Saint Trayvon: Why Trayvon Martin’s killer may go free, & why that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

That’s deep.

I wouldn’t normally expect much coherence or logic in the blitherings of someone who refers to themself as “The Word Pimp,” but in this guy’s case I didn’t find any at all. Drivel, of a fine level of purity.

"What matters is what the twelve jurors believe to be true. I stopped reading after this."

Good idea considering this clueless dork doesn't know there are only six and not twelve.

That there is funny and succinct.

Their job is to determine whether the defendant abided by Florida’s Stand Your Ground law.

SYG does not apply in this case. Either it was self-defense under the law prior to SYG, and under the laws of any other state. Or it was some degree of illegal homicide.

But SYG is just not relevant.

What’s this I hear that Skittles is changing their tagline from “taste the rainbow” to taste the pain, bro?

The problem is that Martin did not want to have an intellectual chin wag.
He just commenced to violence.

What was GZ supposed to do?
Take it?

Trayvon did put up a fight, the same way I taught my children to if they were ever accosted by some creep that could have easily been a pedophile. I’d go so far as to say that Trayvon would have whipped his assailant’s ass, were it not for the gun.

Right. Let's see. GZ is expecting the cops to arrive Real Soon Now, as 911 promised.

So, what better time to take the law into his own hands and execute a punk wearing a hoodie? I mean, what could possibly go wrong? Why, with all those densely packed townhouses around, there's zero chance any of the multi-colored neighbors could possibly observe what their Neighborhood Watch Captain actually did! Well maybe not now. How about five minutes from now? Gotta plan this. Oh wait, the cops will be here by then!

A crime such as that would be dicey for a real cop, but positively insane for a wannabe like GZ. Yep, a brilliant theory! An urbantwisted theory!

Perhaps he was contemplating his next move for his not-yet “all that lost life and potential”.

What do you expect from a liberal? I will bet all the money in my pocket he hates whitey too.

The question we need to ask ourselves is, “Which outcome would be best for everyone?”

Nope, moron. The question to axe is, What outcome is just?

While Justice may indeed be blind, the author of this piece has invented a whole new level of STUPID.

That's where I stopped too. This guy can't distinguish his fantasies from reality.

He’s quite wrong on a basic fact of the case: The “stand your ground” law is totally irrelevant. The defense will not use it. They will use the more fundamental law of self defense. Not the same thing.

I see that the author is writing to the audience that has only seen the angelic 12-year-old-Trayvon pictures. Keep reinforcing that he was just a little kid afraid of dirty old man strangers. In fact, the author himself puts the lie to it when he said TM would've whipped GZ if not for the gun. Trayvon didn't see a pedophile waiting to prey on him, he saw a "cracker."

I have not seen or heard all the evidence, so I don't know whether Zim's guilty and of what, but it is so tiring to read nonsense like this.

What remains a mystery to me is how a mere tenth of the population thinks it can make demands on the rest of society. How does that work? Especially when the 70-80% they believe are cowed are armed to the teeth with rifles, pistols and shotguns and trillions of rounds of ammunition. Someone please explain all this to me.

When your head and nose are busted, and a thug is pounding away on you, there isn’t a lot of time for a philosophical debate about whether or not necessary self defense fulfills the letter of the law. Kill the sucker before he kills you. Trayvon had every opportunity to go home, and he chose to go polar bear hunting. That bad, militant decision is responsible for his death.

If as all the evidence I have seen and heard bears out that Martin was shot by Zimmerman in self defense then Zimmerman must go free. Doesn’t matter if the kid’s skin was black or pinkl polka dots.........
While being STUPID does not get you legally arrested it can get you legally killed..........
