1 Mmmm...new thread smell.

2 Hmmm...tastes like Sharknado.

3 Anybody in here?

4 Sharknado: The book was better

5 I missed it apparently like most of America. Will we be expecting a review Ace?

6 Figures.  I walk into a new thread with a shark.

7 I am getting warm, just standing around in my riot gear. They need to make a decision.

8 Sharknado may not have met expectations, but it *does* have more viewers than Piers Morgan...so there's that.

9 Can Plinkett be persuaded to render a verdict?

10 So when do we get a mockbuster version of Sharknado?

11 Is a million viewers really bad for a SyFy crap movie?Probably all in the top demographic too.

12 It would be nice if this Zimmerman trial ended with no violence and a just verdict. But mostly it'll just be nice when it ends.

13 From the last update that I read, the prosecution had no case whatsoever, and was appealing to race ... meaning everyone knows that Zimmerman is innocent. What are the odds that the jury votes "not guilty"? I have this bad feeling ... I also have a few cans of pepper spray, just in case.

14 8 it *does* have more viewers than Piers Morgan Right up there with one of my favorite programs - "Paint Drying". It also trounces PM nightly.

15 I'm looking forward to more insightful commentary by WHOOPS.

16 15 Akula 51,

"so you wanted to see my colonoscopy?" probably pulls higher numbers than MSDNC any given hour...

17 Candygram

18 I think a hanged jury is more likely than a conviction or an aquittal.

19 I'm afraid they might try and nail Zimmerman on manslaughter.

I know every jury I've been on is well hung.

23 "Can Plinkett be persuaded to render a verdict?" I'd like to see him rate it compared to Phantom Menace.

25 I wonder if it's too late to hit my favorite German restaurant in downtown Sanford one last time?

26 Never mind; Rifftrax will do us proud when Sharknado comes out on dvd.

27 Go away, humpin' cousin to extinction.

28 I predict the jury verdict will arrive on Tuesday.  Riots either way.

29 24 "Can Plinkett be persuaded to render a verdict?" *** I'd like to see him rate it compared to Phantom Menace. Sharknado had better acting.

30 I was at a boyscout campout so sharknado had one less viewer. Not sure if the campfire was anymore entertaining, it had less bloody and less chainsaws.

31 27 favorite German restaurant IDK - how's the Jaegerschnitzel?

32 Verdict: Not Guilty
Outcome: Riots

Verdict: Guilty
Outcome: Riots

33 No outcome is good for Zimmerman. He and Snowden should get a.place together.

34 Sharknado was absolutely craptastic!  I scoffed and laughed so hard at it that I nearly had a seizure.  I can see, though, how people who have no sense of humor and/or no love of absurdity might not be interested in watching it. 

35 It is NBC/U content so I couldn't even watch in standard def on my MythTV + Cablecard.  All of their programs are 'premium content' flagged as unviewable outside a certified DRM environment.  But the takedown here was probably more entertaining anyway.

36 A ratings flop? I don't know. Business has never been better!

37 Yay! Open thread! Crossbows!

38

So we picked the girl up from camp today and boy oh boy did I pick the right way to get there.

 

Got her (happy, but ready to be at home) and headed home via the supposedly quicker way...tons and tons of tree damage from a storm last night.

 

I would have been having a COW if I'd seen that on the way to get her.

44 Boobehs!

45 34 Dr Varno,

Yeah it's sorta a false choice I think that the jury "takes one for the city to prevent riots..."

Pretty much riots are all the Democrats have left at this point...

they are nuking the African-American voter base economically so they may as well indulge their worst actors in their hobby eh?

46 4 Sharknado: The book was better Posted by: Bigby's First Stonecasting Hands at July 12, 2013 03:52 PM
----------------------------------

The book was too long, so I got the Cliff's Notes, which just consisted of the title.

47 Even the police expect a not guilty verdict, hence all the riot drills that just a coincidence they say lol. Yet, even though most "Experts" say there isn't any case at all, we still remain unsettled because we no longer have any faith in the system or juries. This is not because we think zimmerman, a liberal democrat who loved Obama, is the greatest human being ever (we don't know him.) But because in order to have a sane nation and a society that functions, the justice/legal system must be able to determine reasonable doubt fairly easily. In order to deprive someone of their liberty in the courtroom, the state must PROVE their case. Here, the state's witnesses proved the defense case! We shall see.

48 If a shark smelled like cooter, would it be a gun?

49 Local residents are lining up at the local Best Buy, calling dibbs on shit, in preparation for a not guilty.

50

I think the jury will deliberate for a long time, and they should.  It's important for them to go through all the evidence, examine all the witness testimony, and consider each side's closing argument.  I think they know that they owe that to both the deceased and the defendant.  Their names will be known soon and they will have to answer to the media for their verdict no matter what, so they will take as long as they need to be sure they have it right and can defend whatever they decide. 

 

51 Never mind; Rifftrax will do us proud when Sharknado comes out on dvd.

54 sven10077; my boxer sleeping on the couch has more viewers than Piers Morgan.  Not a great compliment for Sharknado   Just had to slam Musket Boy.

Is there any chance, any chance at all, that Ogabe's grotesque overreach on the Zimmerman trial could backfire?  That, riots or not, it will open even more eyes to how much of a serial liar and asshole he and his Admin really are?

62

@54

 

I don't know how Syfi or the MST3K guys feel about each other... there may be some hard feelings over the last season or so.

63 I like how riot footage of vermin looting stores because the community is so outraged and angry over some bullcrap always shows a bunch of really happy people carrying all their stolen shit.  They riot because they want free shit,  not justice.

64 if Zimmermann is acquitted, we'll at least be able to find out which brand of TV is number one (where price is not a consideration)

65 @34 But celebratory in the second instance. Sanford residents will not be leading the charge. Racist huckstering carpetbaggers and bargain window shoppers otoh.... Could happen anywhere.

66

Great God Almighty - that Defense Closing Argument was a thing of unparalleled beauty.

 

I loved the way MOM told the jury if they found  for Self Defense, that's it; game over; go home  right after  the verdict is read.

 

I hope we hear back today.

 

Then  again, the NAACP convention is in Orlando as we speak - just 30 miles from Sanford.....

68 it will open even more eyes to how much of a serial liar and asshole he and his Admin really are? Yeah, this shit's all coming out eventually. Watergate too years. Unravelling the Obama/Holder reign of douchetasticness will take considerably longer.

69 55 Has the jury been sequestered during the trial? Yes, and several of the women have small kids. I expect a verdict ASAP. Maybe they will wait till Monday, but I would not be surprised if it came in the morning. The only hold up would be if one person is for guilty, the "Animal handler?". Then the rest would have to convince her.

@64

 

The old judicial standard once was "let the heavens fall so that justice be done." I miss the rule of law. It had a quiet nobility around it.

 

 

Note, in this instance we have a reverse "To Kill A Mockingbird" scenario.

71 My son's Golden Retriever just let out a Hounds of The Baskervilles unearthly howl while asleep.

At least we think that is what that hideous noise was (either that or the washing machine is possessed in spin cycle). I have never heard a sound like this before. If he is having a nightmare, I hope he does not do this at night as I will have to change the sheets. It sounded like a siren that had rusted or something. This is his second home, so he is not stressed...will ask son on his return if he has noticed. Creepy.

72

>>So when some white (insert any other race including white) inevitably shoots a black rioter protecting himself, family, someoneelse, or business, does that mean we start the cycle all over again?

 

Only if the shooter behaves in a law abiding manner and notifies the police, is honest, and forthcoming.

 

Oh, wow.

 

Look how this is turning out.

73 There is no way in hell Zimmerman gets convicted.  Worst case: a hung jury.  It only takes one right-thinking juror to sticker to her guns that Zimmerman is innocent.

74 57 AceThePug,

Depends on "we" in play...

the media will pretend a charming level of benightedness on the implications of "my son Trayvon" but yeah I think a lot of blue collar donks will get the message...

if the GOP had 1/4 a brain they'd be hammering the donks to the Union Dems who aren't PEU types reminding them their pension values are being nuked by "go money" fed policy.....

of course I used GOP and Brain within 1,000 characters of one another....

bwahaha

75 So when some white (insert any other race including white) inevitably shoots a black rioter protecting himself, family, someone else, or business, does that mean we start the cycle all over again? By Jove, you've cracked the Prog Enigma code!

76

"Flowers for whom?"

 

"um. Plumber, ma'am"

77

Why the poor ratings:

There was no black dude in Sharknado who got eaten by a great white-hispanic shark.

78 Given the facts as we know them, I don't see how their can't be REASONABLE DOUBT. To find him not guilty, you don't have to be 100% sure, but clearly there is more than enough evidence to meet reasonable doubt.

79 Creepy.

A million times this.

85 re 58: I recall self-appointed community spokesmen accusing korean store owners in los angeles (during the rodney king riots in 1992) of "disrespecting the community" because they were shooting to keep rioters away.

rioting is a form of protected speech, you know

86 So the movie that gets twice the ratings (and cost less than half as much to produce) than anything on MSNBC is a ratings bust?

87

>>I have never heard a sound like this before.

 

Have you checked for any sharks that may have come in through the windows or roof?

88 64 rickb223,

Yeah no I agree.  In essence the FL GOP said "here have sentencing an innocent man to prison on your conscience to stop riots" to a group of citizens....

I hope the jury is intelligent enough to understand there is no shield from evil by acquiescence to it....

89 The jury needs to do what's right and answer to the world, not race baiting loser hucksters like Eric dick Holder, Jesse Jaxshun, & Al TaWanna Hymee Sharpton. Riots will ensue either way and it will be fun to watch the race-tards burn their shit down.

90 I hope the jury waits until I'm safe at home before they find him guilty and the "spontaneous riots" begin...

91 >>I think the jury will deliberate for a long time, and they should. I don't think they should. This is not a close call. All of the physical evidence and just plain commonsense shows this as a clear case of self-defense. This case never should have been brought to trial and it wouldn't have been if not for all the racial bullshit going on in this country right now. Not guilty.

92 There was no black dude in Sharknado who got eaten by a great white-hispanic shark. Posted by: Chris Matthews at July 12, 2013 04:06 PM (wAQA5) There was in Two-Headed Shark. The dude actually exploded lol.

93 If I'm the foreman, I take a secret ballot: guilty, not-guilty, undecided... if there are 2 or more not-guilty I tell the rest based on the ballot, there does not seem to be a way for there to be a conviction.  Instruct them to send everyone in their households to a relative's house and we will re-convene tomorrow for lunch, and in-depth consideration

94 korean store owners in los angeles (during the rodney king riots in 1992) of "disrespecting the community" because they were shooting to keep rioters away If Republicans would simply legalize rioting, then they would show some respect for this important community of voters.

95

Was just at the Gym working out and the TV had the "analysis" right after the judge's instructions. Admittedly, I was too disgusted to watch it as closely as I should have and was trying to follow closed caption, but my takeaway was: one guy had problems with Zimmerman but didn't seem to think prosecution proved their case. Another was talking about how engrossed the jury was over the prosecutor's demonstration of the fight and how powerful a closing argument the prosecution made. And another was talking about how there were four or five mothers on that jury and well, you get the picture...

 

Jesus wept.

96 Look how this is turning out.

Sharknado was a hoot.

 

Who knew that tornados could be so well behaved...remaining stationary like that, so that the heroes could hover in a helicopter beside them and toss propane-bombs into them.

 

Loved the John Carter-esque scene at the end, with the chainsaw.

Heh.

 

100 rioting is a form of protected speech, you know So is shooting rioters. Translated, it means "NO".

101 Instruct them to send everyone in their households to a relative's house and we will re-convene tomorrow for lunch, and in-depth consideration Posted by: The Chicken at July 12, 2013 04:08 PM (Pr6hk) Nice thought. They can NOT leave sequester until they get a verdict,

102 There will be riots.  If Zimmerman is acquitted, blacks will riot because of the "injustice" that needs to be "addressed."

If he's found guilty, blacks will riot so they can kill as many whites as they can with impunity, thinking that they are now above the law.

Either way, riots.  I hope a lot of newspeople get caught up in the chaos.

103 94 The Political Hat,

if the courts were smart they'd announce the verdict at 4:45 am monday morning.....

of course "smart" again which America sold out of a while back.

104 Poor Sharknado, getting no respect. I want The End of the World to be rerun soon because that was honest to God hilarious. Seriously, it was the Horde does the apocalypse, including having go bags labeled for the different kinds of catastrophes.

105 According to Krugman, rioting is a form of economic stimulus because all that destruction is guaranteed to spur local spending. Win-win!!!

106 The Great Gypsy,’ Ornell on Hempstead reading list The Hempstead Public Schools has some unique items on its summer reading list this year: F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gypsy,” and authors George Ornell and Emily Bonte, to name a few.

A call to Hempstead superintendent Susan Johnson was not immediately returned. ---- Or it was returned but sine he has dyslexia he reversed a couple numbers and called the wrong person back.

107 What I want to know is why NOAA isn't using propane bombs to stop tornadoes in OK? Something is "fishy" about this.

108 So is shooting rioters.

It's a part of my cultural heritage.

137 PJmedia has a link to a website trying to organize a national protest over the verdict "however it comes out", protest either way to 'stop mass incarceration'.

I'm five hundred miles from anywhere, so I'll be watching with interest. I don't think the buses run this far north.

148

The longer the deliberations, I think the worse it is for Zimmerman.  If they come back quickly, it will be Not Guilty by reason of DumbAss Prosecutors Who Should Never Have Indicted.

I think there's no way in hell Zimmerman should be convicted.  But never underestimate the stupidity of a population that would elect Obumbles twice.

149 Who is surprised at the racism. After all, they WERE Mexican sharks. True "wetbacks".

150 117 RM,

a guilty verdict is a message to blacks that they are immune to self-defense...

it is a toxic horrific fucking set of instructions to our society at large because it is an effort by democrats to turn a minority into a protected class of felon....

the American people will not be cowed as quickly as the English were on the matter and it will lead to more violent interactions not less.

It also means I am going to go ahead and get a compact 9mm for carry and my Ohio CCW if/when I go home.

Technically, the ruling may very well.  I've heard that idea expressed by multiple sources.  However, given that the State Attorney General refuses to do his job and defend Prop 8, it doesn't matter because the state will automatically lose every subsequent court case when other people sue.

Another thing,  after the LA Riots there was a small riot in Dallas at the Dallas Cowboys victory parade.  Blacks beating any whites they could find in the crowd.  Several were announcing,  "LA had their riots,  now it's our turn!"  No reason other than that.  And even that's not really a reason to riot.  It reminded me of a certain Michael Caine movie made in 1964.

189

My office is in a somewhat "challenged" neighborhood in the NE, a Democrat blue state stronghold. Inner city, every few years there are body outline chalk lines on the sidewalk, you get the picture. During the height of the Rodney King rioting, I pretty much walked around freely outside, patronized a couple of the local businesses, etc. I was conscious of what I was seeing on TV and wondered if there would be any tension, but there wasn't, and I never had any problem.

 

Very curious how this will go down. Am hoping it turns into a big false alarm.

___________________

I've had the same thought. The good news was when Sparky launched his "Chik-Fil-A hate a gay" outrage campaign there was only one queer that rose to the bait. So the hope is that blacks, like gays, have wised up to being baited by Sparky and his Gang and will show the same smarts and restraint as gays. The downside is blacks haven't wised up. To figure the odds, we would have to compare the median IQs for blacks and gays and then ignore the number of black teen flash mobs that occured this year. Not looking good for evolution.

The jurors want to go home and do not want another day away from the families. The juror who is in the finance business and who the State sought to strike is the best bet for a hung jury.

212 Damn it I'm talking to myself in the last thread.... Fail. Out: Hail Satan In: Impale with Tampax Yes, really. See the link thing

213 I think the brothers are sort of rioted out. Most of the riots in the 60's had a lot of baby boomers, now the population is not that big, and most Black areas have been invaded by Hispanics. That has to put a cram on things. Someone said Compton is only 60% Black now? Also, cops have a lot more shit to fuck with people. I don't expect much. TV camera on 20 thugs at a bar.

214 And it's not letting me post the link (damn it all to hell) but there's a pic of a 12 yr old (age not confirmed but she's young) floating around on teh twitterz holding a sign that says 'Jesus wasn't a dick; so keep him out of my vagina'.

215 211 Thanks to you all, that gives me some ideas. I am pretty sure I can't get fennel pollen but the garlic-lemon rind compound butter I can swing. --- If you could find Herbs de Provence or Fines Herbs (most grocery stores have those now), those could be nice, too. Just something mild and fragrant (as opposed to a really in your face Mediterranean mix) might be nice.

227 195 DAve,

Dave I am thinking of handloading as a means to an end...the SWC was the preferred stopping round for a period of time, there are valid forensic reasons.

It's true JHPs and Defense Rounds are more lethal but since any legal shoot is going to be subject to Forensic Cowboys and these histrionics it is better to have an easily malleable lead based round....

you can use a swage to render SWCs into SWCHPs I plan to handload or use a progressive as a matter of rote and find the sweet spot for my carry pistol.

228 I hope when the jury is finished deliberating, the media announces the verdict is upcoming and gives people and businesses at least a couple of hours to prepare.  If I had a business nearby, I'd close up shop and get out of dodge (and make sure my insurance was paid up).  Get the cops in place, monitor social media, etc.  Hell, this is a great opportunity for the NSA spies to make a PR brownie point.

In fact, it's not only Sanford but places like LA and Chicago that need to be prepared to.  It would be really nice if the aftermath of this verdict convinces the usual suspects that it is not in their best interest to riot and loot, going forward.  However that might be accomplished.

I'm really, really glad my teenage niece and nephew who live a couple of hours away from Sanford are several states away from FL for the next few weeks.

I layered a very thick and large chunk of Halibut over the thin, French style green beans in a glass pan, topped it with a layer of thin slices of lemon, and baked it in the oven. Very simple, but the fresh Halibutt didn't need anything real edgy. Served with a loaf of french bread and a green salad, it was a great summer meal.

I'd say something about how that's not how Guerrilla Warfare works but that would sound racist.

265 The entire sharknado phenomenon was explained thus: "...due to global warming..." And as usual, that's all the evidence that was required.

266

I caught Sharknado, at least in the "had it on while tooling away at something" sense.

 

 

I thought it was hilarious. It doesn't seem like too many things make me laugh out loud these days, but this was one of them.

 

 

I think the first thing that made me laugh was when they blamed it on "Global Warming" (or did they call it "Climate Change"?). Such things used to piss me off, maybe even get me to turn the channel in protest, but with it being border-line outright disproven these days, I find it funny to see it where it belongs - in a silly movie where everything about the plot is outrageously ridiculous.

 

 

Another scene that stands out for some reason is when the school bus driver is standing in an open area alone, having just cheated death and proclaiming as much. they kept me waiting for a long time to see how buys it - and so even that was outrageously overdone, too. Hell, it was so blinding obvious with that guy, I wouldn't even consider this comment a "spoiler"!

 

It took all of about 5 seconds for the jerky, rude boyfriend of the ex-wife to get eaten - by a shark flying in through the window, or something equally absurd. Again, it was all about the absurdity - oh, and about the babes too, of course!

 

 

I think there was even a line where the did a "Jaws" callback, and said "I think we're going to need a bigger ... helicopter!  Hilarious!!

 

267 Conger eels are ugly and nasty and would be an awesome thing to have infest say, the Academy Awards presentation.  Or the Grammies.  I'm not picky.

My brother and his family was in town for the Fourth and I took them to a favorite brewery/restaurant. For years, they used to do halibut for their fish and chips, and it was awesome. Unfortunately, they recently changed the type of fish. Still tasty, but it really wasn't the same.

I am an over-achiever with potential daughter-in-law projects (unlike my own MIL who I rarely please). i aim to please, except for one chick in high school, he appears to have good taste in girlfriends, and there have been many (for example: Amy I and II; Christina I, II, and III).

At the same time, the ex-long-term-girl friend is terrified of me...son said so. I sort of liked that I am a mean one, Mr. Grinch, especially if you mess with my boys. As it is, the red-headed little twit an hour south of me had better continue to hope she never crosses my path again after her little display a year ago and breaking my son's kind heart ON MY BIRTHDAY and with family visiting. She is lucky not to have been plucked bald.

273 264 240 Nighthawk, Rare enough I treat the 15 I have as gold... Posted by: sven10077@sven10077 at July 12, 2013 04:35 PM (LRFds) ==== Indeed. I've got a dozen for the wife's revolver and 2 mags for my 1911 Strictly for the real deal. FMJ rounds for training

274 253 redmindbluestate,

ehhh

"yes" of course I won't load my primary carry rounds until I master the craft and it will be a joy to master.

I understand your concern and the attempted "you shot with a defective bullet" angle in a civil trial but the states I'm likely to be settled in if/when I resume carrying are all immunity if self-defense states.

I'm of the FMJ for practice and JHP/Defense/or handloads for use school from the simple standpoint of cost/utility/and forensics in trial standpoint.

At the end of the day I made the decision to stop carrying, and if I decide to legally resume it will also be a decision.

I quit carrying because I determined it to be of a diminished utility to the threat matrixes I faced in non security work life and the environments I was in being too often on Federal land where it is problematic.

In my civilian life when not being paid to carry I have had maybe two situations where I decided on reflection I would have felt safer with a weapon.

I'm not playing "web commando" but I usually carry myself in such a way most people look for easier touches.

The thing is the Race Hustler industry is egging their target audience into ever increasing feelings of immunity to reciprocity for physical misdeeds and as I age I am less prone to find the possibility of facing an attack unarmed entertaining.

In suburbia thus far the threat matrix I have found does not justify carry for most situations, and if need be on my own property carry is not an issue.

I take my shooting pretty seriously when I am engaged in the activity, and I will not use inferior handloaded rounds for carry if/when I resume until I know my quality is as good as most JHP.

Here's a rebuttal to typical legal concerns, and I am ruminating the issue with probably a 2 to 4.5 year window to reflect.

I can cast SWCs to swage to SWCHPs for the cost of block of lead....

SWCs were the baseline professional standard for about 25 years in law enforcement....

"good enough" often is.

275 How many Orlando area morons are here? I'm outta town. Shoulda armed my wife with some riot gear before I left.

276 If acquitted I think that the Zimmerman's would really like Costa Rica.  Sue the hell out of the networks, NYC and anyone else.  Take an early retirement and enjoy all of the beauty that CR has to offer.

277 A good reason to use a 9mm is that it is the preferred weapon and round of the homeboy. Mix up your case color and the cops will think it's just another thug on thug shooting.

278 In case any of you guys hadn't seen it, you'll be amused to know that both O'Mara and West have made political donations to Nelson in the past.

I did read that today.  I wonder if that is par for the course for trial lawyers to butter both sides of their bread.  O'Mara and West both do a lot of family law cases as well.

Rare enough I treat the 15 I have as gold...

 

Hell, ammo is now so scarce at this point that I'm treating ALL my factory hollowpoints as gold.  This includes shitty Tulammo 7.62 x 39 AK fodder and dudomatic Remmy .22LR Golden Bullets.

280 In Sharknado 2 I'd like there to be a role for John Kerry as "The Yachtsman".

281

I hadn't followed the Zimmerman thing any more than I could help before, but decided I'd check out the 4 hours today, as a summary.

 

 

The whole thing doesn't really matter.  The only important thing about it is something we already know - that the only reason we're even hearing about what is really just a local story is that the media salivated over the idea of a white guy hunting down a black guy out of sheer bigotry - just the same way they were openly hoping that the Boston bombing was a Tea Partier. When the facts came out that no such thing was going on, they didn't care, and set about trying to ruin Mr. Zimmerman's life anyway. He wouldn't even be on trial, if not for them.

 

 

The defense guy put together a seeming well-reasoned story that pointed out reasonably well that the victim had every opportunity to walk away, but instead decided to go beat on Zimmerman. All the prosecution had was calling Martin an unarmed "child", making fun of the defense's video, making an a claim that Zimmerman had hatred in his heart (without saying why Zimmerman would hate him), and claiming that couldn't have gotten at his gun if he were  pinned like he said he was (which didn't seem credible - there ought to be "wiggle room". He said Treyvon's last few minutes were "just trying to get home" when they were really trying to beat the crap out of someone whose "crime" was simply keeping an eye on him.

 

 

The prosecution doesn't really have anything, but you never know what a bunch of moms will come up with, and maybe a reasonable person could decide that Zimmerman was unreasonable in his use of force. I wouldn't even venture an opinion, unless I was a juror, but the story of a "white guy" hunting down a black guy for being black is actually laughable, considering he was calling it in to 911 in the process. So all I really know for sure is that it doesn't really rate as a national news story.

 

282

I am sure that the OWS types and the Black Panthers will get along just fine!

 

What your average denizen of the OWS camps doesn't get thru their pot haze is that the BP's hate the whites in that group just as much as anyone else.  Not a lot of brotherhood will take place.

283 any reason is a reason: in Oct 1977 the Commodores did a show at Madison Sq Garden in NYC. Sold out. Some of the people who showed up hoping to buy tickets for the show were disappointed that there were no tickets left, so they headed north on 8th Ave attacking white people.

And that's why Parliament > Commodores.

284 291 Cheri,

the nice thing is if nature takes its course the NBPPs will give warning of their intentions ON the occutards for the normal folk...

285 sven - That would be sweet.  I denounce myself!

286 I'm South of Miami, where they are now describing as ground zero for riot activity. Yawn. Wifey grabbed an extra 1.75L of EtOH just in case.

287 You know, if the savages try to attack white/hispanic/asian/jewish people and scores of neo-Zimmermans respond, could something good happen? A sort of "I am Spartacus" for the 21st century?

288
After listening to MOM, I was feeling positive for GZ. Then, I read the bio's of the jurors and that one was "wiping away tears" after Guy's rebuttal. I have lost all hope.

Source for the tear wiping was the AP...so take it with a grain of salt. It is just as likely the juror was discreetly flipping the AP reporter the bird, as wiping a tear.

289 On a related note, I really do wish I was there, and armed, at Florence and Normandie, South Central LA, on that day in April 29, 1992, when those frour savages beat Reginald Denny.

290 Which of the Zimmerman jurors will be played by Hendy Fonda and which by Lee J Cobb?

291 Zimmerman,  Not Guilty.   Mr Good is the guilty one,  if he had answered Zimms call for help and pulled the thug off of him Zimm would not have to shoot TM and he would still be stealing womens jewelry today....

My in house defense is Winchester model 12  12 guage, that due to little duck hunting accident is now sawed off to 21 inches, loaded with 7.... 2-3/4 inch copper plated 4 shot. Hold trigger down, firing pin stays out and rounds load right into pin firing as fast or faster than semi auto. I'm confident nothing gets down my hallway to the kids room unless  its a zombie.

293 Drinkin peeps. Justeeze r bust them creepy cracka azzes

294 Well, all the bussed in outrage is over in Texas at the moment working on the right to kill children in the womb, only about 12 idiots in front of the court house..  No rioting today, sorry...

295 299 Which of the Zimmerman jurors will be played by Hendy Fonda and which by Lee J Cobb? Screw that!! I want to know who's going to play Fred Begley

296 Joe Bite Me had it wrong the sporting goods stores gun racks and ammo shelves aren't empty because a whole bunch of men and womens decided to suddenly hunt deer out of season, its because they fear an outbreak of black panthers, bangers and the Lyin kINGS Just-Us Dept.

297 Need to bring back Chris Farley from the grave. His portrayal of the judge would be classic. He may have to gain some weight for the role.

299 Listened to every minute of the trial. I also had streaming going on from a pro-traytable site We were watching different trials.

300 justeez 4 am high

301 I thought Bryan Cranston did an EXCELLENT job as a defense lawyer. Bravo!

302 Jury suspends for the day. Hope the Lyin kINGS messengers dont get to em tonight. I hope to wake to sunshine and an innocent man turned loose to sue the hell out of the jacksunville clown posse and Rev Not So Sharpton.

303 #311: And the media for libel.

304 @306 Ouch.

305 Very curious how this will go down. Am hoping it turns into a big false alarm.

Posted by: RM at July 12, 2013 04:22 PM (/Frlf)

Here's hoping there will be riots planned and no one but Al shows up, with a few paid hobos for good measure.

306 @306 Sheesh...she is not that big, especially for an older woman. People gain weight as they get older. Why do the men on this site, and other conservative sites, more than any other, find it "cool" and acceptable to mock a woman for her weight? Do none of you have daughters? Wives? Sisters? It makes it hard for me to enjoy sites like this, Hotair, Twitchy, etc, when men are such a-holes.
