Newt piling on along with Obama and Santorum. There is no need to get involved with this case except to say that we should allow our legal system to sort things out. The presumption of innocence is a pillar of our democracy. Let the facts and evidence decide the issue and not the court of public opinion. Newt should be decrying the rabble led by Sharpton who has a history of introducing race into such incidents.

Zimmerman was not on duty as part of his Neighborhood Watch duties, which should not be considered a "hobby," but rather, concerned citizens getting involved in protecting their property and that of their neighbors. Why does Newt consider it to be "dangerous?"

Chasing down criminals on the street isn't like playing tiddly winks.

James Woods in "The Hard Way":

"You’re not gonna learn what it means to be a cop by eating hot dogs and picking your teeth and asking stupid questions. We live this job. It’s something we are, not something we do! Every time a cop walks up to a car and has to give a speeding ticket, he knows he may have to kill someone...or be killed himself. That’s not something you step into by strapping on a rubber gun and riding around all day. You get to go back to your million dollar beach house and your bimbos and your b*** j*** and you get 17 takes to get it right. We get one take. It lasts our whole lives. We mess it up...and we’re dead."

Not surprised at Obama mouthing off before all the facts are known.

Remember the beer summit?

But a little surprised at Santorum and Newt failing to keep their mouths shut when it would have been appropriate to do so.

Nobody knows all the facts yet and that’s all they needed to say.
