Not much of a surprise, I guess, but George Zimmerman was found not guilty of anything – not even manslaughter. Another fine day for the American “Justice” System. And for our friends in Florida, of course. You can’t even blame the verdict on stupid white men – it was an all female jury (5 out of 6 white, though). I saw that Zimmie’s lawyer said his client wouldn’t have even been tried if he was black. Uh-huh. Especially not if he was a black guy who stalked and killed an unarmed white kid. Though I doubt there are too many black neighborhood watch vigilantes in the gated community of Twin Lakes, Florida. If Georgie is smart, he won’t emulate his attorney, and will just go away somewhere and keep his yap shut, rather than become a Fux news media darling (though I suppose a book is inevitable). I wonder if a civil suit is possible? Sure seems like wrongful death to me (but then, I’m no Fat Tony Scalia). <\/p>\n
We’ve had a couple of days of blessed relief from a rather pervasive stretch of heat and humidity here, but that’s apparently going to end today as we’re supposed to get back up around 90 degrees. I suppose I should have cut the grass yesterday, but we were obligated to go to a graduation party for somebody. So that killed the whole day, as I had to do laundry so I’d have a clean t-shirt to wear. Hopefully nobody I know will have any kids left that graduate from anything or get married. <\/p>\n
Oh well, enjoy your Sunday, and stay away from Skittles if you’re wearing a hoodie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
