Trayvon

[AUChizad]

Also, in the WTF department:

Martin's friend, whom he was on the phone with during the incident, testified that she knew it was racial because Trayvon told her that a "creepy ass cracker" was following him. But that creepy ass cracker wasn't a racial term, it was just slang. Obviously, this means Zimmerman, a hispanic by the way, was racist.

Zimmerman is only half crazy ass cracker.  One of his parents is white.  That makes it ok.

That star witness also is selectively illerate.  Asked today to read to the court a letter she supposedly "wrote", she declined, saying she can't read cursive...



The other star witness, the hysterical neighbor, claimed to have heard multiple gunshots.  There was one shot fired.

The DA is in a world of shit.

His white side is racist.

Think what you will but Dick Cheney getting Martin's heart could become controversial.

Hence, why they didn't want to bring the case in the first place.  This is a prime example of letting others push you into a situation you don't want to be in.

Just a wondering thought, I wonder that it may have been done that way knowing that can't win but to appease the folks who look at the world through color. Hoping that time will let some people calm down and not have the energy to burn Florida to the ground.

If I was the Gov. I'd have the National Guard on alert when they announce that they are coming back with a verdict.

My goodness, they destroyed the star witness.   

And they will absolutely call her back.

rayvon confronted him and started beating his ass. I don't think that's 100% justified, but I don't think it's unreasonable either when Barney Fife is calling the cops on you and pursuing you (counter to the police's instructions). Zimmerman acted in self defense, which may or may not have been overzealous (which I suppose is the piece that's left for the courts to decide) and shot Trayvon, killing him.

Funny. I never heard that he spoke with ANYONE from the police on his 911 call.

And I believe if you look back in this thread, JR nailed this one dead on in regards to that. Same thing with the Casey Anthony DA doing the same thing on the overcharging.

Apparently cracker is ok to say. And kill.

N word once? Fired. Life ruined.

Shh, y'all stop saying "n word" so much.  I hear that if you say it three times in a mirror, the NAACP will sue you out of cracker house and home.

A female officer testified in the Martin-Zimmerman trial.  She indicated in her testimony that she served in the Army for three years.  This female officer looks like she is around the age of 30-40.

Yet while on the stand, she was wearing a WWII Army of Occupation Medal and the Defense Distinguished Service Medal:





As it turns out, the Sanford Police Department "does not have their own awards system."  So they bought the medals at an Army-Navy store.

I think what they meant to say is that they have an awards system, but they don't have any custom regalia for it.

Either way, weird.



http://www.guns.com/2013/07/03/officer-who-took-the-stand-in-zimmerman-trial-wore-questionable-ribbons-including-one-from-wwii/

While watching the Martin-Zimmerman trial this week, combat veteran and Navy Cross recipient, Jeremiah Workman noticed a particularly disturbing decoration on Doris Singleton’s Sanford Police Department uniform when she took the stand. Singleton’s uniform had two ribbons — the World War II Army of Occupation Medal and the Defense Distinguished Service Medal – which Workman knew could not belong to someone who had only served in the Army for three years.

. . .

Workman, a former Marine who fought in the second battle of Fallujah, posted a picture of the woman on Facebook with the caption, “Am I going blind or is this police officer in the Zimmerman-Martin trial wearing ribbons that she doesn’t rate? I see a WW II army occupation medal and a Defense Distinguished service medal. Wow! On the stand she was asked about her military career. She said army for 3 years. So she received in three years what a 4 star general receives after forty years of service. Wow. What a superb 3 year army career!”

Gina Harkins, who writes for The Military Times, saw the post and contacted Workman, who had already talked with the Sanford Police Department by telephone. He told Harkins that according to the conversation he had with a Sanford PD official, since the department doesn’t have their own awards system, they simply went to the Army-Navy store and picked out Defense Department military ribbons. The official also stated that they intentionally chose World War II ribbons because there are not many veterans still alive from that era and they did not think anyone would notice.

I'm gonna say Self Defense.

Toxicology report allowed. Trayvon had traces of marijuana in his system.  Police officers did not take a tox report on Zimmerman on the night of the shooting.  I really thought coming in, the jury would convict.  But damn does the State have a shitty case for murder.

Now we know Zimmerman is guilty.  Nobody who's high and in possession of some tea and Skittles is going to be aggressive toward anyone else.

Unless Zimmerman had Reese's Pieces.  Then it was probably self defense.

I was thinking the same thing.

The uninformed (I'm picturing my mom) will take that as "He was on drugs! Those make you all kooky like that guy that ate that homeless man's face off!!!".

The reality is that if anything at all can be deduced from him having marijuana in his system, it is that he is actually less likely to be an aggressor or confrontational. Completely the opposite effect that alcohol, for example, would have.

To be fair, marijuana can also make a person paranoid, and people respond to paranoia in different ways.

Yep.  And hasn't it been speculated that he bought skittles and watermelon flavored tea to make purple drank?

Yes, it's been speculated, but those speculations are racist.
