The Zimmerman Trial

RonPaulMall said:
And what do you think race riots would mean for his page views and attention, not to mention the political agenda his tabloid pushes for? The establishment left wants riots. It is good for their politics. It is good for their page views. And it is good for their bottom line. It's not like Adam Weinstein and his ilk live anywhere near the communities that are going to go up in flames. They live in the little walled communities or heavily policed urban havens of gentrified bliss they built to ensure neither they nor their families ever have to rub elbows with the Trayvon Martin's of the world, not to mention the angry mobs they are gleefully cheering on.

The only people I've seen pushing for race riots are the ones fear-mongering that it's inevitable and bound to happen. People talking about how they're preparing their guns to shoot would-be rioters. These people are the ones who may truly want to see a race riot, as far as I'm concerned. Sure, Weinstein may benefit or may even want to see it happen, but his post in no way suggested to me that he was hoping for a riot. I don't know the guy, nor have I ever looked into him. I have, however, seen a lot of "conservative" websites pushing the race riot meme. I don't even have to look past our very own RPF to see people pushing that story with sensationalist articles.

That's not to say there won't be "outrage" and isolated incidents. People are emotionally vested in this trial on all sides, so anger is expected. People are allowed to peacefully protest, right? Those who don't will get what they deserve. I see no problem with people protesting the verdict.

It's not just a LOL LIBRUL thing. Both sides have said things to promote the idea of a race riot, but I've really only seen the fear-mongering coming from right-leaning sites.

Not sure if this has been posted already. I haven't read through all the comments. I don't particularly have any interest in this case, but I came across this video last light and it drove me crazy. To me it's obvious somebody got to this Judge. Watch the video to witness her staggering lack of professionalism.


Such a brazen attempt at poisoning the well...

Don West got on her nerves quite often, so she's probably had enough of it. I don't think anyone got to her. Occam's Razor.

What matters more is if someone gets to the jury. I am not saying Zimmerman is nice guy or a bad guy, but there isn't enough evidence presented for me to say he is guilty of murder or manslaughter. The jury has no choice but to say not guilty with the evidence presented no matter how they personally feel about it unless they ignore the law.
 
Something that has just occured to me is if the police had arrived before Trayvon got shot is that he would have pronably have ran and the cops would have probably shot him as he ran and there probably would have not been any investigation at all.

Never seen anything like that before. The judge is basically forcing GZ to swear under oath what he will do for the rest of the trial! Uh yeah, Im sure the prosecution would love to know what their plan is. Jeez. This judge has come off as an ass during this trial. I'm sure she's been leaned on by DC but I think she's also just ready for it to be over.

Yep, shot in the back and it would be swept under the rug. Here there is no doubt he was shot in the chest from an angle that suggests Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman just like he said he was.
 
I have a question for those that think Zimmerman is guilty. Do you believe in concealed carry laws? If the answer is yes what would you consider a justifiable shooting?

Well... I guess it really depends. It depends on what the media tells me to think, and how I'm feeling that day. Its hard to justify the killing of a 12 year old back boy, who was just buying some candy, and walking home. Especially when the killer spitefully called him a FKING PUNK! If only guns were never invented, this tragedy would have never happened.


^^^ see that? That there is sarcasm. Just a little warning... My previous posts, which are not sarcastic, may give a better idea as to my thoughts on this case.

What does a juror do on the weekend? Do they just stay locked in their hotel room watching old movies or something?

How does deliberating even work? Is someone even there to explain laws and for them to ask questions?

I've never been on a jury.

There is a huge list of instructions (including the criteria for the various possible charges), and there are people there who will provide appropriate material for review if jurors ask for it. For instance, they may want a transcript, or a video, or one of the diagrams... these will be provided, along with food and drinks and other basics that the jurors cannot get for themselves since they are sequestered.

I know you're being sarcastic, my point is what good is a concealed carry law if you aren't allowed to shoot someone who's bashing your head against the sidewalk? Isn't that the point of carrying a concealed weapon?

And there would be the possibility that Zimmerman would have had his head split open and died that night.

A knife would be no less effective at that close a range.

Perhaps we should devolve to the stone age and give Zimmerman a rock.
