File your case and watch as the Democrats loose their new Negro (Mexican American) voters. It won’t be Nero that will force you out. It will be the Democrat Members of Congress knowing full well it could be a decider in the upcoming 14 election cycle.

I have been convinced for a while now; this entire administration is so clad in an incompetent group think bubble of oblivion, they have no real grasp of the American citizenry sentiments. They are insulated by the media, staffers, consultants, etc. Obama appointed a specific character type in every position. Each of them staffed their positions with like minded individuals. We now exist in a country run by activists. From the courts through Congress and the Executive Branch, activism is pushing aside legal restrictions to push agendas. The bureaucratic firestorm is now feeding itself outside of common sense interpretation of the law.

We have deteriorated past a nation of laws and blind justice. Mob mentality is in full affect at all federal levels regardless of actual civil rights and Constitutional limitations.

Agreed!! They manipulated the situation to get the trial that wasn't warranted. Now they got the verdict they didn't want.

The media desperately tried to convict Zimmerman in the court of public opinion.

The feds are going to try to nail him on something, anything, everything..

The president declared that Zimmerman's victim was "Just like his son". The best he can do now is plead that we honor the memory of trayvon martin by not crapping in our own cereal bowls and burning our cities down. Why the hell didn't he celebrate the triumph of the justice system?

I am the last here to admit, seeing this, that the sun has set on the America I know.

Good men cannot standby and watch this kangaroo court. Zimmerman is being lynched. We are supposed to have a government of the people, not a government that will get the people no matter what. Are good men again going to stand by and do nothing?

Well, yeah. “He didn’t commit a crime” is (or, rather, should be) a pretty big hurdle in the DOJ’s possible prosecution.

"In 2007 Sharpton said he would have taken the case the same as he would today, with the only difference being that he would not have made it so personal against Pagones. He said that he still felt Brawley had a good case to go to trial. "I disagreed with the grand jury on Brawley," said Sharpton in an interview. "I believed there was enough evidence to go to trial. Grand jury said there wasn't. Okay, fine. Do I have a right to disagree with the grand jury? Many Americans believe O.J. Simpson was guilty. A jury said he wasn't. So I have as much right to question a jury as they do. Does it make somebody a racist? No! They just disagreed with the jury. So did I."

Double-Talking-Head. Own It.

If tyrants run into obstacles in persecution some innocent but unpopular guy, it’s it flackism to describe them as “hurdles”, like the wooden things that honest track athletes have to jump over? Shouldn’t they be called something less loaded like “safeguards”?

One thing both the left and right agree upon. The U.S. justice system is a shambles that is corrupted and broken beyond repair and that it needs to be completely eliminated. NOBODY has any faith in it.

“Please, please, please...let me on the jury for this...please!”

Sorry, the only ones that will be chosen for that “jury pool” will be ones that have been vetted after going over NSA records. Zimmerman haters will be the only ones sitting in the room.

If Zimmerman had been declared guilty, the right would not have accepted it anymore than the left has accepted the innocent verdict. The “greatest justice system in the world” is the laughingstock of the world.

Mmmmm....speaking of skittles................

FReeper Highest Authority wrote: The Ariona Watermelon Tea and skittles that Trayvon bought at the convenience store right before he encountered Zimmerman is two parts of a Southern ghetto high called “DANK” or “LEAN”....and Purple Drank.

All he needed to complete the mix was Robitussin ---a common cough syrup, which was probably in a medicine cabinet.

So when his daddy would not give "the child" the 20 bucks for a coupla joints---he decided to get high w/ this formula.

Amazing how "the child" knew this.

Street-wise Trayvon has been know to talk about "purple drank" both on social media and in school.

He was suspended not only for assaulting his bus driver but also for his drug use.

Side effects of the usage of "lean" includes aggressive behavior.....helps to understand why this rabid "child" attacked his bus driver and WAITED FOUR FULL MINUTES TO attack George Zimmerman.

=============================================

Trayvon's record will have no effect on the civil rights case (/snix).

SOURCE http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2120504/Trayvon-Martin-case-He-suspended-times-caught-burglary-tool.html

Suspended from school three times:

<><> •He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue

<><> •Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry

<><> •Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

The buzz is his brother tweeted that he attacked the bus driver.

We would have been angry because Zimmerman was clearly railroaded, and we would have been supporting his appeals. Then again we know the facts of the case.

Btw who is “the right”. Are you not a member here and a part of the right?

“There’s been an acquittal. The evidence has not changed. It’s not like the feds are going to go in and find more evidence”

There’s plenty more evidence. Trayvon’s texts, Trayvon’s photos, Trayvon’s school records...

FYI, the DOJ's site (http://doj.gov) is down ...

Methinks our "Feral Government"(TM) is not done yet, and will use the Zimmerman case as a broad based attack on "Stand Your Ground Laws".

I learned about Purple Drank a couple years ago when I purchased a bottle of cough syrup at Target and they scanned my drivers license. It piqued my curiosity so I went home and Googled it.

They’ll have no trouble finding someone to lie ... of course the liar then would not be able to read “their” allegation that they submitted in cursive so their testimony would have to be thrown out.

But - it should be enough to advance the cause and that’s what really counts - the seriousness of the charge rather than the nature of the evidence.

No fair! You can't trademark that, I used it once on Twitter a while back. :)

But it is very good isn't it.
