Trayvon Martin's autopsy reveals injuries to his knuckles. How else was this young man to defend himself when

he was unarmed and threatened with a gun?

Just asking but how do you know he was threatened with a gun? I haven't heard that the "White Hispanic" (thanks race baiting rich white progressive people in the city that screwed America for that one) that Zimmerman had shown the gun. Maybe I missed it on the Leap Forward Station though bahahaha

    I am surprised that Zimmerman being Hispanic did not play the race card himself, being a minority (Did you

    see the broadcast tonight that Minorities (Hispanic) now surpass whites in U.S. Births). Anyway, he is

    liable. Imagine a 17 year old teenager being stalked by a 28 year old man. It makes my blood boil, thinking

    of my gandson Kyle, also 17, in that situation. Zimmerman should have stayed in his car. Right?As for his blood revealing MJ, that does not mean he was

    on it that night. It could have been in his bloodstream 90 days. I have never tried it, and maybe I should

    being off Xanax, but doesn't MJ calm you and make you laid back? Anyway, whenever I see a picture of

    young Trayvon I fight back tears, such a handsome, All-American kid. And I hope justice prevails. Phyllis

      Seems like you mention hispanics birth rate now out number whites with pride. Our young people of today can now look at Mexico and see what this country will look like in 50 years. Not a very pretty sight. Sure glad I will not be here to see it.

        No, not with pride, just making a point about Zimmerman not playing the race card. And you can't go by

        that anyway. My husband and I are "white" and Kunz is German. I have brown hair and green eyes, and

        our daughter has blonde hair and blue eyes, typically German. You never know. And, I am not going.

        I don't wanna miss anything that Life offers...........The Abundant Life!!!!!!!!!! You will miss out.

        But to each his own. Best, Phyllis

          Dave, I was just reading more info about Trayvon Martin and in regard to Zimmerman the Stand Your Ground

          Defense Law was cited which allows the use of deadly force whenever someone feels threatend by

          serious bodily harm. Actually his life by a gun. It cuts both ways as summed up in a Court in Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov. I rest my case.

          And Thank Goodness It is Friday. Have a nice day! Phyllis

            PS Dave (Louisville Courier Journal, letters to editors) and to my point about stand your ground:

            Is it unreasonable to think that if an individual was being followed by a person unknown (who,

            it turns out, was told not to leave his car and follow the individual and was carrying a gun), that the

            individual could challenge that person and to question the reason for him being t here? Also that under

            these circumstances, the "stand your ground" law could apply easily to that person?" Just asking!!!!!

            "George Zimmerman was\w in a location that he should not have been and had no lawful reason t o challenge anybody." I agree with this author who wrote a good, effective letter and why I am quoting

            all of it.

            The letter appeared this morning in our newspaper. The gentleman would make a good lawyer.

              Good Evening Mr.Williams, A great broadcast last evening. You were really wonderful on "Late Night with David Letterman" on Monday! Always funny! Enjoyed seeing you!

              Sad to learn of more tragedy in the Kennedy Family with the loss of Mary Kennedy. Certainly much tragedy has been part of that family. One hopes for a bright future for the children since they have endured so much already in their lives.

              One hopes the wildfires in Arizona can be quelled with around 1000 firefighters bravely fighting the blaze which has claimed so many acres.

              The piece by Mr.Almaguer about the swalllows was interesting and nice. It was cute to see all the birds making nests in the mission. Hopefully, they will return after the renovations are complete.

              Looking forward to another great broadcast tonight! Peace to You and to All!

              Be Well Everyone!

              Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard! Enjoyed seeing you on The Rachel Maddow Show last night!

              Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

                Good Evening Mr.Williams, a fine broadcast this evening as always.

                First of all the report by Stephanie Gosk about the terrible economic situation in Greece. It is staggering and disturbing to see how drastic the country's economic situation has become over this time. Seeing people standing in line for basic necessities of food and other items is awful and one hopes things get better. Although, the government is now split in parlaiment so things might not change until the elections are held in June. It is worrisome as seen in the report to residents that Greece may not have the Euro as currency anymore and go back to their own currency. Understandable people withdrew large sums of money from the banks in fear. This situation in Greece has a major affect on the whole world so one hopes the elections will bring something positive to the country's economy. Time will tell.

                The report by Mr.Sanders about the Trayvon Martin Case certainly showed some new evidence about what happened that night. The photos of the crime scene and of Mr.Zimmerman were interesting, but one still doesn't have any decisive answers. It is a terrible tragedy and the investigation truly revealed many probems. One hopes justice is done for everyone. It is sad and tragic the loss of a young life.

                Sad to learn the loss of singer Donna Summer at only 63yrs old. She was truly the "Queen of Disco" and had many hit songs that people danced to for years. She did make her mark in pop songs and she will be missed.

                Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!

                Be Well Everyone!

                Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard!

                Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!
