The Conservative Treehouse takes a very long look at the media strategy of the Martin lawyers, Crump and Co. I’m going to repeat again. It is a long story. Convoluted. But it explains a LOT about the Martin case and why it is falling apart. Here is what Treehouse says: The constructed and manipulated evidence…

Jesse Jackson is claiming that Trayvon Martin’s death was caused by racial profiling. By his former school. If the suspensions were as I posited in this post he is going to be sorry. I hope the defense can subpoena Tray’s school records and presents them in evidence. I believe they would be quite a revelation.

The case appears to be falling apart. The sooner the better. The question now is will it peter out like Duke Lacrosse or will we have cities burning al la Rodney King? Time will tell. I do not believe burning cities are in Obama’s interest. But it may now be out of his and Al…

Drug use and prevalence is increasing among the older cohort. This study is from England but from graphs I have seen the same thing is happening in the US. Senior author of the study Prof. Robert Stewart, from King’s College London, comments that “the key message of this paper confirms something which has been long-suspected…

I have off and on been watching George Zimmerman’s bail hearing this morning. I only caught the very tail of the last part, but Zimmerman has been granted bail. I just found out the amount was $150,000 with the condition of an ankle bracelet monitor. Because of the danger George is in he will be…

There has been some movement in the public case against George Zimmerman. Crump (the lawyer for the Martin family) admits Trayvon may have thrown the first punch. Crump said it was not clear that Martin threw the first punch but, argued that even if he did, Zimmerman’s actions launched the entire sequence of events. “Trayvon…

In keeping with Eric’s Dick Clark Memorial theme.

Ace is having a contest. Here is an entry: Setters are Red, Tick hounds are blue, The poodle looks great, I think I’ll have two! And Ulsterman has a very funny video in the same vein.

I believe the savages he is referring to are these people. H/T Moonbattery

For all those Conservatives who love the UN [/sarc], the UN has a large Drug Prohibition Division. They have a plan to suit every political persuasion.

The Secret Service sex scandal has drowned out one of the most important parts of the recent Summit of the Americas. A call for Drug Legalization. The Summit of the Americas, normally a subdued tri-annual gathering of regional leaders, could be more interesting than usual this year, as right-wing governments are set to clash with…

What do men work for? The National Times of Australia explains. As the Nobel prize-winning economist George Akerlof put it: ”Men settle down when they get married: if they fail to get married they fail to settle down.” It is also true that when they lose their marriages, that incentive disappears. How many married men…

The New Black Panther Party is offering a reward for George Zimmerman. We’ve come a long way baby. H/T Ironic Surrealism

Ulsterman seems to be having a difficult time understanding what the Wall Street Insider is saying this week. Wall Street Insider: So….why do you fail to connect the dots here? The very essence….the very plan….the Goddamn roadmap of where these people intend to take us! Why have you not….Why? Just a bit of effort? You…

There are a lot of stories out there that an investigator in the Trayvon Martin death wanted Zimmerman charged. The lead homicide detective probing the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin wanted the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer slapped with manslaughter charges from the get-go. Investigator Chris Serino, of the Sanford Police Department, expressed doubt in George…

Except it looks like they killed the wrong ones. Another of my insane anti-government posts? Not really. Well maybe really. Michigan Orders Slaughter Of All Heritage Breed Pigs. In a brazen power grab threatening small farmers, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is using the state Invasive Species Act to expand its jurisdiction beyond…

A couple of things. Although he doesn’t say it directly he wants the evidence sealed so he can trip up the liars more easily. And an early warning here. I have some doubt that Martin’s father arrived home at 10:30PM as he claimed. There is also doubt that the brother was at home. All that…

Well what do you know there is a call out for Trayvon Justice – i.e. Al Sharpton for another Black boy shot down in cold blood. Authorities, however, paint a very different picture of the events which led up to the death of Arnold. In a statement, the Atlanta police department said Hambrick “found himself…

In a discussion of the affidavit in the Trayvon Martin case Macsmind says: Where to begin. First, there is no mention of the three witnesses who said they saw Martin on top of Zimmerman and one in fact who has stated that he not only saw Martin on top of Zimmerman but he heard Zimmerman…
