RUSH: The media is sorta unbalanced today. They are panicking that the prosecution of George Zimmerman is imploding.
The media is totally invested in George Zimmerman being convicted as a racist "white Hispanic." They are totally invested, and it looks like the prosecution's case is just imploding -- and, as such, there's panic now. So much so, ladies and gentlemen, so much so that there is now talk and agitating for race riots. Grab audio sound bite number 12. This is last night on ABC News Nightline. The anchor, Dan Abrams, is interviewing Sanford, Florida, police chief Cecil Smith. The question from Dan Abrams: "If Zimmerman is found not guilty, is your office ready for that?"
SMITH: I believe we have plans that will be able to deal with issues as they arise.
ABRAMS: I assume the worst-case scenario, then, would be riots?
SMITH: Yeah, and I will say it again: You know, we are not talking about riots. We're talking about rallies. If people choose to come to Sanford and voice their opinions or if they want to come and rally, we welcome that. We want people to have the opportunity to express themselves.
RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, come on in!
The media guy says (summarized exchange), "Well, obviously you're talking about riots then?" and the police chief said, "No, no! We're not talking about riots. We're talking about rallies. If you want to come in and rally here in Sanford, Florida, why, we'd love to have you! Come on in for the rallies if Zimmerman's acquitted." Dan Abrams said, "Well, I mean, worst-case scenario is riots, right?" "Ah, we're not talking about riots. We're talking about rallies." They're agitating for riots already. The media sees it imploding. So they're looking for any positive news they can and they're finding it in Obama delaying the implementation of the best piece of legislation the world has ever known.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You know, folks, I'm sitting here, once again, I have been so dumb. I've been so gullible and just too trusting. I really thought that one of the reasons that we elected and then reelected Barack Obama was so that there would not be anymore race riots. I thought the election of the first black president would end racial strife, and so did millions of Americans who voted for Obama on that basis. I mean, millions of Americans voted for Barack Obama because they hoped that it meant the end of racism. That if enough people voted for Obama, the conclusion would be there are no racists in America anymore. We have cleansed our souls and we have been absolved of our sins that stem from slavery. And, by golly, you know, it just seems to have gotten worse out there. Isn't it a shame?
Now we actually have media people agitating for race riots in regard to the George Zimmerman trial because the prosecution in this trial is imploding. We have a media that is totally invested in Zimmerman being found guilty and handing and then electrocuted and then drowned and then shot and then cremated for whatever happened to Trayvon Martin who, if Obama had a son, that's what he would look like. But I thought that electing Obama and reelecting Obama, none of this was gonna happen anymore. I'm kind of sad, a little letdown. Major disappointment. Such high hopes. I really thought it was gonna be the end to all this.
Let's go to the audio sound bites. We have montage here of media and others sort of realizing that they're gonna lose the Zimmerman case. So in addition to agitating for riots, the media is suggesting here that maybe get a conviction on a lesser charge. This guy's gonna get convicted of something, by God, if it's jaywalking with a racial intent.
PIERS MORGAN: What about manslaughter? What about the possibility that they could convict on a lesser charge?
JUDGE ALEX FERRER: If he gets convicted of manslaughter, it's actually as bad for him as second degree murder.
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: They have a lesser charge there. Manslaughter.
J. CHENEY MASON: A compromise verdict for manslaughter.
TUCKER CARLSON: Why not manslaughter?
CHRISTOPHER DARDEN: Manslaughter. A compromise verdict.
ANDERSON COOPER: Is it possible for the jury to on their own say, "Well we don't think it's second degree murder, but manslaughter"?
SUNNY HOSTIN: A lesser included charge which would be manslaughter.
WOLF BLITZER: Maybe better off with manslaughter.
LIS WIEHL: Negligence, a negligent homicide, manslaughter, assault. Something!
RUSH: Isn't it amazing? Here comes the media begging, "Can we at least do manslaughter? Oh, my God, we're not gonna get murder one, can we get manslaughter?" This guy's gotta get convicted of something. We're too invested in this. And short of a conviction, the media is saying, "Oh, it would be so, so sad if we had riots." You can see what's being stoked out there.
Here is Mark Geragos. You may remember the name. He's been a lawyer on TV for a long time. He's represented a lot of TMZ type people. He's represented a lot of people low-information voters follow and know who they are. I don't remember him. Was Geragos involved in the Michael Jackson trial? You know, I get Geragos confused with Gloria Allred and that whole LA legal bunch out there. Anyway, it's last night on CNN, self-defense or murder, the George Zimmerman trial. Yes, a CNN special, because the prosecution is imploding. And the legal analyst, Jeffrey Toobin and criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos, during a panel discussion about the prosecution strategy, Jeffrey Toobin says, "Why, as a prosecutor, would you call the defendant's best friend? Why would you do this? Why give the defendant's best friend a forum to say what a great guy George Zimmerman is? Why would the prosecution do that?"
GERAGOS: They're throwing the case!
TOOBIN: The interview - Mark, Mark. Oh, stop.
GERAGOS: They're throwing the case!
TOOBIN: Mark, stop it.
GERAGOS: I know you don’t believe this. (crosstalk)
COOPER: Why would they be throwing the case?
GERAGOS: I honestly believe at this point, after watching the cops do payback and everything else, I really think, and watching the prosecution sit there when Mark O’Mara asks questions that are beyond a reasonable doubt objectionable and they don't object, they wait until the following day, I think they've just decided they're just going to phone this in. They're going to lose this and say, "Okay, you guys wanted us to file this case; we filed it."
RUSH: Can I translate that for you? What Mark Geragos is saying is there never has been a case. Mark Geragos is saying that the prosecution was forced into this by the media, national media, local media, societal pressures, even local media, local law enforcement -- well, not so much local law enforcement. But the first state attorney on this case. And Geragos is saying these prosecutors, they don't have a case, they don't have a case, so what they're doing here, they're phoning it in. They're gonna lose it, and they're gonna say, "Look, we didn't have a case. You wanted us to file a case. There wasn't a case. We didn't have a guilty plea here, but you people demanded it, so we're giving it to you." And he's sincere.
Because what's happening in this case -- this witness is just one example. There have been two prosecution witnesses who have been better for Zimmerman than any of the defense witnesses that have been called. It really has been remarkable. There have been two witnesses called by the prosecution which destroyed the prosecution's case. I'm having a mental block -- I can't remember off the top of my head. So Geragos is saying, look, these guys are not this bad, you know, even small-town prosecutors in Florida are not this bad. They're phoning it in, they're doing the best they have because they don't have a case. They just did this because of the societal pressure and the media pressure. And when it's all over they're gonna say, "Hey, look, you wanted us to file it, we filed it. You wanted us to prosecute it, we prosecuted it. But that's the best we had."
END TRANSCRIPT
Ask Reginald Denny. Google him if the name is not familiar.
I'm willing to contribute to a legal fund for the next Reginald Denny to sue the media for inciting a riot resulting in severe injuries or worse. Is anyone else?
If Geragos think they are throwing the case, they must be doing a pretty good job. Also, never underestimate the incompetence of an attorney who starts off a trial with a knock knock jock.
On Friday CNN ran a scroll that was the exact opposite of the actual testimony...
---------------------------------------------------------------
Third News Network Admits to False Reporting on George Zimmerman
The first was NBC, which admitted doctoring a 911 tape. This is not an accident that takes place in the hustle and bustle of putting together a newscast.
Then all of a sudden ABC decides that they're gonna enhance the video, and they say that they strip a layer away -- this is police video, by the way, now -- and that all of a sudden, lo and behold, there is evidence of injury on the back of George Zimmerman's head.
Now it is CNN saying that after enhancing the audio of Zimmerman's 911 call, they don't think he used a racial slur after all.
The Lynch Mob Media achieved its purpose. It whipped up a frenzy of racial hatred to promote its leftist agenda. Now they're doing a few "oops" corrections to try and save some credibility with the gullible. Only a fool would buy anything they peddle after this.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Usually, the only cases that go to trial are dead bang losers. If it could go either way they wind up settled (civil cases) or plea bargains (criminal). My first trial was a certain loser. The client wanted a trial no matter what. My boss papered the file warning him of the certain loss and that he should settle. They sent me in and I got my rookie brains beat in for two weeks. I literally had nothing. The upside for me was that I have never been afraid to try a case since then.
There have been a few of us here on Free Republic that thought the prosectution was just going threw the motions to satisfy the left wing mobs. They know there is no case here.
I was just discussing this with a co-worker today. Exact same thoughts. The guvn’r and state attorney bowed to the MEDIA and societal pressure to put on this kangaroo court.
Was it Minitrue or Minipax that was responsible for "Two Minutes Hate?" I have forgotten; looks like I have a reading assignment this weekend.
Sanford Florida is not required. Let then burn it to the ground.
When the prosecution reach for hypotheticals to fill in the blanks for their lack of evidence, even the densest in the Liberal Main Stream Media may start to understand.
The MSM is responsible for the riots to come, and they will breathlessly cover the "legitimate Black Rage".
While that may be true.....afte the Simpson case, a Zimmerman conviction wouldn’t surprise me. They’re trying to railroad the poor guy.
Defense needs to compare blood rushing into Zimmerman’s nasal passages from bloody nose while he was on his back to waterboarding. Create image of FEAR in Zimmerman prior to shooting.
This goal of this “trial” is to create a large, racially motivated riot, which should spread to several major cities across the U.S., giving BO the cover he needs to declare martial law. IMHO
After the riots following Zimmerman’s acquittal Eric Holder will probably indict Zimmerman for violating the civil rights of the sweet innocent little child. Look at what happened to the LAPD cops after the riots in 1992. George H. W. Bush, aka “kinder gentler nation Bush”, sold those poor guys down the river.
I hate the MSM.....they need to be sued for their action here.
I could not believe how the state prsented the hoodie. They had it in a box looking like a cross. Arms out, and they framed it so that they cutout a surrounding backing piece to exaggerate it being a cross.
How the defense couldn’t object to this.
Further the prosecution guy when referring to Martin repeatedly called him a “the victim” without any challenge from defense. that’s a judgment statement form the state attorney.
Unlike this trial it wouldn’t be a difficult case to make. Their excuses for doctoring tapes and the like are incredibly lame.
Their continued pumping the story has made a fair trial difficult, but the absence of a case against Zimmerman has so far carried the day. We'll see.
In the meantime, their presentation of St. Trayvon, their vilification of Zimmerman, and continued race-baiting will likely lead to bloodshed.
If it bleeds, it leads, like an arms merchant they can profit either way. What a way to sell soap.
If the SHTF, the highest priority targets will have a lens, not brass on their shoulders, and not be packing a radio, nor carrying a medic bag.
The sensation should have been much the same--one of drowning in his own blood.
They are just following orders.
How much have we heard about:
Fast and Furious?
Benghazi?
Other arms runnning programs arming the Muslim Brotherhood and AlQaida?
the IRS/NSA snoop and poop schemes?
Obamacare and you...?
This is a smokescreen, and a very effective one.
And the US Govt has declared war on the legitimate Citizens of the USA.
Here is what I believe. OweBowMao got the hate invective stirred up to get the vote out in Florida. The race monger lives off of class and race divisions, and this case was made to feed on that and get out the black vote in Florida.
After all it was a white Hispanic - the first ever.
Hence his statement, “If I had a son he would look like Trayvon.”
Now that he won the state and election he could care less, knowing that the media is now committed to finishing off what he started.
You have never seen a prosecution this good on Matlock where all of the evidence was as contradictory to the states case as what we have here.
Writers do not put out plotlines this one sided. If this were a television plotline where Zimmerman were unfairly tried, Zimmerman wouldn’t have been on the phone with the neighborhood watch dispatch. There would have been no interviews on the scene. Zimmerman’s injury pictures wouldn’t have been discovered until the last day of the trial.
Notice how the persecution and the media keep bringing up “stand-your-ground?”
That’s what this trial is about, despite the fact that it is irrelevant.
When the media, Holder etc. went after Zimmerman, they intended to make the case a fulcrum from which to move the issue to the forefront. They evidently knew nothing about it then, and now they’re trying not to look like fools.
This makes the whole charade even more outrageous.
“Defense needs to compare blood rushing into Zimmerman’s nasal passages from bloody nose while he was on his back to waterboarding.
The sensation should have been much the same—one of drowning in his own blood.”
Agreed. That should convince the jurors that Zimmerman feared for his life!
Unless it is proven that Zimmerman had a “depraved mind” I don’t see how he can be convicted of murder or manslaughter. It appears to be a justifiable use of force.

Yes, and a majority of Americans voted to ratify that lawless state of affairs.
I thunk Geragos is right on this one. The prosecution was forced into it because of racial bigotry against Zimmerman and political pressure. And they knew all along that they didn't have a case.
If they riot, I am prepared to do whatever is necessary to not go down like Reginald Denny...
Toadman ~:” ..The guvn’r and state attorney bowed to the MEDIA and societal pressure to put on this kangaroo court.”
This is where the blame should be laid .
The LibTurd media jumped on this case 3 weeks after it happened , and then they fed on each other, stoking each other.
The media has jumped on this case based on ‘race’
Then we got into the selectively edited tapes - and then that edited tape got pumped up by the media .
Then add to the out of control media , the political statement: “If I had a son ..” furthering the racial issue, and racial divide .
The media has already tried the case in public ; this is just a “show trial” reminscent of the Soviet Republic
and the media is complicit !
AND DON’T FORGET, ALL YOU “WHITE HISPANIC’S”... IT IS THE DEMOCRATS WHO WANTED TO NAIL ZIMMERMAN
They also should emphasize the disorientation and sense of panic that arises while having your skull bashed into concrete while a fist smashes your nose...
I don't think so, I think there was a ton of voter fraud.
White people in Sanford and in major metro areas need to treat it like a natural disaster. Have your bags packed, when you hear the verdict is coming in, leave.
Yeah and since the lamestream media depends upon ‘sensational news’ for ratings, it looks like they are just propagating their paychecks by feeding the flames of racial hatred and instigating possible riots if GZ is not convicted. The more riots = the more sensational the news = the higher their ratings = the bigger their paychecks. The left always has a self-serving ulterior motive for their actions.
