Ninga's JournalCan a moment, generate a movement?
How long will we sit on the sidelines, wringing our hands, wiping away tears....chanting "ain't it awful, ain't it awful!" ?
If there is to be a movement, all of us will need to put skin in the game and show up.
If not now? When? What ELSE needs to happen? The gains of our LGBT brethren although promising, is not enough to make us go back into our tents.
I will stay tuned to DU, refuse to watch the talking heads, reach out to my local liberal/progressive network, and prepare to sacrifice my free time, my energy, my presence, as needed.
Are you in?
I am a white grandmother, and Trayvon is a child of my heart. I mourn all over again,
because it feels like he was killed a second time.
2 Jury members do not know that they will be dismissed,
because in Fla alternates are disclosed, and during the trial jury members do not know which are alternates.
"Me thinks the man talks too much" I will leave it to DU to decide what that means....hope damn
well the jury thought so.....
I'm no attorney, but disagree w/attorney Lisa Bloom (MSNBC) who wasn't nuts about
Bernie's closing because he asked questions.
Bernie impeached Z's testimony by using Z's own words and was able to demonstrate Z had prior intent.
Zimmerman's attorney, when addressing Trayvon's mother, says the word "apologize."
He apologizes to her for the loss of her son....trying to mitigate Zimmerman's answers to Hannity that were played for the jury this past week. Zimmerman when asked by Hannity, said he had no regrets, wouldn't change events of that night.
Reaaly? It's not the defense attorney who should express remorse, and I hope the prosecution makes that fact very clear in the closing statement.
Personally, I wonder why Sanford Dective Serino is no longer a dective,but now
a uniformed officer working the mid-night shift?
Per Kerry Sanders, reporting from MSNBC from Sanford Fla.
Big high powered attorney is no match for the young, can-only-read typed print,
has difficulties with cursive, scared, and clearly on the stand waaaay too long is becoming more and more sympathetic..as jury watches this badgering...
Now it's getting ugly - he really badgering her big time about her demeanor and if she knew this was a racially charged event....
Pleased dear God let her prevail!
It's been a long time, but just for the heck of it I am going to buy a box of Cheerios.
In fact, I think I will buy 4 or 5 and give them away to neighbors and my grand-kiddles.
So there.
