"Sympathetic victim"? A trouble-making gangbanger suspended for marijuana possession and possibly assault on a bus driver who had burglar's tools and women's jewelry on his person? A young man who had just bought the ingredients for "Purple Drank/Purple Lean" when shot and had THC in his blood system? Back in my day that would've described a serious juvenile delinquent, at best. Has everything changed that much?

Back in my day that would’ve described a serious juvenile delinquent, at best. Has everything changed that much? .................................................. JD is not PC anymore, misguided troubled helpless youth is a better fitting description today. In my day the punk would have had the strap taken to his butt by his father with a cop telling the father to hit him again. But today that’s abuse. The parents should be on trial not Zimmerman. I believe their real interest in this mater is nothing more than more $$$$$, that’s parental love for ya.

Just remember, folks: the goal of the Circus in Sanford is to get both the Florida Stand Your Ground Law and the Castle Doctrine struck down.

This creates court precedent for Leftist activists to get similar laws in other states stricken from the books.

End result? Citizens cannot defend themselves when the Gibsmedats come boiling out of the urban kraals.

Back-door Gun Control, legislated from the bench. That’s all there ever is or was to this case.

Striking more terror into Whitey's heart is a twofer.

Sympathetic victim? You mean the neighborhood watch guy attacked by a thug who tried to kill him?

Eric Zorn is an uber-lefty, and is well known to be rabidly anti-gun, and so quick to vilify anyone acting in self-defense, unless that person is a minority (but even at that, if the minority self-defender had used a gun Zorn would slam him for it).

So, the fact that in this article Eric Zorn showed even the slightest effort at trying to be objective is mind-boggling, and should send shivers up the spines of all of Skittles’ supporters.

The script has been flipped in open court, by the facts. The irony and karma is pure justice: Martin racially profiled, stalked, and attacked Zimmerman, trying to kill him with Zimmerman’s own gun. Zimmerman’s entire story has held up.

Trayvon is NOT A VICTIM. He’s a dead perpetrator of attempted murder.

Now the Trayvon camp is insisting it was never about race, shouldn’t be about race, seeing as they’ve been exposed now...Trayvon called Zimmerman racial epithets, profiled and stalked/tried to murder Zimmerman, not the other way around.

If Zimmerman is acquitted, Eric Holder’s justice department will probably file civil rights charges against him.

A young man who had just bought the ingredients for "Purple Drank/Purple Lean" when shot ....

A bit off-topic, but speaking of Purple Lean, the Rite-Aid Pharmacy where I get my prescriptions has a very big display of Arizona Iced Tea, standing all by itself, on the end cap of the row containing the cold and allergy medication. All by itself, completely isolated from the place where other beverages are sold. The cold medicine is directly nearby.

Just maybe the problem in Florida is Angela Corey!
Not only in the George Zimmerman case but the two cases involving
Marissa Alexander and Ronald Thompson. Both involving use of a firearm, both persons receiving 20 year sentences. No person was injured. Both were bulldozed through by Angela.
Ronald’s case was overturned and then Angela appeal, then the court ruled for a new trial because of wording on instructions to the jury. Angela says she will look at filing for another trial.
Marissa is still in prison for shooting a warning shot at her abusive husband who was threatening her.
Something is VERY wrong in this state when the Fat B-—is crucifying the people that have every right to protect one’s self.
All I know if I’m ever threatened and if I shoot to warn and could receive 20 years, I will go the whole nine yards!
Time to FIRE Angela Corey and free Marissa Alexander and Ronald Thompson

I don't presume to know exactly what happened between Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin on the subdivision walkway on that rainy night in Sanford, Fla., in early 2012. And, a week into the prosecution's case, I don't know how anyone else can presume to know....

And there it is, the bottomline for the media dingbats. The media circus clowns and the Florida state clowns don't have the evidence to convict a presumed innocent man. The defended doesn't have to prove anything under our system of justice.

‘Has everything changed that much?’

Not sure if you have been paying attention or not, but we have a black messiah in the White House now...can you say, transformative?

Nails it...

Evidence of innocence explained away with far-fetched theories or else ignored.

Evidence of guilt magnified and bolstered with irrelevant detail and innuendo.
