We have a suburb a few towns over called Coon Rapids.



I lived in Coon Rapids some years back for about a decade.  I've probably said "coon" a million times!

ETA - Can't remember how many times I experienced the pause and forced politelness when dealing with customer service rep's of African origin when I give them my address.

And in an ABC news exclusive, a photo of Zimmerman three minutes after he shot Trayvon is aired as part of this video.

Talk about a complete 180 for the new station who declared him injury-free.

Indeed. They outright lied, and it was libelous.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Richard Jewell is probably a millionaire now.  I'm predicting that by this time next year, Zimmerman will be, too.

Yeah, problem is, he'll probably have to change his identity and move. He'll never be able to live his life with a feeling of security.

I tell ya, if this were me, I'd have not moved, and would have just surrounded by house with Hesco barriers and concertina wire with a sign outside that said "Bring it."

Richard Jewell is dead.  I attribute his premature death to the stress.  I wish better than that for George Zimmerman.

He had kidney failure and severe heart disease as a result of diabetes.  If I had to guess, I'd say it was Type II diabetes, which means he had it as a result of his eating habits.  That's a pretty big stretch to blame all that on the media.

Maybe so.  But I prefer to be totally irrational and blame them because they got off scot-free for what they did to him.

Heh, big signs warning of the "line of death"!   ;D

And some of these too, of course!

Yeah and if I were him that is exactly what I would want to do. And not just Zimmerman, that goes for all of us. None of us have that security. There is no security without the consistent Rule of Law, and we no longer have that in this country.

If I were him I'd be leaving this country and its farcical justice system behind.

Well, not yet.

I enjoy reading the old posts, before I showed up here. But, sometimes, I wish I had been here to comment in a more timely fashion.  I was and to some degree still am, a "stress eater."  It does not strike me as a stretch at all that a good and decent man could be driven to such a state as to eat himself to death.  I wish he had not. I would have counseled him not to give in to it and to find other releases. But, this may have been his best release....at least it did not get him jailed.
