I don't think the DA wanted this case. Period. And it shows in the unconvincing manner he is presenting it.

Justice today has little to do with who is innocent or guilty. The justice system is merely a tool for pushing the collectivist agenda. Prosecution is all about convictions. The DA wants the conviction in this case to bolster any political aspirations.

All those who think that Zimmerman will be acquitted stop and think for a moment. Clear your mind and slowly review the state of things in the good old US of A since barry was elected. Would you have imagined the breadth and depth of the overt corruption and scandal that is rampant?

Then, once you have a firm grasp on that, tell me how much you really trust any part of the system, be it the national executive, legislative, or judicial, or any part of the system on down to the local level.
Trust. This word means nothing these days. Who here wants to trust any system even when you are totally innocent and legal.
Innocent and legal.
Zimmerman is so screwed. He is essentially a dead man walking.

That is court. However normally it is the defense that is challenging your investigation, not the prosecution.

I think the "outside influences" want this to go to trial and want Zimmerman to get an acquittal. Clearly even the special prosecutor didn't want this until someone came in and forced it to go to trial.
Even now as we watch the prosecution completely fail, it's like they either want to loose the case or they were ordered to loose it.
Why would they be told to loose it? I think there's a group in power that wants to let the predicted race riots happen. I think they want an excuse to test out their civil disturbance plans, I think they want to go door to door "rescuing" people, take their firearms, and relocate them to FEMA "safe zones". I think they want to use drones on US citizens. I think DHS wants to use all those bullets they've been purchasing and those armored vehicles they have (allegedly) acquired.
Having a Zimmerman acquittal at this point in time is the perfect catalyst for all of that.

Is that a serious prediction? I mean, do you actually believe that's what is going on here.ShepherdTX wrote: I think there's a group in power that wants to let the predicted race riots happen.

If so, how are you preparing to deal with it?
Re: 17y/o Killed By Neighborhood Watch/CHL
I hope the voters of Florida make this trial an election issue. I sure would, if I lived there.
Re: 17y/o Killed By Neighborhood Watch/CHL
You guys are right. It is a sad commentary on America that there will probably be riots if justice is served, but there is very little risk of direct action if injustice prevails.
