The simple story — cops yawn when burly white vigilante stalks and kills unarmed African-American child for the "crime" of walking while black — shocked the conscience of much of the nation a year ago and touched off an explosion of indignant demagoguery.
------
On one side were those who believed the story illustrated the evils of racism and firearms as well as the deference law enforcement affords white people.

On the other side were those who believed that Zimmerman, whose mother is Hispanic, acted in self defense, and that his arrest a month and a half after the incident in the face of mounting public pressure illustrated the perils of mob rule.
------
Physical evidence — from the wounds Zimmerman suffered to the ballistics report that indicates Zimmerman was on the ground when he fired his gun up into Martin's chest — indicates Martin was getting the better of Zimmerman in the fight that preceded the shooting.

Who started the fight? That question is at the heart of the case for or against Zimmerman, and though "Intermediate Range" doesn't answer the question, it defines it with particular clarity.

And it explains why those who've now been howling for Zimmerman's hide for the better part of a year should brace themselves for jurors to find reasonable doubt as to his guilt and for certain sad mysteries to endure.

Regardless of the ruling on this case, it will not end well.

0bama got what he wanted out of the case. Too bad the truth was sacrificed in the whole mess.

I read this earlier. It's trolling. Nothing more, nothing less.

Just a side note...................

I'm glad the ugly poster called "war" is not here on this thread to start attacking conservatives as violent racists.

It's still very, very GOOD to be away from TBL!

Not sure what you mean...WTF..

I think the media is trying to prepare low information Obama voters for an aquittal or hung jury in this trial.

The media first called Zimmerman a "White" based on his name. Then they willfully created the new race category of "White Hispanic" so that they could stick him with the label of racist. Without the word "white" the charges had no "merit" in furthering the leftist media's desired racist mantra.

Zimmerman deserves a huge monetary settlement from all the media outlets guilty of a mindless rush to judgment.
