Point, Counterpoint

Mike McDaniel has an excellent summary of the closing arguments presented by both sides at George Zimmerman's trial. You've read or heard that the state's case was weak; the summations show just how weak.

My hat's off to the six jurors who did their duty in the face of enormous pressure to do precisely the opposite.

Update: Economist and sage, Thomas Sowell, weighs in.

Update II: It's all about the white rage.

The State had no case, and they knew it. The prosecution's hyper-aggressive approach was a deliberate attempt to cover up that weakness, hoping the jury would be swayed by "passion" alone.

Deborah .... George Zimmerman was found not guilty by the jury, but guilty by the low information/non-critical thinking people, like my co-worker. He came in today wearing a new t-shirt featuring 3 outlined figures with caption. Black, life. Brown, 15 years. White, probation. Really disgusting propoganda that was disproven by this verdict. Equally disgusting is his excuse that "it's just a joke".

WHAT pisses me off is that the prosecution thought that women would ignore the facts and make a decision solely based on the prosecution's emotional plea.

Dipshits.

I read all the comments at that Twitchy #WhiteRage post and I'm still laughing. Good healthy ridicule, it's our best weapon against the leftist savages.

Apparently, young Eddie changed his name from "Wankoff". Or was it "Wackoff"?

Cheers

Oh yeah, white rage. Tell me about it. I am so pissed off that after dinner this evening I tipped my waitress only 12%.

I also asked where she was getting her degree and sneered "I hope you didn't take out a student loan for that crap school!"

Suck on that, minority persons of color!

White rage? I am seriously considering shredding my Costco card.

I shichu not.

No one can tell me anything about white rage. I ordered a DOUBLE SHOT in my cinnamon latte!

Yeah, who's your daddy?

Wait till all of the Einsteins out there figure out Zimmerman is Hispanic and not Anglo.

Whoa, Steve, get a grip!

Has anyone else noticed that whenever Rachel Jeantel goes on the cable news shows, she makes George Zimmerman's self-defense claim stronger?

All I can say is, "You go girl! Keep on talkin'!"
