Well, the Zimmerman trial started off with some fun! LOL!

Ooops...no 7 second delay. Opening statement broadcast live, complete with F bombs and "assholes." MSNBC apologized, took a break and said they were instituting the delay, but when they re-started the broadcast, they had actually re-wound the tape and just re-played the F bombs and cussing.

He was just reading the exact quote from Zimmerman. It was strong stuff. Glad it wasn't censored.

It's on the tape of him talking to the police. He mutters to himself, "Fucking punks. These assholes always get away."

perhaps HIS intent to not let this "fucking punk" as he calls him, to NOT get away.

Everything that is wrong with America is Zimmerman.
all the racism, all the guns and bullets and vigilantes.

This is America Summer 2013

And nothing is more important than this.

I shall tape it while at the beach, but I keep my eyes and ears focused on this.

And as Zimmerman is a vile person, indeed, the words apply to him.


and the following (and note- the sarcasm is JUST for this one sentence)
I wonder which side the NRA and Rand and Ron Paul are on. (SARCASM, as we know).


and the last thing this country knows

For the board-what are all the stations covering it
(I am sure Fox isn't going to cover the prosecution side).

opposed position of Zimmerman and his defense team.

Zimmerman's legal team claims that it is Zimmerman who is yelling on the tape.
Zimmerman also claims that Martin had his hands over Zimmerman's mouth and nose.

OK - How can Zimmerman be the one who is heard yelling loud enough to be heard over the phone if his mouth and nose were covered up? The answer is that he can't be yelling loud enough to be heard in the background of a phone call if his mouth and nose were covered up. It seems like the default answer is that it was Martin that was heard yelling.
