I was wondering Bob, you know as a half Hispanic gentleman he does have at least 50% politically correct coverage due. Unless the white half cancels it completely. I don't know, I'm not up on that stuff

I'm with the prosecutor on this one, bro. It's about a kid with skittles and an out of control cop wannabe asshole. I'm colorblind in this case even though Zippy apparently wasn't.

In reference to how long will deliberation last.

depends on how bad they want to go home vs who wants to cash in on the book.
cynical I know! I am holding out for justice though, I hope georgie does some time..
maybe change these stupid stand your ground laws.
remember the good old days when you both walked away, one person just "won"?

The past for either does not matter.

It only matters during sentencing of anyone convicted.

Same here.

No way in hell I'd let the murderer of a child walk.

What does that mean?

On how long the jury will be out. They will want to do due diligence so will be out till Monday to Tuesday be my guess.

I was simply ribbing on the black/white aspect that seems to be at least somewhat important to many.

If the lad was carying a gun? No, but he was unarmed.

Look what sort of a nutcase appoints himself the neighbourhood watchman and cruises the street nights looking for (as he put it) black teenagers up to no good?

I was in a Neighborhood Watch and we were never told to patrol the street. If we saw something suspicious we were told to call the police and stay inside. The last thing they wanted was some armed civilian out in the midle of God only knows what.

What effing part of all this is so difficult to understand. He was told to get back in his van and wait for the police. If he had done that the boy would be alive and there would be no trial.

I dont care if the lad had been green and the killer purple and fail to see what colour has to do with anything. An innocent kid was gunned down for no special reason. Our dumbass former daughte in law is taking our granddaughters down to Florida and we really dont want to see them living in that shithole.
