"...a bulletproof vest under his charcoal suit..."

5. I can only attribute it to a town riddled with corruption

I was floored during the bond hearing when the attorney asked Pappy Zim if he'd seen the police reports from the assault on the cop, specifically the "I don't give a fuck who you are" remark after the officer identified himself.

I was astounded by the $150K amount for the bond, too. It should have been $1 million.

I don't want to go "tinfoil hat" here, but another way to look at this is that Zimmerman stands a pretty good chance of walking away from this without ever setting foot in a jail cell again. Once the trial is over (if it in fact goes to a trial), he can then leave the state, leave the country, leave the fucking planet...I am confident that his family and his attorney are bombarding him with non-stop assurances that he'll be set free.

That's the aspect of our society that can't be explained..."justice" is an ideal, a facade, a scam...unless you're a 17 year old African American who just shot an unarmed 28 year old half Caucasian, half Hispanic man. Then justice would be swift, the door to the jail cell would be slammed, and jury selection would already be underway. Nobody would be leaving the state.
