RandySF's JournalGeraldo Rivera: Hoodie To Blame For Trayvon Martin’s Death (VIDEO)
Geraldo Rivera said Friday that Trayvon Martin might not have been shot dead by George Zimmerman if he hadn’t been wearing a hoodie.
Rivera told his colleagues at Fox and Friends that he thought Zimmerman “should be investigated to the fullest extent of the law and if he is criminally liable, he should be prosecuted.” But he also said there was another culprit in the 17-year-old’s death: his choice of clothing.
“I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death as George Zimmerman was,” Rivera explained.
“What’s the instant association? It’s crime scene surveillance tapes. Every time you see someone stick up a 7-11, the kid is wearing a hoodie. Every time you see a mugging on a surveillance camera or get the old lady in the alcove, it’s kid with a hoodie,” Rivera continued.

Right wing is throwing Zimmerman under the bus to protect "Stand Your Ground".
Don't be surprised to fooled by the "outrage" being expressed by Hannity and his right wing cohorts over the death of Treyvon Martin. Had Zimmerman not been busted by the 911 tape and Treyvon's cell phone records, they would say nothing or smear a 17 year-old kid. They are throwing him under the bus so they can protect "Stand Your Ground" laws. It was obvious when Marco Rubio and other Republican argued (correctly, I should say) that the shooter might not even be able to use it as a defense. Regardless, they don't care about the kid. They care about protecting their guns.
Has any Republican spoken out on the Trayvon Martin shooting?
Rick Scott ordered an investigation and RMoney is running away from it as fast as he can. Has ANY other Republican spoken out one way or the other?
"Restore some semblance of calm"?
So the Sanford Chief of Police believes that everyone is just worked up and he wants to "calm people down" by stepping away from the investigation. He doesn't care about establishing a sense of CONFIDENCE in the Sanford PD??? This guy needs to go.
After watching BBC's 'Being Human', I can never go back to 'True Blood'
The series in about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost who live under the same rood. Not every vampire is rich and drop-dead gorgeous. Not every were is a biker. It's well-scripted and well-acted with great music in every episode. True Blood feels so shallow after watching Season One of Being Human.
Texas Democratic State Sen. Wendy Davis’ Fort Worth Office Firebombed
FORT WORTH — Police are trying to identify the man who entered the West 7th office of State Sen. Wendy Davis Tuesday afternoon and threw two firebombs just outside the door.
Two staffers were in the third floor office when the attack occurred around 4 o'clock. One of them had to leap over the flames to escape, then went to the break room, grabbed an extinguisher and put out the fire.
Investigators said Sen. Davis was not in the office at the time of the incident, but was at her law office closer to downtown Fort Worth.
A staffer told News 8 the Democratic lawmaker was alerted about what happened and that security at Davis' other local office was tightened as a result.

IL vote shows a HUGE divide between rural and suburban counties.
Rmoney must have won the state on suburban turnout because he getting his clock cleaned downstate by Man-on-Dog. The vote percentages are total mirror opposites.
Before we start bashing Mormons this year, let me say this.
Mitt Rmoney is an asshole not because he is Mormon, but because he is an asshole. I've gotten to know many member of the LDS over the years. Some are Democrats, some are Republicans. Some are good friends of the GLBT community and others are very far to the right. But the one thing they all had in common is that they were among the kindest people you will ever meet, including my son's afterschool teacher. So I hope that, when we go after Rmoney, we do so based on WHO he is, not WHAT he is.
