Why the Herculean effort to shield Mr. Zimmerman from arrest?

I know his daddy is a retired judge, but so what? You would think he had his finger on a doomsday device or owned pictures of the Governor fucking a Pomeranian or something.

Is it just that everyone in government there is so damned corrupt? I really don't get it.

What we have here is institutionalized corruption in criminal "justice".

If online information didn't exist, the corporate media would be parsing out information and the cover-up would be pristine.

of the governor engaged in bestiality - along with evidence of corruption up and down the state government.

Sometimes a Special Prosecutorn is needed to shakeup the system. So far this sad crime has both.

On HLN last night I heard a lawyer talking about how he's no doubt going to be found guilty at his trial. Oh, really. He hasn't even been arrested yet! Much less indicted and brought to trial. Sheeesh.
