But he didn’t follow him. He watched him, but he didn’t follow him. There is not a shred of evidence that he did. He calls 911 says there is this guy looking in houses, he drives past Martin and parks his car. Martin walks towards Zimmermans parked car with his hand in his waist which GZ describes to the 911 operator. Trayvon then circles Zimmermans car. To me that was to check if Zimmerman was alone. He then walks away and disappears. Zimmerman gets out of his car TO follow him, starts running in fact, but he lost him. You can’t follow somebody if you don’t know where they are. 911 guy says don’t follow him so he stops running which you again hear on the 911 tape. 911 guy then asks ZImmerman what street he is on, Zimmerman says I do not know. So he goes to check the street sign and that is when Trayvon atacks him.

if your criticism of the media is that they prejudged him, not that they prejudged him as guilty rather than innocent, then you shouldn't prejudge him yourself if you want to be consistent

There is no contradiction. The media has shown and continues to show not just willful ignorance but malice and journalistic malpractice by ignoring facts which have been known for over a year. They do not have an informed opinion on the case and are not qualified to offer one.

There has been little meaningful information presented so far in the trial that hasn't been known for a year. Anybody who has taken the time to read articles, to use just one example, proving that TM doubled back from the place he was staying to attack GZ is free to "prejudge" him with the same evidence that will eventually be presented to the jury.

Use three layers, and some duct tape. All that stuff you listed? Pish. Another day in a decaying republic. You want coincidence? Here’s coincidence:

- “Fruitdale”, a movie about a white cop shooting an unarmed black teenager, opens nationally on July 12. One random reviewer claims the director “maintains it wasn’t meant to be accurate”: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2334649/

- This year’s NAACP convention is being held July 13 through July 17 — in Orlando, FL: http://www.naacp.org/pages/convention

I now extend my arm straight out, drop my keyboard, turn around, and walk away with one bad-ass limp.

So, do the flashmobs assemble beginning July 13 or July 18?

The prosecution does not care if they have a credible case for the over charge of Murder 2. The jury was picked to guarantee a bad outcome in spite of fact and evidence.

The white lady jurors are on the spot. If they say not guilty, the riots begin because it will be said it was unfair that no blacks were on the jury. If they say manslaughter, it will not be good enough and there will still be riots. If they say Murder 2, they will still riot, but GZ will be prime for appeal or an overturn of the verdict.

Trouble is on the horizon. Be ready!

One of the witnesses last week testified that she saw the smaller guy on the bottom of the fight and figured that must have been TM — until the Defense proved to her and the jury that she had been completely taken in by the year-long photographic propaganda campaign that TM looked like a 12-year-old.

An excellent question. It becomes clearer every day that Judge Kangaroo will not grant a dismissal when the Prosecution case is finished, as the rioters would be able to paint her as The Judge Who Let Zimmerman Go.

That means the defense will put on their case, assuming they have any witnesses left. If they offer all the evidence supporting reasonable doubt and self-defense that has been common knowledge in those circles where it would be common knowledge since May or June of last year, it will go far longer as the Prosecution case has — two weeks at a minimum. And if they begin to delve into Parks/Crump malfeasance (witness coaching, how many “DeeDee”s there actually are, suborning perjury, etc.), add at least another week to that.

So you might actually be ok for August. I think the first delay of the trial had not been anticipated by the film’s distributor and the NAACP.

Sherman, I saw your post earlier where you mentioned your location. I’m pinging you to call your attention to my #123 here re astonishingly coincidental random events, FWIW.

I haven’t forgotten that it was the media who creatively edited the 911 call from Zimmerman to make it appear that his only concern was that Martin was black.

It was also the national media who picked up this story three weeks after it happened! And turned it into a cause celebre by omitting selected portions of the local reporting -- like the eyewitness reports.

Initially, the event didn't create a stir in the local community -- because the local reporting was thorough and established pretty clearly that it was a case of self-defense.

It wasn't until the national media sensationalized and misreported the event three weeks later that the rabble-rousers got to work and inflamed the blacks.

Whose idea was it, I wonder, to ask the national media to revive the story...and misreport it?

Who voted the media judge and jury?

They did.

Why does the media always preface Martin with the Honorific “teen?”


Because he was a teenager. He was sevenTEEN.
