    HMMM..maybe because the Sanford Police started the process by leaving the child in the morgue for 3 days without contacting his family, friends or drug dealer associates. I'm sure that's protocol

    I still wish you to be mauled by puppies

    Your expertise in this matter is almost* beyond compare, so I guess we'll have to take your word for it.

    You cannot compare the two cases. One is criminal in nature. Sherrod lost a job. Zimmerman may lose his freedom. A more interesting parallel is the Duke lacrosse case or the Richard Jewell case.

    Now that President Obama has inserted his sorry ass into this, I'm wondering how you sorry no goods expect Zimmerman to get a fair trial?

    Zimmerman may lose his freedom but that isn't clear since he hasn't been even been indicted. The similarity though is that there was a very large amount of media attention paid on both.

    I will agree that the Duke Lacross case and Richard Jewell are similar although the Duke lacross players were officially charged and exonerated after further investigation. Zimmerman has yet to be charged.

    Once again.. The Sanford PD didn't charge him, accepted his explanation on face value and even altered witness statements, in addition to leaving Martin's body in a morgue for three days without even establishing who he was.

    Does that seem like a police department moving to make an investigation or does that seem like a police department sweeping an incident under a rug?

    No chance in hell he is, I bet when people talk about Obama he smiles and nods, then comes home and vents his rage all over the internetz.

    Yeah, right. We're no good because we care about a kid getting the business from a power-hungry lunatic.

    You don't consider the death, but you consider Zimmerman's right to fair trial. At least think about both.

    Based on your comment, it's easy to assume that you are detached and delusional.

    Making assumptions on how he treated W during his presidency with no facts or background at all? Hmmmm. "blah blah something about bias". It is seriously getting too easy to slap you down.

    Am I missing something here? What is the evidence that this incident was racially motivated? That the two people were of different races?
