will you apologize if it turns out the guy was actually acting in self defense? That’s what the people in charge of deciding whether he should be charged have found. But you apparently know better.

Huh?? What a disgrace. Maybe you want to portray them with their pants halfway-down their buttocks as well? Come on. You’re so blinded by your agenda that you don’t see that your standing up for the wrong people.

One Federalist, One Democratic-Republican, and two Republicans, all would have supported true “self defense”, none would have supported vigilante justice. Two were warriors, two were not, but all DID know what “stand your ground” meant with regard to principle. Two slave owners, two repulsed by the concept. None supported “corporations as people”, though all were wealthy and eventually of “privilege” whether inherited, or earned. All were involved in controversy, which was what made them “leaders”?

You mean women? It’s a cinch that the GOP is not trying to appeal to them.

According to gocomics, Steve Benson is of the same political leaning as Chuck Asay, Lisa Benson, Glenn McCoy, and Michael Ramirez, but none of those seem to be drawing Mt Rushmore with hoodies, so what is Steve getting at? I’m sure Gocomics would never lead us astray.

About that apparent booking photo of Zimmerman in the orange jumpsuit.

prosecution is preparing for charges against this idiot. feds are preparing charges against the local pd, zimmerman, and local prosecutor.

Just for the record, the detective in charge of the Trayvon Martin investigation thought Zimmerman should be charged with manslaughter…but the State prosecutor’s office overruled him.
The police also insisted upon questioning Zimmerman before allowing him to have any medical attention. Why would they do that, if he was as badly beaten up as he’s claiming now?

Also, I looked up the rumor that Zimmerman’s father is retired judge. There’s absolutely nothing to confirm it on any credible news source, so I’m filing this one under ‘urban legend.’
