I can believe that seeing as how we elected Obama twice. Uninformed and ignorant.
Sadly, I believe you're right. However, I think the jury will be more educated and informed than a lot of Obama voters... at least I hope so.
I think that’s a pretty valid concern. Honestly, I’ve wondered that myself. I have no doubt that if he’s acquitted there will be protesters (people have gotten far too involved in this case for that not to happen) but it’s hard to say how violent they might get.
I'm fairly certain the govt will be well prepared locally to respond quickly. However, an acquittal of GZ could very well provide those who are already angry/hateful with enough rage to incite riots and loot elsewhere. Hey... we're talking serious racial politics, so anything is possible including violence
I asked this a few months ago and it seemed like everyone said riots, nooo. Now people are not so sure. However based on the inability of Zimmerman to use pertinent evidence (my opine) I think the fix is in against him anyway and he's headed for 20 years of life behind bars.
I agree the state is doing all they can to convict which is their job after a charge is files. But that shouldn't include withholding evidence, judges rulings this far, and feeding the media with negatives about GZ. Call me naive but I just can't see a conviction of M2. IMO... Worst case scenario is Manslaughter. Hopefully, a mistrial or not guilty.
