$150K bond for Zimmerman

George Zimmerman stunned a Florida court today by taking the stand and apologizing to the parents of Trayvon Martin, who were sitting in the courtroom during Zimmerman's bond hearing.
"I am sorry for the loss of your son. I did not know how old he was. I thought he was a little bit younger than I am. I did not know if he was armed or not," Zimmerman said addressing Martin's family directly.
Martin's father, Tracy Martin, cried tears of anger after the apology, his attorney Ben Crump told reporters after the hearing.
Zimmerman took the stand wearing a dark suit with his hands shackled to a belt around his waist. He appeared to be wearing a bullet-proof vest beneath his loose-fitting suit.
His surprising testimony came the same day that ABC News exclusively obtained a photograph showing the bloodied back of Zimmerman's head, which was apparently taken three minutes after he shot and killed Martin. The photo could give credence to Zimmerman's claim that Martin had bashed his head against the concrete as Zimmerman fought for his life.

    Love that the story closes with comment from the thug's mommy:

    "the prosecutors have seen all the evidence, and still believe [Jorge] murdered [Martin]."

    BULL$#!+, Lady.

    "The prosecutors have seen all the evidence, yet they STILL arrested Jorge because the race-hustlers stirred up all the half-wits into threatening nationwide riots if they didn't."

    There, biatch.

    FIFY.

    I *KNEW* there was something like this out there, but SEEING it just makes my blood boil.

    If Jorge Zimmerman doesn't walk, and *WE* don't riot, then AFAIAC there's nothing left of Our Founders Republic to save - and *I* will be moving to Chile or New Zealand.

    OTOH, the $150k bond is surprisingly low for such a case - hopefully that's a good sign as well although I expect The Usual Suspects will be milking that for more threats of violence as well...
