Since Obama has stirred the racial grievance pot, it would be a damn shame if his voters got caught in the middle of this.

I don’t think there will be riots. Just a lot of random acts, sucker punches, teeth getting knocked out, with comments like “That’s for Trayvon.” The Martin Family is after money now. Payday in civil court.

Opposite for me . Mixed group watching. Verdict rendered . Black co-workers immediately said “ He’s guilty as hell, and got away with it”

Perhaps the difference is explained here.

In the minds of the angry Black community (which does not contain all Blacks...only those who hate America and Whitey), GZ is a cracka (a creepy-@ssed one for that matter) and nothing he can do or say (or his attorneys on his behalf) can change that.

He is guilty from the womb.

He is not permitted to defend himself against a Black punk because Black punks are aggrieved angels in the minds of their mothers and fathers, brothers and friends.

It doesn't matter that GZ has never done anything to hurt them...they have been taught that they are aggrieved and have been put upon by all Honkies and as such they are entitled to retribution...they are entitled to righteous hatred.

This is not a crevasse that, I have learned since Obama came on the scene, can ever be bridged. This is not a hatred that can be extinguished.

This is not a matter of race. This is a matter of culture...a culture which (irreversibly) has developed and embraces a hatred for their fellow citizens and the Judeo/Christian culture of America (and soon all the other cultures alien to Africa and Marxism/Socialism).

This hatred is irrational, feral, and demonic. But it is here among us...and our President is the one most visibly and notably advancing its army and feeding its white hot hatred.

This will not end well, because, just as with Islam, there is no negotiation with those who hate us. They want only war and our death.

The content of the composition is not "four minutes and 33 seconds of silence," as is sometimes assumed, but rather the sounds of the environment heard by the audience during performance.

I recall reading somewhere that an artist included a minute-long "tribute to John Cage" on one of his CDs, and the Cage estate demanded royalties. I would think the above quote should suffice to dismiss such claim (since the CD lacked the ambient sounds in question), but my recollection is that the artist claimed that Cage's work was "analog silence" while his was "digital silence".

Yes it was afterward. I did not attend so I can’t say but I suspect it was overtly racial and the jurors had been drinking heavily. That’s why I didn’t go. I didn’t drink and needed to be at work the next day because my employer was going to fire me for being absent for several weeks.

When I was confronted I spoke with Judge Scalia and he...well he ripped my employer a big one!

Amazing, just like the OJ trial - all minorities. Sounds bad for Zimmerman, no? Where did you hear that? There are 5 white women and one Hispanic woman.

Also means not already convinced not guilty unfortunately.

Not necessarily. Much as many people might like the jury to have come back after 5 minutes of deliberation with a unanimous "What the [bleep] was the prosecution thinking--no way this guy's guilty of anything", it's entirely possible that all of the jurors know the guy is innocent but can sense that it would be better to create the appearance of having deliberated to reach that determination.

I was thinking of Henry Fonda and “Twelve Angry Men.” My favorite version although others were made.

Maybe you’re thinking of Tracey’s “Inherit the Wind” or Judgment at Nuremberg”? And he’s one of my favorites as is “Bad Day at Black Rock.” : )

Why can’t technology work consistently when it is a priority?

Happens so often....we live in a high tech world that is very fragile.

Hardly as fragile as you think. I can't even imagine the load being place on the servers streaming this. Most sites aren't scaled up for these huge one-off events. Best way to describe it is something like this... The pipe that carries water to your house is about an inch or so in diameter. That generally works for your daily needs. Now, lets say you want to fill the pool in your back yard. Well, that's going to take a while but it will eventually fill up. Now, imagine that every resident in the town  trying todo the same thing at the same time. Think that might cause issues with your ability to fill your pool? Think it might also cause issues with the water supply to whatever size tank your city has? The pipes coming out of your water tower are only so large, generally the size being a decision made concerning cost, and estimated peak use. Building an entire infrastructure to handle 10 times the peak anticipated load is expensive, both in capital and infrastucture. The internet is pretty much built the same way.

Yes, it's frustrating to not be able to have everybody streaming the same thing at once, but it's just a matter of limitations of available capacity. Most of the time the internet has plenty of capacity in most areas, but when demand surges beyond what the infrastructure was planned and designed for, you see issues.

What do you make of the woman juror appearing to cry when Guy was talking about Trayvon?

If they had a verdict why wouldn’t they just deliver it tonight and go home?
i think they’re just used to ending their day around 6PM, and they’ve had a long day.

What are the chances this judge gets a Federal promotion if there is a conviction.

Yea, Jebbie Bush can go to Washington and sponsor her nomination! George P. can come along forn the publicity.

Interesting, I had not heard that before.

Does MOM owe royalties to the Cage estate for the 4 minutes of analog silence during his closing today?

I agree, and it gets so old seeing the angry Black community (which does not contain all Blacks...only those who hate America and Whitey) protesting for every possible injustice against Black.

How about the Duke case? FALSE but lots of protesters
How about Tawnley? False, but lots of protesters

It’s the big irony that these guys are wishing for, hoping for, and looking for real injustices to happen to them as much as Al Gore is hoping that the world is indeed warming up.

They may have lost someone recently.

I do cemetery restoration work. When I find a child's stone, it brings me to my knees.
