I have to deduce that Zimmerman will be found guilty. The Prosecution is phoning it in knowing full well the jury is going to find for the state.

I just cannot believe that the prosecution is this inept. Unless they are throwing the case in exchange for Zimmerman not suing and taking control of everyone’s homes, cars and personal belongings the court is going to award him.

But seriously, I am betting that for Christmas, Zimmerman is going to give the Koch brothers CNN.

Y’know, you’re making a real good point. This is how I’m reading it. I’m an attorney, and I’m looking at this and saying, these are mistakes SO big, they aren’t really mistakes. It just isn’t possible. Not even a 1L would be messing up this bad, this consistently. This is not law; this is messaging.

I would much rather “deal” with a gun at arms reach than a knife.

I'd rather just shoot them before they got that close.

Well, I don’t know if clients will be swarming Mr. Knock-knock joke. But the facts are so bad for the prosecution that Zim will likely survive that.

Mark Geragos claimed the prosecutors were throwing the case. I disagree - this is really all the case they have.

I am not so sure it is a question of being inept.

I think it is simply the case they have (not enough to prosecute--nothing to prosecute). The entire show has been about political pressure and more so, media pressure since O'bwanna said that boy could have been his son.

Look for a similar theme in the crucifixion of Paula Deen, after commenting the Moose ate like nothing she'd ever seen.

The MSM gets it's marching orders, and they're off to it.

I’m inclined to believe that charges were pressed to appease the left and the prosecutor is throwing this trial to ensure justice for GZ.

How do you distinguish between "throwing this trial" and "carrying on a prosecution with no evidence to support the charge"?

It may simply be a situation where they're trying their best but they just don't have the facts on their side. (As the saying goes, you just can't polish a turd.)

. . . guns are not of much use unless they are loaded and there is a round in the chamber.

A tagline waiting to be adopted, I'd say.

I hope they go away embarrassed, and then get mad at the people they gradually realize played them.

People I know in Tampa have armed themselves and prepared for this. People who NEVER would have owned a gun. I do believe the lesson of the Korean Shopkeepers will be repeated before arson and looting.

But I would far prefer this to just fizzle out.

As an added bonus, a big nothing would embarass the media further.

I would prefer a fizzle too, but if there must be blood, let it be the blood of rioting thugs.

Perhaps you could leave it at the house, if warning time allows, in a locked box, under a pile of bricks.

Do as you wish, but if I’m carrying on my person, I have a round in the chamber.

The last time I had a gun pulled on me, the perp was 10’ away. That doesn’t provide the ability for even Chuck Norris to grab the gun before it fires, nor is there time to rack one in (assuming no jam).

I don’t always carry, but when I do, there’s one in the pipe.

Yes, the hammerless one for me, too. I have one of those pocket holsters that has a sort of velveteen nap that sticks to the inside of my pocket whilst letting the gun slide out with ease. As long as my front pocket is big enough, the handle does not show and the gun does not print. People can tell I've got something in the pocket, but it looks no different than my other front pocket which houses wallet and keys. If things look dicey, I can have my hands in my pockets and be ready to draw immediately. I have only once drawn the gun, and that was to shoot a pit-bull that attacked my Corgi on a walk one evening.

I bought it for my wife, but she does not like the extra kick that this lightweight gun produces. She prefers our heavier old-style S&W with a hammer because it's a steadier firing platform.

It is that hollyweird bs thing where every time someone use a semi they rack the slide

But it looks and sounds so dramatic! I always have a round up and a full mag.
