Maybe that’s because I didn’t limit who I was talking about to people on this thread. You can’t honestly tell me that there aren’t people out there who would love to see him lynched in the name of black civil rights.
I’ve seen that picture before.
What is with this group of “johnny come lately” posters who haven’t bothered to read the posts, haven’t followed the trial, haven’t looked at the evidence but make specious claims for which there is about ZERO evidence in support.
The attorney general of the United States of America, Eric Holder, has declared that the death of Trayvon Martin was unnecessary. I am sure that he knows a whole lot more about this case than anyone here.What is with this group of “johnny come lately” posters who haven’t bothered to read the posts, haven’t followed the trial, haven’t looked at the evidence but make specious claims for which there is about ZERO evidence in support.
One of my best friends was a prosecutor who handled a VERY high profile case in this state, the murder on the capital steps of a very important public official. After the case which the State won, Sarah told me there was SO MUCH EVIDENCE that could NOT be used because of procedural rules, the particular judge and the failure of police to properly gather the evidence.
Earlier in the thread someone noted that there was also evidence in this case that could not be used. I recall watching the judge make ruling after ruling that seemed to thwart the defense and help the prosecution.
As to the usual “FOX NEWS” and the GOP as the evil twins, didn’t you also forget the Koch Brothers when targeting organizations that have absolutely no bearing on this case.
I feel like we are swatting flies but they keep coming back and buzzing around no matter how many times their argument are whacked apart

The White Americans who are racist, which is not an insignificant number (still). Their re-definition of G-d in their mind is designed to justify their prejudiced attitudes and discriminatory behaviors.
Come on, MB, that’s pretty vague. We can bicker about how small the number is now, but you know that it’s a fringe viewpoint; no Christian denomination supports racism. The best thing we can do is ignore both hate groups and race baiters, as they use tragedies like this to blame each other, when the reality is that they don’t represent anyone except for their hurtful causes.
I don’t think the Professor means denominations, Christian or otherwise, but individuals who have prejudiced attitudes, some of which they may be rather unaware of. One can be racist privately without being outspoken or advertising it, as well as rationalize one’s racist attitudes by means of moral values. She doesn’t believe this group of people is a fringe element, and neither do I. George Zimmerman, his words and his behavior, are not an anomaly.
In my opinion Eric Holder is a racist and a scandal-a-day disgrace to his office. Please don’t put stock in what he says; please consider:
If these silently racist people’s feelings are not outwardly vocalized then how can you estimate their number?
By the words and reactions I hear everyday and the words and reactions I read in print. Of course, when pressured, most people will deny they are racist, as they are not members of hate groups. But there are subtle cues which abound.
I’m very sorry you sense such animus, but I stand my position that it is a fringe viewpoint. Either way, God bless, I’m off to bed. Prayers for Trayvon, his family, and for George Zimmerman.
Is that the same attorney general whose fast and furious guns got a lot of innocent Mexican teens killed in a massacre in Juarez?? That Eric Holder?? foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/01/report-claims-to-have-found-57-more-guns-tied-to-operation-fast-and-furious/
??? what words? I hope his behavior isn’t an anomaly. I thought his advocating for the homeless black man who was beaten up by a policeman’s relative was admirable, I hope more folks are like that. His tutoring youth including blacks, I hope that isn’t an anomaly either. His willingness to help out and try make his neighborhood a better place, assisting that woman after going through the trauma of a hot prowl burglary with her children and only a pair of scissors to defend herself with.
