1. Because I don't want to send huffpost any traffic, here is what he said on Fox and Friends:

Jul 2013
"I see those six ladies in the jury putting themselves on that rainy night, in that housing complex that has just been burglarized by three or four different groups of black youngsters from the adjacent community.

So it's a dark night, a 6-foot-2-inch hoodie-wearing stranger is in the immediate housing complex.

How would the ladies of that jury have reacted?

I submit that if they were armed, they would have shot and killed Trayvon Martin a lot sooner than George Zimmerman did.

This is self-defense."

I wonder why that it is other than that he is completely batshit off on his reading of the 'average' American lady.

There's zero proof Trayvon attacked Zimmerman.

Trayvon was not wearing gang clothes.

Trayvon was the one attacked by a stranger and that's why it wasn't self-defense.

Anyway, enjoy your stay at DU.

to see this thug abusing the citizenry. THIS is what our country boils down to - a shitty plutocracy where the cops are nothing more than thugs working for a few billionaires. Makes me sick to my stomach.

A hoodie is gang clothes. Jerry is never right. GZ wasn't attacked, he was the attacker. I'm sure the 6 women of jury feel real manly when they strap on their guns, and go out looking for someone to shoot.

And you're right, you should be able to protect yourself even if someone is wearing gang clothes, but in today's world, that gang wears blue and carry a badge.

This is pathetic and shows what I've always suspected. Geraldo is not too bright and a major league sellout.

When I lived at my last apartment, a complex that experienced a good number of burglaries, I can't tell you how many teens - especially non-white teens - I shot, especially on rainy nights (in California, that's practically every night October through February). Knock on my door selling magazines? Yeah, I know it's a scam so BLAM!! So much easier than not answering the door!



Now if it were Geraldo in my neighborhood, that's a different kettle of fish.

It seems the M$M is all about hiring people that are unqualified to pick up dog shit in the park. So they make perfect commentators on these daily dog shit shows.

that guy doesn't know shit about this jury, personally I think it's a good thing that it's a majority of women bc most likely they have either sons, nephews, or grandsons & hopefully will recognize that Treyvon was just a normal teenage boy. In this day & age the way he was dressed is a moot point. I really hate this stereotypical bs.

Disclaimer: if anything doesn't make sense it's due to me being highly medicated as a result of a kidney infection. I apologize in advance.
