Michael Savage still on Anti-Zim rant

Free Republic

Strange post.  Perhaps it is indicative of the polarization on this trial.

For example, calling it "anti-Zimmerman" is pretty much lining up people on one side of the issue against the other.  I've commented on the trial, but I consider myself to be neither pro nor con.  What I am interested is truth.  What actually happened that night that Martin was killed?

Zimmerman is definitely guilty of one thing---poor judgment.  If Martin is staring at him while he is still in his car, he should have stayed put and waited for the police.  Although there is no law preventing him from getting out of his car and following Martin, he clearly should have seen that Martin was potentially dangerous and he put himself at risk by following him.

When you get down to the brass tacks, that's the issue of the case.  It is whether or not Zimmerman provoked an incident or not and whether or not that is sufficient for a conviction.  That the state didn't pursue that course is regrettable and political, but there's appears to be no law against that either.

If there's a riot in the event of an acquittal, the media and the administration are responsible.

Allowing oneself to get caught up in an "us versus them" attitude with respect to this trial appears to me to be a mistake.

Another comment is that Savage is a sensationalist.  He is attempting to get high ratings for his show and will say anything to accomplish that.
