William Shakespeare's Thoughts on the George Zimmerman verdict:

[Aristus]

"He might infect another
And make him of like spirit to himself."

Henry VI, Part III, Act V, Scene 4, Lines 46-47.

"Down, down to hell; and say I sent thee thither."

Ibid, Scene 6, Line 67.

"How absolute the knave is."

Hamlet, Act V, Scene 1, Line 33.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Oh, too good, my dear Aristus!

Unlike the verdict, I hasten to add.

Thank you for these very literate quotes!

My regards to Will, as always...

[Aristus]

4. Will says:

"Pegeen, lass! Oceans of love to you, dearest. And cataracts of sorrow on this black day. Something is indeed rotten in the State Of Many Flowers."

[dballance]

2. I like those quotes from Shakespeare

Especially:
"He might infect another
And make him of like spirit to himself."

I fear this will "infect" others an embolden them to do something similar.

Also, I really want to smack that smile off his face. Guilty or not, he still killed an innocent person.

[DonCoquixote]

3. and how can you forget

First thing we do, KILL ALL THE LAWYERS!"

[PM Martin]

5. K AND R!

[Bombero1956]

6. may I add

O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!
My tables—meet it is I set it down
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain—
At least I am sure it may be so in Denmark.

Hamlet Act 1, scene 5, 105–109

[Aristus]

7. Yes, you may. And thank you.

I thought about that one. It seemed very apt.

[In_The_Wind]

8. Well done

[love_katz]

9. Infect is right...

I am afraid.

You and Will are on it, I see.

I would like to see the second line become true...by express elevator.

[Kennah]

10. A few more

"Look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under it."

"Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?"

"By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes."

"What's done cannot be undone."

"These violent delights have violent ends."
