this is all from a report from "newsball.com", who are also on a weird witch hunt to expose the names/identities of the six jurors? idk man

It's true that this is all only on alternative sites so who knows but on the other hand, people willingly ate up the original story despite it being iffy and somewhat contradicted by the 911 tapes.
What i find disgusting are all the folks who seemed to think this 'cancelled' his previous deeds.

i do think its interesting that after the first juror came out and appeared to be a p serious 'supporter' of Z, several other jurors and said they didn't share her thinking, and that the latest one to come out says 'we all felt in our hearts he was guilty,' like to have been a fly on that deliberation room wall

if you haven't figured out yet not to be a drunk idiot walking home alone from admo on a saturday night i don't know what to tell you
i guess every day someone's born who's never seen the flintstones

i think it's from the episode where barney is on the bedrock neighborhood watch and he shoots and kills trayrock martin. later on fred is mugged in retaliation when walking home drunk from the bowling alley.

i'm saying that in the same way that someone is born who's never seen the flintstones every day there are still people who haven't learned that if you're drunk and walking home from adams morgan you will probably get mugged. it's happened to me 3 times.

The "car rescue" thing sounds totally consistent with his character though -- he has a hero/first-responder complex. Probably exaggerated but not false.

that's bullshit. those two teenagers are black, and as we all know, black people love killing white babies. we just don't know it because we don't have our own white al sharpton. it's time for america to WAKE UP.

its nice that you can shoot a white baby and walk free

overheard a convo at the Walmart checkout (guys, I need hangers and a swiffer and there's not much else available ok??) and it was p gross. older lady from Fla who was all "I thought he was guilty but then the evidence was blah blah blah Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are the real racists etc"
I was kinda chilly with the checkout lady after and felt guilty
