In the interest of social stability post-trial, it is important for


*everyone* to realize just how flimsy the murder evidence was.


Otherwise it will be viewed as just another lynching when Zimmerman is


acquited. The prosecution would have had much better chances with a


manslaughter charge in my opinion.




------------------------------------------




The lead investigator recommended a charge of manslaughter instead of


2nd degree murder. Technically the jury is not supposed to know that


and it can't be allowed as evidence in the trial.




Flipped MSNBC on briefly just as the Rev. Al's show was coming on.


"Breaking News" on his show's banner. What was the "breaking news"?


Zimmerman used the term "those guys" on more that one occasion during


the series of police interviews. As usual, the Rev. automatically jumps


to the race angle.




Zimmerman never referred to any specific race in all the interviews I've


heard or read so far. I took the "those guys" term as referencing the


group of people he claims have conducted burglaries and/or home


invasions in the area in the past.




The Rev. Al is capable of causing social unrest .... and *will*.












I heard that, too, and I assumed Zimmerman meant blacks by his "those


guys" comment. I still have not heard evidence as to why Zimmerman was


chasing down Martin. If Martin actually punched Zimmerman, perhaps


Martin was simply standing his ground after being stalked by a white guy


brandishing a firearm, and Zimmerman said to himself, "Screw this," and


shot the kid.




---------------------------------------




Who knows? I am not taking sides and don't have a clue if he's telling


the truth. I find the trial fascinating though.




But I find it interesting that you also automatically assume Zimmerman


was referring to blacks with his "those guys" comment. Why?


In all the interviews and written statements, he talks about break


ins/home invasions and never (to my knowledge) refers to blacks, whites,


Latinos, Asians or any specific race as being responsible. He refers to


them as "burglars". So, when he says "those guys", I take it as


being "those guys" that are committing the burglaries.




Funny how stereotypes are automatically assigned.




And sorry, but I don't think "Rev." Albert contributes anything to


social harmony or stability. To the contrary, he fuels hate and


distrust. It's what he does for a living.












Al is pretty mild compared to any number of Republicans who hold

national political office. You know, Cruz, Gomert, and about half the

GOP members of the US House and US Senate.


Yessir Krausie. Absolutely. No doubt, Harry Krause!

By the way, have you made any headway in paying down your tax liens. Your two bankruptcies did not discharge your tax debts, eh?
