I would think that this alone would convince most anyone that the circus is in town and the clowns are the ringmaster.

The best I remember, this was a local problem which was pretty much settled, until the DOJ stuck their noses in it, as, IMHO, a blatant attempt to interject not only the various aspects of gun control, but race as well into the public discourse during an election year. And the media, including Faux News, were more than happy to oblige them.

As always, feel free to correct me. But try to do so in a rational manner, inferring that I'm no more than ignorant, coon hunting redneck bastard isn't what I would call correcting the issue, even less a viable argument.

I freely admit, I may well be in error as to what actually happened that night as I was not there. And I hope that justice is served, even if the hang "Zippy" by the balls. Then again, if it is determined that "Zippy" was innocent all along, and was dragged through this disgraceful process of a show trial, I hope he sues everybody and their dog...right down on the line. And wins.

After all, "Zippy" should be afforded justice as well as Trayvon should.

I see that as only fair. Much as I see anyone who gets all bent out of shape and begins to froth at the mouth over this dog and pony show as being played for a fool. Actually, I'm a fool as well, for expending over 15 seconds of my time and energy into this particular discussion.

Well, those few sentences should make me about as popular as the herpes.

Fox is definitely infotainment, MSNBC isn't a whole lot better but at least they're showing a lot of the trial live with the occaisional break to sell soap. The other networks, CNN, ABC, CBS etc. haven't impressed me with their coverage of anything for years. I prefer to get my news from WaPo or the LATimes because I can at least read it and re read it a few times, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.
I'm happy with the attention this case has received because without Rev. Al and others, this punk Zimmerman would be still walking around Sanford strapped and feeling more entitled to accost anyone he felt was "suspicious".

Let LEO's do their job. IMO concealed carry permits should be very hard to get. You should have to show that someone is actively threatening you or you need to be strapped for your job, i.e. you're carrying large sums of cash or someone's security guard. Now we have any paranoid knucklehead with a chip on their shoulder strapped. It's crazy. Remember that idiot on the subway in NYC?
