Trial watching is to always expect the unexpected.

If this hasn't already been noted:

That's just a few corrections from this page. Correcting everything would be a full time job. Most people seem to prefer their ignorance anyway, so I'm rarely responding any more.
Like I said a couple of pages ago, sit back and read the comics until the trial is well under way. I'm sure Nancy Grace and a few others will pop in on this thread with their spin on the days happenings.

It doesn't matter one bit to me whether you consider me prejudiced, racist, or both.

Being prejudiced isn't just the domain of the white and pointed at different people. It can (believe it or not) be pointed at white people by other races as well.
I would have never figured that out had you'd not informed me.

Please show me where anyone here has been "racist" (or a proven murderer for that matter?). As in it's actual definition, not the "popular" definition (which seems to be any white person that comes into conflict with a black person).
I've not seen it yet.
Evidence is all over this thread and all over this forum. If you can't see it, you simply don't care to.

Please feel free to show me where anyone said that Zimmerman was superior to Martin due to his being black OR that anybody is superior to black people?
I just wait right here while you look (tapping foot).

Here, I'll give you a hint:
From Websters,
rac·ism noun \ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi-\
A belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.

I don't have to show you that. I don't even care to try to find something like that. There are plenty of other statements through this thread and others that celebrate Martin's death and make blatantly racist assumptions about his character, family, actions and fate. If you know how to read you can find them as easily as anyone else.

I would think that they would want to keep Zimmerman off the stand. I really don't see how they can in this case tho.

The facts & 911 tapes speak for themselves! Zimmermann was told not to confront Trayvon and he got out of his car and did the opposite of what he was told to do.
Let's reverse the "race" issue! Zimmerman "black" and "Trayvon "white! A black man shooting a Unarmed "white " teenage boy would have been in Jail that same day.

This is the trial that never should have been. I wonder after being acquitted if Zimmerman can sue those who caused this to be railroaded into trial or will he just be happy to be a free citizen again after doing more than his civic duty to try and make his neighborhood a safer place.

It is really sad that a neighborhood is so bad that the police cannot keep it safe and then when a volunteer tries to help out and is attacked and defends himself gets into trouble because he defended himself.

If Zimmerman had been killed, do you think we would still be talking about it? It would have just been another murder in the neighborhood. I see it on the news all the time. "Man left Starbucks and was shot in order to rob him." "Child was shot in baby carriage." "Woman dies of a heart attack when robber enters her home." I haven't seen anybody marching to try and stop this type of crime from happening.

I also don't hear many people teaching their children to respect those in charge.

I guess you missed the place where he was going back to his vehicle and was attacked. That does not fit with what you want to say happened.
