Fox News can generally be relied upon for a steady stream of artlessly jingoistic vomit, spewing forth from helmet-headed hairspray sacks who move their lips while reading important reports on hurricanes and other outrages against Heartland (= white, irrespective of actual location) America. What Fox usually fails at, though, is reporting on outrages against Urban (= black, etc.) America.
It kind of seems to me like if the family armed themselves and "encountered" Zimmerman, confronted him and he twitched - they certainly have reason to believe he's armed. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, no?
So basically Florida has legalized murder. Smooth move.
The conversation between Zimmerman and the police dispatcher was played on the CBS news tonight. I think that Zimmerman's last reply was missing, so I filled it in. Dispatcher: Are you chasing him? Zimmerman: Yes Dispatcher: We don't want you to do that. Zimmerman: You talkin' to me? You talkin' to ME?
<blockquote>Officials with the [Sanford Police] department have said in public statements that they lack sufficient evidence to disprove Zimmerman&rsquo;s accounting of the events and have passed the case on to the state&rsquo;s attorney. Neither office returned phone calls from The Post requesting comment Monday.</blockquote>
According to Frances Robles of the Miami Herald (just saw and heard her interviewed on PBS), this &quot;self defense&quot; crap isn&#039;t working out so good.
Drug dealers are shooting it out with innocent bystanders (the only kind) getting wounded or killed. The dealers pled they thought their lives were in danger (which is probably quite true) - so they are not prosecuted.
Thank you gun nutz everywhere for such a great law! Concealed weapons my ass. We&#039;ve tried this Second Amendment shit and it just doesn&#039;t work in modern society. The Constitution isn&#039;t perfect. We dumped slavery. Women got the right to vote. Black folks became full citizens.
It&#039;s exactlly what they&#039;ll be thinking -- sort of: &quot;If only that black kid had been armed, killing him would have been self-defense.&quot;
Got &quot;Hate Crime&quot; written all over it... you can be the Feds will roast this cretin, especially if the local yokels let him off with &quot;illegal discharge of a firearm&quot; (if there&#039;s even such a thing in Florida.)

You know the phrase &quot;taste the rainbow&quot; just sends their brains for a total loop.
No Humans Involved, is the unofficial police code.
Well, most of the other failures. But yeah.
Followd by &quot;Do you feel lucky, punk?&quot;
1920s is more like it.

Now we need to get rid of the guns.
The dickless ass with a gun is the official state mammal of Florida.

I believe the news item was &quot;Liberal MSM exploits unfortunate accident for political reasons.&quot;
Figured I&#039;d get scooped. Imma gonna let it stand anyhow.
I see you laid out the facts nicely -- but where, exactly, is the snark?
