Perpetuating race issues....... Lovely.

Personally, I think the media is doing everything it can to perpetuate the race game to antagonize everyone to generate more news. Where in the past, the media was solely reliant on reporting what may have happened, they are now trying to create an environment to CREATE news so they have something to write about. Brings back memories of the media mogul in "The World is Not Enough" Bond film but instead of a stealth boat, they are just using the mighty pen to get people to raise their swords.

Great reference. I'm starting to agree.

The absolute worst part of it is, people are proving themselves to be sheeple and buying into it.

I spend a lot of time traveling in Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and all over Texas and the southwest for work. I encounter some of the dumbest people I could ever imagine. Some I would consider barely above 75 IQ points and that might be giving them a few extra points they don't deserve. Sadly, they are registered voters.

The downfall of our American Society is a serious planned effort. Dumb down the education system so they have more "uninformed" voters. Promise those folks great riches and you win their votes. While the Republican Party and the libertarians attempt to deal with things in a rational and intelligent manor, they fail to focus on the real problem which is the Democrats are USING the system to screw and brainwash the people they claim to represent. It's a polished form of slavery and manipulation of human beings. They purposely keep them stupid, misinformed and living through emotion and reaction, never intelligence.

We are doomed unless someone can come up with a plague that only targets the lazy and unintelligent. I just think it's sad that the other movies we are following are 1984 and Idiocracy. So damn sad.

That used to be called "life", so many are making sure that no one can fail badly enough at it to effect the change needed to succeed.

Yep, I shot that motherfucker................all within the scope of the law.

George Zimmerman, who was found not guilty on murder charges related to the death of Trayvon Martin, will reportedly ask the state of Florida to cover $200,000 to $300,000 of his legal expenses.

Mark O'Mara, his attorney, told the Orlando Sentinel on Monday that a "motion is in the works."

As the Sentinel noted, "because Zimmerman was acquitted, state law requires Florida to pay all his legal costs, minus the biggest one: the fee that goes to his lawyers." This would include "the cost of expert witnesses, travel, depositions, photocopies, even that animated 3-D video that defense attorneys showed jurors during closing argument that depicts Trayvon punching Zimmerman."

Because "for months leading up to the trial, Zimmerman lived in hiding, had no job and lived off donations to his legal defense fund," his attorney said that he considered asking the judge to "declare Zimmerman indigent, and thus, require the state to pay his legal bills. But that never happened."

The motion "would be based on Florida Statute 939.06, which states that a defendant who has been acquitted is not liable for any costs associated with his case and, if he or she paid anything, they would be due a refund, if approved by a judge or clerk," and "the money would come from the Judicial Administrative Commission, the state agency that pays the non-lawyer legal expenses of indigent defendants."
O'Mara "said he would ask the judge to certify the costs he submits. He then expects the commission, which is commonly referred to as JAC, to challenge many."

Zimmerman has not yet paid O'Mara, who charges $400 an hour. O'Mara reportedly worked "40 hours a week for 16 months" and would be owed "slightly more than $1 million." The Sentinel notes the $1 million figure does not include work done by Don West, his co-counsel who bills at $350 an hour, or Lorna Truett, O'Mara'a law partner.

Nice sharing.

[SS Junk]

The payments will come from the suits against NBC, Sharpton, Jackson, Spike Lee, whoever was responsible for airing Zimmerman's SS#, etc...

Edit: not suits, but rather settlements. Far cheaper to pay him out.

I wonder how our crafty justice dept. is coming along those civil charges...

[Moose242]

You can't simmer the Zimmer baby.

He gonna get paid.

[naynay]

I thought it wasn't murder
