#Zimmerman Defense celebrates beating stupidity

[HipChick]

What a fucking card..#Dadkilledit? What kind of a fucking trial and attorney is this?

He's taking a dig at Rachel - how can we get this to the media or someone in the courtroom?

[NoOneMan]

1. This is real?

[Democracyinkind]

4. It. just. can't. be.

WTF???

[HipChick]

5. Yes...it was posted on his daughters Twitter

[NoOneMan]

6. I have no words

[Maximumnegro]

91. Imagine sheets over their heads

that should do juuuuust fine.

[LeftofObama]

42. Yep!

Here's a link to it at Buzzfeed...

[K Gardner]

81. Please REC this post to the moon and back and send to MSNBC until it gets ON AIR.. this is

completely, totally inappropriate.. WTF??!!

[Just Saying]

2. Completely inappropriate

A kid is dead assholes! Let me tell them exactly what to do with those cones...

[Travis_0004]

34. The twitter post may be dumb

But I hope you are not complaining about a family going out for some ice cream.

[Just Saying]

37. Clearly the family going out for ice cream was the important part.

[freshwest]

46. Blissfully jumped over there, I think.

[orpupilofnature57]

77. No, merging it with a murder trial, for the world to see .

And yes, it's Misanthropic for a family to go out for some ice cream .

[uppityperson]

3. What?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

7. We'll see if they go out for ice cream come verdict day.

Leon Letting it?

[Travis_0004]

33. If the prosecution doesn't get their ass in gear, they will be going out for steak.

[OriginalGeek]

36. As a Cowboys fan all my life

that is both hilarious and painful. And an accurate description of the cone-head defense family.

[Raine]

68. They'll probably have champagne then

this is not going well, IMO Zimmerman is going to walk.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

69. Trials are easy to over pundit-cize.

Fact is, nobody's opinion really matters except for the people on the jury. And we have no idea what they are thinking. None. Nada.

It's something of the polar opposite, but just about ever legal "expert" had Casey Anthony being convicted, that Jose Baez didn't know what he was doing, etc.

Pundits are gonna pundit.

[Jamaal510]

70. "Pundits are gonna pundit."

+1

[Tommy_Carcetti]

71. Works for political analysis as well. nt

[orpupilofnature57]

80. Pontification Proliferation !!!!

[DearAbby]

8. I am speechless

.

[targetpractice]

9. Knock. Knock. Who's there?

Three assholes.

[davidpdx]

98. three assholes who?

Three assholes who are classless and put pictures up online celebrating the harassment of a black woman in a courtroom.

[HiddenAgenda63]

10. How crass can one possibly be?

Disgust.

[virgogal]

61. My tech skills are abysmal but could this be faked?

[Gin]

11. Hope it goes viral

[riverwalker]

12. disgusting n/t

[Baitball Blogger]

13. Is he from Central Florida?

He would fit in, in the suburbs.

[Incitatus]

51. Yes, Orlando

[gvstn]

14. They bought those cones at Chick-fil-A

I knew they served hate chicken but am surprised to learn they also serve hate ice cream cones. Who knew so many like to brag about being full of hate for whole classes of people by buying hate fast food?

BTW, I have studied pictures of Mr. West and there is a very good possibility this is real. Don't really see his goatee but the mustache is there and looks the correct shape.

[Tom Ripley]

83. You're right!

I can see the napkins

[giftedgirl77]

15. post it on the

Prosecutors Facebook page for the trial or tweet it to all of the HLN folks, someone is bound to notice it. Not to mention the Florida Bar Association for standards of conduct.

Douche bag needs to go down

[HipChick]

17. Anyone have that facebook?

[vankuria]

65. It's all over facebook!

Just as it's posted here on DU

[giftedgirl77]

72. Here u go

https://www.facebook.com/TrayvonMartin.SYGLawSelfDefensOrLicensetoKill?ref=stream&hc_location=stream

[MH1]

57. I agree in my heart, but my head says "it was his daughter's twitter account"

Other than getting embarrassed and told what an asshole he must be to have raised such a cretin, can he really get in trouble for what someone else posted?

[Little Star]

59. Looks like it's his arm & hand holding the camera phone, no?

[MH1]

94. There's nothing wrong with the picture. It's the caption - which would be his daughter.

Although one suspect's that it's a reflection of how it was discussed between them, that can't be proven.

That said, I'd say daughter probably just put a ceiling on Dad's career growth.

[GreenStormCloud]

76. Florida Bar Assc only covers what members do.

As his daughter is not a member, she has her full First Amendment freedoms.

[giftedgirl77]

78. The Florida Bar covers

Professional Conduct & being part of a picture that is actively mocking a current trial that an attorney is first chair on is a major issue.

It doesn't matter who posted it, he is a participant.. The bar doesn't judge based on the constitution.

[GreenStormCloud]

89. It is the caption, not the picture that mocks.

All he did was have ice cream with his daughters. It was his daughter who posted the picture and wrote the caption. You are allowing your hate to consume you and turn you into that which you hate.

[giftedgirl77]

96. what a load of crap

There was no hate in anything I said. I stated the fact that he is party to the picture & is condoning it by allowing it to stand. Therefore it is a direct reflection of his lack of professional conduct as he is the first chair in the pending case that was being referenced.

I have absolutely no ill will towards him or any other attorney that works as a defense attorney in any case. It is imperative that all individuals who are accused of a crime be given a fair trial & in doing so must have legal representation.

So get off your high horse and stop trying to make this into a personal issues.

[alcibiades_mystery]

16. Three rich white folks laughing their asses off at a poor black teenager

Nice people, these.

But by all means, carry on. None of this is about race, doncha know. Hell, NOTHING is about race anymore, right? That's what Scalia and plenty of DU seems to argue whenever the question arises.

[JI7]

23. did you see that asshole Geragos yesterday, he was doing the same thing

it's one thing to just say whether something is helping the defense or not.

but he seemed to get personal when it came to Rachel Jenteal. jeff toobin looked offended by his comments.

[warrior1]

18. it's hitting buzzfeed now

A local news station confirmed that the picture was of Zimmerman’s lawyer.

Local 10 Zimmerman @WPLGZimmerman

Rachel and Molly West left the courtroom. Their dad is not aware that the pic was on Instagram, spokesman said. http://t.co/vZXOTOzqYJ

[maddezmom]

[naaman fletcher]

28. thanks nt

[justiceischeap]

27. When you hold a camera at arms length and take a self-portrait. nt

[naaman fletcher]

29. thanks nt.

[K Gardner]

82. EXCELLENT !

[Duer 157099]

19. If by "beat" they mean "exceeds" then yes, yes indeed

that's a trio of stupid right there

[JI7]

20. Spread this, regardless of the outcome of this case, he should be called

out on this when he attempts to cash in on the trial .

[justiceischeap]

22. It's the #2 story on Global Grind

and I posted it to my Facebook page (not that there are a lot of people that will see it).

[warrior1]

25. the photo may have been taken on the first day

not that really matters

[bravenak]

30. Hey,party in the house.

They should stay off twitter.

[justiceischeap]

31. Looks like she's taken her Instragram account offline

as well as Twitter.

[JI7]

32. the daughter appears to be at least in her 30s, and this is how they behave ?

is she hoping to become the next Kardashian ?

well , as far as i know i don't think Kim or her sisters ever made fun of the friends of family of Nicole Simpson or Ron Goldman.

[npk]

35. Just waiting on the usual "My account was hacked"

I'm sure that is coming very soon.

[noiretextatique]

38. i thought this guy was an idiot

now confirmed. thanks.

[woolldog]

39. I don't see the big deal here. nt

[Maximumnegro]

90. That's hilarious!

So droll, I almost took you seriously!

[drhobo]

40. its bad but

Is it really any worse than the dozens of people posting on twitter that they will riot, burn, and murder white people if zimmerman gets away with it? Terrible people come in all colors.

[sufrommich]

41. Sure, because "dozens" of anonymous twits (who may

not be who they claim to be)is the same as the lead lawyer for the defense mocking a dead guy.

[elehhhhna]

45. + 1000000000000000000

[sufrommich]

50. The "information" in that post comes from

The Blaze,Glenn Beck 's website. I tried to alert on it and it was allowed to stand.I miss the mods.

[Little Star]

60. .

[Rose Siding]

43. False equivalency. It's worse because he's the atty and high profile.

If the prosecutor were tweeting, that would be equivalent.

[HipChick]

44. Oh you mean..like these people?

creating these hate filled FB pages

https://www.facebook.com/RIPTRAYTRAY2

[YarnAddict]

48. OMG!!! That's disgusting! n/t

[d_r]

87. click on the settings gear wheel

and you can report that hate smack to facebook

58. it's much worse, because of who it is.

The stuff you are citing - if true - is awful, but those presumably are random people who are just pissed that a guy might get off with no punishment for stalking, assaulting, and murdering a child. NOT people associated with the case in an official capacity.

[Raine]

79. Yes it's worse because this guy is going to get Zimmerman off and

this shows how he raised his kids and what entitled condescending spoiled brats they are. This guy is running a dirty bottom feeding defense.

[sad-cafe]

47. send it to Rev Al

he will follow it

[Bobbie Jo]

49. WTF is wrong with these people?

Assholes.

[treestar]

52. So wrong

Father should have taught her long ago not to talk about stuff like this period, before the Twitter era.

[adric mutelovic]

53. The defense tweeted this?

Does Molly work for the defense?

[redStateBlueHeart]

54. My momma always said...

Stupid is as stupid does.

[tavernier]

55. I know that I will get trashed and spit on for this

this, but I was devastated when O.J. was pronounced innocent and all the people of color I worked with jumped for joy and celebrated. My reaction was, ""Dear God, they are happy that he slaughtered a white woman!"
It honestly took me some years to get over that shock, but in the end it was because I finally understood how "justice" had "worked" on the other side for years. I hope we have learned; I think I have. Now I listen to the facts with my eyes and ears instead of my long established "life experiences" (read: prejudices)

[HipChick]

56. Who are they?

An unarmed kid was murdered by a grown man...he was not arrested right away..an injustice happened

Fuck OJ

[tavernier]

62. Exactly n/t

[adric mutelovic]

63. Sadly, there's a lot of taking sides due to race

The guy who is the same color as me is innocent, people seem to say.

[HipChick]

64. That's an opinion...one had a gun and one didn't

[uponit7771]

66. So you wanted the PA and the OVERTLY HATEFUL and RACIST Mark Furman to win?! Furman lied in court

...and was the only one convicted of ANYTHING during the OJ trial

Furman, the lead investigator, wanted to burn black people alive and said so on tape to a script writer!!

The tape was played during the trial and was one of the defense's GATING information

That kind of asshole losing his case was "devastating" to you?!

[tavernier]

75. To... Win???

Are you for real?? I didn't see it as a sport's event, nor do I now. People died, both then and now.

[Nevernose]

97. And there were a lot of other cops who lied on the stand

IIRC it was Detective VanAtter (can't remember how to spell his name) who mishandled all of the blood evidence and tried to cover it up.

The most ironic and iconic thing from that trial, for me, was not the Bronco or the glove, it was the insanity of framing a guilty man.

[Raine]

67. and this from the spawn of an IDIOT MORON who told a "knock

"knock" joke in court! I can see they inherited their Daddy's "brains" and "good" sense.

[HipChick]

73. She had to known better..

[Jamaal510]

74. I'm curious about what that comment says beneath it.

It looks like someone with the handle "bossboutiquebb", but I can't quite make out what the person is saying.

[Starry Messenger]

84. k&r

I'm sorry I didn't see your thread before posting, Hipchick.

[HipChick]

95. No worries...I'm just so disgusted at this...I don't have kids

But my heart breaks everytime the camera shows Trayvon's parents...and this slime_douchebag doing this

[Captain Stern]

85. Sounds like 'dad' should be keeping tabs on his daughter's twitter account.

Assuming he even knows she has one.

Maybe he knew she tweeted this, and approved of it, but I doubt it.

In my experience, parents are woefully ignorant of their children's online activities.

[KT2000]

86. Knew that is who that attorney is

A total slime. Just loved the way he would look at his colleagues and laugh at Rachel's answers.
The same caliber as his client.

[d_r]

88. it really is true

that chickfile is like crack for white suburban wannabe douchebags

[Maximumnegro]

92. Gonna keep posting

so that this never dies. I keep looking at the photo, then the tweet, then think Trayvon. Photo, tweet, Trayvon. Repeat until you realize what the f*ck kind of people we have to deal with in this world.
