Did anyone just see the Today Show?

[lukkadairish]

Ann Curry was interviewing Zimmerman's attorney and a friend of Zimmerman. The friend was semicontentious with Curry throughout the whole segment, but the last exchange was very telling....this man declared unequivocally that he was certain that a physical confrontation. Had to take place, and that 'someone had to die'. His own words. Unbelievable

1. Well, that's what it really comes down to, doesn't it?

"Someone had to die."

Hip hip hooray for the new age of American vigilantism.

2. And what exactly was the reason someone had to die?

Trayvon was unarmed and walking home, not in some random neighborhood. Oh! And he had a hoodie and a box of candy. I work in UC Berkeley and the hoodie is ubiquitous here. He was chased while being a young black teen even after the chaser was told not to chase. Period. What about that is a 'must die' situation?

3. Goes with the territory. Here's a sign that mysteriously appeared in Orlando in few years ago

4. This is unacceptable

"Someone had to die"? That is the dumbest crock of sh*t I've heard this week. This is very telling about the mindset of these people. An unarmed kid was murdered in cold blood because some racist POS with a gun decided this was what the outcome would be. I hope Zimmerman rots in jail, and in hell afterwards. Everything I've heard from his friends trying to defend his actions absolutely enrages me.

5. Dumbass

He's saying that Zimmerman decided he was going to kill Trayvon right then and there. What other conclusion can you make from that statement? Not much help to Zimmerman.

6. You mean "Today's Gossip Show"? Nope

TV is a sales vehicle for business propaganda, NOTHING on it is remotely believable.

7. Now I don't think that's true at all.

Sure, I'm all for taking everything with a grain of salt, but to make a blanket statement like that is, to me, going a little too far.
