Juror B37 On CNN Has Me Fuming Right Now....

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

What a biased, ignorant, right-wing hack....

George Zimmerman had a "good heart"!?!? Are you serious!? He "helped out a neighbor lady", making them feel more secure. He was probably helping some old white lady feel safer because they shared a sentiment that "they" (African-Americans) we're posing a "threat" to their safe little community.

"He had a right to defend himself!?" What about Trayvon's right to defend HIMSELF!?

I'm also getting a little tired of the right wing sentiment that only blacks are defending Trayvon, partly perpetrated by the media. I'm watching this interview with the rest of my white, middle class family and we are ready to go out and start protesting! This is the epitome of injustice!

[onpatrol98]

1. I know, right...

This woman bullied the others. That's my guess. She's crying crocodile tears.

[Duer 157099]

2. Yeah, and she thinks George has learned his lesson!

George himself told Hannity that HE WOULD NOT CHANGE A THING. That doesn't sound like someone who has learned anything! Except how to get away with murder.

She said she would be comfortable with him running around her neighborhood with a gun "as long as he doesn't go too far." WTF? WTH dose she consider TOO FAR???

This woman is completely clueless.

[madaboutharry]

5. She actually called him Georgie

a couple of times in her interview with Anderson Cooper.

[Skittles]

7. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[madaboutharry]

10. Listen carefully if you hear

a replay of what was broadcast tonight. She called him Georgie.

[stranger81]

21. Jesus.

Like a member of the family.

[HiPointDem]

53. maybe she knows him.

[noiretextatique]

65. i had that same thought...and

something fishy about this jury.

[ReRe]

31. Do you remembrer that song?

"Hey There, Georgie Girl." When I heard one of the witnesses call him "Georgie," a red flag went up. Sounds like they thought of him as a "pet." A "child." a "teddy bear." Who on earth calls a man "Georgie"? WTF? I have a yellow tabby cat named "George", and I call him with the Spanish pronunciation of the name, but never "Georgie".

[ksoze]

58. Have your hearing checked pronto

wishful hearing - she called both of them by their first name.

[stranger81]

18. I'm afraid he might have learned his lesson.

Except that the lesson was that he can stalk and kill underage black males with impunity.

Hell, he can even do it with the same gun.

[TDale313]

34. Too many others will have learned that lesson, too.

It not just Zimmerman being freed that makes this so dangerous. It's all the others like him who will be emboldened by this verdict. Wanna get away with murder in Florida? Claim self defense, make sure there are no witnesses, and preferably be a white male.

If you're a black woman, however, you can get 20 years for firing a warning shot that hits NO ONE to frighten off your abusive estranged husband.

[HockeyMom]

61. No duty to try to retreat

is morphing into you HAVE a duty to SYG in Florida because it feeds the gun culture. Wild West.

[stranger81]

20. "too far," I'm guessing, would mean

interrogating or harming a white person. As long as its just the "colored boys" he keeps an eye (and a gunsight) on.

[ReRe]

26. Seriously!

"...learned his lesson." she sounds like she felt sorry for him. Like he was the younger, and Trayvon was elder! "..as long as he didn't go to far..." about carrying a gun? WTF?????

From this time forward, I'm referring to the 6 jurors as the
"Sanford Wives" from AfredFuckingHitchcockville.!

[dusty trails]

32. "as long as he doesn't go too far"

She means --> He can shoot and kill someone. That's OK.
But she doesn't want him to carry a hatchet and chop the body up. THAT would be going too far.

[LiberalFighter]

67. She isn't clueless

She is deranged.

[bigdarryl]

3. Her mind was already made up

She claims it wasn't about race but then makes statements about Trayvon as far as profiling she's one of these right wing white woman who I bet doesn't even associate with African Americans

[blue cat]

4. me too!

I felt dizzy for a moment because I was so mad.

[davidpdx]

6. I caught the beginning and the end

due to having to go somewhere. In a way I'm glad I didn't see much more because I think I would have had the same reaction.

Zimmerman's parents were interviewed on ABC and said they, their son, and their whole family are living in fear. They said they can't go back to their house and that they have lost everything. I felt that was a little disingenuous given Martin lost even more, his life.

[MH1]

9. Yeah, I'm not crying at all about Z living in fear.

Too bad he didn't own up that he made a mistake and take the punishment. He could have begged forgiveness and promised to work toward being a better person when he got out of prison. Anyone has the potential for redemption and that was there for him too. But he pissed on it.

[johnnyrocket]

24. Yep. He called the whole thing "God's will". This asshole has a complex.

[jtuck004]

17. "...they, their son, and their whole family are living in fear". This is just the beginning...

Actually everyone involved in that lynching should keep an eye on their back.

And I hope, if they need the services of a jury, they are treated better than they treated Trayvon. But I wouldn't bet on it.

[JustAnotherGen]

54. What self centered

Little narcissists they are. They need to shut their filthy mouths and go away already.

[RobertEarl]

8. Sounds like she perjured herself

Or is about to. Obviously she did not go into the jury box with an open mind with intent to see justice done.

I have a feeling she is digging herself a nice public grave.

[mzmolly]

11. His defense opened up character and the prosecution appeared to sleep through it.

Why didn't they bring in rebuttal witnesses? He's been accused of assaulting a cop, a cousin, and an x.

[Cha]

12. The "media" Musta missed those white arms in Union Square and all across America

13. Of all the people I have seen be interviewed that were supportive of Trayvon...

All of them have been black....

Message to the media: There are MANY white people, including myself, who were squarely on the side of the Martin family and justice.

[ReRe]

40. Thank you, Cha!

What a great picture (the top one) to prove the point that it's not only black folks who supported Trayvon. (I seen or heard some idiot in the last day or two that said it was only blacks protesting.) Last night as the pictures started showing up, it was the first words from my mouth... "look at all the white folks! Yes!!!!!" As time has passed since Saturday night, there is a furor in this land. People can NOT believe the verdict. No matter WHAT color their skin is!

[Blue Owl]

14. Juror furor is spreading quickly

n/t

[johnnyrocket]

15. I'm more stunned than mad. How could such a incredibly biased person serve

Jury duty? I wouldn't want this person adjudicating a traffic ticket.

She sounds like the George Zimmerman public relations press conference spokesperson.

What on earth was that? The screwiest juror interview I have ever heard. Idiotic, highly biased, ignorant and irrational logic throughout.

To top it off she sounds like she's really fond of Georgie.

Wow!

[Justitia]

37. Agreed. She sounded smitten. I felt ill listening to her.

She sets him free on Saturday, then has a CNN interview & book deal by Monday.

What a piece of shit.

[FarPoint]

56. I have to share....

during deliberations by the jury...I never factored in the arrogant, close mindedness factor of these women.

I just served on a criminal jury of 12 back in March. I visioned their experience with mine. Boy, that was naive of me.......

[Tumbulu]

38. She sounded idiotic- just unbelievable and I am stunned as well

but angry that she was chosen as a juror.

[ReRe]

41. I'm glad you have the nerve to listen to the interview...

... I just can't bring myself to do it. Afraid I will crash my TV and start a fire. I am learning about it all second hand, little by little. Like taking nasty medicine... a little at a time.

[johnnyrocket]

42. I had every intention to listen to the interview to get insight on the process...

Instead I was introduced to the inanity, ignorance and insanity of nonsense and extreme bias that was: juror B37.

This woman did the complete OPPOSITE of deliberating, she sounded like she wanted to get the thing overwith, and get to the not guilty, already.

What recklessness, what danger a jury can bring to the justice system.

[ReRe]

47. What I want to know is.....

.... who is going to write the book on the public's reaction to "Juror B37"? I wonder if she knows how the majority of the people thinks about her? That woman lives in a bubble. In. A. Bubble.
Whoever write it, they should call it "Juror B37". That's the one that's going to sell like hot cakes.

[JDPriestly]

16. And today my very elderly white mother told me she was very upset about the Trayvon Martin trial.

She may be a great-grandmother, but some of her grandchildren are not altogether white. She said she did not want her white grandson who is almost Trayvon's age to be out on the street at night.

This is not a race thing. (She did not mention race.) This is an age thing. I cannot imagine what those women were thinking. Who wants Zimmerman out on the street? I certainly don't.

I'm with Stevie Wonder. No way I will ever go to Florida until they change the stand your ground law and require a person who is attacked outside his home to retreat when possible.

[kas125]

27. My dad was 83 when he died last October. He was heartbroken over Trayvon's killing; he had biracial

great grandkids, too. I'm almost glad he didn't live to see that verdict.

[johnnyrocket]

19. Trayvon was acting suspiciously.

She said. Because he was walking through the back.

Also she said: Even if he was Chinese or Spanish, George would be on watch for them.


What the fuck????????

[stranger81]

22. Don't suppose she included whites or caucasians on the list of folks

good-hearted Georgie would have been on the lookout for . . . .

[johnnyrocket]

23. Um, first off. Who says Chinese or Spanish?

It would be Asian, or hell I don't know, did she mean Spaniard? Heh, I know, Hispanic. This woman sounds like an idiot.

[TeeYiYi]

29. Surprised she didn't call them Orientals. ..nt

TYY

[stranger81]

39. Doesn't have the sense to be ashamed of herself. [n/t]

[LiberalFighter]

68. It shows her level of education.

[DURHAM D]

28. How in the world would she know what George was doing?

It was not part of the trial testimony. She lied to get on the jury.

[tavalon]

25. White as snow here, and female and furious, absolutely furious.

I was furious when Zimmerman murdered Trayvon and he got away with murder. I wish him no peace nor comfort in life. He threw that away along with his white privilege the day he went hunting a human. Bag limit is zero, end of story. You don't get to kill our children and then live a comfortable life, you scum of the earth. I grew up less than 60 miles from you and I know the kind of scum you are.

[PsychGrad]

30. Me too -

I couldn't watch her or listen to her. A friend posted transcripts and I got as far as "because George said so" and wanted to throttle an old woman. So, I left it. There HAS to be a way to right this - there just has to be. This jury was a joke apparently. The whole thing was a joke - just to appease the masses who wanted a trial. Fucking Florida. Fucking racists. GRRRRRR...

[BlueJazz]

33. I've seen that Bullshit all day long also.

Every time our local ShitNews stations show the Martin supporters...they are black...MAYBE one white person in the cropped scene.
Sons-a-bitches !

[dusty trails]

35. Is this the juror ?

I hear one of the jurors has signed a contract to write a book about the Zimmerman jury.

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

36. Yes, this was the same juror....

[johnnyrocket]

43. Twitter rumors that the book deal is dead. Because of this interview.

Interesting.

[JustAnotherGen]

55. I hope so

We already know what would be in it. Now there is no need for her nonsense.

[KauaiK]

44. Here Here...count this white grandma in!

[KauaiK]

45. Here Here...count this white grandma in!

[KauaiK]

46. Count this white grandma in for protesting

[SleeplessinSoCal]

48. Check out Decision number 5 that would've saved Trayvon - from HuffingtonPost

5. Zimmerman could have been barred from carrying a weapon.

Zimmerman had a long history of violence, including a restraining order for domestic violence, felony charges of resisting arrest, and assaulting an officer (the charge was pled down to a misdemeanor and then closed; Zimmerman's dad was a magistrate at the time). He was bounced from a job as a bouncer for being too aggressive with patrons, the New York Daily News reported. And a family member accused him of a pattern of sexual molestation. He wasn't convicted of any felony charges, which could have barred him from a gun license, but in some societies, people would determine that such a history makes someone less than an ideal candidate for the right to carry around a hidden loaded weapon.

[BellaKos]

49. You know, I wonder

Given how the prosecution was treated not only in jury selection and other matters, was the judge the closet racist that we should be looking at?

[SwissTony]

50. How exactly did Juror B37 know about GZ's alleged good deed?

Was it raised during the trial or did she have pre-knowledge (which would presumably disqualify her from jury duty)?

[ksoze]

59. Defense witness at trial

[SwissTony]

64. Thank you. n/t

[rightsideout]

51. I saw that and felt like tossing the TV out the window.

When she did blame Zimmerman she blamed Trayvon at the same time. She never once gave Trayvon the benefit of the doubt. And notice how quickly she said "not guilty" when asked how she voted.

She's nothing but a right-wing hack like you said.

I hope she's outed and her life is made miserable.

[orleans]

52. i don't understand why the court didn't tell the jurors they could NOT profit from this case

ie: writing a book.

[WinkyDink]

63. Because it isn't the law, is why.

[ZRT2209]

57. I will say it. Bitch.

[Heywood J]

60. Let her talk.

Every time she does, the evidence piles up for the appeal.

[zeeland]

69. +1

[WinkyDink]

62. "Defending himself" is THE BIG LIE THE JURY BOUGHT.

[SeaLyons]

66. She is completely oblivious ...

and has no idea how racist her comments were. She is the right wing. No empathy, no insight....just complete stupidity.
