I heard a woman on the radio yesterday say that they bussed in the SEIU.
This got me thinking about how lines are being drawn.

You guys keep your SA up.

I was just driving to the Post Office to drop off a few shipments for the company. During my 5 minute commute over there I was listening to Gainesville/Ocala's 97.3 The Sky "Drive Time Happy Hour". A news report came on as usual and the reporter relayed a story from Gainesville. The story went something like this:

Yesterday (Wednesday 4/11/12) a white woman's purse was snatched from her by a black man in the Bo Diddley Plaza in Gainesville, FL. The white man who was with her tackled the perp. A crowd surrounded them and in mob fashion started to chant "TRAYVON! TRAYVON! TRAYVON!" Even though there were dozens of witnesses to what had happened and the white man was trying to explain why he tackled the black man, the mob was still chanting and even stomping on the white man's hands.

So I get back to the office and try to find this story online. I cannot find it anywhere. This has me smoking hot. It has gone way too far. The whites are not the racists in this Trayvon/Zimmerman stuff.

They are now claiming that the reason that Zimmerman was charged is that he was "profiling" Martin.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/george-zimmerman-charged-2nd-degree-murder-trayvon-martin-143832017.html

Is it even illegal for a private citizen to "profile" another individual based on his appearance and behavior?

Doesn't everyone do that day in and day out?

I realize they are attempting to sow the seeds of "intent" behind Zimmerman's actions that night, but "profiling"?

The States probable cause affidavit reads like it was drafted by the NBC producer that got fired for doctoring the tape.


Harvard Prof. Alan Dershowitz: Zimmerman Arrest Affidavit ‘Irresponsible And Unethical’

From what Dershowitz said, it sounds like all Zimmerman will need to have the charge dismissed is for his case to come before an ethical judge who will impartially apply the law.

Previous to the indictment, I believed Angela Corey to be an honest public servant, though after listening to the pandering "campaign speech" she gave when she announced the second degree murder charge, I now know otherwise.

IMO, the worst outrage of any that a government can perpetrate against the people is to conduct political arrests and trials against its citizens; it's the mark of tyranny.

Our self defense laws were written to protect the crime victim from a rabid media and political pressure, as well as politically minded prosecutions and idiotic, pliable minded jurors.

I honestly didn't know what to believe in this matter, but because the media has poisoned any available information; I'm going to go with what Dershowitz has said.

I am disappointed in Angela Corey to the point of disgust; idiot that I am, I honestly believed our system was better, and that she in particular, would abide by the law.


With a fraudulent affadivit of probable cause, the prosecution of Zimmerman is a perversion of both the law and justice as well.

I threw this out in GD, but play along for a minute while I spring my " Conspiracy Theory" on you.

I'm considering the possibility that the affadavit, and charges are intentionally weak and over reaching.

Angela Corey was tasked by Gov. Scott to resolve this and make it go away. It is a huge, festering boil on the state, ready to explode. It needs to be diffused.

How do you do that? You cannot simply not charge the man. There are millions of people emotionally vested in seeing him charged, convinced he commited murder. They are stupid and wrong, but still there, and vocal. They must be answered to be quieted.

So you charge Zimmerman. You charge him with a ridiculous, over reaching MURDER charge, backed by a weak affadavit filled with baseless, unprovable, nonsense, just like Al Sharpton axed you too. They got what they wanted, a win, their protests succeeded, Their voice was heard, Zimmerman was arrested and charged with murder.

Unproveable charges. Manslaughter, negligent homicide, they might have been able to prove. Murder 2? No way. Profileing? Thats not even a crime.

Everything I've read says that Corey is a smart, no nonsense, apolitical go getter. I don't se her suddenly becoming stupid. I think she is the fox in the henhouse, running a stage show for Govenor Scott. The media will get their circus. The people will be vindicated. Trayvon s family will have their day in court.

George Zimmerman will be aquitted by a jury of his peers, and be stuck with lawyers fees for bringing this mess on us all.

And in the future, Governor Scott, Sanford officials, the State of Florida, and law enforcement will be able to point and say" we did everything you asked, Zimmerman was brought to trial and we are not responsible for the jury's decision"

And then they can righteously stomp any further protests.

Just speculation. I could be wrong.

But how would you handle this poiwder keg if you were in charge?

Under no circumstances would I put a man on trial for his freedom to satisfy a mob.

Or break him down even though I know there is no evidence that he has broken the law.

Never.

You think the media driven, racist mob and anti self defense minded liberals will be satisfied if a judge tosses the charge, or if Zimmerman is acquitted by a jury?

What's next, tell the judge the "fix is in" and Zimmerman must facd a trial regardless of the fact there is no tangible evidence that he broke any laws?

Our laws are intended to shield individuals from frivolous prosecution for defending themselves, and according to Alan Dershowitz, this is a clear case of frivolous prosecution.

1. Angela Corey's speech started out like she was accepting an Academy Award. She spent so long thanking everyone who put her in the spotlight, I almost forgot what the speech was supposed to be about. She looked like it was the happiest day of her life. My interpretation is that she is nothing more than an aspiring politician who just jump-started her next campaign.

2. I really, really hope that she DOES have some type of "smoking-gun" evidence (like an eye-witness that saw more than the one who went public did) that has not yet been released. It's the only way to justify the charge she has brought.

3. The affidavit makes several assumptions that she better have some proof to back up.

a. Martin was attempting to "run home" when GZ began his pursuit. (he was likely "doubling-back" on GZ to confront him, a common thug technique to get the first sucker punch, which would also corroborate GZ's testimony)

b. GZ was "profiling" TM. Every single "suspicious person" call is a case of profiling. "Profiling" is nothing more that a liberal epithet for the very common human instinct that we usually refer to as "first impression," and is not a crime.

c. GZ disregarded the dispatcher and continued to follow TM. I was under the impression that GZ testified that he lost TM, and when told "we don't need you to do that", he stopped looking for him and was returning to his vehicle.

d. GZ confronted TM. Again, GZ's testimony was that he was confronted by TM while returning to his vehicle, not the other way around.

e. TM's mother identified the voice on the tape. I read that she initially told police that she COULD NOT IDENTIFY the voice, and only after the hoopla started did she change her story and said it MIGHT be TM. (an actual EYE-WITNESS testified that it was GZ crying for help, but let's ignore him and validate the grieving mother's CHANGED STORY.)

4. Corey's use of terms like "justice for Trayvon" (justice is blind, and should not be "for" anyone), and referring to him as the "victim" (we won't know who the "victim" was until after the trial) , totally disregard the concept of "innocent until PROVEN guilty."

5. This case is a witch-hunt and the charges have so little merit that the trial will be a FARCE. This is clearly a case of mob-rule and sets a very dangerous precedent. Public opinion (including my own) should have ZERO bearing on the application of law.

6. This whole situation is a lose-lose for FL. If GZ is acquitted, then the media will brand us as the state that lets murderers go free, a-la Casey Anthony. If he is found guilty then the whole concept of our RIGHT to self-defense will be under attack by those who feel that Americans are not responsible enough to defend ourselves, and must be herded like sheep for protection from predators.

7. Keep in mind that the burden-of-proof is on the state. They will have to PROVE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT that GZ was NOT defending himself at the time the shot was fired. GZ has to prove NOTHING. Without an eye-witness to testify that they saw GZ approach and confront TM first, the state has a very difficult case.

8. Both side of this issue are equally guilty of jumping to conclusions (including myself). But those on the side of GZ at least have some corroborating testimony from actual witnesses. I hope I'm wrong about all of the above, and that there is evidence to support Corey's charge, but I doubt it.

9. Traditional American values such as personal responsibility/accountability, liberty, personal freedom, and most of all independence. are under attack. The "dumb-masses" (thanks Neil) have taken over and will not stop until we are all again "loyal SUBJECTS" to the crown/government. It saddens me that there are so many in this country who feel so poorly of their own abilities that they are willing to let others dictate their lives and freedoms. What is wrong with the people in this country? Where have all the MEN gone? We are becoming a nation of children who must be nursed from the government teat to survive.

10. It seems like ALL of our leaders representatives, on BOTH sides of the aisle, just make one wrong decision after another. This starts at the top and goes all the way down to the local level. The dumb-masses are in charge and they are being led straight to a life of total dependecy. The democratic philosophy of "majority rule", has been supplanted by the notion that the majority should suffer so the minority will stop bitching. (for those of you who are idiots, I'm talking about political and economic majority/minority, not race)

I've never "hoped to be wrong" as much as I have in the last few years.

They couldn't ignore it for long Link Here

Tragic ammo for Zimmermans defense.

Hmmm.

I drew a blank(page)

Interesting.

Wonder how it's all going to play out.
