Update. Sorry, but the poll was/is a neccessary set-up of sorts.  I set it up to, identify an issue, prove a theory and simultaneously identify some agenda driven site users.    The poll is tracking ip addresses and allows voting multiple times. I can see who is trying to skew the poll and therefore identify “guests” with diminished integrity.
Looks like the theory is quite statistically valid. (more…)

Update at 4:01 p.m. ET:   Zimmerman’s parents, Robert and Gladys, put up their home as collateral to get their son released, according to papers released by the Seminole County sheriff, USA TODAY’s Yamiche Alcindor reports.  Zimmerman will also pay $9.50 a day for his electronic monitoring.
Update at 3:20 p.m. ET:  Read the judge’s bail order … (pdf file).
SANFORD, Fla. —George Zimmerman was released from the Seminole County Jail around 2:50 p.m. Friday after posting a $1,000,000 bond.  A Florida judge ruled Thursday that George Zimmerman can be released from jail a second time on $1 million bond, saying he set the bail amount significantly higher because Zimmerman may have been hiding money as part of a plot to flee the country.

Some will say: “What if they fire O’Mara and you’re wrong”?
To which I respond: “What if they don’t and I’m right”? ……….Which is worse?
Much of what we flesh out upon this site is passionate debate in an ongoing conversation; it ain’t a speech and no voice is stronger than another.  Nothing wrong with that.   Nor is there any opposition on my end to intellectual debate so long as the precepts for the conversation are based on facts and truths.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, there is no judgement here because just as sure as the neighbors will hear us screaming at each other tonight, tomorrow we might just be listening to their airing out the house too.

When Mark O’Mara first stepped onto the scene in the George Zimmerman case, April 10th, I watched intently and deferred opinion in favor of research.  And when I say research, I mean R.E.S.E.A.R.C.H.  deep vetting research. Y’all know how we roll.
When O’Mara took to the airwaves on April 11th, to discuss the charge of 2nd degree murder, I watched:

I’m nobody, and this is just my opinion.   Disregard it, take it with a grain of salt, consider it irrelevant.  I’m certainly not in your shoes, but for what it’s worth:

George, STAY IN JAIL !  – Sometimes the worst thing you can give your opposition is exactly what they want.  The entire bond construct, including restrictions, are beyond ridiculous and absurd.
Save your money, stay in jail.   Take control and use the situation to your advantage.    Use the money you would have spent on freedom to hire a media team to get the truth out.   Frame your own narrative.   Yeah, you have $211,000 to defend yourself against the onslaught, but tell your story.

Judge Lester is specifically and intentionally using his power to manipulate the Orlando court system, in a flawed ideological effort to avoid being on the wrong side of those political forces who can bring him down.  It appears George Zimmerman is being set up to fail with the current Bond Ruling.

The Judicial Order establishing bond has been structured and worded with the specific intent of “using” the legal system to produce a  “desired outcome” (key words “using” and “desired”).
IMHO  –  Representation from “outside” Seminole County is needed asap, and serious consideration should be given to keeping GZ in jail for the moment.   Safer ten-fold. (more…)

Witness “John” said he saw the guy with the dark hoodie on top of the guy wearing red. The guy wearing red was crying for help, the Hoodie wearing guy was beating him MMA style “ground and pound“….

The speculation about the actual encounter between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin continues to be obfuscated and presented in disingenuous terms.   It is time to address the actual known facts about the physical encounter.  Period.
As a 17-year-old matriculating young man Trayvon Martin was actively a follower of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) style street fighting.   Research into his known interests reveal that Trayvon was not only prone to enjoyment of MMA street fighting, but he was an avid follower and participant. This is evidenced by his own U-Tube subscriptions to MMA fights and his conversations with others about it.   He watched videos, followed MMA fights, and even participated with other friends in acting it out.

Again, as a reminder, if you look at Arm wrestling brother subscription Trayvon had to trujillodragonhulk, on the surface it seems innocuous. But it deals with, and showcases, underground fighting, and MMA style street fights. Go check it out. It looks like it became an interest to Trayvon around the time he had a signficant growing spurt, about a year ago (April/May 2011). (more…)
