The Zimmerman Trial

[Sava]

But your not a pussytwat...you only resemble one occasionally.

My not?

Props to the defense then. Leave it to a scumbag lawyer to take an obvious reality and add doubt.

The prosecution's withness, Rachel Jenteal, thinks Martin threw the first punch in concurrence with Zimmerman's side of the story.

[Sava]

I agree. The good here is that it has brought the issue of race to the national consciousness again. The reactions and polarizations are real proof that more needs to be done for there to be true equality in this country. Using this particular case was just stupid as the evidence does not support it being race based in any way. I am sure that there could have been much better cases for the media to grab hold of.

Still, if there is a silver lining, it is that discriminatory action is once again in the national spotlight.

Let's hope that this is the issue that stays in the focus. Our President has already strayed from the issue by calling SELF DEFENSE "GUN VIOLENCE". If it deteriorates into politicians trying to score political points for their pet projects then Trayvon will truly have died in vain. Only by keeping the focus on IMPROVING race relations can his death have any meaning...even if his death wasn't caused by race issues.

1. Stop being a reasonable person. It makes my "conservatism is evil" trolls less effective.

2. Shooting and killing someone is gun violence. "Self defense" just means it is okay.

3. With regards to self defense, ask yourself, "What would Jesus do?" He could have melted the Roman soldiers like the Ark of the Covenant did in Raiders of the Lost Ark. But did he? No. So anyone wanting to follow the example of Christ shouldn't kill... even in self defense.

But she isn't a credible witness because she looks like Jabba the Hutt. Apparently.

This isn't anything new, of course. Personally, I'm more upset by the fact that this story is as big as it is. And now we get that story Wiggy posted where some dip**** at politico is making the seemingly not-so-obvious point that the media basically blew this out of proportion. No ****ing ****! I'd only say to that writer, "You are the media! It's your fault! SO SHUT THE **** UP ALREADY"

The media is getting exactly what it wanted. Now its still in the news and they are making tons on it.

Well the joke is on them because whenever I turn on the TV, I always pause it and go do something else for a few minutes so I can skip all their bull**** commercials. Plus, the commercials are all for boner pills, mesothelioma lawyers, and vaginal meshes (WHATEVER THE **** THAT IS). Seriously. Don't they know that old people aren't the only ones watching cable news during the day?

And are there that many ****ing people with mesothelioma?

AND HOW THE **** DOES MY SPELLCHECK KNOW "MESOTHELIOMA" BUT NOT "SPELLCHECK".

Obvious? It seems likely, based on Jeantel's testimony, that Martin was close to his house, but decided to go back to confront Zimmerman - whose pursuit seemed to stop when the 9/11 operator told him that they don't need him outside.

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

I think we have already established Jabba the Hut is not a credible witness. If only Boba Fett were around to corroborate the story.

This seems inconsistent with Trayvon having used marijuana. Paranoia is going to make your ass run home faster, not turn around and fight whatever scary gay mexican drug cartel psychopath is chasing you.

Unless you have a very violent personality which apparently Trayvon did, since his girlfriend texted him saying "why are you always getting into fights" or something of that sort after he hung up.

[Berzerker]

If you believe in the capitalist system then this should be a no brainer. Who is more efficient, Walmart or a local mom & pop store?

walmart run by the dmv

[Wiglaf]

I love that the transgendered judge refused to allow evidence that trayvon loved MMA fighting because some rogue imposter may have stolen trayvon's phone and written about loving fighting in his name. After it was pointed out that this was illogical, the judge's penis fell off and she ran out of the courtroom:

[Wiglaf]

Good move by the defense though, getting all that on the record. No way a conviction would have stood up on appeal after the judge put on that shamfur dispray.

That's what Jeantel yelled at him on the phone: "Run your ass home" (or something like that)

Wal-mart, obviously. That's why it's not a mom and pop shop anymore.
