Strong chances are another tragedy will happen again. I am hoping that if it does happen the DOJ throws the book so hard that liberal America will thing twice than to act like fools. Liberal Americans have gotten way out of hand.

In America, anyone can assume a title. Doesn't mean they hold legitimate ministerial credentials.

We had someone talk at our law school who used the term "Honorable" before his name. I inquired if he ever served in public office (usually state legislature) or was a judge. I was told anyone can use the title and few will fuss over it.

If it talks like a duck and walks like a duck well then it must be a duck right?

Sharpton and Holder are both just symptoms of the disease of progressiveness that has fallen upon this country like a locust. Holder probably should be in jail on other charges not directly related to this.


sh**, I thought that you had a crazy hysterical right wing with all this Tea Party stuff, but at least you had some reasonable left wing. Or at least this is what looks from here in Europe.

But this Zimmermar case... dear god, it looks like your left wing there in US is as brainless as the one here. I was reading some articles and founding the same 'in the clouds' symptoms that left has here in Europe.

If this is what you have at the left, and the right alternative is the Tea Party, you're screwed, guys. Sorry to say that.

Indeed, if this is what remains from the western world left, we're all screwed.


What gives me a laugh is when I refer to them as the American left they get all butt-hurt and vehemently deny that they are the left by world standards and that they are merely center right. I'm the extreme right and dangerously fanatical by their standards. I know better and to me if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be a duck.
Yes, we are all screwed.

He could have very well instigated the fight and and might be guilty as sin but we'll never know. All we know for sure is that there was a fight, Martin was killed, and the prosecution didnt have nearly enough of a case to convict Zimmerman.


That's the point. This should be big and in bold.

It is possible that George Zimmerman murdered Trayvon Martin and that he has gotten away with the murder.

The problem is that there is no evidence to suggest that Zimmerman murdered Martin. There is nothing pinning that deliberate act of murder on Zimmerman.

Without conclusive and decisive evidence of the act of Zimmerman actually murdering Martin (rather than killing him in self-defence), there should be no guilty verdict.

It's perfectly possible to have committed a serious act but not be found guilty because the jury cannot convict you on the scant evidence they have, or because the defence was very good and the prosecution weak, or whatever.

/\ Exactly.
Due process was followed and the trial was televised for the world to see. The mob didnt get their way, even though the media had already crucified Zimmerman, so now they're pulling the race card as I knew they would.

Just like Greb said the Left here are brainless as a door knob and for that reason Zimmerman should fear his life. There may have not been evidence to convict him of murder but some Left wing nut job with a vengeance to kill will mark Zimmerman's crime scene in urine and be proud of it. THAT IS OUR SAD LEFT LIBERAL AMERICA! Not to say our Right wing party is any better but the GOP has a little more sense. Gred hit the nail on the head with that statement.

Yeah, the old "there is no real Left in this country" trope. At the same time, the American Right is closely akin to the Taliban, according to the progressives.

The thing I absolutely can't believe - the call to the dispatcher had 45 seconds cut out to make Zimmerman say something to the effect of of "this guy's up to no good...he looks black".

Sweeeeeeeet. Tell me our media doesn't have class. If Zimmerman get's killed now in a racially motivated incident I hope whatever news outlets did that creative splicing are held accomplice to the murder.

No, the consensus will be that their hearts were in the right place. The same as when they incite rioting and convict people before the trial.
