Why is no one opining on the Zimmerman manslaughter case?

    Or was it Second Degree Murder? Whatever.

    In Florida, George Zimmerman followed and subsequently shot to death Trayon Martin a year ago. That much should seems clear enough.

    Accordingly, he is scheduled to be tried before a jury of his peers who will determine whether he was justified in killing Martin. If not, he will be found not guilty and walk.

    One would expect that clairvoyance, prejudice, paranormal divination, and guesswork - or just a creative inclination toward imaginative scenarios - would compel a particular sort of person to obsess and propound considerable speculation concerning such a captivating case yet, inexplicably, there have been only about twenty threads begun in the past month in which folks take their stabs at jury second-guessing.

    (Why has no one mentioned that mysterious figure on the grassy knoll yet - or did I just miss it?)

    Surely, with the trial scheduled for June, the time for issuing presumptuous, spurious verdicts is now limited.

    Better rush to judgement whilst the mills of justice grind slowly. It must be all that conscientious, objective deliberation of all the facts presented that disposes juries to diddle daddle - either that or the handsome meal stipend.

    Still, no one is willing to usurp the jury's responsibility? Is no one willing to proclaim guilt or innocence based upon assorted news reports and subjective biases?

    Surely, someone must have powerful personal attitudes they can force themselves to vent before the proper judicial process is undertaken.

    There's enough evidence in the 911 calls to HANG Zimmerman. Including the wind noise into the mouthpiece of Z's cell phone proves that he continued in the same direction after being told not to by 911. You can hear Z's footsteps grinding into the gravel beneath his feet until he gets to the grassy area and pursues him around behind the apt building. Then the unmistakeable sound of Trayvon screaming for several seconds before the gun is fired. That's called "premeditation". ALL on the 911 recordings.

    Because nobody gives a rats ass about one loser murdering another loser and a whole police dept. and prosecutors office loaded with losers and a racist loser making a specticle of their loser asses. There will be no justice for anyone in this whole unfortunate mess.

    I have seen more threads and posts on this incident than I have seen on any other. The several mass killings hasn't gotten nearly as much attention as this. One of the hottest things going in Washington today, (immigration reform) has brought out little interest on these boards compared to this. Maybe someone can tell us what makes this such a big deal and why do the two political sides seem so divided as to the right and wrong of it.

    Zimmy is a hero of the conservative white race for capping-off a black-teen ... so you need to be asking yourself why Lapierre hasn't come to Zimmys' rescue.

    You may be onto why folks are so reluctant to proofer their very own personal verdicts in lieu of a duly-constituted jury, but I am resigning myself to await the real one unless there is a flurry of madcap, anticipatory second-guessing adjudications.

    The paltry score of recent threads sanctifying or demonizing the principals must be only the iceberg's tip.

    The Zimmerman family and the defense have gone to some trouble keeping this case before the public.. Changing judges, websites, public appearances with Hannity, Bill Maher and Piers Morgan. I think they believe the PR will keep donations coming.

    No he's not. The racist fear mongering of the MSNBC crowd is pathetic, and Lapeirre has nothing to do with any of this.

    Don't forget that MSNBC always makes a small disclaimer about Zimmys' lawsuit whenever they talk about the Zimmy murder case ... so MSNBC rarely talks about it.

    I do not care about any of them and absolute derision of all parties is all I can muster.

    Squinty LaP may be postponing his endorsement and financial backing until Mr Z is on the 2016 GOP Presidential ticket as a Turdblossom stratagem to entice Latino/TP votes.

    Floridas' Stand Your Ground Law is an NRA-lobbied law ... get over it.



    NRA dwarf Marrion Hammer beams in delight as Jebby-boy signs into law her Stand Your Ground Law.

    It is difficult to believe that an unarmed kid could go out on a routine errand, end up shot to death, and an apt, anticipatory comment while looking at the body would have been, "This could get very ugly."

    The young man was killed. Whether his killer was justified in taking his life is a matter for a jury. Neither Martin's family nor Zimmerman's would ever want to endure such an ordeal again.

    The scavengers picking at the tragedy to tout their personal agendas is unseemly, but I encourage them to get it all out. It's quite revealing.

    I certainly don't expect anyone to win.

    For once you're right about something. This is 100% about race. Virtually every Black who is capable of forming a sentient thought.......that would be about ******, believe George "STALKED THEN MURDERED" 'T' b/c 'T' was Black. That shows their astounding, but predictable incapacity to get beyond their own 'racism'. It's one of the things that is now and will for ever prevent the Black race from ever attaining anything like what all other races have in every field of human endeavor. But I digress.
    Virtually every White in the country who is closely watching this melodrama believes 'T' sucker punched George then proceeded to jump him and assault him and George, fearing for his life pulled his gun and shot 'T' in self defense.
    Hundreds of posts by about four members here screaming their collective heads off attempting to negate 'T's' attack on George and inventing all sorts of ludicrous explanations isn't doing a bit of good.
    The more desperate they become the more ludicrous their posts are. "George's 'cheap gun' recoiled and broke his nose. "There are two bullet holes in 'T's' clothing". There was no DNA from George found on 'T's' clothing". "George stumbled over a lawn sprinkler". George fell backward and hit his head on a tree". "George took his gun and smashed the back of his head to cause the injuries".
    These inane claims are only affirming that the 'T' supporters here are living in a fantasy world.
    Watch how fast they'll drop this obsession the minute after George walks. Sure there will be a few "yeah but" posts and maybe one poster will continue to put up all sorts of silliness but when no one can be bothered playing their little "I still have questions about far the keys were from the right hand side of the walkway" attention seeking game they will move on the the guy with no feet.

    Ive tried to stop speculating on guilt or innocense because evidence doesnt matter, lawyers do not matter, prosecutors do not matter, the victim doesnt matter. In the end the only thing that matters is the declaration handed to the judge of guilt or innoncense by the jury foreman
    Recently Casey Anthony was a slam dunk or shouldve been and OJ Simpson should have been. Our history is littered with not guilty verdicts on individuals that all the speculation had them on death row.
    We can all speculate on zimmerman and the evidence and the lack of evidence and anything else and it doesnt mean squat, till the jury tells us.

    Of course it does, it means months of witty repartee.

    Did you not get the memo?

    I see you almost spelled "innocence" as "nonsense." Having served on a jury, I believe the latter more accurately reflects the deliberations of the mostly biased peers.

    911 has no legal authority to tell him to not do something.

    Maybe he has!

    Maybe he is funding all the "social media propaganda" that O'Mara has now admitted he has put in place to influence public opinion. After all, I doubt if everyone of the Zimbots are doing all that spinning of Zimmerman's lies for free!

    And I think they may even be sending some "paralegal" help, in addition to the free "stormfront" gang!
