STOP right NOW! I am NOT a misinformed rube, I am NOT impressed with the statement

issued by the 4 Zimmerman jury member

How dare they only surface long enough to distance themselves from Juror B37-

The informed public will see right through their self serving statement.

Because it is THEIR votes in the jury room that matter..I could give a rats ass about their sorry blubbering about B37.

They better not get traction and sympathy..

Just noticed that most female commentators on MSNBC dressed in black..

I just checked, I have enough black summer clothing to last for a while....

Can a moment, generate a movement?

How long will we sit on the sidelines, wringing our hands, wiping away tears....chanting "ain't it awful, ain't it awful!" ?

If there is to be a movement, all of us will need to put skin in the game and show up.

If not now? When? What ELSE needs to happen? The gains of our LGBT brethren although promising, is not enough to make us go back into our tents.

I will stay tuned to DU, refuse to watch the talking heads, reach out to my local liberal/progressive network, and prepare to sacrifice my free time, my energy, my presence, as needed.

Are you in?

I am a white grandmother, and Trayvon is a child of my heart. I mourn all over again,

because it feels like he was killed a second time.

2 Jury members do not know that they will be dismissed,

because in Fla alternates are disclosed, and during the trial jury members do not know which are alternates.

I'm no attorney, but disagree w/attorney Lisa Bloom (MSNBC) who wasn't nuts about

Bernie's closing because he asked questions.

Bernie impeached Z's testimony by using Z's own words and was able to demonstrate Z had prior intent.

Zimmerman's attorney, when addressing Trayvon's mother, says the word "apologize."

He apologizes to her for the loss of her son....trying to mitigate Zimmerman's answers to Hannity that were played for the jury this past week. Zimmerman when asked by Hannity, said he had no regrets, wouldn't change events of that night.

Reaaly? It's not the defense attorney who should express remorse, and I hope the prosecution makes that fact very clear in the closing statement.

Personally, I wonder why Sanford Dective Serino is no longer a dective,but now

a uniformed officer working the mid-night shift?

Per Kerry Sanders, reporting from MSNBC from Sanford Fla.
