*Update #2* Fun Mail – For Futting Nuckhousers

Update Apparently, Ms. Laura has a modified approach.   “Retreat” might be the better descriptive;  but then again, sunlight hurts.

[Laura Wilcox writes]  In response to your letter,

First, my comments regarding (showing angst) towards the Zimmerman’s, family, friends, etc. are no different than that of your many “regulars” posting here regarding Trayvon, family, friends, etc., as I am sure you yourself can agree with. If you don’t, well I guess that means we see things differently.

Perhaps, firstly and however, your angst, anger, and bitter attack was not targeted toward “others”. You directed your attack at me, Sundance Cracker (that’s me) and the site, The Conservative Treehouse, not toward those of association. A key distiction you disingenuously avoid.

Secondly, any AND ALL, posts written by me, shared upon this site, are based on FACT, reflected and shared with opinion. In not ONE of those opinions will you find a personal attack against Trayvon Martin, his Family, or any member of his acquaintence. If a man is using drugs, seeks drugs, and brags about using drugs to include pictures of himself engaged in the solicitation of -and use toward- drug dependency, it is NOT an attack to point to his use and share opinion about the behavior.

As Expected – Miami Herald Frances Robles Parses Osterman’s Book For Damage To George Zimmerman

An avid advocate for the Trayvon Martin family and legal team, Frances Robles, critiques the Osterman book for inconsistencies in George Zimmerman’s account. We previously outlined the short-sighted risk and unintended consequences from misplaced advocacy within the book itself; and as expected every aspect of the Mark Osterman account is being dissected to create an inconsistent narrative.

MIAMI — Trayvon Martin grabbed his killer’s gun just moments before he died and uttered a profanity-laced threat. In a desperate life-or-death struggle, George Zimmerman clutched Trayvon’s wrist, broke his grip on the semi-automatic firearm and shot him once in the chest.

That account appears in a new book written by Zimmerman’s best friend and confidante.

There’s just one problem: Zimmerman never said that to the police.

Now the book, Defending Our Friend: The Most Hated Man in America, and author Mark Osterman’s two television interviews have landed on the prosecution evidence list, as more versions of Zimmerman’s story emerge. A man who wrote a book calling Zimmerman “the kindest and most sincere” person will wind up in court — for the prosecution, experts agree. (more…)
