Zimmerman acquitted. Let the wild rumpus begin

CLEVELAND, July 13, 2013 -- Just thought you'd like to know: George Zimmerman has just been acquitted by an all-female jury. We chanced to catch a bulletin on the verdict whilst sitting at an airport hotel bar not long after we checked in. We thought you'd like to know as we work to revive our old and long-dormant blog.

The whole thing was quite surreal. This particular bar, like most bars these days, was running baseball coverage which was suddenly interrupted by the report. Since we'd been on the road all day, traveling from DC to Cleveland, catching this report live was a long shot.

But now that the news is blasting out, it will be interesting to see if we get a second act tonight or tomorrow night. News trickled out this week that the Obama Administration's so-called Justice Department (DOJ) agitated to get George Zimmerman arrested in the days following his shooting of Treyvon Martin. Now that the Chicago Gang has been thwarted in its attempt to racialize this tragic incident, it will be interesting to see if the various threats from various race-baiters to riot in Florida and everywhere else will come to fruition.

We'll have more later. But right now, this verdict, which we regard as entirely justified, is news enough.

UPDATING: Didn't take long for the vile left wing trolls to start spamming this stuff. Via the invaluable Twitchy:

Seriously. You can't make this stuff up.
