WASHINGTON, July 1, 2013 ― As defense attorney Don West grilled Rachel Jeantel during week one of the Zimmerman trial, liberal commentators fell all over themselves making excuses for Jeantel’s shocking behavior in court. Her overall contempt for the processes and nuances of the court judicial system where explained away as illiteracy, that she did not have the education necessary to know how to behave in this “white man’s world” of judiciary. Throughout the week, West was blasted by liberals for being “condescending” in his questioning of Jeantel. During her first day of testimony, West attempted to get Jeantel to be more responsive and less hostile by telling her he didn’t think she did anything wrong but was simply trying to get answers to questions. This lead to an outcry from liberal media accusing West of being aggressive. Aggressive? When a defense attorney cross-examines a prosecution witness it is called doing his job. His client’s very freedom is at stake If Jeantel were not black, liberal pundits, especially the white ones, would not have made excuses for her rude behavior. They would have called it just what it was. It was unacceptable. It was unacceptable that during her first day of testimony the 19-year-old high school senior and friend of Trayvon Martin, whom Zimmerman is charged with killing, rolled her eyes, huffing and puffing when she was asked questions. Her demeanor was indignant, and she made it fairly clear she had better things to do. After spending nearly two hours on the stand, West told Judge Debra Nelson, he would need Jeantel to return the following day for a “few more hours.” When she heard that, Jeantel responded with a loud “What?“, looking very much like a caricature from a Saturday Night Live sketch. At one point Jeantel contorted her face at West as she tried to explain why her statements under oath were inconsistent when she spoke with the attorney representing the family of Trayvon Martin. Drumming her fingernails on the witness stand, Jeantel testily asked West, “You listening? Are you listening?” She can also be heard saying under her breath “I’m not coming back here.” All as if she’s running the show. Jeantel was the last person to speak to Trayvon Martin before Zimmerman shot him and is considered the prosecution’s star witness. Frankly, she does not have better things to do but sit on the stand as long as the prosecution or the defense wants to question her. But because as one female commentator (black) said on a cable program, “Rachel was less educated than (white) lawyer West,” who was “condescending” and must be the bad guy, Jeantel is “allowed” [her visible contempt]. Liberals refuse to admit they feel this way because Jeantel is black and West is white, even as they speak the words. Quite simply according to the prevailing main-stream liberal mindset, blacks, and particularly less educated blacks, are supposed to be treated differently than everyone else. But let’s ask, why is it we don’t hear the same racist statements applied to less educated white people? Rachel isn’t dumb because she didn’t go to college. She may not be able to read cursive but she’s certainly not illiterate either. At times she gave credible testimony when she spoke up and the court reporter, along with jurors, could hear and understand her just fine. West’s intensive questioning of Jeantel revealed she lied about a lot of things in previous statements under oath. She lied about her age because she wanted Trayvon’s parents to think she was 16 not 18 years old last year. She lied to Trayvon’s mother about what he said in his final hours, not mentioning he called Zimmerman a “creepy ass cracker“ or that Trayvon said “that nigga is behind me” because she didn’t want to hurt his mother’s feelings. At one point West asked her if Trayvon Martin could have lied to her about Zimmerman attacking him. She responded, “That sounds real retarded, sir.“ That wasn’t the first or last time she insulted West, and yet the liberal cabal hammers West for being condescending. During an appearance on the Dr. Drew Show discussing the trial, one of the liberally identified guests actually said West didn’t know how to talk to Rachel because they “were so culturally different.” Since when did black and white Americans not speak the same English language? When did it become unnecessary to learn to communicate in standard English? West did do a good job of communicating with Jeantel, not losing his patience, even as she was determined to make the process as difficult as possible. The liberal press didn’t do Jeantel or blacks any favors by coddling her combative demeanor. This is literally a liberal “dumbing down” of black Americans because they don’t expect more from “us”, a group that is kept segregated as those “other Americans”. It would have been better if liberal commentators where honest, saying what they really think, which is that, “Rachel can’t help it, she’s black and shouldn’t be expected to perform at the same level as a white person.” This is the same insulting logic liberals use in opposing voter ID laws, that blacks are incapable of understanding the laws, of completing a form, of having a birth certificate like white people can. Liberals relentlessly perpetuate the politics of low expectations for blacks, so that blacks too often do the same, and this is exactly why Rachel thought her behavior in court was ok. This same soft bigotry is also permeating our public school education system and Rachel’s lack of understanding of the process in the court, the role of the attorneys, is probably much more to blame for her demeanor than her inability to read cursive script.

I have a difficult time following the trial on msnbc without wanting to assault my tv screen. Their talking heads keep saying Zimmerman didn't have a right to kill the boy just because he lost a fist- fight. There was no fist-fight. There was a violent assault perpetrated on Zimmerman by the nigra. He was justified in using deadly force. The lesson here should be to keep your hands to yourself, cuz there's no telling who could be packing.
I watch MSNBC for amusement. I don't want to assault my TV screen. I want to assault them personally. With my fists.
So.... would you try to perpetrate a 'violent assault' on another while talking on a cell phone through a headset?

That is great. So the prosecution will be playing the video of the fight with the screams from Zimmerman for help. It seems to me Trayvon got exactly what he deserved. They should come out with a new gun and call it the Zimmerman.
They should come out with a new gun and call it the Zimmerman. So why did the screams stop abruptly in mid scream immediately after the shot was fired? I forgot to mention that Martin also had his hoody on over his headset. Any good cracker should know that that's the best way to sneak up on your victim. By not being able to use your sense of hearing, distracting your focus by chatting with your girlfriend and obstructing your side vision with clothing. You might as well give yourself the most handicaps possible.

Because a dead assailant can't beat your head against the concrete?
You mean you just made that up.
Z had superficial scratches on the back of his head probably made by the bushes he tried to sneak through. But he wasn't dumb, he definitely took off any headwear so he could have the widest field of vision and hearing acuity possible. That boy was ready to rock.

Do you wear your headsets over or under clothing?

Cannibal fodder like you --- just doesn't evolve --- in America ! You are a lost cause ... affirmative action --- is perpetuating ! You need to have a realty birth - moment !
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
Both. Irrelevant also.
Separated at birth? No. People aren't the same as apes or gorillas. We didn't evolve. I haven't followed the trial to closely. Haven't seen any of the trial on TV. I think she said some dumb stuff. I also think that she genuinely liked Trayvon Martin and she is sad the he is gone and misses him. It hurts her. She is a human being. I'm not going to compare her to a monkey.
Simply put, the boy was trespassing. He was out of place and up to no good. If he weren't, he'd have shagged his black ass out of there post-haste instead of provoking a confrontation. He got what he deserved.
So you would wear your headset over a hoodie when it's raining.

I didn't know that walking down the street in a community in which one lives, without expressed permission from the local vigilantes, rates the death penalty. Hopefully it doesn't happen to you.

Exactly. Zimmerman had no reason to let the punk doper kill him. Zimmerman not only saved his life but he also saved some future black guys life who Martin would have likely tried to kiil. Martins parents don't care about him. They only care about the money now.
It's obvious they NEVER cared about him, he turned out to be your typical run of the mill plantation inhabitant...
"Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it."
Martins parents don't care about him. They only care about the money now. In case you missed it the one who qualifies in every sense of the word as a local vigilante is Zimmerman, unless you think that vigilantes don't carry arms or drive around housing tracks trying to quess the potential motives of the inhabitants. Isn't money considered to be speech in your world? Why wouldn't they be interested in the monetary damages, it's not like they will get Trayvon back. And don't tell me you wouldn't be doing exactly the same thing.

You know that really all depends on what kind of neighborhood you live in if carrying a weapon is necessary or not... In some neighborhoods just snooping out the window and putting up signs (like "Neighborhood Protected by Sig Sauer") will suffice... But If you live in a schitty neighborhood sooner or later the punks are going to find out who you are and want to get some retribution on you for "snitching" on them... (Which brings us to the Zimmerman trial, he was prepared to protect himself)... If this had been a black neighborhood with a black guy performing the watch duty and he had protected himself from "Obama Jr" then this wouldn't even be in the news... Just another blurb on the back page of the local newspaper, if that...
"Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it."
First I love Charles Bronson and his movies. But this isn't a movie. Zimmerman broke no law and was free to be everywhere he was. Why are you so blind?
I shouldn't have said they didn't care about their son. They did. Money isn't speech. But giving someone money to talk for you is freedom. They are entitled to no damages. Their son was in the wrong is what it looks like to me. Honestly.

He surprisingly came out on Trayvons side. His point was that Zimmerman had "chambered" a round. What you think of that angle. Just throwing it out there.
Sounds like Savage has lived in a protected little bubble his entire life... LOL... Almost every time that you have to use a weapon you don't have the time to go thru that process of chambering and firing before the perp is on you... Just think very close quarters with very little reaction time available to you... They aren't going to let you see them come running at you from 50 yards away and give you the time to leisurely load, chamber and fire at them... (Not unless they're extremely phucking dense)...

You guys watch too much Tee Bee. The so called perp was talking to his girlfriend up to the almost the very second he died. Not very motivated if he really was a pursuer.

Then money is speech, since it can be used to purchase it.

I never said Trayvon pursued him... George confronted him and then Trayvon started wailing on him, guess he didn't like being asked why he was "skulking around the hood"...

Sounds like you've never found yourself in a schitty situation without having a cop in your back pocket before...

Like in said before, you watch way too much Tee Bee. Or you are suffering from PTSD.

The point is why carry a gun if you're not gonna carry it with a round in the chamber?? It's only a fancy looking paperweight (and pretty useless) without a round in the chamber...
"Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it."
Now why would I have PTSD, I don't live in a Leftard minority neighborhood!!!
"Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it."
Then money is pussy since it can be used to purchase it.
That is kind of what I was thinking.
No wonder he wanted to provoke something. Brave stalker that he was when he should have stayed in his vehicle. This should have never happened if GZ didn't have his spiteful attitude.
You creep assed cracker. Get lost.
Had enough wet-brain?
The poor kid. He almost made it home, didn't he? Whelp, better luck next time.
