That’s for sure.
No, but I think she went "off-script" when she said he ran home to the Dad's girlfriend's house where he was staying, and then to the back yard and that Zimmerman followed and confronted him there.
“She’s the only one that can pull this off, because of the phone records.”
Wrap some tape around your head because it might just explode from this excerpt from her deposition with lead prosecutor Bernie De La Rionda:
BDLR: OK, and is that phone number under your name or under somebody else’s name?
Dee Dee: Now, it should be now under my name.
BDLR: And do you know what the provider is…is it T-Mobile? Or do you know?
Dee Dee: Yeah, T-Mobile…[mumbles]…I think.
It should “now” be under my name? She doesn’t know who she writes the check to every month? Excuse me?
This little tidbit is just one of many from the circumstances of the various interviews of “Dee Dee” that suggest that her testimony was created by Parks/Crump before she was the one auditioned and cast as the person to deliver it.
Do read the whole thing if you have the time. You will see that these guys knew that this whole thing stank out loud a year ago.
I forgot to note that BDLR, as usual, asked a leading question regarding the carrier. So far, we have seen phone records only from T-Mobile. Either BDLR made a good guess or this wasn’t the first time they had gone through this Q&A.
Wow.
We need “like” buttons on FR.
What are the chances it's an Obamaphone? As far as the chances of her writing a check (or anything else), it makes my head hurt to consider the probability of that happening.
following a suspicious person in and of itself is not being a vigilante. it is following a suspicious person. if he wanted to be a vigilante he wouldn’t have a habit of phoning the police about what to do or not do. besides if a guy on neighborhood watch can’t follow a suspicious person then we can’t have any neighborhood watches.
For all the right reasons. When schools were integrated, before the New Left used events to destroy the peaceful order that the schools had with fomented unrest (race rioting in schools, incited by communists), not only were the academic expectations for black children every bit the equal of those expectations for white children, but black children were expected by their teachers and often by their parents to excel in order to be respectable in the community at large.
The reason for that was indeed cultural, even societal in many areas, in that blacks often had to work to a higher standard in order to receive credit for their ability, in order to overcome a social inertia which had postulated they could sing and dance, and made reasonably good menial laborers, but which rarely gave credit for the doctors and scientists among blacks.
Such prejudices were seldom limited to racial parameters, we even see them today when snarky comments are made about political candidates graduating from a State College instead of an Ivy League University--the podunk State grad has to run rings around the person with the 'proper' degree to get the credit they deserve. The coastal urbane still look down their noses at flyover country.
Anyway, as racial unrest was incited in the newly integrated schools, at first there was resistance from the elders in the black community and school staff where I grew up. These people knew no good would come of this, after all, the children were at least as well positioned to take advantage of the means their parents saw as the ticket to prosperity: an education. That was the stated purpose of integration: to allegedly afford the same educational opportunities to blacks that whites had.
In typical Communist fashion, instead of bringing everyone up to the same level (and I'm not saying the black schools were not well staffed, many of the teachers were very good, by any standard), everyone was brought lower than before, to a new least common denominator, with the exception of a few schools where those in the local political power structure sent their children (before the flight to private schools).
Many of their parents had worked as field laborers, in kitchens, on the wharves unloading oysters, building piers, seawalls, roads, and houses, and knew the rigors of hard labor--and like anyone else, wanted better for their children. Better their children were doctors, lawyers, even secretaries, than scrubbing toilets and cutting tobacco (although the latter put many children through college).
But the New Left subverted that, they turned the High Schools which hadn't been gerrymandered out of being integrated into war zones. Those who had been raised to never refer to their darker skinned neighbors as "ni**er" learned the word when they were 'jumped', pummeled and mugged by groups of black youths and 'paybacks' went the other way. A fight that had little reason and no purpose quickly produced its own, and an era of unprecedented racial hostility was born.
Discipline fell apart as attorneys attacked school white staff who attempted to keep order as "prejudiced" against the blacks, and white students picked up the cry of 'we have equal rights, too'. Black teachers and staff were less than eager to punish white students because of possible racially based repercussions.
Order was lost, and with it, a generation.
Students who had achieved little were graduated to remove them from the ranks of the miscreants in the schools, if they were not hauled off in handcuffs by law enforcement.
Along the way, set-asides, quotas, "affirmative action" all moved the herd along, and entire neighborhoods changed to avoid the issue (essentially re-segregating the schools somewhat), but the goal of excellence in education was lost.
The Communists of the New Left prevailed, and for all their claims of 'looking out for their brothers', the damage done, the incredible setbacks continue, bringing the US closer to a race war than perhaps at any time in its history. Even the unrest of the '60s was limited to some areas, and often only the youths of that generation (The elders I knew wanted nothing to do with the growing unrest. One commented to a relative "We sent those folks home. They were down here trying to stir up trouble with our white folks, and we ain't never had no trouble with our white folks."
But now, with the exception of those who have not bought into the New Left victimhood anti-white (the man is holding you down) meme, the more pervasive attitude is one of 'the white man owes me'. The old guard, those elders who wanted better for their children, who saw hard work and educational excellence as the key to prosperity, is largely gone, at least so the media would have us believe. Unfortunately, the media would give the same perception to black people--that the gangsta lifestyle is the legitimate majority, and perhaps this has become a self-fulfilling prediction, enabled by the selective popularization/exploitation of "music" which glamorizes that fast track to cultural decay. That that decay has transcended cultural and racial barriers via popularization in the media, from movies to music and TV.
Are there angry black people out there? You betcha! Pull that on my culture (it's being done) and I'd be ticked off, too.
The real anger, though is being focused (by theNew Left's idealogical descendents, more communists) on the wrong people, naturally, as a means to hoodwink people who have been robbed of opportunity and prosperity by the very agents and agencies who claim to have their best interests at heart, but who only want to maintain control of a population by truly cutting off avenues to prosperity which might truly free that population, for their own personal prestige and profit.
Unless and until we all demand better, demand more, and rise to mutually defeat the destructive policies which continue to destroy the very fabric of Western Culture, the decay will continue. This begins at home with parents, parents who demand their children be better, learn more, excel, stay clean and sober, and morally straight, who will band together with other parents and other communities to demand better, not cheaper, not more funding, not more set-asides or mulligans but rigid standards which must be met.
Without this, there is a future full of lazy illiterates administering medical care to an aging population who can read the labels, and the collapse of the very civilization which relies on the very intelligence it eschews.
“My thought is in 4 years that disgusting pig is going to ...be living off my taxes.”
Not to worry. America will be broke well before then.
So?...Where do you think that we would be as a nation if there had **never** been compulsory state run K-12 schooling? Do you think that Americans ( the most generous people since the dawn of humanity) would have allowed this nation's children to go uneducated? Personally, I don't think so.
I have known people who only had an eighth grade education--but they got that in the 50s. Even a mediocre student of that day, at that level, could run rings around the average pupil of today in terms of composition, grammar, and mathematics. The standards were that much more rigorous, and it was done without a calculator, computer, or the internet.
They took those basic tools and often did quite well.
(some) Americans took the time to teach others, whether they were friends, relatives, or employees, and pass on what they knew. If nothing else, it made getting things done easier whether that be on the farm, an industrial workplace, or just around the home.
Thank you! I hadn’t heard that before. I’ve done some searching, and have seen only one reference to “creepy ass cracka” being sexual in nature...from Ann Althouse. Even the Urban Dictionary doesn’t have the sexual definition.
I think it’s questionable, and hope you can provide a link.
Thank you, again!

Sorry for the double post. I think gremlins have infested us, again. ;-)
The daughter of Haitian and Dominican immigrants, Jeantel’s first language was Creole. She later picked up English and has clearly become conversant in the language of urban Miami. But West continued to speak to her as if she were some outlandish extraterrestrial rather than a teenager. He asked her about the expressions used in “your culture,” as though teenagers of all races don’t have their own linguistic idiosyncrasies.
Obviously America needs more immigrants from Haiti and the Dominican Republic. They add so much to our culture.
I agree but we know it will never happen. I mean, people like her even get to vote more than once.
Okay...I read you all loud and clear, but a couple points.
The defense was jumping around high fiving that they’ve got the case one...I listen to the first prosecutors witnesses, and I’m thinking the same thing...THIS CASE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO TRIAL.
Surely the jury will acquit him, but the media and your Jesse Jackson’s and your Geraldo’s are saying that “the star witness stood firm!”
What all are saying is the truth. If you map out Zimmerman’s movement’s and MArtin’s it looks like Martin went home....then doubled back.
Secondly, how can any reasaonble thinking person listening to the eye witness who saw Martin hitting Zimmerman not come to the conclusion that Martin instigated this, and it was self defense. I think even Derchowitz said it should never have gone to trial.
The judge should stop the trial, because it is obvious at this point....but she won’t.
Any reasonable person, based on what we know is true...should come to the conclusion that:
1. Zimmerman acted in self defense
2. This should never have gone to any trial.
3. Some question about the prosecution being less that forthright.
However, because we have such a divided country, racially speaking, thanks to our coward in chief...this case is all about race....
Thank God, Zimmerman was not pure white, as there would be no way he’d get a fair trial.
your two points, i agree with you.
