Lawrence O'Donnell is so damned pissed about this.

I am watching him now (9:10 PM CDT).

Lawrence had set up an interview with this new 'attorney' for Zimmerman who left early!

Amazing!

I love it when Lawrence gets pissed! ha

Of course this is all idle

Of course this is all idle speculation, but what if Martin had followed his girlfriend's advice and run? Seems like the ever suspicious Zimmerman would have taken that as a sign of criminality. It could have escalated the situation.

And now all of these right wing weirdos are popping up on line to defend Zimmerman. It's not enough that a kid is dead who shouldn't be, now they try to assassinate his character and, of course, they want to criticize the President for once again trying to tell us the damned truth.

I'm all in on this take

In reply to So, Zimmerman's story is that

I'm all in on this take Destor. For sure!

Who started it?

Who had the weapon(s)?

Who had the chance to retreat?

Who was prevented from retreating?

Again, not a legal analysis, just the cultural rules are present here!

And Zimmerman was not even on 'duty' as it were.

I know, marijuana

In reply to Oh, yes. Now they can claim

I know, marijuana madness!

But you see there will be a toxicology report following the autopsy. And that will be interesting!

Culturally speaking, there have been a thousand times the case a homicide over fighting over one's seat at the saloon vs. two fellows fighting over a bong. hahahahaha

Oh, yes. Now they can claim

Oh, yes. Now they can claim he was drugged out of his mind on the devil's weed.

So, Zimmerman's story is that

In reply to Update, Richard; it is indeed

So, Zimmerman's story is that Martin beat him up. And if Zimmerman hadn't been stalking the kid, that never would have happened. Probably this is all Zimmerman needs to walk. But given that this chase went on for some time and that Martin called his girlfriend to complain about being noticeably followed, Martin is probably the one who could have used the "Stand Your Ground" laws as he was the one acting in self defense, had Zimmerman not escalated the confrontation with his gun.

Take the gun out of the story and... Zimmerman had a butt kicking coming.

It is has gotten worse

It is has gotten worse because there was some report that some empty bag contained a residence of maryjane.

The racism is in the system for sure.

And I appreciate the link!

Again, this underlines how difficult the task of a CSI to get to the bottom of things!

Update, Richard; it is indeed

Update, Richard; it is indeed shaping up to be an old fashioned self-defense case, see

To me, even if they had the one witness who said they saw Martin over Zimmerman, any of this still does not absolve the pitiful negligence of the police investigation, especially the lack of interest in identifying the dead party, treating him as a John Doe unworthy of their time when he had a cell phone and had family in the neighborhood waiting for him to return...
