What a dumb fukking post..... Ever hear of the US Constitution? Every person is entitled to the presumption of innocence. The race baiting and sheer volume of speculative crap the media has spewed forth along the with shameful conduct of race hucksters like Al Sharpton and scum like the Black Panthers is as disgraceful a display as I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. And idiots like you eat it up. You are the type of moron and useful idiot those scumbags play to because you are just stupid enough to buy the narrative.

New details in Fast & Furious Apr 20, 2012 tucsonnewsnow.com Congress has learned the most wanted man in the Fast and Furious investigation, Manuel Acosta, was allowed to traffic thousands of guns to Mexico. Only after the death of Border Agent Brian Terry south of Tucson was Acosta's operation shut down. He was arrested and released at least three times during the operation. That's why congressional investigators suspect the justice department is unwilling to talk about Acosta's possible role as an informant. Rep. Jason Chaffetz said, "We could have taken him in and prosecuted him anything. It's either total incompetence or maybe it's something a bit more coordinated that the Department of Justice is not willing yet to talk about." "Somebody back in Washington was making terrible disastrous calls on this…and it's lead to the death of a lot of people," Chaffetz said. Guns used by Acosta in two of these deadly incidents were both traced to Fast and Furious.

The evidence I know of tends to support Zimmerman's claim of self-defense. If the prosecution doesn't have something big we don't know about, he'll walk out of court a free man. Zimmerman isn't the darling of the right, he looks like a victim of a media lynching though. There've been too many things printed that just weren't so ... Martin didn't look like a cherubic 12 yo when he was shot, Zimmerman didn't make racist remarks, didn't say he was suspicious because he was black, wasn't uninjured, etc etc etc.

Defensive Gun Use of the Day: Little Old Lady Edition Posted on April 22, 2012 by Dan Zimmerman Thu Apr 19 06:31:04 PDT 2012 SAPD: Gun-toting granny sends burglar running A burglary suspect on the city’s east side probably never expected his 89-year-old victim to be packing heat. [url=]view full article[/url] “A burglary suspect on (San Antonio’s) east side learned that even little old ladies may be packing heat.” When Fannie Mae Brown woke up to the sound of someone breaking into her home, she did what any 89-year-old woman would do to protect herself. Knowing she’d be no match for the burglar physically, she picked up a tool designed to equalize things a little . . . She reached for her .38 revolver. From kens5.com: Fannie Mae Brown says she saw the burglar’s flashlight inside the house and realized the intruder was headed toward her bedroom. She fired one shot toward the light, police said, which sent the suspect running off into the night. Gosh. An old woman who’d otherwise be defenseless against a burglar intent on God-knows-what was able to protect herself because she owns a gun. Chances are, she’d never had a self-defense lesson or had even been to a shooting range. She just made like Nikon – point and shoot. “Brown said she will be keeping her gun next to her from now on.” Why didn’t we think of that? http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/04/daniel-zimmerman/defensive-gun-use-of-the-day-fannie-mae-brown/
