I think you are correct that the case has been poisoned.

this case has not been poisoned any more than any number of high profile cases. His attorney may regret having said as much as he has, because if this guy ever goes to trial any evidence contrary to his claims will be very damning.

What the President said has absolutely no bearing on the case whatsoever and attempts to mischaracterize it are purely partisan claptrap.

Any marketing value that might exist should naturally go to the Job-Creators. It's beyond bad taste for nobodies to profit from the death of their nobody relatives; if that sort of precedence is set, they'll be lining up to partake in the gravy train.

TR,

I'm surrounded by "those kids" five days a week ! I hear what they say and know how they think (if that's what you might call it ). Based upon years of experience I would bet a lot on my assessment of Martin's eventual end . He wasn't in Sandford by choice but by necessity as a result of his own actions. His wearing of a "hoodie" - a prominent gang marker - in a warm climate speaks volumes to me.

Of more interest is, where's the "moral outrage" on the part(s) of the ilk of Jackson/Sharpton/NBPP/ etc, regarding the 17 deaths/day of black upon black as recorded in the UCR ? Where's the "moral outrage" over the Tyson case where a black FL teen gunned down two British tourists ? Or, perhaps more germane to the Martin/Zimmerman case, where was the "racist outrage" when a black man left his home and shot a white perp breaking into his car parked on the street in a suburb of Newburgh NYS in 2009 ?

Or is only diatribes against the conservative viewpoint valid ? My subsidiary comments to the post you responded were deem "racist" byp the censor. I might opine fascism is also censorship - with a vile purpose - and telling me to "Shut Up" contravenes the founding philosophy of this board. >Mech

Police Video

A police surveillance video taken the night that Trayvon Martin was shot dead shows no blood or bruises on George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who says he shot Martin after he was punched in the nose, knocked down and had his head slammed into the ground.

George isn't as heavy set as most of the picture show him to be.

But in any case, after looking at the video on the above link...don't know. To me... Zimmerman didn't appeared to me that he was had been in any physical confrontation.

"those kids"?

fascism?

vile purpose?

"Shut Up"?

Mech:

Your very use of "those kids" speaks volumes to one who would listen.

I have no idea where fascism enters into this, nor do I have any idea why fascism is censorship.

A vile purpose to censorship?

This web site belongs to a private individual, by the name of Doug Thompson. There are a few things he will not tolerate here, and racist remarks is one of them.

I as a Ranter did not tell you to "Shut Up." All I did was ask you to remove a patently racist, extremely offensive, remark. Which, by the way, while you altered it, remained offensive, just as your reference to "those kids" is offensive, not to mention the snide "if that's what you might call it" parenthetical remark.
