the white hispanic or your point about that, the same dynamic which produced george zimmerman produced president obama, but he s considered black. the white hispanic is something that was a media construct. that was created to paint zimmerman, because of his name zimmerman, as white. if his name was rodriguez we d have a different picture. as we now see his family, his members, his community, look at the town of sanford for what it is, 48% white, 29% black, mixed race hispanic about 11% and so on. the dynamic falls under the facts. the fact is this was a tragedy. i think we can all agree with that. yes. that should never have happened. what has happened since then has been a travesty of trying to come to a predetermined outcome based on before the two actually interacted with each other. that s what the law was. how do you mean predetermined outcome? sfwl in florida, you can charge under florida law with bias which they also did not do.
zimmerman since we know it to be his gun yes. would have racked it to make sure it was ready to fire and put another bullet in the magazine and reloaded it, correct? yes. as a matter of fact, probably every law enforcement gun you ve had a chance to see, that is normal, that there is one racked in the chamber and a full magazine, correct? yes. military do that, correct? i m not sure. so mark, clearly the prosecution is trying to paint zimmerman as a trigger happy wannabe cop with a bullet in the chamber. it seems like the defense did a good job of pointing out that s not so unusual. not only is it not unusual, but if you re in a situation where you want to defend yourself, that s exactly what you do. that s why cops do it. it s why the military does it. i suppose it s why somebody on neighborhood watch does it. so i don t understand what the point of that witness was,
