Except that he couldn't resist casting aspersions on the police for not doing a good investigation, even though he says he doesn't know all the facts. Yeah, we don't know the whole story, but it appears this was a cold blooded killing that police thoroughly bungled. The only reasonable comment for any leader at this point is, "We don't know all the facts. Let's wait until those facts are known before jumping to conclusions." If the leader has some sort of part in the ensuing investigation, they could probably add, "and I'll do everything in my power to see the truth come out and justice served." That's it.

“but it appears this was a cold blooded killing that police thoroughly bungled”

If this is how you see it then you’ve not been keeping up on the facts. Stop listening to the MSM on this and do a little reading into what happened. The evidence and the facts point to this shooting being a justified case of self defense.

Just read some of the threads here on FR and you’ll see what I mean.

it appears this was a cold blooded killing

A quibble: A killing that occurs in the course of a fistfight is by definition not "cold-blooded."

Working just from the facts that aren't seriously disputed, it's evident why the police didn't automatically arrest a veteran Neighborhood Watch captain who had already called for police back-up, and who had obviously been jumped and beaten. Especially when the dead guy the cops found was the real one—a gold-toothed, tattooed, 6-footer with hair on his upper lip and probably skinned knuckles—rather than the PhotoShopped 12-year-old whose picture has been promoted.

More facts are always nice. But as far as Zimmerman's actions go, only a political opportunist would conclude that the case is any more complicated than that Trayvon picked the wrong guy to punch.

What would be productive to explore is whether the recent rash of burglaries in the gated compound was actually the work of Trayvon. He had a contact there—his father's girlfriend—and he had been suspended from school three times, including for truancy. And he was caught at school, not just with a marajuana baggie, but with a screwdriver and women's jewelry. That suggests either a burglar or a poofter. I guess time will tell.

Yeah, I was disappointed with his comments. Your comment in the money.

Yup ... I suggest Cain go out here for the preliminary police reports. Perhaps some of his troubling questions would be answered.
