The truth is coming out without him having to testify and your agenda is showing.

Do you want soup with those crackers Miss?
Yup.
Yes. The classic signature of a propagandist media.
I owe an apology to the German people of the early and middle '30s.
The prosecution-friendly side of the political spectrum has tried to conflate Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law with the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case, but that law is not even applicable here.
Since Zimmerman was on his back on the ground being assaulted, standing his ground was a non-issue, since retreat under such a circumstance was not practical. Thus the "stand your ground" doctrine does not apply, and will not be raised by either the defense or the prosecution. Consequently, the case straightforwardly reduces down to the use of deadly force in self-defense against a violent, criminal assault.
I don't expect any race riots in the event of an acquittal, unless the black leadership and population in this country is significantly more irresponsible than I imagine. The facts of this case are much less ambiguous than those which have triggered such unrest in the past.
The prosecution probably doesn't even believe the Narrative, and notwithstanding that its refutation will be unsettling to those who are propagating it, I believe the black community will ultimately be forced to accept the inconvenient truth before any significant violence erupts. The black leadership will hopefully face the political realities of the situation, and not be exposed as utter fools for fanning the flames of racial animus in a case where it's not even remotely justified.
I thought the same thing about federal civil rights charges being brought against Zimmerman. But I was reminded by a defense lawyer that the FBI already looked at this case and determined that there was not a racial crime - so I’m hoping there won’t be federal charges like the rodney king cops faced.
Indeed.
Back in the day when I was a police officer, my partner and I caught a burglar as he was climbing out of a back window of a store, into an alley-way. He was on store video as well.
He hit the ground and we immediately arrested him.
17-yr old black thug.
When his mama came to the police department she was adamant he wasn’t guilty, had not done a darned thing wrong, you see; “I don’t care if you saw him do it or if you have video, if he said he didn’t do it. . .HE DIDN’T DO IT.”
There was no convincing her otherwise. Seriously.
You are right, facts be darned for some people. Facts are what they want them to be, not what reality shows to be true.
All that I can say is with people like the IRS folks and prosecutors like the ones trying to railroad Zimmerman, much of our government is now our enemy...worse even than during the revolutionary time period. We are in for some really rough times.
