Claims that no one on that jury could "relate" to Trayvon or this witness via phone. Nevermind the evidence...nevermind the cant relate to anyone else is a racist statement in of itself....Sharpton has sheep...he knows how to make them baaaaa. And we're all seeing that right here on our lil forum. Ain't that cool?

    The case obviously has a racial element but it has no bearing on the guilt or innocence of one George Zimmerman. Sadly, America always gets lost (willingly)in that element and can't see the forest for the trees.

    I absolutely agree on the above. Don't get me wrong, I feel the likes of Al Sharpton etc are nothing but race baiters, which is a pity, because when a genuine case of racist behaviour does occur (something in the vein of James Byrd), the Sharptons of this world have diluted the impact (probably not in the Byrd case, because that was truly awful/dispicable, but certainly in other instances). I don't know if Zimmerman is a racist or not. Don't have enough info.

    A Lesson From L.A. in the Zimmerman Case

    By Lou Cannon - July 18, 2013

    By the time the Los Angeles rioting ended on May 4, 1992, 54 people had died with another 2,328 treated for injuries in emergency rooms by doctors practicing what one of them called “battlefield medicine.” The rioting was the costliest in U.S. history, with property losses exceeding $900 million -- $1.45 billion in today’s dollars. Thousands of businesses were burned or looted and 862 structures burned to the ground.

    President George H.W. Bush was, as he put it, “sickened” by a televised clip of the King beating he had seen soon after the incident occurred a year earlier. In the midst of the rioting the president met with civil rights leaders and made a televised appeal for calm, promising that the Simi Valley verdicts were “not the end of the process.”

    At Bush’s direction, Attorney General William Barr conferred with Justice Department officials to discuss prosecuting the officers on federal civil rights charges. William Kristol, then chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle, later remembered discussing the case with Barr, who pushed forward despite initial reluctance. “Legally, it was a questionable thing to do, but they felt they had to do it for obvious reasons,” Kristol said.

    As was true with Zimmerman, the first prosecution of the LAPD officers had also been problematic, although this was not widely known. Viewers worldwide shared President Bush’s reaction to an amateur cameraman’s videotaping of the beating, which showed officers brutally using their batons on King as he lay writhing on the ground.

    Prosecutors knew, however, that this was not the full story. Among other things, the tape had been edited for clarity by the local television station that had first shown it, removing blurry footage in which King charged at one of the officers. The local station shared the tape with other stations and the networks, which mostly used the edited version without questioning it.

    Very good read

    Do you suppose it would help here if we periodically repeat the thread title?

    That is equivalent to "game over" libs.
