Zimmerman has "no message for the family of Trayvon Martin at this time."

Which is a kind of message in and of itself, n'est-ce pas?

@andersoncooper George Zimmerman has no message for the family of #trayvonmartin "at this time," says his lawyer. @AC360 8p, 10p.

Why is this man not in jail?

If he expresses sorrow, it can be used as evidence of consciousness of guilt. If he denies he did anything wrong, he looks callous--evidence that he does not value human life. If I represented him I would tell him to STFU.

But I'm a racist piece of shit who feels superior to black kids. It made me feel powerful to shoot an unarmed kid in the chest, even after he begged and pleaded with me not to. I think I even got aroused at one point when he was begging for his life...

What is a sorry piece of shit like Zimmerman going to say that will still not leave anyone with an ounce of humanity seething with outrage? Fuck him and his ilk!
