The Republicans that watch Fox have been convinced Martin attacked Zimmerman. The Fox watchers I know have been quiet on the story until this morning. This morning first thing out of one of their mouths was they are trying to hang that guy in Florida for shooting that f-----g n-----. I jumped on his ass right then, I said the SOB should have been arrested, he shoots a 17 year old kid that went out for ice tea and skittles. He starts repeating all the Fox talking points about that n---was going to kill Zimmerman and he had the right to defend himself. I said well first of all he was supposed to be on Neighborhood Watch and according to their rules he wasn't supposed to be carrying a gun and they are not supposed to confront anyone and he was told not to follow him but he did anyway. Well I was surprised that shut him up. I'm sure he is calling me a n---- lover behind my back now. You people in other areas may think I am exaggerating the language but believe me in the tri-state area of Eastern Ohio WV and PA the N word is common.
