Ray,
As you well know, the only thing that matters in this state is what the city slickers want. We rural folks say

To no avail.

They're gonna play on that Florida incident all over the country. They're trying Zimmerman in the media. How is this guy gonna get a fair trial with all the blather that's on TV and in the papers? I think it was CBS that finally admitted that they doctor'd the 911 tapes from Zimmerman, but you don't hear or see much about it. They posted his photo wearing an orange jail jumpsuit from several years ago. They posted photos of the alledged victim from when he was about 12 or 13 with that oh so innocent smile. This case should have gone before the Grand Jury instead of the DA bringing charges. And Justice For All!

Having lived in Florida for nearly 35 years and then settling in Central NY a few years ago I feel like I've left the Country!

Didn't he decide when his terms were up, that he going to stay as mayor because, "in this time of crisis, the city needs me" or something to that effect? I forget the exact circumstance, but he definitely has an extremely high opinion of himself. Maybe he's Obama's white brother.

I surely don't see how he gets a fair trial, at least not there in Florida. I'm not saying he's innocent or guilty but he is entitled to a fair trial. Here, SYG law is working! The police can't be everywhere so it's up to us to protect our families. Lane, +10 on what you said. . . It Is Time to vote ALL the idiots out. Term Limits still comes to mind as the best way to handle this issue, unfortunately, the only way that will occur is if initiative petitions were done from every state!

I don't even see how the SYG law applies in the Zimmerman case. He was attacked, having his head bashed into the concrete repeatedly, and drew his gun in self-defense. Had he not done so, we may be talking about Trayvon Martin's murder trial.
As I understand it, the SYG law just means you don't have to retreat and run from the perpetrator. Zimmerman didn't have a chance to run or retreat.

^this. Stand your ground does not apply. Self defense does.

This case is a blatant example of the media wanting a bigger fire story to cover. I believe this was not presented to a grand jury because the special prosecutor knew dang well it would have been No Billed, settting off civil unrest nation wide. I'm sorry this young man lost his life. We may never know the whole truth in this case. Zimmerman never should have left his truck, IMHO. I still want to see the alchemy involved in turning a person of Mezito Indian ancestry into a person of European ancestry. Here in my area, no way on God's green earth is this a hate crime as the media would have you believe. This is the exact reason that I refused to ever speak to the media when I was in a position to do so. I hope anyone damaged in anyway, including George Zimmerman, sues the pants off all of them for the blatant lies and distortions. I find it comical that Martin's mother was on the Today Show saying it may have been an accident only to recant that a short time later on MSLSD into he murdered my boy. What????
