RWNJs want riots and “race wars” so bad, they can taste the gunpowder.

What the Free Republic types want is for Fox “News” to have lots of video to watch of the wrong type of people getting shot and beaten. It’s what they live for, and Fox “News” is dying to give it to them.

And what does this “new” information have to do at all with Zimmerman killing him?

Today was a good day for the prosecution, but even on the worst days, I think this case can be won by comparing Zimmerman’s story to the actual facts, and the forensic details. Coupled with the witnesses’ details about the noises that lead up the attack, and forced many of them to call 911. There was a prolonged, couple minute long, “tussle,” that probably involved Zimmerman attempting to detain Martin.

I just don’t get how, once you have “your attacker’s” wrist in your hands, and then your gun firmly in your hands, you still feel like your going to die. In my head, you are now in control, not screaming even more desperately then ever for help.

That last cry before the gunshot is the worst thing about this trial. Over and over again. Hopefully the jury hears what I hear.

If an issue deals with a Person of Color, an atheist, a liberal/progressive/democrat, or an LGBT American, or other Americans they disapprove of, many on the right will always call for harsher punishments for the same offenses that some whites commit, and they tend to believe every conspiracy there is about these groups. This is why many republicans believe President Obama is a Muslim and a socialist but can’t even tell you what these words mean. IMO, there’s definitely a racial component to their support for Zimmerman. The question is would they still support Zimmerman if he had shot and killed their child as he/she was walking through a neighborhood on his/her way to someone’s house? Something tells me that their view of him would change drastically if their kid were involved. It all involves their determination of which of us is more valuable to others, and it’s obvious to me that they think that Trayvon’s death is no loss to our society or his parents.
