By doing that, she's keeping herself out of a no win situation, so you can tell she is as smart as she is good looking.

Except for her choice in men. But that's something all women are dumb about. ;)

STUPID MOVE.


Aren't you assuming he is innocent? I thought we weren't going to judge him on whether or not he was innocent until all the facts are in.


I am making no assumptions one way or the other. I am neutral in this situation as I am with all situations that I do not witness with my own 2 eyes...

What I am and was getting at, is the fact that this case is now a political issue and George Z is in the crosshairs of lots of folks, straight to the POTUS.

Innocent or not - he is screwed.

If he is acquitted, there will be riots in the streets, if he is convicted the "community" will feel that Justice hsa been served and there will be further fall out...

This one sucks.

Well then, the best case scenario is that he is actually guilty and they find him that way. That way nobody gets screwed.

Except the kid, of course. He's dead.

Poor Zimmerman.

Still as of yet, no comment from Jesse, Al, or the other "community leaders" about the white 22 y/o on a good samaritan mission in N Minneapolis that was gunned down by thugs for his bike. Oh, that's right, we have no description of said thugs yet, my bad....

Being that he is aware of his situation and the media coverage, I would have him on suicide watch.

Zimmerman will either be jailed, or hunted the rest of his life.

The best case scenario would be that justice is served, plain and simple, everything else be damned.

I really don't care about this case at the core, but... Wow, if some of ya'll thought the local MN or the national news stations had some screwy reporting practices... try watching the local news in Florida.

Unfortunately society and most individuals have a different idea of what justice is or should be. Interesting article, not that I agree with it completely:

When pressed for a definition, I reply that justice is the redistribution of violence. In its simplest form, X commits a wrong upon Y, for which Y demands retaliation against X.

No, she is still thinking she got a good deal. Of course, that's true of all women. We'd all be screwed if it wasn't for their uncanny ability to make really bad decisions about the man they should marry. ;)
