REMEMBER GEORGE ZIMMERMAN? YEAP, HE'S STILL A DICK

Major dickhead and murderer George Zimmerman is auctioning off the gun he says he used to shoot and kill 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012, Mediaite reported on Wednesday.

“I’m a free American,” Zimmerman said of his decision. “I can do what I like with my possessions.”

The online auction is set to begin on Thursday morning, a year to the day after he was injured in a dispute with Matthew Apperson, who Zimmerman described as being a Black Lives Matter “sympathizer.”

“I am proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds will be used to: fight BLM violence against Law Enforcement officers, ensure the demise of Angela Correy’s persecution career and Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric,” Zimmerman wrote on the auction website. “Now is your opportunity to own a piece of American History.”

He also described the gun as being operable, “attempts by the Department of Justice on behalf of B. Hussein Obama.

WHEN GOP INSTANT HEROES TURN INTO DIPSHITS

Last nights episode of HBO's Real Time - New Rules segment- slammed Republican role models gone awry.

“Republicans have to stop being surprised when their instant heroes turn out to be embarrassments,” Maher said. “They’re so anxious to buddy-up to the forgotten good people that when a Kim Davis or a ‘Joe the Plumber’ or a Cliven Bundy come along, they rush to say ‘Now here’s a real American’ when they should be saying ‘What’s up with this asshole?'”

Maher then specifically turned his attention to Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, the woman who has refused to comply with federal law and issue same-sex marriage licenses.

“Kim Davis turned out to be everything conservatives hate,” said Maher. “She gave birth to two children out of wedlock and she’s been married four times. According to her, the answer to ‘What would Jesus do?’ is ‘everybody.'”

Maher then recounted Cliven Bundy’s racist statements and George Zimmerman’s ongoing encounters with law enforcement, before setting his sights on Josh Duggar.

ZIMMERMAN ARRESTED AGAIN

NRA and Fox News poster boy and his collection of arrest mug shots. 

George Zimmerman, the notorious Florida defendant acquitted for shooting dead 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, was arrested Friday for assault and domestic violence. It’s at least the fourth time Zimmerman has been accused of violence since the Martin case ended in 2012.

Just this past September, a driver reported that Zimmerman threatened to kill him during a road rage incident, pulling up alongside him and allegedly saying, “Do you know who I am? I will fucking kill you.”

In November 2013, Zimmerman was arrested after his girlfriend Samantha Schiebe called 911 reporting that he pointed a shotgun at her and barricaded himself inside. Deputies moved furniture he had put up against the door to get to him. At the time of his arrest Zimmerman had five guns and 100 rounds of ammunition. But he got his guns back after Schiebe asked that prosecutors drop the charges.

Two months earlier, Zimmerman’s estranged wife also called 911 to report that Zimmerman was threatening her and her family.

In the most recent incident, Zimmerman was booked late Friday night on a charge of aggravated assault with a weapon, according to News 13 Orlando.

George Zimmerman has committed more crimes than Trayvon Martin yet Trayvon is considered a thug. It's only a matter of time before he kills someone else. Thanks Florida for unleashing this sociopath into the world.

EX-ZIMMERMAN LAWYERS SAYS REFORM IS IN ORDER

The lawyer whose client, George Zimmerman, first made Florida’s Stand Your Ground law famous has become a potential unlikely ally in calling for at least limited reform of the law.

Mark O’Mara said he plans to propose a rule limiting when juries would be instructed on the notorious self-defense law, which allows deadly force with no duty to retreat. The law first came up in the killing of Trayvon Martin when police cited the law as a reason for not initially charging Zimmerman. After national outcry, Zimmerman was charged 44 days later, and Zimmerman’s lawyer later opted not to specifically raise the Stand Your Ground defense at trial.

But the law was included in the instructions given to the Zimmerman jury. And the comments of several jurors after their deliberations suggest the law was central to their decision to acquit Zimmerman. O’Mara seemed to agree that the law could have affected the outcome in comments to Reuters last week, and said it confused the jury.

While O’Mara didn't cite the Stand Your Ground law during trial, he nonetheless blamed Martin for Zimmerman’s shooting, saying during closing arguments that the unarmed teen “did, in fact, cause his own death.”

O’Mara said he doesn't like the implication that the Stand Your Ground law played a role in the acquittal, and argues Zimmerman didn't need it to make his self-defense case. The Stand Your Ground provision is now part of standard jury instruction language on the “justifiable use of force” and included whenever a case involves self-defense claims, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

O’Mara told Reuters that he plans to propose a rules change to the Florida bar that would give judges discretion to only instruct the jury on the Stand Your Ground law in cases where it is “relevant.” He says another recent Stand Your Ground defendant, Michael Dunn, would not have needed the law either to argue he acted in self-defense in shooting dead 17-year-old Jordan Davis. But Dunn’s lawyer cited the law in closing arguments.

As Reuters reports, changing the rules would require approval by the legislature. And that means it could have as much trouble gaining traction in Florida as moves to repeal or limit the Stand Your Ground law.

MICHAEL DUNN GETS HIS DO....SORT OF

CONVICTED MURDERER AND RACIST MICHAEL DUNN

A Florida jury could not reach a verdict on the most serious charge facing Michael Dunn, a first degree murder charge for the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Jordan Davis after a dispute over loud music at a Jacksonville convenience store. Nevertheless, Dunn is all but certain to face a lengthy prison sentence as he was convicted on three counts of attempted second degree murder — one for each of three of Dunn’s friends who were also in the line of fire as Dunn fired ten rounds into their sport utility vehicle.

The judge declared a mistrial on the first degree murder count, leaving prosecutors the option of seeking a new trial.

The Florida shooting was the most prominent fatal shooting of a teen in self-defense since the death of Trayvon Martin drew national attention to Florida’s Stand Your Ground law. The law was also cited in Dunn’s trial.

The shooting occurred after Dunn asked the boys to turn down their music while parked next to him in a Jacksonville convenience store parking lot. His fiancée, Rhonda Rouer, says the last thing she heard him say was, “I hate that thug music.” Rouer was in the convenience store when she heard gunshots, and when she ran outside, he told her to get in the car and they drove away.

Dunn claimed he saw a gun and believed the boys were armed and dangerous. But police found no gun in the car. He said he heard Davis threaten to kill him, and responded by rolling down the window of his car and asking, “Are you talking to me?” Dunn and Rouer spent the night in a hotel, as planned, and their testimony differed about what happened that night, and in the days that followed. Dunn’s friends testified that they knew him as a calm and non-violent man.

During closing arguments, prosecutor John Guy told jurors, “Jordan Davis didn’t have a weapon. He had a big mouth. And that defendant wasn’t gonna stand for it. And it cost Jordan Davis his life.”

Dunn’s lawyer Cory Strolla cited Florida’s Stand Your Ground law in his closing argument, “His honor will further tell you that If Michael Dunn was in a public place where he had a legal right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force.” As in the George Zimmerman trial, the Stand Your Ground law was included in the jury instructions.

Alluding to public controversy of the law, Strolla added, “It’s not because I wrote it. It’s not cause I like it. We’re not here to change it and we’re not here to fight it. We’re here to apply it.”

When asked about the relevance of the law to this case during a press conference, Strolla told reporters that he “strategically” decided not to seek a separate Stand Your Ground hearing that could have given Dunn immunity before trial, because of the national media attention. He claimed the law was therefore not relevant to the case. But the jurors were nonetheless advised to consider the law when deciding Dunn’s guilt, by both Strolla and in the jury instructions.

Just prior to the trial, the State Attorney’s Office released a set of letters Dunn sent from prison revealing significant animus toward blacks. “The more time I am exposed to these people, the more prejudiced against them I become,” he said in one. “This jail is full of blacks and they all act like thugs,” he said in another. The letters did not come into play during trial. But they reveal the sort of racial undertones that have been prominent in many Stand Your Ground cases. One study found that white defendants with black victims are far more likely to have their killings deem “justified” under the Stand Your Ground law.

How apropos - the jail he lives in now is filled with, in his words 'blacks that act like thugs' - says the guy who murdered a person because their music was too loud.

Bottom line, if your African American in Florida, be wary, be very, very wary of whites toting guns!

DMX WILL NOT GET THE CHANCE TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF ZIMMERMAN

On February 4, fake-fight promoter Damon Feldman announced that he’d brokered a boxing match that was even more splashy and controversial than the pairings he’s brokered in the past. The plan was to have the rapper DMX fight George Zimmerman, the former Florida neighborhood watch captain who last year was acquitted in the shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin under the state’s so-called Stand Your Ground law. The stunt was met with widespread horror. And today, Feldman announced that he was calling it off.

Feldman tweeted:

The George Zimmerman fight is canceled I'm sorry for anyone I hurt with this but this was a very big opportunity thank you
— Damon Feldman (@hollywoodbox11) February 8, 2014

It’s a statement as telling as the original plan for the fight, which likely would have been staged because of the small probability that Feldman could have found a state or tribal jurisdiction to approve it.

Feldman, who’d initially suggested that the possibility of visiting violence on George Zimmerman would have been some sort of twisted justice, didn’t acknowledge that he’d come to understand just how wrong that idea was. Instead, he said he was sorry if he hurt anybody, “but this was a very big opportunity,” one he felt he apparently had no choice but to take.

It’s remarkable that Feldman’s capable of appealing to capitalism to suggest that he was justified in exploiting a grotesque national tragedy, as if the prospect of certain levels of profit exert a moral pull we’re somehow obliged to answer. But Feldman’s business has always been about pain, one way or the other, and particularly about the spectacle of seeing pain inflicted on unpopular celebrities, like former baseball player Jose Canseco or television personality Danny Bonaduce. This time, though, he was meting out pain outside the ring, and to people who hadn’t consented to lace up their gloves and risk a hit. I’m glad he had at least the small measure of good sense to understand just how ugly that sort of fight might have been.

In an update, Feldman has since deleted his tweets canceling the fight, and now says he’ll make a final decision Tuesday.

Nothing I would like more than to see this punk getting the fuck beat out of him, only wish it was I whom was beating him senseless.

LEAKED ZIMMERMAN TAPE A DOUSE

LATEST ROUND OF AS THE GEORGE ZIMMERMAN TURNS

After a domestic dispute and call to 911 in November, George Zimmerman's girlfriend told police officers that he had threatened her with a shotgun. The allegations echoed those of Zimmerman's ex-wife following his acquittal on charges of murdering unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, and seemed to signal a pattern of uncontrolled violence.

Pregnant girlfriend of George Zimmerman explains in vivid details of his frequent "episodes" of anger and fondness for handguns, shotguns, and a semiautomatic AR-15 rifle.





"I feel like he always gets off," pregnant 27-year-old Samantha Scheibe told a police investigator after her boyfriend, George Zimmerman, pointed a shotgun at her and smashed her belongings. Scheibe was right, again.

Scheibe later recanted, saying in a sworn statement that she was "intimidated" during police questioning and believed investigators had "misinterpreted" her words.

A recently released video of Scheibe's police interview leaked online by ZimmermanVerdict.net, not only casts doubt on her disavowal, it also adds credibility and disturbing violent new details to Scheibe's original account.

Mother Jones reports, "Far from intimidating, the officer who questioned Scheibe, Stephen LaGuardia of the Seminole County Sheriff's office, is a mild-mannered civil servant. And Scheibe's description of events was detailed and vivid—not exactly the kind of thing most people concoct on the fly. Having broken off the relationship, Scheibe said she told Zimmerman to leave her house. He began packing his belongings, including his AR-15 assault rifle. As he removed the clip and shoved it in his rifle bag, a bullet fell on the floor. Zimmerman then grabbed and cocked his shotgun, apparently so that there was a shell in the chamber, and stuffed it in the rifle bag, too."

"Scheibe began carrying Zimmerman's belongings outside "to get him out faster," at which point Zimmerman grew agitated and retrieved the shotgun. "The bag was right there, let’s just say this is the couch, he grabbed it, unlocked it, opened it," she explained, acting out Zimmerman's gestures. Initially, she suspected Zimmerman might commit suicide. "I was trying to figure out, honestly, whether or not he intended to hurt me or himself." But then, Scheibe said, he pointed the gun at her."

Asked again how she felt when Zimmerman aimed the scattergun at her, Scheibe said, "I was trying to figure out, honestly, whether or not he intended to hurt me or himself at that very first moment.

"And then I realized he was pissed at me."

After Scheibe recanted her allegations, prosecutors dropped the domestic violence and assault charges against Zimmerman.

The sixty million dollar question is, will Georgie kill someone else before he kills himself, or vice versa? Its only a matter of time. Hopefully its the latter.

NRA EQUALS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING

When police took George Zimmerman into custody for domestic violence charges earlier this month, the man who killed Trayvon Martin was armed with five firearms and 100 rounds of ammunition, according to a warrant released by police on Tuesday.

Zimmerman’s girlfriend alleges that he assaulted her, brandishing a shotgun in her face and telling her she would “regret” calling 911 for help. According to the warrant, a 12-gauge high capacity shotgun wasn’t the only weapon he was carrying. He also had an AR-15 assault rifle and three handguns — a Glock 19, an Interarms .380-caliber, and a Taurus 9mm.

He used a different handgun, a Kel-Tec 9 mm pistol, on the night he shot Trayvon Martin.

Now that Zimmerman has been arrested and charged with assault, he is no longer allowed to carry a firearm. His concealed carry permit should be suspended under Florida law.

But none of his prior run-ins with the law — including his fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin and a previous allegation of domestic violence — prevented Zimmerman from carrying a weapon before. In fact, after he became a national figure over Martin’s death, Zimmerman told reporters that he had “even more reason” to have a gun, and his lawyer confirmed that he was “carrying a weapon.” A gun advocacy group from Ohio even sent him a $12,150.37 check to buy more firearms.

It's no wonder the gun nuts hold Zimmerman up as a shining example of their nutbaggery, he's everything they want to be.

YOUR MOVE FLORIDA.....AND WE ARE WATCHING!

One of George Zimmerman’s terms for making bail after his arrest for allegedly pointing a shotgun at his girlfriend mean he cannot access any firearms. But Florida law should have required officials to suspend his gun license regardless of the bail hearing, even if determining whether officials are following that law is difficult in Florida.

According to a Florida statute that states the Department of Agriculture “shall, upon notification by a law enforcement agency, a court, or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and subsequent written verification, suspend a license or the processing of an application for a license if the licensee or applicant is arrested or formally charged with a crime that would disqualify such person from having a license under this section, until final disposition of the case.” Zimmerman’s arrest for aggravated assault, a third-degree felony, is a disqualifying crime.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which oversees concealed carry weapons permits, could not confirm any details about Zimmerman’s license because an individual’s information is exempt from public record.

Enforcing the statute is another matter entirely. Many states issue concealed carry permits through a law enforcement agency. In Florida, it’s a civil agency, Agriculture, which creates an extra reporting step that leaves room for miscommunication and mistakes. A 2007 Sun-Sentinel investigation found that concealed carry permits had been given to “1,400 people who pleaded guilty or no contest to felonies, 216 people with outstanding warrants, 128 people with active domestic violence injunctions and six registered sex offenders.” While felons are prohibited from owning weapons, gaps in background checks likewise led to3,479 arrests of felons carrying illegal guns in 2012. In fact, Florida’s lax laws means it often supplies out-of-state permits for people who would be rejected in their home state.

In 25 states outside Florida, a person with Zimmerman’s record — his shooting Trayvon Martin and history of domestic abuse, and two incidents of domestic violence just this year — would likely not be eligible to carry a concealed weapon in the first place.

When Zimmerman was charged for Martin’s death, activists demanded that Governor Rick Scott suspend Zimmerman’s concealed carry permit. Scott’s administration refused, arguing that “short of a permit holder being convicted of a felony, the state does not have the authority to revoke a permit.” One condition of Zimmerman’s bail had been that he could not access guns or alcohol.

Since he was acquitted of charges over Martin’s death, Zimmerman legally bought himself a new assault rifle and shotgun that he reportedly has had with him in the car, in his holster, and in his home.

Since writing this blog, the Department of Agriculture has confirmed that it moves to suspend a license for permit holders charged with felonies once the department learns of the charges. License holders receive a notice of their suspension by mail.

YEAP, THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG

George Zimmerman's Newest Mug Shot [How Many Is This Now?]

Less than six months after walking away from the trial over Trayvon Martin’s death, George Zimmerman was arrested Monday afternoon by Seminole County law enforcement over a domestic dispute reportedly involving a girlfriend. He is being held without bail, and there are no specific charges released yet.

The Orlando Sentinel reports that Zimmerman’s new girlfriend, age 27, had been in the car two months ago when he allegedly threatened his estranged wife Shellie Zimmerman with a gun.

In September, Zimmerman was involved with another disturbance at his home. Shellie Zimmerman placed a frightened call to 911, in which she described seeing Zimmerman punching her father and with a gun in his holster. Police never recovered one, and after Zimmerman threatened to press counter-charges, his wife announced she would not press her own.

Since the trial, Zimmerman has bought himself a new gun with the help of a fundraiser from a gun advocacy group. 

Zimmerman is the O.J. Simpson of this era, and hopefully the rope that holds the noose around this asshat's neck is getting shorter - so that the next one dead or injured is George Zimmerman, and not another innocent human being.

Since this story broke I've been asking people, is there a limit to how many times you can use stand your ground as a defense in the state of Florida, or is it like an all you can kill buffet?

So now I am really confused, is it now too soon to talk about gun control? Or is it now too soon to talk about abusive relationships? Can a gun hugging GOPer please step up and help me, I'm not sure what not to talk about?

Zimmerman, "Another Sandy Hook Waiting To Happen"

Police Chief Steve Bracknell, who is responsible for the Florida town where George Zimmerman resides, agreed in a series of emails that Zimmerman is a “ticking time bomb” and another “Sandy Hook” waiting to happen.

Bracknell expressed his views in response to two emails from Santiago Rodriguez, who reached Bracknell through a contact form on the police department’s website. Bracknell confirmed the emails’ authenticity and subsequently tried to distance himself from the remarks.

Rodriguez’s first email was an extended, and sometimes angry, critique of how the Lake Mary Police Department handled their response to the recent altercation between George Zimmerman, his wife and his father in law. Rodriguez told Bracknell that he had a responsibility to charge Zimmerman because he was another “Sandy Hook… waiting to happen.” Bracknell responded with a detailed defense of the police department’s conduct, but explicitly endorsed Rodriguez’s comments on Sandy Hook.

[Ellipses are from the original email.]

Asked to elaborate on his email, Bracknell attempted to distance himself from Rodriguez’s comments, saying he did not agree and was “referring to the fact that [Zimmerman] seems to be involved in incidents” involving firearms.

In his second email, Rodriguez called Zimmerman a “ticking time bomb” who will snap “sooner or later.” Again, Bracknell agreed.

The full email exchange between Rodriguez and Bracknell is available here.

The police are still deciding whether or not to charge Zimmerman in connection to the incident. They are attempting to recover video of alleged assault that Zimmerman’s wife, Shellie, recorded with her iPad. Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, acknowledged that Zimmerman broke the iPad into pieces before the police arrived. According to witnesses, Zimmerman also punched his father-in-law in the nose.

In her call to 911, Shellie Zimmerman told the police that Zimmerman was threatening her with his gun. “I don’t know what he’s capable of. I’m really, really scared,” Shellie said.

Zimmerman told police at the scene that he did not have a gun, according to Bracknell and a police department spokesman. O’Mara, however, insisted on CNN that he did have a gun on him during the entire incident. Bracknell said that one of them isn’t “telling the truth.”

What is not in dispute is that Zimmerman, despite his legal troubles and the police chief’s concerns, is still permitted to carry a concealed weapon in the State of Florida. In Florida, unlike other states like New York and New Jersey, authorities have no discretion over whether to grant or revoke concealed carry permits. Dr. Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, recently told Salon, “You’ve got all kinds of George Zimmermans and everything in between there who fall through the cracks of our exclusions. But if you ask any reasonable person how comfortable they are with an individual like that running around with a concealed, loaded gun, the vast majority would say they are not.”

BREAKING: GEORGE ZIMMERMAN IN CUSTODY FOR GUN THREAT TO FAMILY MEMBER

Trayvon Martin shooter George "twinkie guzzler" Zimmerman is under police investigation for a possible domestic battery following a fight with his wife and her family on Monday afternoon. According to news channel WKMG Local 6, police are “trying to determine what exactly happened” but they report a gun was present. The Associated Press reports that Zimmerman allegedly violently threatened his estranged wife, Shellie, and her father first with a knife, punched the father-in-law in the nose, and pulled out his gun at her parents’ house in Lake Mary, Central Florida, just days after Shellie filed for divorce.

In her 911 call, Shellie said, “He continuously has his hand on his gun and he keeps saying ‘get closer.” She continued, “I’m really really afraid. I don’t know what he’s capable of. I’m really, really scared.”

The family is considering whether to press charges, and no arrest has been made yet.

In the meantime, Zimmerman’s brother, Robert, has tweeted:

Zimmerman has had documented instances of domestic violence before, including a restraining order from his ex-fiancee.

Since Zimmerman was acquitted for shooting and killing Martin, he has gone shopping for a new firearm from the manufacturer that made the gun that killed Martin. He has also received speeding tickets from police, and revealed he had a gun stored in his car glove compartment at the time. An Ohio gun group raised over $12,000, which they sent Zimmerman to purchase the new gun.

Under Florida law, Zimmerman’s alleged actions likely amount to “aggravated assault,” a third degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison. Additionally, if Zimmerman is convicted of this felony, he would be legally barred from owning a gun.

Stay tuned for further developments.

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN "GOT AWAY WITH MURDER"

JUROR B29 "MADDY" SAYS ZIMMERMAN "WALKED AWAY WITH MURDER"

In an exclusive interview airing Thursday night and Friday morning on ABC, the only minority juror on the six-person panel that acquitted George Zimmerman expresses remorse that Zimmerman was found innocent on all charges, saying he “got away with murder.” But, she adds, she determined after deliberation that Florida law dictated that result. In excerpts released in advance by ABC, Juror B29, who identifies herself only as “Maddy,”

Video courtesy of ABC




The only explanation of “self-defense” in the 27-page instructions given to the jury was in the section on the “Justifiable Use Of Deadly Force,” which describes Florida’s Stand Your Ground law, and reads:

If George Zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in anyplace where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he reasonably believed that it was necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.

Juror B29 is the second to speak out since Zimmerman’s acquittal. Last week, another juror who spoke anonymously to CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 referred specifically to the Stand Your Ground law, saying the provision was a major factor in their deliberations. She also expressed more sympathy than Maddy toward Zimmerman, however, saying she felt sorry for him, and that Trayvon Martin was partly responsible for his own death. Four other jurors later issued a statement distancing themselves from these comments.

Maddy's words:

“George Zimmerman got away with murder, but you can’t get away from God. And at the end of the day, he’s going to have a lot of questions and answers he has to deal with,” Maddy said. “[But] the law couldn't prove it.” 

When the jury of six women—five of them mothers—began deliberations, Maddy said she favored convicting Zimmerman of second degree murder, which could have put him in prison for the rest of his life. The jury was also allowed to consider manslaughter, a lesser charge. 

“I was the juror that was going to give them the hung jury. I fought to the end,” she said.
However, on the second day of deliberations, after spending nine hours discussing the evidence, Maddy said she realized there wasn't enough proof to convict Zimmerman of murder or manslaughter under Florida law. 

Zimmerman concedes he shot and killed Martin in Sanford on Feb. 26, 2012, but maintains he fired in self-defense. 

“That’s where I felt confused, where if a person kills someone, then you get charged for it,” Maddy said. “But as the law was read to me, if you have no proof that he killed him intentionally, you can’t say he’s guilty.”

As a mother, Maddy said she has had trouble adjusting to life after the verdict, and has wrestled with whether she made the right decision. 

“I felt like I let a lot of people down, and I’m thinking to myself, ‘Did I go the right way? Did I go the wrong way?’” she said. 

“As much as we were trying to find this man guilty…they give you a booklet that basically tells you the truth, and the truth is that there was nothing that we could do about it,” she said. “I feel the verdict was already told.”

I am not sure what's more disturbing, the fact that Zimmerman walked, or to know that a juror failed to stand her ground with her guilty verdict. Certainly a lesson learned would be to have more than six jurors and certainly the jury should be as diverse are the country itself.

Clearly most Americans with an IQ above 3 agree that Florida's Stand Your Ground law is severely flawed. This miscarriage of justice is what's wrong with this "great system". I have said over and over in my blogs, "I'd never want to leave my fate in the hands of 6 people too stupid to get out of jury duty".

I have come to the conclusion that reason has no antithesis like a jury in session!

"GEORGIE" TO GET ANOTHER GUN

ZIMMERMAN'S MURDER WEAPON 

An Ohio gun group is soliciting donations to “provide [Trayvon Martin shooter George] Zimmerman, who has no current source of income, with the funds he needs to replace his firearm, holster, and other gear.” Citing a news report indicating that the U.S. Department of Justice asked police to “keep possession of all the evidence from George Zimmerman’s second-degree murder trial” — most likely so that they can use that evidence in conducting a federal investigation into the Martin shooting — the Buckeye Firearms Foundation spins a complex conspiracy theory built around the idea that Attorney General Eric Holder will use the Zimmerman investigation to somehow target other gun owners:

This move to prevent Mr. Zimmerman from claiming his property is an unacceptable abuse of power. And the threats of federal charges on civil rights grounds is little more than blatant pandering for political gain. 

Moreover, based on statements he and others have made recently, Holder hopes to use this as the first step toward renewing this administration’s attack on gun rights. . . . George Zimmerman has every right to get his property back. 

And if Eric Holder chooses to deny Mr. Zimmerman that right, Buckeye Firearms Foundation will remedy the matter by purchasing a NEW FIREARM for him, including a holster, flashlight, and any other gear he wants.

Zimmerman shot and killed the unarmed Trayvon Martin while the teen-aged boy was wandering through Zimmerman’s neighborhood carrying an iced tea and a bag of Skittles. Zimmerman was later acquitted after the jury hearing his case was instructed that he “had the right to stand his ground” and use deadly force against Martin if he “reasonably believed that it was necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.” One of the six jurors that acquitted Zimmerman confirmed in an interview with CNN that Florida’s Stand Your Ground law played a role in her decision. In her words, "because of the heat of the moment and the Stand Your Ground. He had a right to defend himself. If he felt threatened that his life was going to be taken away from him or he was going to have bodily harm, he had a right.”

Under Florida’s Stand Your Ground law, prosecutors had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman was not engaged in such self-defense at the time that he shot Martin — meaning that the jury was required to let him off scot-free even if they were fairly certain that Zimmerman acted unlawfully, so long as they had reasonable lingering doubts regarding whether Zimmerman was actually the aggressor.

And now, an Ohio gun group wants to ensure that Zimmerman is armed once again — just in case he feels like he needs to stand his ground in the future.

Naturally the first item of business after killing a teen is to get Zimmerman another gun. Kudos to the Buckeye Firearms Foundation for this noble gesture. Caution readers, George Zimmerman could be coming to a town near you!

If we listen to the true bone thugs of our country, the proponents of "Stand Your Ground", and the Guns Over People - the gun huggers untied society [NRA], we are led to believe that all black males come from the same mold, which might include words like, lazy, food-stampers, drug dealing, gangsta criminals up to now good.

There is nothing that Americans do better - than judging others and racial profiling, whether we know them or not - There are 6 million Trayvon Martin's in this country, with a hoodie, gold teeth, dark skin, teen - and they are automatically bundle into stereotypes, like:

Stupid, Irresponsible, Crack babies, Teen pregnancy, Drop-outs, Incarcerated, Fathers leave their kids, Love fried chicken and Kool-Aid, Lazy, Violent, Live in the ghetto/the projects, Wasted generation, Loud, obnoxious, rude, Nappy hair, Bad attitudes, disrespectful, Hoodlums, Poor, Obese, Dirty, Sex, drugs, porn, weed, Guns, Low job expectations, Speak different English.

If we take a look at George Zimmerman's past, [Content provided by "political blind spot"] via his old "MySpace account, we see a Zimmerman that apes the very stereotypical analogies that the country is associating Martin too. [Full story seen here]

Excerpts from Zimmerman's MySpace Account:

In his biographical blurb, he discusses things he doesn't miss about his former home in Manassas, Virginia: 

I dont miss driving around scared to hit mexicans walkin on the side of the street, soft ass wanna be thugs messin with peoples cars when they aint around (what are you provin, that you can dent a car when no ones watchin) dont make you a man in my book. Workin 96 hours to get a decent pay check, gettin knifes pulled on you by every mexican you run into!”

In an August 24, 2005 blog post, he boasts about his relief about the proceedings in a criminal case. 

Im still free! The ex hoe tried her hardest, but the judge saw through it! Big Mike, reppin the Dverse security makin me look a million bucks, broke her down! Thanks to everyone for checkin up on me! Stay tuned for the A.T.F. charges……

A few days later, he expresses happiness that the other charges against him were reduced to misdemeanors. 

2 felonies dropped to 1 misdemeanor!!!!!!!!!!! The man knows he was wrong but still got this hump, Thanks to everyone friends and fam, G baby you know your my rock!

In 2005, a 20-year-old Zimmerman was arrested and charged after an altercation with a police officer. The same year, his ex-fianceé filed a restraining order against him and accused him of domestic violence.

Now if I was to take my perceived view of Zimmerman from his MySpace page, I might perceive him to be of a criminal element - out walking, doing no good - "these Fucking People always get away" Right George? Spoken from a true POV [Point of View] experience evidently!

Was George Zimmerman referencing this due to his own modus operandi as a bone thug, a cop beating, woman beating bone thug ?

The preponderance of evidence is overwhelming in this case, if you look at the totality of Zimmerman v. Martin, one doesn't have to look far to see who the bone thug racist is!

George Zimmerman, profiled and murdered a teen, he was judge and jury in situation that well exceeded his: IQ, his mentality, and most of all, certainly his "soft" physical being.


Robert Zimmerman vigilante rhetoric starts at 2:37




Really Robert Zimmerman? Vigilante? Speaking of your pot and Kettle Moment!

6 jurors are entitled to their view [remember my comment form yesterday: "I'd never want to leave my fate in the hands of 6 people too stupid to get out of jury duty"] of the case - their interpretation of the law [limited in scope] which was based on the evidence presented, [which wasn't much] and that hence is where a portion of this travesty lies. As I said in my blog "System Failure, Death While Walking Black - "This is not so much a proclamation of right vs. wrong, but more so a declaration of the judicial system. Perhaps we need to look more closely at the laws and the interpretation of such and make the proper changes."

There are so many wrongs in this case, where to start? Stop profiling, stop judging, stop racism, and, if your not a cop in real life, well then for gods sake leave the protecting and serving to the real Barney Fife's!

John Oliver Blasting The Zimmerman Verdict

What's the old saying? "I'd never want to leave my fate in the hands of 6 people too stupid to get out of jury duty"?

The myriad of problems associated with the Zimmerman case are just too numerous to list in a single blog.

As a white man, I find the actions of some white people utterly disgusting! I find it hard to believe that in circa 2013 - the filthy nasty comments are being sent to African Americans whom have chosen to voice their opinion on this case.

I would tell my race that we are 250 years removed from the civil war, and yet our words today, portray this very unlettered mentality of a time long ago. Take heed white folk, "for it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"!

I often used to claim that our political discourse was the worst division or obstacle before us, seeing the vile ugliness of my own race over this case, I have to say, that as a country, we are no better today than we where in 1863, and it is this divisiveness that takes the lead as America's worst.

Justice you say? Florida law, no racism what so ever? Both of these people pictured invoked stand your ground, on killed, and one fired warning shots. One walked away Scott free, one got twenty years. Where is this justice you speak of America? See the problem here readers?

FLORIDA INJUSTICE 

Juror B37: What can you say, she is on a first name bases with the murderer, she appears to be very: sympathetic to "George", condescending, and it appears that she had preconceived ideas of guilt well prior to - or before she should have. Also less than 48 hours after the trial, Juror B 37 had a deal sealed to write a book [which has since been rescinded see below link], there is no doubt in this bloggers mind that dollar signs of a book deal where well discussed prior to her being seated as a juror. She also claims that she would trust "George" to be a "wanna-be-cop" again. HUH?:! Seriously? She also stated that race wasn't a player in the trial - is she sure she was speaking on the same Zimmerman trial!?

I could write my doctoral thesis on this case, something to consider I guess - but what does it say about America, that today white people are reconstituting the "N" word to taunt Americans of race for their opinions? Van Jones was pummeled with the word 25 times in a tweet right after the verdict.

Not only does the verdict disgust me, but so does the actions of white "Christians"! From the Ted Nugent's of the world [the man who shit his pants to avoid the Vietnam draft, also see the link below regarding pants shitting] to those bold racists, who utter direct racial epithets from behind both closed doors and computer screens - you humans are the most vile despicable homosapiens to ever troll the earth - you are not Christians, you are not Americans, and lastly, you are not human! Your ignorance resonates with a resounding thud! Lack of education and common decency is not an excuse for your behavior!


Below John Oliver shreds the Zimmerman verdict:

I found a letter from an African American to George Zimmerman, and it goes like this:

Dear George Zimmerman, 

For the rest of your life you are now going to feel what's it like to be a black man in America. 

You will feel people stare at you . Judging you for what you think are unfair reasons. You will lose out on getting jobs for something you feel is outside of your control. You will believe yourself to be an upstanding citizen and wonder why people choose not to see that. 

People will cross the street when they see you coming. They will call you hurtful names. It will drive you so crazy that you'll want to scream at the top of your lungs. But you will have to wake up the next day, put on a firm look and push through the day. 

I bet you never thought that by shooting a black male you'd end up inheriting all of his struggles. 

Enjoy your "freedom".

Sincerely, 

A black male who could've been Tryavon Martin

George Zimmerman made a statement during his "we don't need you to do that" killing of an innocent teen: "Those fucking punks always get away with it"! How true he is, especially in this case - yes George, you are indeed, a fucking punk!

The Facts On Blacks And The Criminal Justice System

George Zimmerman killed one boy, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Although a Florida jury found Zimmerman not guilty, his attitude — that a young black male is an object suspicion and contempt — not only cost Martin his life but has infected the entire United States criminal justice system.

Law Professor Michelle Alexander makes the point powerfully:

It is the Zimmerman mindset that must be found guilty – far more than the man himself. It is a mindset that views black men and boys as nothing but a threat, good for nothing, up to no good no matter who they are or what they are doing. It is the Zimmerman mindset that has birthed a penal system unprecedented in world history, and relegated millions to a permanent under caste.

The statistics back up Alexander’s point. Minorities, especially the six million young black men in America, get much worse outcomes from the criminal justice system for the same conduct:

A black male born in 2001 has a 32% chance of spending some portion of his life in prison. A white male born the same year has just a 6% chance. [Sentencing Project] 

 In major American cities, as many as 80% of young African-American men have criminal records. [Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow] 

African-Americans who use drugs are more than four times as likely to be incarcerated than whites who use drugs. African Americans constitute 14% of the population and 14% of monthly drug users. But African-Americans represent 34% of those arrested for a drug offense and 53% of those sentenced to prison for a drug offense. [American Bar Association] 

 In seven states, African Americans constitute 80% or more of all drug offenders sent to prison. [Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow] 

 Black students are three and a half times as likely to be suspended or expelled than their white peers. One in five black boys receive an out-of-school suspension. Education Secretary Arne Duncan who commissioned the study, said “The undeniable truth is that the everyday education experience for too many students of color violates the principle of equity at the heart of the American promise.” [New York Times] 

Black youth who are referred to juvenile court are much more likely to be detained, referred to adult court or end up in adult prison than their white counterparts. Blacks represented 28% of juvenile arrests, 30% of referrals to juvenile court, 37% of the detained population, 35% of youth judicially waived to criminal court and 58% of youth admitted to state adult prison. [National Council on Crime And Delinquency] 

The United States imprisons a larger percentage of its black population than South Africa did at the height of apartheid. [Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow]

In 2004, the American Bar Association created a commission which produced recommendation to address “racial and ethnic bias in the criminal justice system.” Thus far, their recommendations have been largely ignored in much of the country.

When the facts and data stack up likes this, it no wonder that the George Zimmerman's of the world walk Scott free of murder. How is it circa 2013, that we still oppress human beings - a country who professes itself to the world that civil rights are at the forefront of its democracy - Tell this to the 6 million Trayvon Martin's.

SYSTEM FAILURE, DEATH WHILE WALKING BLACK

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN BEWARE, HOODIE IS RECREATIONAL!

UPDATE: 7/14/13 16:16 The link below is inundated with hits, that's why the site won't load. Be patient and also be advised that the DOJ has said they will look into civil rights violations. Also, below an addendum to the 911 operator telling Zimmerman to stop.

"Not guilty." The verdict in the George Zimmerman trial for Trayvon Martin's killing resonates far beyond those two words today. Only in America can a dead black boy go on trial for his own murder! Justice denied, Twinkie Guzzlers acquittal is the latest in a long string of sad chapters in American history with regards to both race and guns.

This is America, what do we expect? The only thing you aren't allowed to kill in America in an instant is a fetus. In reality, the dogs in Michael Vick's case received more consideration than Trayvon Martin did!

Notice to African Americans: If you're Black in America, you now officially know what you're life is worth.

As I sit here disgusted by Zimmerman's [The Twinkie Guzzler] not guilty verdict, I find flawed humans footprints everywhere in this case. When a country and states have a law like "Stand Your Ground" in place, where all you have to say is "I felt threatened", what do we expect, especially when the victim is a minority?

All through the trial we hear that this system, our justice system is the best that exists. If this is the case, then we are all doomed to burn in hell for eternity.

Our nation has failed us, the state of Florida failed us, and the only one we can turn to in travesties like this is God, for we know that the wrath of hell awaits Georgie Zimmerman.

With itchy twitchy fingers already handling guns, along with this verdict - it certainly seems like open season on those who choose to want to walk the streets freely. This is not so much a proclamation of right vs. wrong, but more so a declaration of the judicial system. Perhaps we need to look more closely at the laws and the interpretation of such and make the proper changes. For certainly Trayvon Martin deserved better, along with any future Trayvon Martin's as well!

America tells the world how great it is, it injects its views to bone thug countries as to how great we are, last night the world was watching, and if this is the democracy you want to impose on the world, you need to work better on your civil rights skills America, and Florida - proved that America has morphed passed 1863.

I have a motion in the George Zimmerman trail, I motion to dismiss Florida as a state due to their lack of interest in utilizing the justice system correctly!

What did Trayvon do that was suspicious or horribly wrong - that the outcome deserved or warranted death? He walk through a freaking neighborhood for Christ's sake! Zimmerman profiled, followed, attacked, and then killed Trayvon Martin [all the while being told by 911 "that we don't need you to do that", regarding chasing him] and yet the Twinkie guzzler walks free - while a Black woman in Florida was just sentenced to 20 years for firing warning shots, in her home, at a man who broke in, and to whom she had a restraining order against. Where the fuck is Trayvon's justice? Where the fuck was Marissa Alexander justice? See what I am getting at here readers?

Had the Twinkie Guzzler just stayed in his vehicle as advised, - its funny, or maybe not so much, that Zimmerman choose to listen to his lawyers and not take the stand - if only he had followed and agreed to the directive from the 911 operator as easily as he did his arrogant lawyers.

The Zimmerman verdict is bad news for anyone who likes to go outside and walk, especially in states where Stand Your Ground exists!

Just a friendly reminder readers that Justice John Roberts thinks racism in America is over. Sleep tight America, George Zimmerman could be coming to a town near you!

We at NFTOS along with the NAACP are calling on the U.S. Justice Department to open a civil rights case against George Zimmerman and have launched a petition to Attorney General Eric Holder. The petition says: 

The Department of Justice has closely monitored the State of Florida's prosecution of the case against George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin murder since it began. Today, with the acquittal of George Zimmerman, it is time for the Department of Justice to act.

The most fundamental of civil rights—the right to life—was violated the night George Zimmerman stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin. We ask that the Department of Justice file civil rights charges against Mr. Zimmerman for this egregious violation.

Please address the travesties of the tragic death of Trayvon Martin by acting today. Thank you.

Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.

UPDATE:

To chase or not to chase:

For those who argue that the 9-11 operator "did not have the authority to dissuade Zimmerman from following Treyvon Martin:

The answer is Yes. In Florida, a 9-11 operator can actively manage an emergency situation and any sanctioned Citizens on Patrol (COP) volunteer. Members of the COP program are an extension of law enforcement sponsored community policing programs and are only authorized observe and report.

401.465(a)“911 public safety telecommunicator” means a public safety dispatcher or 911 operator whose duties and responsibilities include the answering, receiving, transferring, and dispatching functions related to 911 calls; dispatching law enforcement officers, fire rescue services, emergency medical services, and other public safety services to the scene of an emergency; providing real-time information from federal, state, and local crime databases; or supervising or serving as the command officer to a person or persons having such duties and responsibilities [which includes sanctioned Citizens on Patrol volunteer program members]

Broward County sheriff's spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wright: sanctioned Citizens on Patrol (COP) volunteer program members "[are] told not to intervene, only to report suspicious activity," As a sanctioned Citizens on Patrol (COP) volunteer, George Zimmerman was ordered not to follow Treyvon Martin via the authority granted an certified 911 public safety telecommunicator.

See my problem with facts and the judicial system? If I could find this why couldn't the prosecutors. If only the twinkie guzzler had stayed in his vehicle!

A PLEA TO STAY CALM

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN IN NOT SO BETTER TIMES

With the end of the Zimmerman V Martin trial coming to a close - I came upon a letter from Russell Simmons posted yesterday, that we would like to echo and re-post here at NFTOS.

I have made no bones about my stance in this case, and while the State of Florida has presented a horrible case, many points in the case are being left out, for whatever reason - decided by law or the Judges interpretation of said law.

Many will say our court system is the best there is. I call bullshit! There is only one true court and [ the heavenly court, which is not a court of flawed mans laws] I think our court systems are deeply erred.

What evidence to allow, what to not allow, an original query issued to a testifier is not acceptable in one instance - yet upon an objection and rephrasing of said question it is OK, and allowed in court. It would seem to the laymen that two key points have been omitted. A key portion in this case is, who is screaming in the 911 tapes. The latitude to not allow a voice recognition expert to testify as to who is screaming, is a huge travesty in my honest opinion! The failure to hammer the point that "Georgie" was told by 911, "ok, we don't need you to do that", referencing Georgie cease and desist of the stalking of Martin.

The biggest travesty in my opinion is the murderer himself George Zimmerman - that he shall be entitled to invoke his 5th amendment right.

If indeed Zimmerman is so innocent, put him on the stand, but like all murderers, they quietly sit in the defense chair with their testicles tucked under their posterior fearing the worst, and yet knowingly they can't get up in front of a jury and make their FUBAR story believable! 

This aforementioned true court I mention above, shall be the one that puts "Georgie" where he belongs, and that is throwing fireballs in the firmament of hell, and rightly so!  

Anyhow, off my soapbox, baring a major cataclysmic paradigm shift, the murderer named George Zimmerman, shall more than likely walk away a free man. I am just as disgusted and pissed off as most about the ebb and flow of this trial - and that its a high probability that this murderer walks away Scott free within a few short days.

I am asking that we let the process move forward, to channel our efforts lawfully as the verdict befalls us. To not be George Zimmerman like, lets handle this the way grown educated humans should, without violence and mayhem.

I found the below message, to be very well written. I leave you this day with a letter from Russell Simmons.

RUSSELL SIMMONS LETTER:
Like so many people across the country, I have followed the murder trial of George Zimmerman very closely. As we enter what is probably the last week of the trial, I am sure that everyone is anxious about the outcome. For the past sixteen months, I have proudly supported the courageous parents of Trayvon Martin as they have fought for justice for their son. I have greatly admired the grace and humility that they have exuded throughout this entire tragic ordeal. For them, the day of judgment in the courtroom will be a very difficult day and I certainly will say a prayer for them when that day comes.

Even with this important day coming soon, I remind myself that we have already accomplished a tremendous amount in the memory of Trayvon. All we ever asked for was for equal justice for the young man who was killed that drizzling night in Sanford, Florida. If George Zimmerman had rights, so did Trayvon Martin. And that is why Mr. Zimmerman was properly arrested and charged with murder in the second degree. He will soon be judged by a jury of his peers, and that is the best we can do. Whatever decision they make, is a decision that we must live with, whether we like it or not. Whether George Zimmerman is found innocent or guilty by the jury, I am firm believer that all of us live by karmic law, and he will ultimately be punished for the death of Trayvon, no matter what. However, if he walks free out of that courtroom, I understand that some people will be very sad, but we must remember the mission we are on. As I have heard Trayvon's parents say time and time again, they are not only fighting for justice for their son, they are fighting for all of us, especially those parents who have to live through the misery of burying their child and the sadness that comes after. 

Their inspiring leadership has already led to action. In 2012, for the first time in 8 years, not ONE state in our nation passed a new "Stand Your Ground" law. The power of the NRA and their gun-toting cronies in business were stopped in their tracks by the Justice For Trayvon Martin movement. That is an incredible accomplishment. That is the mission we must continue after this trial is over. Led by the heroism of Trayvon's parents, we will support their efforts to not only block new laws from being enacted, but also repeal the laws in the twenty five states who already passed "Stand Your Ground" type legislation. And we will certainly support their healing process, as they have become great protectors of our nation's compassion. It is the future that needs to be protected and everyone who stood up for Trayvon plays a part in that protection. If we failed to protect Trayvon on February 26, 2012, we will pledge to never make that mistake again.

Never we will stop fighting for justice for Trayvon, guilty verdict or acquittal, as our work will never be done!

THE ROTTEN APPLE DIDN'T FALL FAR FROM THE DISEASED TREE

ROBERT ZIMMERMAN 

George Zimmerman’s Father Says The ‘True Racists’ Are African-American:

Racism starts at an early age, normally feed by or from the beast themselves, our parents. Show me a racist and I'll point to the trunk of the tree for the source of the hate. George Zimmerman's dad is no exception. Having now heard from George's brother and now dad, its plan to see that this family is laden with racism! This family is proof in the pudding that racism is a learned behavior.

As the murder trial for George Zimmerman begins, his father has released an emotional and highly unusual e-book, publicly opining on all aspects of the case. The book by Robert Zimmerman Sr., called “Florida v. Zimmerman: Uncovering the Malicious Prosecution of my Son, George” was released today on Amazon for $3.99.

The most striking chapter is called “Who Are The True Racists,” an apparent effort to rebut claims that his son’s actions were racially motivated.

Previously, Zimmerman Sr. “believed generally racism was a thing of the past.” He says that, personally, he hadn’t encountered much racism, even though his wife is Hispanic. But after his son shot and killed Trayvon Martin, however, Zimmerman learned that racism is “flourishing at the insistence of some in the African American Community.” He then goes on to list various black leaders and organizations that he believes are racist:

Congressional Black Caucus. “[A] pathetic, self-serving group of racists… advancing their purely racist agenda.” He later adds that “all members of Congress should be ashamed of the Congressional Black Caucus, as should be their constituents.” And finally: “They are truly a disgrace to all Americans.”

 The NAACP. “[S]imply promotes racism and hatred for their own, primarily finical, interests” and “without prejudice and racial divide, the NAACP would simply cease to exist.”

NAACP President Benjamin Jealous. “[W]hat I would expect of a racist.”
Trayvon Martin’s funeral director. A “racial activist and former head of the local NAACP.”

 Benjamin Crump, Natialie Jackson and Darrly Parks, attorneys for Travyon Martin’s family. “The scheme team.”

The National Basketball Players Association.

Black Chamber of Commerce.

National Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers.

National Black United Fund.

United Negro College Fund.

While stopping short of explicitly calling President Obama a racist, Zimmerman Sr. does say that Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have “shamelessly” sought to exploit his son’s case “to obtain great advantage in the African-American community.”

Zimmerman Sr. says that because of Holder’s decision to investigate whether Trayvon Martin’s death violated federal civil rights laws, the FBI did not have “adequate resources to investigate clearly identified potential terrorist [sic] in the Boston area.” Now, “tragically, we have suffered the consequences of Mr. Holder’s politically motivated decisions.”

I personally think the Zimmermans are trash. Whether the racist murderer George Zimmerman is guilt or innocent, that will be determined by a jury - I do not need a jury to tell me that this family oozes and bleeds racism!
