Great!  So now Z is a White-Black-Hispanic.   

I am loving this!  I know, especially within the last 3 years, we've heard the phrase "You can't make this stuff up", but this case is just so amazing.  I don't ever want it to end.  I know it sounds selfish and I do feel for the kids parents, but this case is finally showing the true hatred and racism that is at the forefront of the Left agenda.  From the liberal press and media, to the liberal popular opinion cowtowing courts, all the way up to the liberal in cheif.  You just can't make this stuff up.

If this is accurate, karma would dictate MSNBC's bankruptcy and a safe falling on Al Sharpton's head. And all those who "expertly" condemned Zimmerman as a rash, reckless, trigger happy, racist, vigilante, should rightfully feel thoroughly chagrined. 

Given the same set of circumstances many reasonable people could find themselves in Zimmerman's place.

Isn't it ironic how the Trayvon shooting / Zimmerman case got so much press yet most of us never heard of the Newsome & Christian murders?

Thanks for the article it kinda sheds some light on the subject away from the hype of the media blitz used to create a backdrop of lies and support for a position. After reading the article I am more inclined to believe that although Zimmerman was wrong in the confrontation to bring a gun into the battle I do understand the desperation of trying to keep a neighborhood from turning into a place where no one wants to live. I think it was a series of  mistakes that led to this outcome. I would be more inclined to send some money to help Zimmerman, he tried to do with a gun what should have been done with a camera. Media needs to vilianize anyone in its targets I think he needed training and a understanging of the emotional side but had good intentions just didn't know how to act on them.
  I think he was gripped like us all of seeing the system played by those in the know while watching a place he loved turned into a battle ground, standing helplessly by.
   In our legal system I have been amazed at the lies that are used everyday. Your guilt or innocence can depend on the first few minutes you are questioned by the responding officer. The lie rolls so immediately off the tongue of most arrested that it takes the investigation to truly establish what has happened. If arrested I would be inclined like some to tell the truth but when hearing most that have been arrested saying is so far off the truth that I wonder how in such a short time they can conjure up a story. The creativity if used in life in a constructive way could be amazing. Another way to play the system, I feel for the officers on the front line.

I have always been taught (if arrested) to say absolutely nothing.  I have never been arrested, but I have always found it difficult to say absolutely nothing.  I hope I never get arrested!

I know and agree you are supposed to say nothing that is true but when arrested it is small court room right there. The arresting officer has the power to make a decision in your life and that will influence any outcome that may arise out of this encounter. We see it even in accident reports how people don't tell the truth and of course there is no investigation just a decision based on he said she said. This is where the lie comes into play.
