So...any "we got it wrong" admissions from former Zimmermaniacs? [View all]

Last edited Wed Nov 20, 2013, 09:27 PM - Edit history (1)

Any expressions of second thoughts?

Any acknowledgment that the arrogant, abusive tone they took in dismissing the pro-Trayvon community just might MAYBE have been slightly wrong....?

Or, are they gonna claim that the Zimm's girlfriend looked like a black kid in a hoodie?

(on edit: I was talking about Zimmerman apologists OUTSIDE of DU...ok?)
