And that's it in a nutshell. The violence and mayhem caused by people prone to scream racism is all they have. Decent people accept loss and move on.

Huh? George himself said they were only offering legal advice but were not his lawyers. I'm pretty sure of all the people in the world who would know, he would be that one person.

Pay attention!

Attorneys lie all the time. It's what they do.

I wonder why they resigned? When I heard they lost contact with him I thought perhaps he committed suicide, which if that happened I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't want anyone to take their own life, but with the talk of him being depressed and possible PTSD, that was my first inclination. This whole situation is bizarre and sad

No, you misunderstood me. I said that they wouldn't lie about representing him (verbally or not) or withdrawing from the case.

If you've ever visited an attorney, even to make a will, you know what is said between you and the attorney is privileged. It doesn't mean you actually hired that attorney, however. Not until there is a contract signed are they actually his attorneys. That's why I said in an earlier post that I wondered if this was just a ploy. In any case, it certainly gave them some free advertising.

Martin's family are decent people. They just wanted justice!

I don't think there is a recording of the call, but the timing will figure significantly in the DOJ investigation. The girlfriend's story is interesting. She said that Martin had the phone in his pocket and was using an earpiece, which fell to the ground.

By the way, the attorneys were on CNN and Fox too, not just MSNBC.
Or his friend Joe who has given several interviews?
Or the attorneys who are really representing him if those were not in fact his attorneys...
Maybe the real attorneys wanted to remain secret...

George Zimmerman has launched a website and he’s using it to solicit donations. That’s one of those things you could see coming, but which still shocks you—kind of like the rash of killings after the Stand Your Ground laws. The first thing on the site is the statement “I am the real George Zimmerman.” Thanks for the heads up, George. Please don’t shoot. It’s not that big of a site, but it’s really amazing that every sentence on this site manages to be incredibly offensive on some level. George says “On Sunday February 26th, I was involved in a life altering event...” A life altering event? For Trayvon Martin, it was a life ending event. George assures visitors “This website’s sole purpose is to ensure my supporters they are receiving my full attention without any intermediaries.” Wow. George, we’ve already seen what happens when someone gets your “full attention.” No thanks! And “without any intermediaries”? Thank God! When I’m giving money to a guy who shot an unarmed kid, I don’t want some sleaze ball scammer getting a cut of it.

No blood on the collar no blood on his head hair in place no facial bruising no blood on face.

He's toast.

Dale Cooper says that "decent people except loss and move on".....That's like looking at your legs that have been chopped of last month..still leaking blood...and you should go take a stroll into the sunset whistling the theme to Titanic....it is not a "decent" person who with out question ignores injustice and moves on to the next injustice...
