Mr. Crump couldn't beat a mouse through a maze racing for a piece of cheese. George Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder, not manslaughter, wasn't he? And these people still haven't heard what NBC news did to that audiotape? Plus, Trayvon had a can of watermelon juice, not iced tea.

Lots of quota babies in law.

Holder is one.

Obama is one.

And the combined ability in law of both is 5 on a scale of 0 to 100.

Clarance Thomas would clean their clocks in any real debate.

Since when is pounding somebody else's head into the pavement a "Civil Right"?

Even if he is a 'white Hispanic'?

Couldn’t find a compelling reason to justify smashing someone’s skull into mush on a sidewalk?

Sucker punching the neighborhood watch is a civil right?

Facts don't matter once the media have dubbed him a "white Hispanic".

Just as the facts don't matter that BO is at least 1/8th Arab and possibly as much as 3/8th now that they have anointed him a Black Messiah who has less in common with black descendants of slaves than the descendants of their former ancestor's owners.

Apparently so. It is right there next to the right to attack shopkeepers and cops without repercussion.

Regarding federal civil rights laws dealing with race issues, please beware of the following.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

With all due respect to Trayvon Martin and his family and supporters, and freedman issues aside, the only race-based right which the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect is voting rights as evidenced by the 15th Amendment.

In other words, any race-themed federal civil rights laws which do not deal with voting issues are constitutionally indefensible imo. Such laws were likely established by Constitution-ignoring lawmakers to win votes from low-information voters.

So perhaps Attorney General Eric Holder's inaction on this issue reflects awareness on his part of the federal government's constitutionally limited powers.

I’m afraid the morons were taken for a ride by an Attorney General who was never going to do anything more than use it to keep the slaves on the plantation.

The case largely centered on a debate over whether Zimmerman was defending himself although he was the one who confronted and pursued Martin against the advice of a 911 operator.

This article has more holes than a block of Swiss cheese...and repeating lies does not make them true.

Just like Mr. Obama, he's not a decedent of American slaves. Eric Himpton Holder, Jr. was born in the Bronx, New York, to parents with roots in Barbados.

1. ‘George Zimmerman (GZ) racially profiled Trayvon Martin (TM)’ There is no evidence of this.

2. ‘GZ disobeyed an order by the police’ * The civilian dispatcher, Sean Noffke, testified that he did not give GZ an order and, in fact, he, like his fellow dispatchers, are trained not make comments that sound like commands. * Noffke also testified under cross that, as a result of his asking GZ which way TM was going, GZ could have reasonably interpreted this as being asked to follow Martin. * It is also not a crime in Florida to disregard a comment made by a civilian dispatcher.

3. ‘GZ got out of his car’ Not a crime on public property and not negligent either.

4. ‘GZ followed TM’ Again, anyone can follow anyone on a public street unless the followee has obtained a restraining order against the follower and even there, the RS only places time, place, and manner restrictions on the person enjoined.

5. ‘GZ wasn’t really injured’ * Under Florida’s self-defense laws, one doesn’t have to be injured AT ALL to use deadly force * No one is required to refrain from defending himself while another is engaged in or attempting to commit a felony.

6. ‘TM is dead through no fault of his own’ * If you believe that TM assaulted GZ, then he IS dead as a result of his own actions.

7. ‘GZ could have left’ * Under Florida law, there is not a duty to withdraw rather than use deadly force * TM was straddling GZ so how the latter was supposed to leave the scene is unanswered.

8. ‘GZ was armed and TM wasn’t’ * One’s fists can be considered weapons and can result in severe bodily harm or death. * GZ was legally carrying a weapon * There is no requirement under the law that the same weapon be used by the assailant * A homeowner can kill an intruder whether or not he has been threatened * Those that attack cannot feign surprise if they are met with superior firepower.

9. ‘Stand Your Ground!’ * SYG is NOT at issue in this trial. * The defense is a classic self-defense case.

10. ‘Black men NEVER get to use SYG!’ * Wrong http://tinyurl.com/nboht35

11. ‘GZ is a man and TM was a boy!’ * As if ‘boys’ don’t commit murder, rape, and assault everyday in this country.

Humans are strange animals.

Some of us keep repeating a story even when we know it is not true, but the fairy tale we must believe to justify our own shortcomings.

With their last breath, such people will whine that their lives were no good because of 1)Whitey or 2)bad parents or 3)their ex or whoever they want to blame. It's extra special ugly when a whole group of people get together and feed each others' delusions.

Bottom line: Martin is dead and Zimmerman is alive. Zimmerman did what he had to do and the outcome speaks for itself.

Nice list, Vet.

The agenda-driven-cash-car must not be stopped; facts are irrelevant; stick it to the man.
