What I can’t understand is how the judge accepted this pathetic piece of sh... er, *work* at Zimmerman’s hearing yesterday, and decided it was sufficient to support the murder 2 charge.

Because of the manipulation and lies of the networks, threats and intimidation by flamethrower Sharpton and pals, and a pronouncement by racist Mad Maxine on the floor of Congress that Trayvon was hunted down like a dog and shot, there is no way Zimmerman can ever get a fair trial. The jury pool across the country is hopelessly tainted.

Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are in a win/win situation on this. Zimmerman gets convicted, they puff out their chests to prove to their minions that THEY had the power and fortitude to help bring on this “justice”.

What they REALLY hope for is an aquittal. THEN they can racebait at a level not seen since Rodney King. They are licking their chops on this.

I read it. It read like the prosecution’s closing arguments. It was laughable.

I have a question that I’ve wondered about. When the cops told Zimmerman to quit following the other guy, was Zimmerman in his car?

Pardon me for the dumb question.

I know why she does not want to go to a Grand Jury, but how
does she get away with not going to the Grand Jury? It
would seem to me that it is required under the 5th Amendment.

Something about not being held to answer for a capital or
otherwise infamous crime without...

just asking.

Zimmerman never spoke to a “cop” at all until after Martin was dead.

Can you imagine being the lone juror who refuses to be intimidated, doesn’t find Zimmerman guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and the Black Panthers put a bounty on your head?

Don’t say something like that couldn’t happen in this country, because it already has happened, hasn’t it?

I think Zimmerman called 911 and I think someone at 911 told him to quit following the kid. I’m just wondering if he was following the kid in his car when that happened. Maybe no one has said yet. I guess it will all come out eventually.

No.

Transcript of Zimmerman Call to Police Dispatch

Contrary to what the charging affidavit asserts, Zimmerman was not told to "wait" either. The word "wait" does not appear anywhere in the transcript of the call.

We don’t need no steenking probable cause.

I fully expect the jury to be intimidated. All of their home addresses and places where they work are going to be Tweeted.

This is a 21st Century American version of a 1930s Stalinist Show Trial.

In this version, it begins with the media.

And of course, it’s already begun.

If you look at the actions in court through the lens of the US Constitution, you are not seeing what’s really going on.

This is High Communism in action, with the full pressure of a Thugocracy in the White House backed up by the threat of large numbers of anonymous murders roaming the streets seeking revenge.

No jury will acquit this man. Juries have families. They don’t want their families dead.

Zimmerman is going down, as surely as any Enemy of the People in 1930s Stalinist Russia. And we are all going to watch it happen in the media.

We all have a ringside seat to an incredible injustice.

The way I first heard it was that the 911 call taker, not the
police, that told him that they did not need him to follow
the guy. When was he given a positive order not to follow?

Are the 911 operators in that county commissioned law
enforcement officers?

The prosecutor didn't have access to the 911 transcripts.

She only knows what the New BlacKKK Pampers told her.

He spoke to a 911 operator who is not a cop and can not issue lawful orders to anybody at any time. Lott addresses this in his article. The suggestion from the operator is not a lawful order and is in fact a canard and irrelevant legally.

Another good analysis, this from Andrew McCarthy.

I guess that’s why we don’t know whether he was in his vehicle or not when the 911 folks suggested he not follow the kid. I read that transcript you cited and couldn’t find where he said that he was in his vehicle or not. He did mention that the cops could find him by finding his truck, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he was in the truck at that time.

It’ll probably come out in the end.
