Let's just hope that the end result doesn't deteriorate into a Rodney King type situation. Are you referring to the four cops who beat the crap out of King being found not guilty of doing same or the riots that resulted from the miscarriage of justice? |
What a joke
I was thinking of the possibility of unrest if Zimmerman walks.

What a joke
In article
, says... So now the court is in a 15 minute break. The MSNBC crew are all excitedly discussing this "conflicting expert testimony" and about how the doc said Zimmerman only got hit a couple of times. You gotta be kidding me. http://newsone.com/2001237/trayvon-martin-zimmerman- guilty/ It's nearly all racial/ethnic. Blacks on TV universally cast the worst light on anything about Zimmerman. CNN black "analysts/commentators" do it too. Same with the rabid anti-gun whites. Some whites blindly support Zimmerman because he's white. "Normal" people who rely on the scales of justice being fair and impartial are disturbed that justice is being made a circus by the racists and other nut jobs. Not too much different than the OJ trial. Personally, I think both shooter and victim were punks. I'll go with the trial outcome. But I can't see any way in the world that "depraved mind" can be proved against Zimmerman - unless the jury is incompetent. And that wouldn't surprise me at all. They might find him guilty of manslaughter. I wouldn't, given the evidence I've seen. Seems clearly self-defense from all evidence I've heard. But the selected jury will decide. That's all that matters, barring appeals. |

What I am noticing big time is the presumption of guilt by some of the liberal media and their possible attempts to keep information that may conflict with their attitudes away from viewers. I confess, I haven't watched Fox News to see what their slant is, if any. Maybe I'll do that for a while and see if their coverage is equally biased the other way. There's also a lot of presumption of innocent by the conservatives, too. ----------------------------------------------------- You are *supposed* to be presumed innocent until found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. But, Harry. you're pronounced Zimmerman guilty from the world 'go'. No need for a trial. |
