No, what did she say?
I never got my free TV, and other consumer electronics during the Rodney King riots. If I work this set of riots right, I should be able to put together a brand new (free) home theater entertainment center.
I can't wait until the rioting starts. That will confirm everything I've ever thought of Floridians and other morons.
What is the over/under for days of rioting after Zimmerman's acquittal?
For total days, I'd say . . . four, because Florida has a rather high percentage of CCW permit holders.....and rioters are basically lazy and tire easily because of being over wieght.
For seconds after the verdict before rioting starts, no matter which way it turns out, I'd say six......slow, non self starters....have to wait on Jesse and Al to kick start them.

First, rioting will start within minutes no matter which way the verdict goes. If acquittal it will last for 5-6 days. If guilty, then just that night and the following day.
Second, this whole thing got me to thinking that it was just the first of many "Two Minutes of Hate" that we are going to be subject to for the next 4 years.
Third, unless we get some of the media back the country will become as bad as East Germany.

Many of the riots occur in heavily Democratic areas.Name one that did not.
Over/under for consecutive days of record gun sales in Florida ? My prediction 3 days, starting right before closing arguments.6 hours. They will all be sold out by the evening.
Name one that did not.
Got me stumped on that GO, has there ever been a riot outside of the Democratic party areas except the Civil War, the draft riots in New York.
Republican and Democrat of today is not the same as in the 19th century. Also, riots since the 1960s.
So what does the 60's have in common with today, we don't hear of white kids being killed headed south for the freedom rides ??? Have not heard one word of gratitude to the Northern whites that freed the slaves or died in in the 60's to
join the blacks to demand equal rights.
In the South I NEVER met one man or Black woman that thanked me for loosing family members so they could be free today.
Matter of fact most blacks I have met had family come here after the civil war. Never slaves in America.
Check it out , the largest % of blacks here were only slaves in Africa and came here as free men and woman. Those that are here today are 3-5 generation Americans.
I hear the racists telling the blacks to go home to Africa BUT America is their home for generations, Be like telling a 6-7 generation Brit to go home.
We are the melting pot of the world as I was taught, those born on American soil are Americans. Those that come in to deny this and cause up Havel are the Enemy of America.
Schools need to teach American history to the kids born here, not the history of the country's their parents came from. Teach them there is a darn good reason why their own parents left their birth country to escape it.
I'm listening to some sound bites from the trial. Sounds like the defense attorneys are........less than adequate.
The judge sounds biased as well.
.
Can the jury convict for manslaughter ILO murder?
I looked it up. Zimmerman can be convicted of the lesser included charge of Manslaughter.
Thank you!
I see this as a possible outcome of the trial; but I'm afraid the race baiters will accept nothing less than a murder conviction.

the Florida teen said he was being followed by “a creepy-ass cracker†just before the fatal confrontation.

I hope the trial doesn't last to long and the rioting starts right afterwards......watermelons are just beginning to ripen around here and if the riots start after, say August 10, I'll have to buy the damn things to bait a field.
Help?!
I know of no street fighter or otherwise that is going to yell for help when in a fight.
Help?!I'd yell "fire", if Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson were near by.
**** that. I am a Black Belt, I'm not going to yell "Help!"
I'm going to do what the cops tell people, and yell "FIRE!"
then proceed to kick ass
Wow....just wow. Words fail me (and her too apparently).

I've told Mrs. Jukin that for over thirty years. More people, particularly women, need to know this.
People will always respond to someone yelling fire. Help, not so much.
St. Tayvon's GF sure didn't help the case too much. I wonder why the prosecution put her on unless they know the fix is in. Also, the actions of the judge will give tens of points for appeal. She actually testified for the poor, huge, stupid 19 year old junior in HS.
She said she speaks three languages............but none are human. :-)..but doesn't understand cursive writing.....even though she wrote and signed a letter in cursive and when shown the letter in court today, she couldn't read it.

Ms.Rachel JeantelSomebody else's money. That's the ticket.

I told my dad my phone due n he said let me look for u a job lol man plz I like ur money n mom money better n he paid it too lol
..but doesn't understand cursive writing.....even though she wrote and signed a letter in cursive and when shown the letter in court today, she couldn't read it.
From what I understand, she had a friend write the letter for her and she only signed it. Still, it's a pretty sad state of affairs when a 19 year old high school junior can't read longhand.

30. Granted, she had enunciation issues but I thought overall she was a good witness.
She was genuine; never more so when she meekly, but with emotion, told West, "Don't you understand how I feel?" as he continued to badger her about lying about the reason she didn't attend the funeral. As she said, she learned about Trayvon's death on the news, she had been the last person to talk to him, & she said that she didn't want to see the body, as she shook her head saying, no, no, no. I believed her. Putting those facts together, maybe she felt awkward about her role that night & felt shame that she didn't go to the funeral, &, as an inexperienced young person, thought creating a white lie (she "went to the hospital") was the solution for her.
I thought the comments between Trayvon & her about Zimmerman possibly being a rapist helped the prosecution (depending on how insightful the six jurors are). Wasn't that based on the fact that Zimmerman continued to stare at Trayvon? Staring at a person to the extent that Zimmerman was probably doing is an act of aggression, which is why it's considered impolite. It implies that Zimmerman was looking for trouble.

5. Then again, a 6 woman jury may feel sympathetic towards Rachel
because she was being bullied by the defense attorney and they may even admire the way she stood up for herself on the stand.

35. I so disagree with you
I am a white person (and a woman), and I found Rachel's testimony to be compelling, consistent, and strong. I could actually relate to her, or at least to her as a teenager.
Let's not racially profile what all white people think.
Even if they thought she was diffident or defensive, even if they didn't understand her, that doesn't mean they didn't believe what she said.
And let's also remember that she is not the total crux of this trial. There's a dead boy; there was someone with a gun and someone without a gun; there are police tapes; there were three other "ear" witnesses; there are tons of conflicting statements by Zimmerman that have not yet been addressed.
For disclosure's sake: I am a white woman who spent a lot of time tutoring kids, many of whom were a lot like Rachel, in an inner-city public school. So maybe I'm just more familiar with her style and background.
I'm far less familiar with gung-ho vigilante gun culture than I am with the Rachels of the world. I have to admit I am biased against Zimmerman, and have been since the beginning. And not because he is Hispanic.

7. Mebbe it is my multicultural experience
But I felt she was a decent witness.
Mind you, working class Jew, who immigrated (let alone I know the case) has like zero chance to get on that jury.

Wow. Denial.
The short of it is the 'star witness' came off as an ignorant racially motivated liar.

1. First of all, it's 'acquitted"
And secondly, what's wrong with wanting to see justice done, no matter what the outcome? Are we supposed to pick sides based on nothing more than a persons race?
That's not the way to move towards a post racial society.
I never got my free TV, and other consumer electronics during the Rodney King riots. If I work this set of riots right, I should be able to put together a brand new (free) home theater entertainment center.
You can call me cynical but i got a hundred that says that the DUchebags will be yelling RACISM if George gets acquitted.
Why do I say if? I fully expect the threats of riots and violence from the racist leftists to go on an exponential drive up.
