I'm sure it has nothing to do with that story last week of a group of armed neo-nazis showing up to "protect" Sanford and thus making for a potentially dangerous situation.

*yawn*

Wait, are you upset that Al Sharpton wasn't there?

James!: Wait, are you upset that Al Sharpton wasn't there?

It's okay. The neo-nazis are (new window).

No matter your opinion on the shooting, these guys, Al Sharpton, the Neo Black Panthers...all need to stay away.

And are those "surveyor's" marks over the face of Zimmerman?

Can't wait for the announcement of either an indictment or no indictment for Zimmerman. Gonna be a pepper spray day.

They were good for getting attention to the case and causing an investigation, but now they need to step back and let people work.

Maybe that is why the Neo-Nazis are there. This case needs MOAR attention.

I think at this point people are using the case to bring attention to themselves. Hence, Florida Nazis.

I said it before, about Spike Lee's asshole move: Vigilantism is not an appropriate response to vigilantism.

The police, the state of Florida, the self-appointed spokespeople, all the news media and noise makers on both sides have so effectively farked up the event and the aftermath that we have no hope of salvaging any positive from this. Truth and facts are quaint notions at this point.

Grief junkies and people with social and political axes to grind, listen up: THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU.

Did anybody bother confirming that the neo-nazis even showed up, or did everybody in the media just take those morons' word for it?

I'd think that if getting independent confirmation meant anything, you'd want to get it in regard to anything a neo-nazi group was planning, especially if they said they'd be packing.

Because it might just be bullshiat.

I just googles it. It does appear that we lack confirmation of any witnesses that actually saw neo-nazis in Sanford. And the police there deny it. But then again they deny justice for Skittles!!!

SlothB77		2012-04-09 10:46:59 AM

He was inciting violence. It is a good thing he stopped. When the Grand Jury releases their decision, it will start up again.

Innocent people are being beaten as in response to the Trayvon thing. No one is doing anything to stop it.

And black kids are being shot and their murderers remain free.

See, I can do "inflammatory" too. Just stop it. It's not helping anyone.

Don't like people co-opting a situation for their own means? Don't be one of those people.

Actually, a local fox affiliate did a story about it recently, complete with video footage (new window)

Matthew Boyle is a reporter at The Daily Caller. He studied journalism at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, where he worked as an editor at the school's newspaper, The Gargoyle.

Hahahahahahaha

Cletus C.		2012-04-09 12:28:07 PM

Sharpton heard unsubstantiated rumors of a black person allegedly being slighted in some form by a white person in another part of the country.

He can't be two places at once. Duh.

Lost Thought 00		2012-04-09 12:32:45 PM

Scarpered? He's a steep cliff formed by erosion and landslides?

This might be crazy but I think it has something to do with the fact that the Trayvon case is no longer top of the hour news.

Awwwww man,

You made me look up the word "scarpered". It's not as interesting as I thought it was.

Where's the shock. His victim is looking less innocent, is killer is proving to very publicly not be the racist he claimed he is, and people are losing interest. No big shock he shuffled off to the next pay day.

quatchi		2012-04-09 12:45:40 PM

So neither Sharpton nor the Nazis showed up?

I'm calling that a win.

Spike Lee apologized for being a jackhole and tweeting the wrong address and gave that old couple some dough as well?

Noice.

Biggest crowd to be found in Sanford on Sunday was a bunch of kids and parents doing an Easter Egg hunt?

[okaywiththis]

This will all still end in tears no matter how the new investigation shakes out, however.

Sharpton, neo nazis, black panthers, misinformed partisan pundits of all stripes... Something's missing from this total shiatfest.

/WHAR WBC?, WHAR?!

DozeNutz		2012-04-09 12:55:41 PM

In emails to TheDC on Sunday, National Action Network spokeswoman Rachel Noerdlinger claimed Sharpton publicly announced last weekend that his Easter plans had changed. She was unable, however, to provide any evidence to support that claim. CNN did report that Sharpton held a press conference last weekend, during which he rebutted reports that he would organize a boycott of Sanford, Fla. businesses. Neither Noerdlinger nor TheDC, however, could find evidence that Sharpton reconsidered his promise of "a full blown occupation of Sanford with tents and everything over Easter weekend."

Whar the announcement certifikat Al?

lennavan		2012-04-09 01:02:42 PM

Since Sharpton made that now-broken promise to "occupy" Sanford over Easter weekend, it has been discovered that Zimmerman is a registered Democrat.

He broke the promise because the story and attention was dying down.

And what the hell does Zimmerman's political affiliation matter?

What a great metaphor for the hype surrounding the actual case.

lennavan: And what the hell does Zimmerman's political affiliation matter?

it's very very important. if he would have been a conservative, or better yet, a conservative activist of some sort, this could have been used to smear the entire republican party and become an election issue. so it was important to find out.

I don't know what to make of this post. I mean your schtick here is to troll. But in this post, the best I can come up with is you just make your trolly shiat up off the top of your head and this time you accidentally said something that might have been true. You gotta put more effort into that shiat. Trolling has to be slightly beyond reality to be effective.

So, it's important because it prevented other people from doing what you just accused them of wanting to do. And you really wanted to criticize them for doing that even though they couldn't do that. So the only way for you to accuse them of wanting to do what they couldn't do is by pointing out the reason they were prevented from doing it. It all makes perfect sense.

November is going to be very interesting in Florida. It now appears very likely that allies of President Obama deliberately attempted to use the press and federal authority that borders on double jeopardy to railroad a hispanic cuban american jew to the death penalty for defending himself from getting beaten to death.
