He had intent. No one will ever convince me there wasn't an agenda within that jury room.

No, not every Concealed Carry Permittee has intent when leaving their home after making an observation and sentencing an innocent person to death.

Just because a person Conceal Carries does mean they ever plan on using that potential. Planning and potential are two different paradigms.

The Jury in Sanford was tainted and no one had to know anyone else within the trial room. The jury was tainted by media saturation. The more media coverage an incident receives the more long lasting it becomes as a significant event and the more people 'learn of it.' They learn of it by statistical CHANCE. 

Any commercial for a product never has impact by airing one time. That would be an introduction. The product has to be viewed at least seven times for a person to pay attention to it. 

The Superbowl is a completely separate topic. Those commercials even get pre-play exposure and are expected to be remembered. But, to make an impact there is a science that accompanies advertising. 

In the case of George Zimmerman, every time there as an event surrounding the case it was media exposure and an opportunity to introduce Stand Your Ground as 'in danger.' 

George Zimmerman had the entire gun industry attempting to influence the outcome of his trial. It got to the point every time the words Trayvon Martin, Stand Your Ground or George Zimmerman were spoken there was automatic gut reactions. Those gut reactions are what media lives for and seeks because it proves they are 'in touch' with an exponential number of potential consumers. The 'air time' becomes more valuable. I consider that media focus a from of 'repeat offender.' No conscience except that of profit driven viewership.

How does a media organization make their entire programming 24/7 as marketable as their commercials? 

Oh, "Gut Reactions," is where the tabloids live. No facts, just money. It builds it's own culture. It is what drives news these days. They compete as if tabloids to garner a following that translates into profit. The 'gut reaction' is important to get folks attention supposedly. Whatever.

Oh, fact check. It has it's limits and creates it's own culture. What good is a fact check is it doesn't say anything different?

When George Zimmerman saw Trayvon Martin walking down the street in Sanford, Florida, he quickly assumed that the Black, hoodie-clad teenager was carrying a weapon. In Zimmerman’s own words, “He’s got his hand in his waistband. And he’s a black male. … Something’s wrong with him. Yup, he’s coming to check me out. He’s got something in his hands. I don’t know what his deal is. … These assholes, they always get away.”...

...The fact that George Zimmerman assumed so quickly that Trayvon Martin was reaching for a weapon smacks of obvious racial prejudice. It ended up being a tragic assumption that led to the death of an innocent young student, who had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. But was this mistake unique to Zimmerman in particular? Unfortunately, a 2002 study by psychologist Joshua Correll suggests that your average, run-of-the-mill college student might have made a similar snap judgment....

...Police Officer’s Dilemma... shooter bias...measured racism did not have any relation to shooter bias. However, one thing did predict performance on the task – the participants’ level of awareness that there is prejudice towards Black people in American society, even if the participant adamantly did not support those stereotypes....Did racism motivate George Zimmerman’s actions against Trayvon Martin? Probably. But does a person have to be racist to make the same split-second judgment? No....

Did the study in the 1940s change anything about the American Culture? No. There would not be an 'ethnic' Barbie until 1971 and no Asian Barbie until 1980. (click here) Why would any study on racism change anything for our minorities to prevent the real prejudiced danger surrounding their lives? KNOWING the prejudice exists is not enough. APPLICATION of the knowledge LEADS to that paradigm shift.

...A study from the 1940s demonstrated that young Black girls often preferred to play with White-skinned dolls over Black-skinned dolls, presumably because they were growing up in a culture endorsing the idea that White = Beautiful.... 

Our minorities are more than correct to make their perspective known. More than correct to 'call everyone out' on what they know about their own lives.

The research proves beyond a shadow of a doubt the Supreme Court decision about Section 5 was completely bigoted and without a sound scientific base. Now. where are the impeachments? They'll never come.

The Section 5 decision was leveraged for political purposes. The Robert's Court 'measures' it's opinion to justify the important extremist decisions. Those leveraged decisions allow a rebuttal of any of the opinions it is a politically activist court.
