So Zimmerman is charged with 2nd degree murder.

Here's the latest from the favorite dad:

Yes you delusional old bat. Call and wait several minutes for that "back up" when your life can be taken in seconds. Fantastic how everyone is assuming Zimmerman was the aggressor when no evidence has been shown to back that claim.

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin announced Friday he will hold hearings on so-called “stand your ground” laws passed by states, interjecting Congress in the ongoing controversy surrounding the death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

The hearings, to be held in September, will address concerns from Democrats that laws allowing the use of deadly force in the face of a physical threat have altered the legal meaning of self-defense. Hispanic neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman successfully argued against a second-degree murder charge by insisting he shot Martin, a black youth, because he felt his life was in danger.

In what is sure to be a politically charged setting, the hearings will also tackle “when racial profiling and ‘stand your ground’ laws mix,” according to a release from Durbin, D-Ill, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights. Civil rights advocates have called for an investigation by the federal Justice Department into whether race played a role in the death of Martin, who was not carrying a weapon and was returning home after a trip to a connivence store when he was approached by Zimmerman.

Durbin also wants the committee to look at the role of the National Rifle Association and the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council in crafting and promoting “stand your ground” laws and similar legislation in about 30 states.

Hey, morons! Stand Your Ground wasn't used in Zimmerman's defense!

Further, why the hell should I have a duty or obligation to run away when some azz is coming at me with the intent to do harm? I love the liberal/Democrat mindset of even the victim has to ACT like a victim.

Bravo, Charles. He could have been reading my mind.

Charles Barkley telling it like it is:

At least he looked at the evidence, but he said Zimmerman was racial profiling. But at least he says there's racist blacks, too.

Yes Mr. Barack Racerracebaterson. I always make it a habit to follow the black folk around and profile them. I always lock my door when "you people" stroll on by...

Even Cosby has gone fucking retarded.

And Obama just said "I could have been Trayvon". Can some half-ican make that happen?

That's not a bad article.

That's not a bad article.

It's racist and biased. Holder should definitely be looking in on the author's shenanigans.

How did Z get so fuckin fat? Food?

He can't leave his place of hiding, no gym, massive anxiety and stress. He's probably a stress/comfort eater. It was also stated that he was previously overweight and had been going to the gym and was losing it, take that away and POOF.

Nothing like stoking the racial fires. What a POS POTUS.

Paraphrase Obama:" If Trayvon Martin had a firearm on him he would have been justified shooting Mr Zimmerman who was following him because he felt threatened" then went on to say "we need new programs to protect and encourage black male youth ".

Ummm...no, that would have been murder, dumbass!

As was I. I figured they needed some sort of angle to win sympathy from whoever was following this case.
