He [Assistant State Attorney John Guy] added that if Zimmerman is acquitted it will send a message that grown men can follow and kill children.
That's a bit of a leap. Ever get the feeling that the lawyers working for the state are just the washouts from the private defense attorney sector?

Not as much FB activity as I expected. I gots a lot of liberals on there, but most of them were silent, with these exceptions:
- black people
- white women who have half-black children
The first is not surprising, even though one of them is actually a 2nd Amendment enthusiast. The second probably isn't either.

Arrest all those idiots and give them each a few hundred hours of community service. Fucking seriously. Or let the more irate members of the community reenact this classic scene from the Blues Brothers.

In a defamation trial, however, NBC can say that the not guilty verdict “has limited probative value as far as establishing a claim that they acted with actual malice toward him, that they acted with actual indifference to the truth,” Armour said.
That's two separate things there. Do I think they had malice towards George? No. Do I think they acted with indifference to the truth? Oh, absolutely. Modern journalism is about saying it first - as early and often as possible - not about being true. They'll report anything anyone says to them without any evidence or confirmation. And it's about time that starts to bite them on the ass, IMO.

If Zimmerman’s legal team is moving ASAP to get the case to trial, NBC’s lawyers should be moving ASAP to get the check cut for the settlement.
I really hope he rejects any out of court settlement and makes them play this to the hilt. Then again, I can't imagine he wants to be in litigation for the rest of his life.

He doesn't have a choice. The DoJ is considering trying him for a "hate crime," and you KNOW that some race hustler is going to get the parents to sue him for wrongful death. The man is going to be a professional defendant from now on.
If you've never read Bonfire of the Vanities, you should. Tom Wolfe is probably THE most insightful American author.

That always seems like such a bullshit end run around the "double jeopardy" thing. They can't try you for the exact same thing, but the can keep manipulating the charges until they find a variation somewhere that sticks to you for the stupidest fucking judicial logic possible until they get their pound of flesh. Fucking hell, at least Buddhists let existence/nature/the universe sort out karma. They aren't arrogant enough to try to manage it themselves.

Is this it? Is this what I got all those ass whuppings for?
I vaguely wonder what MLK would be doing about this.

You check the twoepisodes that got banned because BET got Viacom to sic its legal jackals on Adult Swim and its parent corporation? It's all very under the surface, though. As in "not one of the above parties involved will admit any reasonwhy the episodes were pulled." It's astonishing that they'll put on the one where MLK busts out the racial epithets, but lampooning BET execs is off limits.

Soon as I saw that name, I thought, "Hmm, glass houses..."
I've noticed everyone else (still alive) from that defense team being very quiet. Although you got to wonder what Johnny would be like. Fucking weasel in a suit.
