That Trayvon is dead is a tragedy, and an avoidable tragedy.

Here's where I disagree with Pat Buchanan. If St. Martin was, indeed, the aspiring gangsta which all the evidence seems to suggest, curtailing such a career is not necessarily a tragedy.

Innocent lives may have been saved.

Zimmerman’s innocence is evident to anyone with half of a functioning brain. Hopefully, the jurors in this action meet that criterion.

Even Buchanan does that thing where Trayvon Martin is referred to familiarly as "Trayvon" while George Zimmerman is referred to detachedly as "Zimmerman."

You never see an MSM piece where George Zimmerman is referred to as "George" and Trayvon Martin as "Martin."

Great post! It would be hard to top Pat’s take on the events. It’s obvious also that the judge (aka “dude looks like a lady”) is tampering with the process in light of the way the “she-he” belittled the defense team yesterday. Pathetic at least. The Great OZ has spoken.

There is a deep sadness as I type this question. Since the moment Trayvon Martin died, countless thousands of shootings have occured in the black communities, topped by a count of 1000 in six months in Chicago.
I read and/or hear virtually NOTHING from local politicians, Federal officials, civil right “leaders” and the former U.S. Media. In the name of G*D...WHY?
As the national funeral business booms (a growth industry?) there is but a SINGLE case that tears the nation apart.
Oh, is something screwed up. It bodes not well for us.

The people I would like to see prosecuted include:

1. The parents, for a lousy job of raising their offspring

2.Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Barak Obama, for race-baiting and inciting racial tension that may well lead to riots and deaths

3. The state of Florida for rairoading an innocent man who was trying to defend himself

4.Eric Holder, for abuse of power

George Zimmerman should be an object lesson for all who seek to take the initiative in protecting your immediate environs:

1. Do it quietly, without the foreknowledge of anyone, especially the police

2. Carry a revolver, not a pistol

3. Keep your mouth shut

Right on the money. This was an unfortunate incident where one person shot another person in self defense.

Pretty good advice, but I would suggest carrying the same firearm as the location you live in. LRPD here carries Glock 22 and Glock 23. Carry the same ammo as them also: Remington Golden Saber 155 gr. +P. Carry the same manner as they do: Full magazines + 1 in chamber. Always.

To send the other to prison for what happened that night would be an act of vengeance, not justice, an invocation of the old lex talionis -- an eye for an eye.
That's not what America is supposed to be about.

0bama promised to fundamentally change America.

In most places in this country, one who CCW’s and who came across a scenario of Martin on top of him and smashing Zimmerman’s head into the sidewalk repeatedly.......the stranger could legally shoot the thug. So why can’t Zimmerman defend himself?

Because that would be very un-PC, and unfortunately, we all know PC rules the day.

Because Obama needed something to energize the base at that point in the election.

Also, because it was Obama’s son that was bashing Zimmerman’s head into the sidewalk.

If Zimmerman’s last name was Rodriguez, this event wouldn’t have made it out of Seminole County.

Unfortunate situation all the way around that had its beginnings years and years previously. The trillions of dollars given to ne’er do wells by the govn to buy votes and power caused this. This trial is an attempt at a modern day lynching. If a person, GZ in this case, doesn’t have the right to defend himself then society and order is lost. The race baiters, liberal media, DOJ, and even the president(term used very loosely and without respect) convicted GZ, who killed TM while fighting for his life, before he ever had a day in court. In fact GZ should not be in court as he was not charged after an investigation by the Sanford police. He was only charged and arrested because of pressure from the imperial wizards of liberalism and racism. Now after the facts, brought out via the trial, clearly demonstrate GZ acted in self defense the liberal racism complex wants him to be found guilty of something-anything. This is a lynch mob plain and simple. If GZ is not totally exonerated this country and court system is finished. Sad, sad sign of the times and to the depths that this country has sunk. May God help us all.

Pat Buchanan is well on his way to expertise in racial pandering, as this whopper illustrates: “All agree it would have been better if Zimmerman had never left his car or followed Trayvon that night.”

Sorry, Patsy Poo - speak for your self. Americans know all that Zimmerman dis that night was legal. However, the “Pandering Class”, which you seem to be eager to join, groveled and agreed with the race card players that somehow Zimmerman was wrong to follow St. Martin of the Purple Drank.

Wrong, Pasty Poo! In America, one can follow. Ask any reporter, etc.

Patsy Poo has accepted the following black racists loudly proclaimed premises:
1. Zimmerman watching Martin somehow “dissed” (sorry if my command of “Blacklish”/Ebonics is deficient) a black male wandering at night in a rain and seemingly high as well.
2. This “dissing” justified the innocent lil’, self described “No Limit Nigga” attempting to seriously injure or kill Zimmerman.

Pat is a Christian, by belief and profession. As such he tends to be charitable, even where it is inappropriate. Mr. “No Limit Nigga” started a fight and was killed during it when he escalated a mere fight into a felony level assault/murder attempt.

Why Pat chose to become Patsy Poo and ooze unctuous and fallacious reasons why “we” should agree Zimmerman made mistakes that night is pandering - pure and simple.

Zimmerman was right. Martin was wrong, and started the attack in which he died.

‘Nuff said.

You can’t just go around sucker punching every security person you run into. Although Zimmerman was not a professional and paid security person, he was the designated and authorized community watch person.

“2. Carry a revolver, not a pistol”

Why? Many inexperienced shooters do better with an autoloading pistol.

PS It is standard procedure for a pistol to be carried with a round in the chamber.

PPS Why the Defense didn’t have NRA certified instructors to show why such carry is both normal and necessary escapes me.

Unfortunately if history is any guide Mr. Zimmerman will probably be unjustly convicted. It’s obvious through recent high profile trials that the majority of Americans have become too dumbed down and idiotic to handle serious, thoughtful jury duty. It’s time to change the system and have some type of professional juries.
