Trayvon

I may have missed it, but were did the police have screw ups? Serious question? The only knock against the agency from either side that I saw, was not charging Zimmerman. And it appears they got that one right.

I will say though, Im fairly certain he was charged with a felony for saying "black" on a recording more than a few times and lying about it under oath. So I agree, he should have never seen facetime in this story.

Most of the time I see Furman on tv commentating, he's usually giving a Csi type of opinion about a case. The forensics and or situation of a crime scene, etc. Maybe in poor taste but I don't think one personal screwup makes him any less credible as far as knowing his shit in the field. Sure he's an ass, I agree. But he knows crime scene logistics. Was very good at it before the screwup in the OJ trial.

The CNN tool who said tray got killed for buying skittles should be fired.

The falcons received who said the jurors should commit suicide for letting a murderer go free should be fined, fired and castrated.

The entire MSNBC network should be burned and the ashes buried. If any hosts donated sperm or eggs those samples should be located and destroyed. Don't know what to do about their children but they need to be educated. Wait... Most of them are gay. No children. Ok. Burn away.

They didn't...thus, my bemusement at Fuhrman's involvement in the discussion.

Caught the last part of something Obama said. He was referring to the best way that we can honor Trayvon Martin.

Why ? Martin attacked someone, got killed for it. End of story. As a parent, I feel a slight empathy for his parents. But basically, I don't give a fuck about this kid. Apparently he wanted to be a gangster and he got what most gangsters do. Fuck him and the professionally offended who won't drop it.

Exactly.

I guess we all should mourn over the death of every Gang member that dies while trying to kill someone else.

That whole, "what would you do if that was your son would you think Zimmerman was guilty", defense...I would mourn the death of my son and I'd be mad that Zimmerman killed him, of course, but I would also realize that he put himself into this situation...the same situation that I would've warned him about if he continued to do what he'd been doing.

why? To overcome ones obvious racism. If you think that this verdict was just, then you are a racist. This was determined before the trial started.

The verdict was just...also, there shouldn't have even been a trial.

This case is fucking insane. The guy was found not guilty, which means what he did was reasonable under the law. Which means he did not have some premeditated plan to kill this kid. The FBI has narratives in some of their investigation stating that they interviewed over 20 people who said Zimmerman had never shown any racist tendencies prior to the shooting. But, the DOJ feels the need to investigate to see if this was based on race. Over 300,000 people have signed a petition at moveon.org urging the DOJ to file a civil rights case against Zimmerman.

There was no crime committed, but that's where this country is now. If you don't like that the police aren't charging somebody with a crime that you want them to be charged with, go nuts, raise hell, make petitions until they cave and do what you want. If you don't like the findings of a jury, go nuts, raise hell, and make petitions until they cave and do what you want.

Not to mention the fact that George Zimmerman and his wife mentored two black kids for a few years.

I like it. Should be a premise for a new Orwellian type novel. It's not a government run police state. It's not the SS.

It's the Popular Vote Police.
