Honestly, I go to gun shows, and those sellers don't give a fuck who you are as long as you have money. You have not lived until you see an old, white bearded, white dude in a confederate flag shirt handing a black guy a gun and telling him everything about it in loving, post-racist detail. I know it sounds strange, but gun shows are the most polite and non-racist places on earth, once you get past the confederate flags, occasional Nazi brickabrack, and militia books.

Wait, what do you mean? What happens if I punch somebody, or shoot them with a nerf-gun? Bad things? But how am I supposed to know that. Wish I had your gift, what to you call it?

Looks like there might be some funny business going on in this one as well.

Seriously Florida, cut this shit out.

No fucking kidding. This good Canadian gal (Habs fan) says hockey died when the finals were no longer in April.

Fun fact: she left the house, got her gun, and went back in with it, so she couldn't use self-defense as an excuse. But Zimmerman got out of his car with his gun and followed Trayvon, but he could use self-defense as an excuse.

Right.

This sounds a hell of a lot like Mississippi Burning (watched it last week) when the only charge they could lay against the Klan members was violation of the civil rights of the murdered men, because there was no way that Mississippi would lay murder charges.

I suppose things have changed, but I keep flashing back to that movie the last little while. Things haven't changed enough.

And no doubt the guy who injured him will argue that Lester was the aggressor. Who's the real victim here, people!?

I didn't know that detail but even without it the argument that hers was not an act of self defense but Zimmerman's was, or that she could have avoided firing but Zimmerman couldn't is SO blatantly biased that it beggars belief.

I am watching idiot juror b37 on Anderson Cooper (does our Wonkette still have a crush on him?) and this woman is dumb as a box of rocks, unable to express herself, and boo-hooing on how hard it was to be a juror. She also said she feels sorry for Trayvon, but also for Zimmy. WTF? sorry for the guy who got to kill somebody without spending his life in prison?

Is THAT how it works? Damn sneaky Canucks. Good idea sneaking that Kenyan past us, too.
