In reply to the discussion: Texas Democratic Party adopts 2012 platform with strong gun-hostile verbage [View all]gejohnston
(17,502 posts)74. I fell off that bandwagon.
Unfortunately, that doesn't change the fact that the Zimmermans of this world are getting away with it.
Let's wait for the real trial. Quite frankly, I seriously doubt much of what the MSM initially claimed and the progressive media clings to. Why? NBC doctoring the 911 tape for starters. Rumors and claims that did not match what really happened. Plus, it came right after the Casey Anthony electronic lynching, where the DA fed the media a bunch of shit and they ate it up. Problem was, the DA could not demonstrate cause or time of death of the child. There were not defense lawyer tricks to show reasonable doubt. Even if the mother were convicted, she would still walk with a clean record because the DA withheld exculpatory evidence from the defense. That is a big deal in Florida. We take the sunshine laws that seriously. Oh yeah, then there is Richard Jewell, who was electronically lynched for doing his job as a private security guard. What does that have to do with Zimmerman? Not saying he is innocent, but just saying I fell off the "George is a violent racist" bandwagon.
Have you ever looked up the stats on unsolved murders, but in this case, murder gets reclassified, so it doesn't go on the books as murder.
I don't know about here, but in Japan the get reclassified as suicides.

This is the polite term for electronic lynching
