They'll defend him to no end. They'll say he had a right to run and then say something about Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton while totally glossing over the fact the man is a known liar with a shady past.

The info is there it's not my problem you choose to ignore it
Do you have any comment on Zimmerman's bail being revoked? Or do you have any comment regarding Zimmerman's honesty now that his bail has been revoked for lying about how much money he had at the time?

The donations were coming in after he was bailed out. He didn't lie, he didn't have it yet. This is a case of the state trying to play up a losing case.

I am disturbed by some black folk that jump to I think a paranoid conclusion that this was some sort of profiling based on race and race alone. As I have said before, Arabs in general I don't pay much notice but Arabs on a plane give me pause for concern. I think young black men with a negative history in this neighborhood is the problem.
Not that I am naive enough to believe there isn't still racism in the world I do believe that it has become more of xenophobic by definition than racial hate. It is a trust problem based on I believe mutual negativity so what say we all get a little more positive. As an old psych teacher once said to me you come at me fist rolled up how do expect I am going to come back?
And all of that ^^^^ is based on Zimmerman's word? So what do you think of the news today that Zimmerman's bond has been revoked because he lied at the bail hearing? This is additional evidence that Zimmerman will have a problem getting a jury to believe what he says.

Wow I know you guys are giddy as all out but I just read the article. Seems the judge wasn't buying his excuses. Bail has nothing to do with guilt or innocence. Nothing has changed from my perspective.

How could he expect a jury to believe things he says when he seems to be establishing such a record for dishonesty?

No, the donations were coming in when he was in jail. The evidence was his phone conversations with his wife regarding the amounts he was receiving and transferring (over $100k) while he was in jail.

He then told the Judge they had no money, AFTER these conversations happened

Why should he be forced to hand over the money donated for his defense, to be held as bond, stripping him of the ability to defend himself?

lying to the Judge has everything to do with character and honesty though.
