Angry Grandpa is an awesome youtube actor. He and his grandson started out doing spoof videos of the old man years ago, back when they lived in a soon-to-be-condemned trailer park in Savannah, Georgia. Grandpa is an old line Dixie democrat, working man type, and he came down to Florida to visit the site in a woody thicket where Caylee Anthony's tiny body was found, to leave flowers and say a prayer. He was soon in free flowing tears and unable to continue the recording. It was the only serious video he has ever done.

Although this one is over the top and part of grandpa's "act", he is no doubt seriously pissed off by the Zimmerman acquittal (I doubt the TV was live, but a DVR cap being replayed to enact the Grandpa Raging episode).

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Welp, looks Like Zimmerman, in addition to being a scumbag murder and woman-beater, is also a child-molestor.

Yes, Eric the jury along with the Judge, the Prosecution and all the other lawyers that have been on NPR, local public radio, commercial radio, and the networks are wrong.

...or perhaps you are?

Now that's an "appeal to authority/popularity" fallacy if I've ever seen one.

Eric has consistently provided evidence supporting what he says.  All you've done is... repeat yourself and then say that "Hey all of these people disagree with you so therefore you must be wrong"

Might want to try a little harder.

I have to disagree with you here, Nickerson's argument is not fallacious. If a large number of experts agree to something in their field of expertise, that is decent evidence in favour of it. Not perfect, of course, but it's not irrelevant either. This is even more so in law, which is a human construction and where the truth is ultimately determined by human beliefs and actions.

That is, conditional on his premise being true and in fact the judge, the prosecution and every other legal expert consulted on the matter agree with him. I have no idea if this is true or not, and I generally trust Eric's knowledge on the subject so it seems odd. But in any case, that would be a matter of factual error, not fallacious reasoning.

I say let them.  They'll ruin their reputation, and give Zimmerman what he deserves: more publicity.  His life was over the moment this went public, think about it...there are going to be people who are none too pleased with the verdict, and some who are quite literally out for his blood.  He'll have to watch his back until either this dies down or, if he gets enough media attention post facto, then it'll last until he's dead.  He will NEVER lead the life he did before this, its no longer possible.  He gets just what he deserves, freedom and life in a nightmare of constant fear.

I, personally, hope no one ever forgets this and that Zimmerman lives a nice, LONG life.  Let him live to 100 years-old, and let every day be filled with fear of retribution.

Well it's their job to defend people in court. Even the one's that are guilty.

I'm slightly sceptical about these accusations that keep popping up. I mean on one hand the timing is what it is while on the other hand it does make sense that she's been afraid of him untill now so she didn't come out with this before...

I'd like to say the court can handle this, that they are better equipped and have better access to facts than a random person with an internet connection but after the last time Zimmerman was in court I'm not sure if I trust the US justice system's judgement.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

That article was written a year ago, apparently, so it isn't an accusation that was suddenly made after he got acquitted.

Am I the only one bothered by one of the jurors being a racist and saying things such as:

“I think George was pretty consistent..told the truth basically. It happened, “pretty much the way George said."
“I have no doubt George feared for his life, in the situation he was in at the time."
“Zimmerman’s heart was in the right place … just went terribly wrong."
"Trayvon should’ve walked away."
"I think Trayvon got mad and attacked him (George Zimmerman)."
"Rachel Jeantel was not credible…I felt bad for her. A lot of the time, she was using phrases I’ve never heard before."
“I think all of us (the jury) didn’t think race played a role."
"I didn’t understand why the case had gotten so big because I didn’t see this case as racial."
"And all the people that want him guilty, aren’t going to have any closure. I just never saw it as a racial thing."
“George Zimmerman was just frustrated. I think he just didn’t know when to stop. Too many things were happening in his neighborhood. I think he’s changed now."
“I think he has every right to carry a gun."
George Zimmerman is going to be more responsible with a gun than anyone else on the planet right now.
Initial jury vote was: 3 for not guilty, 1 for second degree murder, 2 for manslaughter
"The laws regarding manslaughter, self-defense, etc. were very confusing to comprehend."
*sobs* “This was an emotional trial." *Anderson Cooper asks if she felt sad for Trayvon Martin*……………….Um yes and I feel sorry for George too.
It’s just sad that we all had to come together and figure out what is going to happen to this man’s life afterwards."

Well, he did. George kept following him after he tried to flee.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.
