There's nothing Zzzzzingy about anything he writes that is either Zzzzzing-rich or Zzzzzing-worthy. He's Zzzzzing-less in a world of Zzzzzings and true Zzzzzingers. That sounds like something THE DECIDER would say. Except you're not THE DECIDER.........I am. And I just decided that you should shut the hell up.

NBC edited the Zimmerman call to police to purposely incite racial tensions. __________________________
NBC issues apology for edited Zimmerman 911 call
NBC News issued an apology Tuesday for the way it handled the broadcasting of the 911 conversation between George Zimmerman and a police dispatcher in the Trayvon Martin case.
Following reports that NBC aired audio of the call was edited in a way that implied Zimmerman was racist, the network launched an internal investigation.
"During our investigation it became evident that there was an error made in the production process that we deeply regret. We will be taking the necessary steps to prevent this from happening in the future and apologize to our viewers," the network said in a statement cited by The Washington Post.
Zimmerman, a volunteer neighborhood watch leader, admits shooting and killing Martin one night in February, but he has said the shooting was in self-defense and justified under the state's "Stand Your Ground" law. He also said Martin attacked him, but that and other details of the case remain in question, as authorities continue to investigate whether to charge Zimmerman.
NBC's "Today" show ran the edited audio of Zimmerman's phone call to a police dispatcher, seeming to show Zimmerman saying, "This guy looks like he's up to no good … he looks black."
A transcript of the complete 911 call shows that Zimmerman said, "This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about."
The 911 officer responded saying, "OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?"
"He looks black," Zimmerman said.
The abridged conversation between Zimmerman and the dispatcher that NBC ran on March 27 has been blasted by media watchdog groups as misleading. Critics have said the edited version was made to suggest that Zimmerman

News update: Special prosecutor will skip the grand jury The special prosecutor in the Trayvon Martin case announced Monday that she will not take the case before a Florida grand jury -- but will continue pursuing her investigation. The news release issued on behalf of Florida State Atty. Angela Corey cautioned the public not to read too much into the move. "The decision should not be considered a factor in the final determination of the case," it said. The Seminole County Grand Jury was scheduled to convene Tuesday to hear evidence in the death of Martin, a hoodie-wearing unarmed black 17-year-old who was shot Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla. The case has captivated the nation, with neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman, 28, saying he shot Martin in self-defense and with black activists demanding Zimmerman's arrest.

He'll be charged with something, after the acquittal is when things might get interesting.

Second-degree murder charge in Martin case TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- A law enforcement official says that the shooter in the Trayvon Martin case will be charged with second-degree murder and is in custody. The 2011 Florida Statutes (2) The unlawful killing of a human being, when perpetrated by any act imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual, is murder in the second degree and constitutes a felony of the first degree, punishable by imprisonment for a term of years not exceeding life or as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

Zimmerman in custody... Zimmerman in custody... Zimmerman in custody...
where he belongs - soon will tell it to a judge or jury & not his daddy! [Bleeeeep!] the media - seems everyone hears what they want to hear when it comes to the media.
Bottom line - people can't be hunted in Florida - just as it is in every other state in the USA. Kill an unarmed teenager & Tell it to a Judge or Jury.
