Why did you think that there would be rioting?

What there will be, sadly, is more shootings in Florida of citizens by other citizens as most people seem to be okay with lowering the standards of the taking of a human life as set forth in the so-called 'stand your ground' law.

And, of course, some human life is more devalued than others.

What a country!

Prepare for a LOT of rioting...

Ironically enough, there isn't ANY threat of rioting if Zimmerman is wrongly convicted..

Funny how that is, eh?? :^/

Heheh. I think if I were stuck in a hospital w/ nothing on but CNN right now I would go Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

That is all.

You shoulda been around here for the Casey Anthony trial.. The verdict came in right after I had an emergency appendectomy and was in ICU for 10 days...

Nurses delayed my sponge bath so they could watch the trial..

Or maybe it was because I am fat, bald and ugly..

Not sure.. :D

In any case, it will be over soon.. The defense could rest today w/o calling a single witness, the jury will deliberate for about an hour (if that) and Zimmerman would walk, a free man..

The prosecution's case was awesome.... For the defense... :^/

There's more going on in the world than the George Zimmerman trial.

That is all.

The only Sanford Shooting I'd be interested in is about the "Prey" novels by John Sandford.

He's known for his unorthodox and manipulative behavior as a detective, reminiscent of "Dirty Harry" Callahan.

Sounds like my kind of cop.. :D

"I know what yer thinking. Yer thinking, 'did he fire 5 shots or 6?'.. Well, ta tell you the truth, in all the excitement, I kinda lost track myself. But, being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
'Do I feel lucky?' Well... Do ya... Punk"
-Dirty Harry

:D

I actually got side-tracked on the next FLYNN novel.. I came across ONE SECOND AFTER and it's thoroughly engrossing..

Think LUCIFER'S HAMMER updated for the here and now...

I highly recommend it..

If you haven't read any of them, give the series a try :)

If you want to have a good Sanford Shooting discussion, try here:

Once they got past the initial "Michale-shock" :D things settled down to a very good discussion....

There's Snowden...

There's Egypt..

There's SecState Kerry on his yacht while Egypt burns...

There's ObamaCare delay..

There's NSA spying..

There's IRS targeting (Lerner's offered to tell all in exchange for immunity)..

There's boots on the ground in Syria..

There's a new Benghazi witness that the Administration is hiding..

There's Tea Party gearing up for Immigration fight..

There's the Administration's war on coal and energy independence...

I could go on and on (and often do!!! :D) but ya'all get the idea...

But (again echoing Liz) if anyone has deserved time off, it's ya! :D

Sorry for the lack of a Friday Talking Points column this week, but, well, everyone was on vacation and not much happened in the American political world.

Are you kidding!?

Well, in any event, I hope you are enjoying some of your own well-earned and much-deserved vacation time.
