Did George Zimmerman pull the switch?

He used his super duper extra special powers of telepathy.

12 years, getting better, but still not good enough.

God gives Government the sword to deal with murderers.

I read enough about the case to support the death penalty but missed the detail that the evil murderer happened to be black. Why would anyone care about skin color for Vaughn Ross, eye color for Charles Manson, or any other trivial detail. It’s the crimes themselves that matter, and I have seen very few death sentences that bothered me. My main complaint is that even Texas doesn’t execute enough deserving murderers, and the other states are endangering decent people by letting so many killers out to kill again.

@45: "this writer thinks the color of the criminal is all that matters..not the crime he committed and was tried for and convicted..."

I suspect the writer does see the crime, but blames it on someone else, or some other race, or society in general, anyone but the murderer himself. Thus to the writer, the murderer is innocent of the crime, because it's someone else's fault.

Color is now associated with the entitlement of innocence.

This is the epitome of demonic racism, just as the Nazis claimed for their genocide of the Jews (and others), or the Mohammedans claim for their terrorist murders of non-Mohammedans (and even fellow Mohammedans).

And it is this racism that is promoted by Racist-in-Chief "If I had a son..." Traitorobama.

What makes it more egregious is that BLACK MEN make up less than 7% of the overall population yet commit more than half of ALL murders.

You’ve also got to realize that it’s a small portion of that 7% committing those murders. Not every black man is a murderer.

That goes without saying. Of course ALL black men are not murderers. Be it as it may, the statistics is right off the charts.
