Did TM have a right to feel afraid?

I watched Piers Morgans interview with Rachel Jenteal.

Piers: Rachel is there anything you didn't say at the trial that you wish you had said?

Rachel: thinks for a few seconds then exclaims NIGGA!

The look on the faces of the older black people had me laughing for five minutes. Why does the left keep putting her on the air? They're not helping their case.

You said you saw through the smoke and could accept that OJ Simpson was guilty. What did you believe about the Duke rape case when the Duke group of 88 signed their controversial advertisement.

Did your opinion change? It doesn't look like the group of 88 ever apologized for their slander. Will Angela Corey end up where Mike Nifong is now?

I am not going to investigate a case I never heard of that has nothing to do with this case.

Well, apparently GZ was a rapist white male.

You know.. Because that illiterate idiot thought so. But yeah, we should give her a pass for some reason...

Gee. What's that reason Liberals?

Tell me, doc. Do we or do we not constantly warn our children about sexual predators and strangers who behave suspiciously?

I think it makes her testimony more believable. Rachel Jeantel either doesn't know how, or doesn't care to edit her words. She just seems to tell it as it is, without regard to its effect. For example, if she were simply trying to protect TM's reputation, she would have edited "creepy cracker" out of her rendition. But she did not. That makes her all the more believable.

Trayvon Martin wasn't an angelic kid. He was a teenager experimenting with pot and trying to look tough. But that doesn't alter the fact that he was doing nothing wrong that night, and was followed by an adult male who probably frightened him. It doesn't change the fact that GZ overreacted to getting punched in the nose and altered his story to make it sound more solidly self defense. It doesn't matter how many times Rachel Jeantel uses the words "cracker" or "nigga".

But for some reasons a segment of our population has decided that since TM wasn't an angel and might have had his own racism, then George Zimmerman is totally vindicated.

So on the record, you've never heard of the Duke rape case?

[Tator]

Not that I recall. The only one I remember that I imagine you would bring up was the one that Sharpton got involved with, the Tawny something case. Maybe they're the same case. I don't know nor do I care, because it has no relevance to this case.

(reposting my response to the first Duke question, since I mistakenly hit edit instead of quote the first time)

But for some reasons a segment of our population has decided that since TM wasn't an angel and might have had his own racism, then George Zimmerman is totally vindicated.

And then there is this other segment of our population that has decided that TM was an angel and that GZ is a murderer. I do not believe in the segment of the population that say that GZ is a murderer, and I don't believe in the segment of the population that say that GZ did everything right that night. However, Zimmerman has already been found not guilty, and I believe that we should just leave him alone now. And one of the alternate jurrors from that trial came out in support of that not guilty verdict. 1
If the people of Florida do not like the 'stand your ground' law, then they need to contact their Governor and lawmakers there. I will try to make this the last message that I Post about the Zimmerman case here. May TM rest in peace and many GZ live in peace.

[_EAllusion]

Half of a semi-random group of 6 people decided that there wasn't sufficient evidence to convict Zimmerman of a crime, with the other half succumbing eventually, so that settles the matter for all time. Please do not think or express an opinion to the contrary even though mass media coverage has given you every conceivable piece of information that group of people was exposed to. Likewise, anyone who thinks O.J. Simpson was guilty of murder better change their views, because that matter has been settled.

Not that I recall.

I have a hard time an Internet social justice warrior like Beastie wasn't aware of the massive media storm that consumed our country for nearly a year.

So you don't know what the Duke rape case was but you know that it has no relevance to this case. That sounds like a contradiction to me.
