boy, was that Dan Fielding hungry for some cake! (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 14:41 (twelve years ago) link

well tbf the book he's referencing is still has Jones the author. but it's p funny that he missed the chance to drop "AMIRI BARAKA" in the context of shaming do-gooder liberals acting like they know about black people

The guy only has one target - white do-gooder liberals. Every day he reads the headlines and works out how to shape one of them into a hammer with which to bang the same old nail.

Dan I love you so much!

Good. Maybe they'll issue a warrant and Zimmerman will be, uh, "shot while escaping" from a US Marshall.

he's left the country

They also said they do not know where Zimmerman is.

“You can stop looking in Florida,” Uhrig told reporters. “Look much further away than that.”

Who the fuck are these alleged ex-laywers?

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link

his being out of the country is a distinct possibility. looking forward to the extradition fight lol

Jilly Boel and the Eltones (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 18:47 (twelve years ago) link

and it's not like he jumped bail, thx to the Sanford PD

Jilly Boel and the Eltones (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 18:47 (twelve years ago) link

ok let's catch the subtlety here

Yet the wildly popular post-Trayvon hoodie trend also has the ugly whiff of “slumming it”, even of “blacking up”, where decent white folk parade around in public in the get-up of a class of people they have little connection with or knowledge of.

The black social critic LeRoi Jones once described blacking up...

hmm

easter back, somebody call the binks truck (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:11 (twelve years ago) link

he can't be tried in absentia and we'll probably never see his sorry ass in this country again. which is something at least.

if he was paranoid racist before man just imagine where he's at now

first thing that popped into my head was "Cabo"

God, Music and Romeo and Juliet (DJP), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:14 (twelve years ago) link

Zimmerman can wear a ramen noodle wig and shades in Cabo and everyone will think he's Sammy.

argh see now he really gets to become a folk hero for assholes.

Is there any verification of him actually having left the country, or is that just speculation/joeks?

1 of paper = 4 of coin (Deric W. Haircare), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:22 (twelve years ago) link

he was spotted in spain earlier today

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:23 (twelve years ago) link

I was speculating

catbus otm (gbx), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:23 (twelve years ago) link

speculation/joeks but if I was him I totally would have left the country. it's his ideal option.

Jilly Boel and the Eltones (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:24 (twelve years ago) link

guilty admission: I'm getting to the point where the "ha, in your face conservatards" thrill of an indictment would outweigh the actual sense of justice/relief

i don't believe in zimmerman (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:26 (twelve years ago) link

Be more hilarious if the prosecutor announced Zimmerman was pleading guilty.

i'd be surprised if he fled.

he did flee, it's just that he fled to his mom's closet

Not sure anything about this case could surprise me anymore

boy, was that Dan Fielding hungry for some cake! (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:29 (twelve years ago) link

all the conservatives who have fallen back on the position of "whoa whoa hold on now, don't rush to judgement, we need to decide these things by weighing the FACTS in a COURT OF LAW" must realize, well, that's the whole fucking problem with this case, right?

i mean i could have posted this like a week ago but still.

Brendan O'Neill is the editor of spiked, an independent online phenomenon dedicated to raising the horizons of humanity by waging a culture war of words against misanthropy, priggishness, prejudice, luddism, illiberalism and irrationalism in all their ancient and modern forms.

let me guess

misanthropy = feminism
priggishness = feminism
prejudice = non-whites esp black people
luddism = the unemployed
illiberalism = liberalism
irrationalism = lived experience

Not really, he's nominally "left wing" but his articles have always been about juvenile trolling.
