That was an interesting article. It sounds like that area was bound to have a violent confrontation at some point. Stealing off a porch, then home burglaries, then with people home sounds like things had continued to escalate.

Maybe the MSM should have done their homework before pronouncing Zimmerman guilty and inflaming the mobs.
Hell, every time they refer to MAJ Hassan, they refer to him as the alleged shooter.
Given the number of eye witnesses and the fact that Hassan was shot while firing at the cops with the murder weapon, I don't think there is really that much doubt there, though I suppose he could claim an evil twin defense.

If the press educated the populace to the fact that Zimmerman's nearly as black as Obama, that might slake the Tutsi/Hutu thirst for blood, right?

Sad circumstance.
The background would indicate that neither Zimmerman nor Martin had quite the right mindset or judgement for the circumstance.
Just an observation, not trying to convict or acquit.
That is too often the case.
People who possess the right mindset and judgement to handle such a difficult circumstance also possess the mindset and judgement to avoid the difficult circumstance in the first place.
There is no way to write a law which will address all contingencies.
Many points well made here.
Can't help but notice that the article ended with an air of "well he started out OK, but see, he was "troubled" and therefore ready to take the law into his own hands...."
I don't think I have enough information to form any sort of valid opinion, but I did find this interesting:

George Zimmerman, charged in the shooting death of a 17-year-old Florida boy, is suing NBC Universal for using "the oldest form of yellow journalism" by editing an audio tape of his 911 call to make him sound racist, the lawsuit says.

A very good juxtaposition TR! This deluge of misinformation/disinformation from MSM is very, very troubling :mad: The cynical bastard in me thinks that we are under attack from a well thought out PSYOPs - racial and class warfare. It has all the hallmarks. The, perhaps, naive optimist in me thinks that it is all from misguided, but well-meaning, chuckle-heads on the left that have been left to their own devises by a leaderless and inept opposition. Hence my confusion :confused:

It doesn't help when POTUS claims, on national TV (NBC, I believe), that Trayvon could've been his son, too; as he holds up a photo from Trayvon's younger years.
Perhaps Zimmerman can sue the chosen one for similar cause.

Way out of bounds IMO.Almost as soon as he was inaugurated he got involved in that officer responding to an apparently burglary, with the professor who promptly hit speed-dial and got POTUS, the Cambridge guy that resulted in the "beer summit."
Before anything was in from anyone (other than his professor buddy) he made a very public statement,
"Clearly, the police acted stupidly...."
So when Trayvon came along he was, as Jimi would say, "experienced."

Judge Debra Nelson also rejected a request to lower Zimmerman's $1 million bond, and ordered that Zimmerman remain in Seminole County.
"He doesn't need to live under constraints that a previous court imposed," Zimmerman attorney Mark O'Mara said before the ruling. "This is not a person who has missed court appearances. He wants to be here. He's looking forward to an immunity hearing and a trial."

Defense seeks to undermine key witness in Trayvon Martin case
Rachel Jeantel, 19, told the court on Wednesday that shortly before he was fatally shot last year, Martin complained about a "creepy" man who seemed to be hunting him down as he walked back to the house where he was staying with his father in the central Florida town of Sanford.
Notice how they did not put in the full qiote "...creepy ass Cracka..." and used the term 'hunting him down' rather than the actual word used 'following'....

The point of the letter in the trial is that it was presented as a letter she wrote to Travon's mother. By admitting she couldn't read cursive means that she had to admit that she did not write the letter.

Not the point. She can't read the letter she says, under oath, she wrote.
The judge should bring contempt charges based on her testimony. And have all her disposition & testimony stricken from the record..
I would also look at contempt charges for the prosecution for presenting false and inflammatory evidence. They have effectively set up the bases for rioting across the US, if Zimmerman is acquitted.

I think we can all agree she's a moron and a perjurer. It's hilarious watching Nancy Grace and Jane Valasquez twisting her testimony into some smoking gun that's nailing Zimmerman. Bottom line, the state has no case and if the defense's JOA is denied it'll be a serious miscarriage of justice. Those tv shrews are basically saying "Zimmerman can't prove Trayvon snuck up and attacked him...therefore MURDER." Forget the whole burden of proof thing and that Zimm was questioned for hours by detectives familiar with the Reid Technique and with the usual lies at their disposal. Notwithstanding his interrogation, the State additionally decided not to charge him. They had to shlep in an ASA from Duval county to try this case not because of a venue change (the case is still in Seminole county) but because the local SAO thought the case is a steaming pile of feces.
I sincerely hope there's a JOA granted because I'm not sure I trust this jury. And the tv shrews doubling down after being wrong about Casey Anthony (same small FL county) means the members of the public susceptible to rioting are being convinced that anything short of a conviction is an injustice. But anyone who knows a lick of law agrees that the state can't meet the civil preponderance of evidence standard much less "the beyond and to the exclusion of each and every reasonable doubt."
My only problem is watching Don West screw up Mark O'Mara's case. Why is West not running the CXs and why did West do the opening with that insult knock-knock joke to the jury?

Hey, I'm not scared of rioters either. Maybe they'll cause 8 figures in economic damages but the death toll will be no more than double digits. We can survive that. The problem is it sets up more precedent.
And I don't know why you're defending the perjury clearly committed by Precious. She knew damn well what that letter said. It's not even a close call. Regardless, the state's witnesses are all great defense witnesses.
This was a clean shoot. Interestingly, the car burglaries in the neighborhood began 2 days after Trayvon was suspended from high school in Miami and they ended with his death. Weird coincidence.

I am beginning to think this prosecution was politically motivated:

"It looked like a tussle," Good said. "I could only see one person. At one point, I yelled out, 'What's going on? Stop it,' I believe.
Under questioning by De la Rionda, Good said one of the combatants was straddling a man lying face up on the pavement, and throwing punches. The testimony appeared to corroborate Zimmerman's claims that he shot the 17-year-old African-American with a legally registered gun in self defense, as he was being pummeled.
"I could tell that the person on the bottom had a lighter skin color," testified Good, who also said the person on the bottom appeared to be wearing "white or red," while the one on top wore dark clothing. Zimmerman identified that day as Hispanic and was wearing a red jacket. That also would corroborate Zimmerman's claims he was on the losing end of a violent confrontation when he fired the fatal shot.

Actually, he did it before. Remember the beer summit? Remember all the race mongering crap he was spouting about the cop?
One would think that this was the time for discrimination to end. The time for the race pimps to be put put of business. Instead, we have a POTUS that forgets he is half white (as well as the black community in general) and tries to base all his opinions on alleged discrimination against blacks.
lol The Flock is really fired up over this issue, and is doing it's best to intimidate illiberals. I saw a clip featuring some wino-looking guy on a megaphone shouting "No justice!" while a gaggle of carbon copies hollered "No peace!".
The crowd at the Open was 3 times as big as this goatcluster, but the msm videoed it to maximize the size.
Skeered? Nah. The object is to divert attention from Benghazi, IRS, TSA, NSA, Obamacare, Detroit, money-printing, data-mining, drones, cronyism and everything else that would have laid a Republican administration to waste years ago.
How can anybody with half a brain fall for this smokescreen? Trayvon was no "child"-he was old enough to kill the enemy for the Military. He drew first blood, and was ground-and-pounding Zimmerman. The law says Zimmerman had a right to use deadly force to defend himself, and he did.
Case closed, right? Not when it's politically expedient to potentialize the crisis, so-instead of backing up his jurists, Obama foments the discord, while pulling a rabbit out of his hat.
Should we stoop to their level and have pro-Zimmerman parades? Nah.
What we have to do, no choice in the matter, is vote out the instigators ASAP. A la next year.
Then, we have to expose the imminent election fraud and propagandizing by the media in time to have a fair election in 2016 and make sure these shenanigans are thwarted.

Bush signs Schiavo legislation
Carlos Barria / Reuters
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — The fate of Terri Schiavo once again was in the hands of a judge early Monday following an extraordinary, day-long political fight over the brain-damaged woman that consumed both chambers of Congress and prompted the president to rush back to the White House.
Taking the Senate’s lead, the House early Monday passed a bill to let the woman’s parents ask a federal judge to prolong Schiavo’s life by reinserting her feeding tube. President Bush signed the measure less than an hour later. An attorney for her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, later arrived at federal district court in Tampa and filed a request for an emergency injunction to keep their daughter fed. When the attorney, David Gibbs II, was asked if he had any indication when the judge would rule on the request, he said: “I have no way to know, just that it’s in the hands of the court.”
“I’m numb, I’m just totally numb. This whole thing, it’s hard to believe it,” Bob Schindler told reporters outside the hospice where his daughter entered her fourth day without food or water.
David Hall, of Fort Worth, Texas, right, protests Sunday outside the Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park, Fla., , where Terri Schiavo is a patient.
Schiavo’s husband, Michael Schiavo, said he was outraged that congressional leaders were intervening in the contentious right-to-die battle. He has battled for years with his wife’s parents over whether she should be permitted to die or kept alive through the feeding tube. “I think that the Congress has more important things to discuss,” he told CNN, calling the move political and criticizing House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who helped broker the congressional compromise.
Outside the hospice, a shout of joy when news of the House bill’s passage came. Among those cheering was David Bayly, 45, of Toledo, Ohio: “I’m overjoyed to see the vote and see Terri’s life extended by whatever amount God gives her.”
The 41-year-old woman’s feeding tube was removed Friday on a Florida judge’s order. Schiavo could linger for one or two weeks if the tube is not reinserted — as has happened twice before, once on a judge’s order and once after Gov. Jeb Bush passed “Terri’s Law,” which was later declared unconstitutional. George Felos, a lawyer for Michael Schiavo, did not return repeated phone messages seeking comment Monday. The voicemail box of George Greer, the Florida circuit judge who presides over the case, was full and didn’t accept messages. Terri Schiavo suffered brain damage in 1990 when her heart stopped briefly because of a chemical imbalance. She can breathe on her own, but has relied on the feeding tube to keep her alive.
Executive action Court-appointed doctors say she is in a persistent vegetative state with no hope of recovery. Her husband says she would not want to be kept alive in that condition, but her parents insist she could recover with treatment.
Bob Schindler visited his daughter late Sunday and said he noticed the effects of dehydration on her. He said she appeared to be getting tired, but eventually responded to his teasing by making a face at him. “It tells us she’s still with us,” he said.
Brian Schiavo, Michael’s brother, said he spent Sunday afternoon with his brother and Terri at the hospice, but Terri did not move or make any noises. “Anybody that thinks that she talks and responds, they need to have a mental health examination,” he said.
The bill passed in Congress applies only to Schiavo and would allow a federal court to review the case. The House passed the bill on a 203-58 vote early Monday after calling lawmakers back for an emergency Sunday session. The Senate approved the bill Sunday by voice vote.
Terri Schiavo's sister Suzanne Vitadamo, left, mother Mary Schindler, and Brother Hilery McGee of the Franciscan Brothers of Peace of St. Paul, Minn., address a crowd in Pinellas Park, Fla., on Saturday before visiting Terri, who had her feeding tube removed Friday.
“In cases like this one, where there are serious questions and substantial doubts, our society, our laws and our courts should have a presumption in favor of life,” President Bush said in a statement after signing the bill.

An indictment of our media an our "current" system.

Bill Whittle is one of the best thinkers of our time. He used to have a blog called Eject! Eject! Eject! and his essays were so very well thought out and intelligent. I'm glad he hopped over to PJTV and got a bit more publicity. His thinking needs to be shared.
His book, Silent America, is a collection of his blog posts and worth every penny. Even if some of the material is dated (it was published in '04 and covered current affairs), his way of thinking is worth studying.

Skeered? Nah. The object is to divert attention from Benghazi, IRS, TSA, NSA, Obamacare, Detroit, money-printing, data-mining, drones, cronyism and everything else that would have laid a Republican administration to waste years ago.
These, as of yesterday, are simply "distractions", meaning that the little people are trying to throw O off his game. :rolleyes: :mad:
Skeered? What we have to do, no choice in the matter, is vote out the instigators ASAP. A la next year.
or impeach The Incompetent One now. :munchin

Wow I just watched this, glad we have such individuals.
The thing that just causes my blood to boil about this whole thing is how the media has invented the phrases "self identifies as Hispanic" and "white Hispanic."
I don't know why that gets my goat more than any other aspect, but they should then say that our President "self identifies as black" and he's a "white black," because in truth, they are both half-white....

ABC's Misleading Edit of Juror B29

The media's misleading edits of statements connected to the Zimmerman trial continues. Now it seems to have extended to one of the jurors in the case.
Yesterday Breitbart News noted the ABC interview with Juror B29. The big news was that Maddy--her last name was never used to protect her privacy--had told Robin Roberts "George Zimmerman got away with murder." And indeed if you watch the Nightline edit of the interview she does seem to say that without hesitation or reservation.
However, William Saletan at Slate points out that the unedited interview seems to show something different. Maddy actually hesitates twice when answering Roberts' question which contains the statement "George Zimmerman got away with murder." As Saletan points out "she looks as though she’s trying to reconcile the sentiment that’s been quoted to her—that Zimmerman 'got away with murder'—with her own perspective. So she repeats the quote and adds words of her own, to convey what she thinks: that there’s a justice higher than the law, which Zimmerman will have to face "
I agree with Saletan's take on this. Maddy appears to be offering a response to a statement that was presented to her. You can see Maddy's unedited response in the clip below (Scroll in about 2 minutes).

I also read another interview where she said she knew on the second day of the trial, she knew he couldn't be found guilty of second degree murder. The ABC interview conveniently left that out. Ticks me off that this juror also said that if she could have voted with her heart, she knew he was guilty. If the evidence wasn't there, how can she say that? At least she did the right thing and voted for not guilty.

I can't swear that this has anything to do with it, but a few years ago, government data gathering requirements regarding race, sex, etc., for census data and the regulations that use census data for analysis, were expanded to allow for people to better identify themselves due to the mixing of races in our society.
If a person didn't "self-identify" the person doing the face to face interview would make note of that and fill in the info saying it was based on visual observation. So for instance, Tiger Woods could self-identify as a male who was Black, White, and Asian. If he had a Hispanic background, he would be all of the above of Hispanic origin. If he elected not to provide this info and the interviewer did not know his background, he would most likely be identified as Black, not of Hispanic origin.
