Afterburner with Bill Whittle: The Lynching

Lots of stuff about the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case you might now know about. (And the only thing "graphic" about this video is a picture of Trayvon Martin flipping double middle fingers, so don't not watch because you think there will be gore. There isn't.)

I post this mostly to say 'shame on you' to the national media - They screw up so many aspects of so many people's lives, it's not funny.

Jodi Arias Live Trial Coverage

I don't know if any of you are following this trial, but it's getting into the seriously important stages. Click the image above to go to the live coverage page. Jodi, herself, has been on the stand for days, but tomorrow and the rest of this week should focus on the day of the murder itself. So far she's been narrating just about every detail of her life for the couple years leading up to June 4, 2008. I'm not into this case anywhere near as much as I was with Casey Anthony's, so I have still have no idea why it took 5 years for this to go to trial.

Anyway, here is another live coverage link if the one above isn't working.

UPDATE: There was no court on Thursday, as the judge was ill. For some reason there is also no court on Fridays for this case (not official for Fridays past today). Monday is a holiday, so no court Monday. So this will all resume again on Tuesday.

The Trayvon Martin Case

-- has nothing to do with race.

The sooner all you black protesters realize this - the better.

And why is it that it doesn't make national news when tons of people are upset about a white person's seemingly wrongful death? It's because we don't feel it is necessary to collectively come together and publicly RIOT every time a white person is wronged. It is always an issue with race for them whenever one of their own is wronged - in this country.

A lot of people are pissed off at the way Kelly Thomas was murdered. But do you see mobs of white people protesting, and causing civil unrest because a handful of police officers beat him to a pulp? No. What you see there is an organized effort to investigate a group of officers who went overboard in their attempts to subdue a non-violent person, resulting in his death.

If you oppose the actions of the officers involved in the Kelly Thomas case, but are also blinded by reverse-racism in support of Trayvon Martin, then maybe you need to rethink exactly what you stand for. Go take some time and think about what it means to protect your own human life. Go take a moment to realize that George Zimmerman didn't want to pull the trigger any more than Kelly Thomas wanted to plead for his life for 15 minutes, while cops beat him to death.

This is a staircase located in the port of Jamestown, on the island of St. Helena, located in the south Atlantic Ocean.. closest to South Africa than anything else.

Supposedly, this is the view from the bottom:

I remember a bunch of steps like this in Alaska when we were there. I'm not certain exactly where, but I think it was in Juneau.

Casey Anthony Trial Date Set

Pic Source

Well, mark your calendars. The trial date for the homicide of of young Caylee Anthony has been set: May 2, 2011. Yep, apparently that's correct.. next year. What has a good chance to be the trial of the decade, I thought would begin in just a few months, but for some reason they are putting it off another year.

Having already pled guilty to 13 counts of check fraud, perhaps the defense needs more time. Nevertheless it is known that there is a lot of evidence the prosecution has yet to reveal to the public. Now that Casey Anthony is a felon, perhaps things change. Why not conduct the murder trial first? If she's found guilty, which I expect, that entire check fraud crap is moot, is it not? Think about it: "Death by lethal injection (or life in prison) for murder, plus an additional 13 months for check fraud." WTF?
