Geraldo Rivera: Zimmerman Jurors Would Have Shot And Killed Trayvon Martin Sooner Than Zimmerman Did
Posted by Ellen -512.60pc on July 12, 2013

This morning on Fox & Friends, Geraldo Rivera didn’t just think Zimmerman should be acquitted, he gave his personal stamp of approval on the shooting death of “hoodie-wearing” Trayvon Martin by saying that each member of the jury “would have shot and killed” him “a lot sooner than George Zimmerman did.”

Here’s Rivera’s full quote:

I see those six ladies in the jury putting themselves on that rainy night, in that housing complex that has just been burglarized by three or four different groups of black youngsters from the adjacent community. So it’s a dark night, a 6-foot-2-inch, hoodie-wearing stranger is in the immediate housing complex. How would the ladies of that jury have reacted? I submit that if they were armed, they would have shot and killed Trayvon Martin a lot sooner than George Zimmerman did. This is self defense.


Off camera, you can hear co-host Steve Doocy respond by saying, “Sure.”

Later, Rivera added, “I believe that George Zimmerman will be acquitted. I really do believe that and I hope that by saying it out front and other commentators joining me, that this will mitigate any possible outrage.”

Yes, according to FOX News the typical American woman would should and kill any stranger they see walking down the street in the rain with a hoodie.

To make it even more stupid, here is a picture of the FOX News commentator who thinks it is self defense to shoot someone who is wearing a hoodie in the rain...
