Apparently one person here who said Zimmerman will not get justice is clearly wrong. There are NOT THREATS ANYWHERE that there will be riots if Zimmerman is acquitted. In fact, I challenge you to link to reliable sources which quote anyone threatening riots if Zimmerman is acquitted. Regardless of your belief that black politicians "own" our justice system, they DO NOT. Zimmerman will be tried by a jury of his "peers" selected from a large pool of jurors called for this case. Don't know whether or not the case will end up being tried in Sanford or not; I'd guess not. But don't know. You can watch the jury selection on TV, or if you live close to where the trial will be held, you can go to court and personally watch the process. The prosecution and the defense get to select the jurors. Al Sharpson and Jesse Jackson and whatever black caucus you're talking about will have no say in who gets selected to be on the jury, and I would say that to suggest such a thing is in fact racism, the old fashioned racism. Politicians will have NO SAY in what the jury decides.


I am white and I never hear anything about any "white devil".....where do you hear such biased language? Something you hear at any meetings maybe?
With all due respect Fancy you either have reading comprehension problems or you conjure up images andwords to fit your talking points I once had a neighbor like that, (Barbara is that you?)

Oh well let them have their fun when the mountain of evidence is released we'll see who is laughing.
Maybe it's because you are only posting links & quotes that suit your purpose?

I also pointed out in past posts that Zimmerman's attorney said that some of the sealed evidence, like emails and text messages, might prejudice potential jurors. This is directly from the local news channel in Orlando.

"It's not clear when the evidence will be released.

Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara believes Zimmerman's emails and text messages could prejudice a potential jury. They also believe the new evidence being released will make it more difficult to find a fair jury."

Nope, my name is not Barbara. Do you have problems with your neighbors?

Actually, I score pretty high on reading comprehension tests.

Obviously you can't counter the things I said so you resort to personal attacks. Additionallly, I'm not the one posting canned talking points...

It might be shocking, but IRL many of us have family, friends, neighbors and co-workers of different races whom we like and even love. It's actually common these days. People are too busy living their lives to live in foggy shadows of fear and mistrust, as well as delusions of some vast and inevitable racial war. It's a pretty good place to live; it's
called America.
you know what bingo i agree with that 100 percent but only in maybe 60 percent of the country and not divided by state or region. you dont buy it and i dont buy it but the nsharpton jackson black caucus minions buy it and the racist black leaders get their power from it so they bang the drum and that leads to the national attention and this discussion and yes all of the above as written by you and me.

BTW i am so tired of knocking down the straw men of your fertilemind in that venue i cannnot keep up with your fertile imaginations of what happenned that night i cease to try, "followed and questioned" that really happened huh a foregone conclusion huh?

and to you barbara, i have done more for the black community in one year, any year, than you have in a lifetime. another liberal whiner that leads by talk instead of deed a joe biden al gore real giver I bet!

What you believe does not matter. What Florida law states is what matters.
Is your above response intended to be a response to the quote you posted? If so, you didn't quote me. I didn't say "I'm not a liberal." etc.,etc. That was not posted by me.

I am defintely a liberal. Never been a conservative. And I totally understand that my beliefs and opinions to not transcend Florida law; I'm actually very delighted that that's true.

As for asserting as a fact that the special prosecutor filed charges based on political considerations and not based on evidence wrong; just speculation. There is a remedy for such abuse of power, and no one, not even Alan Derschowitz has had the nerve to make a direct allegation of prosecutorial misconduct.

Also, you obviously have not read the online court file and have no intention of doing so. Is that because you fear it will destroy your pet theory?

Corrected your mistake.



Possibly if that was not a fact Martin would not have been racially profiled.
We do not know who started the altercation between Trayvon and GZ.

Seriously, I've been on this Earth a lot longer than many people on this forum, and I've never met anyone who chased a shoplifter from a supermarket or engaged in a high speed car chase to catch an erratic driver.
Ditto. BTW, just had my 63rd birthday yesterday.

I do not believe that the right to bear arms should automatically give someone a pass in circumstances such as these.

With regard to the high-fiving comment by Edward, you should be as shocked as we are at Zimmerman's arrogance and fraud upon the court. Many of us knew it wouild come out at some point.

I really hope you will take a step back and analyze whether you are allowing politics to define you. This is an internet thread. No one will think badly of you. In fact, many will applaud you.
Great point. Key word..."circumstances here." I am a liberal and normally on the other side of a situation like this; however, the circumstances surrounding this killing, imo, definitely need to be sorted out in an official criminal case in court.

I'm not the one using cliched imagery about "Frankenstein mobs" and the elusive "Barbara" here. Zimmerman's SUV was parked by the mail boxes and Martin's body was found well behind the first row of townhouses. That strongly suggests that Zimmerman was following Martin, and is in accordance with the statements regarding Martin's fear because a stranger was following him as related by his friend. Unless, of course, you're contending that Martin picked Zimmerman out of his truck and carried him back there. The fertile imagination here is in your posts, and they certainly display a well-manured field in which to grow.
