Just a thought: Zimmerman’s lawyers said he contacted the prosecutor on his own. What if Zimmerman asked to be charged as being arrested and facing trial is better than running around with a bounty on his head from thousands of people who want to lynch him.

Both for his own protection and possibly the protection of his family he wanted to be arrested and face a jury.

Some questions I have for the audience:

If Zimmerman is eventually exonerated will the Feds come after him?

Did the state prosecuting attorney decide to charge him to protect him from being taken to task by the Feds?

If the grand jury had looked at this case, before the state prosecutor took it over, and ruled in favor of Zimmerman would the Feds still have gone after him?

This case gives me a real sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

They are saying, “You CANNOT defend yourself from thugs!” IF the thugs are black.

The realization that this man cannot get a fair trial is... I don’t know, a travesty?

There may be evidence that they have good reason to charge him, but I’m afraid it’s just the race pimps that caused this.

No matter how this turns out, it won't be pretty.

Anybody know what kind of life expectancy In Trade is giving Zimmerman in jail?

WHERE'S THE MEDIA ON THIS ONE?


21 YEAR OLD Tyrone (not 'Trayvon') Woodfork has been arrested for the attempted murder of Bob Strait and the brutal rape , beating and murder of his wife of 65 years Nancy Strait:

>>>Zimmerman’s Attorney Mark O’Mara says that his client will plead not guilty and asks that people not jump to conclusions about whether he’s guilty....

Mr. Lawyer, that ship has sailed... even Dear Leader as all but said “guilty”. A fair trial with an impartial jury is impossible.

Why use a 'recent but undated' photo when Zimmerman's mug shot is available?

Gee, I wonder...

I doubt that Zimmerman can get a fair trial anywhere in this country.

If a juror wants to keep himself and his family safe from reprisals after the trial, he has no choice but to vote guilty. Otherwise, his name and photo and address will go up on Twitter.

I will point out that Obama, though his public statements, could have been VERY helpful in helping Zimmerman get a fair chance of acquittal. It is a national disgrace that he has done exactly the opposite.

I think the lesson here is that 4 more years of Obama and we will be disarmed victims.

I have not heard a single argument for Zimmerman or Trayvon that isn’t a fallacious appeal to ignorance.

As in “we know that Trayvon didn’t attack Zimmerman because we don’t know that he did,” and every variation of that sentence.

I think the Prosecutor did Zimm a favor by charging him with 2nd degree murder. It will be tough to reach that standard of proof. She would have been better off charging him with manslaughter. Just sayin’
