The bulk of the pool was female. Had it been a jury of 12, it would likely have a man or two. Pick of the draw.

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.

A curious aspect of Liberal Mind Fog Disorder is that things which are consistent with their world view don't bother them. If an overt racist were to start shooting a bunch of black school kids for no reason, they'd want him to be punished, but if he were somehow acquitted the reaction wouldn't be nearly as severe as in this case, since they could simply chalk it up to his being protected by racist police force. The real problem in the GZ case is that while liberals might claim he was being protected from by racist police force, an acquittal would force them to face the truth: TM is dead because of his decision to attack GZ. The more strongly the evidence would point to that conclusion, the stronger the liberals' insistence that GZ must be convicted.

Juan Williams says that we have to allow for young black males with chips on their shoulders and excuse them when they attack people. Also, getting beat up isn’t a big deal.

Have a source link for that? Transcript or something? I'd LOVE to have it to throw in some peoples' faces :-)

I just went outside to clear my head a little. I’ve been taking yucky pain meds the doc gave me while recovering from surgery. I cut the dose in half but still seem not normal. Maybe that’s what made me think George is drugged ..cause I am!

At any rate I would be delighted to have him as a neighbor as well ..there’s an article (don’t remember where I read it) about the kindness he’s shown to some of the children in his neighborhood - in particular a little black boy-I remember it said he helped raise money for the boy’s church.

I’ve wondered how he sits there listening to the prosecution.

Gators and wild hogs will eat well, for a while anyway.

And gators that eat wild hogs eat high on the hog for the foreseeable future. Wild hogs are plentiful where I live...and the gators love 'em.

Yes but DID SHE CRY? People keep saying she did but earlier when I was on this thread and it was reported only by the AP it APPEARED that she wiped her eye. Yet no other court reporters mentioned it and one said that lady has wiped at her eyes a few times during testimony but she was not upset or crying.

A wild hog will eat anything, even black panthers.

I hope you are right. I don’t trust the Kenyan bag-o-crap and Fast and Furious dirt bag. Rule of law is gone.

Thanks for that info.

Can't help but wonder though, if you were Z's lawyer, with a jury of 6, how confident would you be that an acquittal was possible if you had one black (male or female) on the jury?

De-bunked by another journalist who said she had wiped her eyes frequently and wasn’t crying. Allergies?

I used to think Juan Williams was a decent human being. I think he’s a total disgrace now. I have watched his comments and he makes me sick. I now believe he’s as racist as a Nazi POS from 1939. The whole liberal establishment make me want to vomit, and if there are riots, may they get caught in the middle of it to reap what they sew.

Reports say one juror was crying during the prosecution’s final melodrama, they may be hung already.


That was probably why the evidence list was asked for and maybe even the items in question are being reviewed tonight before dinner.

you don't have a right to defend yourselves

The right to defend yourself comes from God and is inalienable. There isn't enough government owned judges or lawyers in all the land nor time on earth to prosecute all those who might exercise that right in troubled times. Which seems to be where this government is steering us, for whatever evil purpose.

If anything, this event should your strengthen our resolve to protect that God given right even more.

I’m thinking white folks might want to stay away from sidewalks . . . or anything made of concrete . . . for a few days.

I’ve been to four funerals of 2 small children and 2 infants in my lifetime. Not good. Not good at all. Never had anything level me like that.

“Pardon my ignorance, but what is the John Cage defense?”

Do a search on John Cage and his piece entitled, 4’33”.
