Let's talk about Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, and how unbelievably fucked up this all is

well the judge can mandate you be held in prison while awaiting trial, that's what bail is all about

i thought this was the distinction b/t jail and prison. to a great extent, jail is where they put you for the time being. prison is where you go after conviction. no?

oh somebody noted that above

tbh i am trying not to follow this story too much because it's making me crazy but he is probably in a county jail in protective custody or something. depends on jurisdiction but most prisons are for inmates serving sentences of over a year.

Prison = more serious felonies
jail = not so serious

yeah i get that, i just meant, in the current circumstance, is it possible/likely that GZ would be considered "in jail" legally even if he was not literally in a jail. minor point i guess.

he's "in custody", iirc. that's all i've heard so far. i'd be really surprised if they just threw him in with the general population in a whatever-county jail.

You guys are honestly drooling fucking morons.

lol

not news

whiney otm

Fuck y'all

it's ok hoos i believe the twitter is real

If they were real, it would show a level of recklessness that boggles the mind. A man on trial for 2nd degree murder, who knows his every move will be publicized and dissected on national tv, doesn't spout off to the public like that. I suspect they are fake. Sniff test fail.

the most convincing part is the first tweet link to a donations page littered with quotations by edmund burke, henrik ibsen, thomas paine and james loewen

right Zimmerman has shown himself to be a paragon of self-restraint and sound judgement

anyways, heads up:

http://latinorebels.com/2012/04/12/the-day-after-george-zimmerman-gets-charged-trayvon-martins-mother-says-incident-was-an-accident/

this appeared overnight in my neighborhood a week or so back

When someone has a gun in his hand and the safety off, it should never be "an accident". Pulling the gun out is a declaration of intent to harm.

not attaching much significance to stray turns of phrase in live interviews

DUI crashes are "accidents," too, and they often kill people, and they are crimes.

pretty strong viral ad from skittles there

fucking pisses me off that that one word is going to be what people pick up and run with

skittles?

That one word is obviously inapplicable, whatever Trayvon's mom may have said. So it is irrelevant that she said it.

Struck me last night, very idly wondering about the twitter account and the website that something like the following might be happening.

i: GZ's first clownshow lawyers (rtd) said the website was "authentic"
ii: plainly this needn't mean GZ actually coded, designed or wrote any of it -- or necessarily picked the grafitti image, let alone riffled thru his big book of handy Ibsen quotes etc, just that at some point he OK'd it.
iii: my speculation is that as GZ was peekin fearfully thru the curtains sometime somewhere muttering omg omg omfg, 1 x Passing Savvy Grifter suggested to him the notion of a support website, complete with paypal donation button etc. "To tell your side of the story to the world!"
iv: GZ: "yes! a website! with paypal! what's paypal? where do you get a website? etc"
v: PSG then said, don't sweat it, I'll design it for you. And did so, and showed to ZG, who was amazed and grateful and excited and did not for one second see any of what might be coming...
vi: PSG then said, we will also need a twitter account to juice up traffic and etc, and set this up too
vii: GZ is -- let us stipulate -- several hoods short of a klanmeet when it comes to brains, foresight, self-awareness etc, and has very enthusiastically signed off on all this, perhaps even passing on a few tidbits of his upcoming media appointments (viz the Hannity info), to give it substance.

In my model, PSG, whoever s/he may be, is not (necessarily) ideologically in sync with GZ at all. He is however entirely in sync with that donations paypal account. And quite happy short-term to tweet stuff that keeps the traffic going, however much it harms GZ medium-term.

GZ may or may not ever have had the keys to that twitter account. He may well have forgotten that it was ever proposed; or even known it came into existence.

My work here is done.

sounds plausible to me

if only there was a way to stop hypothesizing and wait for the truth to come out

If only there was someone to help keep threads in line, make sure that only acceptable content was posted, a 'police' figure of sorts, hmmmmmmmmmmm

who will be volunteer to be the "Zimmerman" figure I wonder

I know I've spent too much time on ILX when I start misreading CNN.com headlines as "Rodney King pleads for clam"

Can't we all just get abalone?

This made my morning ty sir

kat stacks tweets from jail, recommended follow

a lot of reality doesn't pass the sniff test, including zimmerman's lawyers, the GOP presidential primary candidates, the bush years; etc. the only rational conclusion is that reality is fake. should've voted "we’re living in a simulation and it gets shut down" in the human extinction scenarios poll.

Should've voted "Robocop turns into a documentary"
