Maybe he'll be better on day two.

(2,791 posts)..and this man has made me sicker. From the knock-knock joke to his comment that George Zimmerman had a gun, and "thank God" he did.
Unfuckingbelievable.
Back to bed.

(61,662 posts)The fact that anybody defends Zimmerman is proof of the ugly racism still in this country. Zimmerman's defense is that it is good to kill an unarmed kid because "crime!"

Fuck all of them - Zimmerman murdered Trayvon Martin and I hope he gets a long sentence.

(17,599 posts)but this reminds me of the menendez brothers defense that they didn't shoot their parents head off but fired a gun in a certain direction.

(53,035 posts)Zimmerman's face is strangely fat -has he been eating non-stop, is he on cortisone or does he have kidney problems?
Something's odd about his face

(269,067 posts)I mean this is an open and shut murder case playing out as a battle of the races.

(32,342 posts)There's a lot going on I don't have the watts to really dig into, but I think this trial is highly symbolic for the dying old guard white majority and they have a lot hinging on trying to make things go their way.

What is it with people on this site who can't acknowledge the facts? Facts are facts, people. Jesus.

hack89
(39,171 posts)that didn't show blood. The high resolution pictures taken by the cops at the scene show plenty of blood.

(7,244 posts)Can you prove that he didn't?
Or could it be that you're seeing and hearing what you want to see and hear?
What was that about facts again?

Bay Boy
(1,689 posts)...if the defense enters the pictures that show the injuries we saw up thread then it will be up to the prosecution to prove he did it to himself.

(2,434 posts)there was no blood or Zimmerman DNA on Trayvon Martin's hands or underneath his fingernails. His hands were not bruised. Odd, doncha think?
Nevernose
(13,081 posts)Facts are facts: a child was buying candy at the store. Zimmerman followed him in his truck for a while, driving slowly. When that child became frightened, he ran away. Zimmerman, a grown man, grabbed his gun and chased the boy into the rainy, darkening sky.
Those are all facts, not even facts in dispute by the defense.
And THAT'S when the murder occurred. The killing and Zimmerman's alleged bush whacking occurred later, but the murder train started rolling when Zimmerman began chasing an innocent kid.
Lint Head
(15,064 posts)of Arizona Juice was a weapon that Trayvon used to beat Zimmerman. The Defense attorney actually stated that the jury needed to take note that the can was full and that was needed to be understood because it would be relevant later in the trial.
