Take it with a grain of salt. The source is infowars after all. But some have said it would be better to find Zimmerman guilty, even if he's innocent, just to avoid riots. I don't understand the logic in that. Find an innocent man guilty to prevent people from breaking the law.
I made good overtime during the LA riots...

TM got out of sight and hid. At this point, GZ was no longer "following". Coming out of hiding, TM then ambushed and viciously attacked GZ who was legally occupying a piece of land that he's has a right to occupy.
This chain of events seems to be corroborated by even the state's witnesses, including TM's friend, although she didn't realize that she unintentionally told this story by explaining when TM suddenly got out of breath (running to get out of view) and then began whispering (hiding) before confronting GZ.
GZ may not have been wise, although I personally have no problems with his actions, but that's still not grounds for being attacked.
There was no crime committed until GZ was attacked and the sidewalk was used as a deadly weapon against him. Once this crime was committed, he defended himself with deadly force.

Don't start none and there won't be none.
Hey I only start riots when people get between me and good queso.

Andrew Braca, the Massachusetts self defense lawyer who is blogging about the Zimmerman trial, has a great post about the justifications for use of deadly force in self defense and how the ultimate degree of harm GZ suffered is beside the point.
I especially enjoy this line about the prosecutors' tactics on even attempting to point out the supposed lack of severity of GZ's injuries:
... if the facts are on your side pound the facts, if the law is on your side pound the law, and if neither is on your side, pound the table.

Should we expect someone to take off their shoe, pound it on the table, and say "we will bury you" soon?

The prosecution pounded on the table (with his fist) last week.
By the way, it seems now we have TWO people as witnesses that can't read cursive!

FYI but cursive is no longer taught in many school districts.

I was just making a joke that the interviewing female cop had great difficulty in reading GZ's handwritten statement. And comparing that to Jenteel's statement that she can't read (or write) cursive. Maybe they both went to the same high school?

Did they just remove someone from the courtroom?

CNN just put G Zimmerman's Soc Sec and DOB on the "air." It's as if they want him killed if acquitted.

Can he sue them for identity theft? This is getting ridiculous. CNN wants a lynching....they need to be held legally and criminally responsible for any mischief that goes on as a result of this.

Considering they are playing what the prosecution put up, don't know.

Not unless they actively use his identity. That sure is bad form though...
Besides, for what this trial is going to cost Zimmerman, he'll be left with less than $0.00 even if he does get acquitted...
