RE: ZIMMERMAN -- Let The Boycotting Begin

http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=818186

Probably not the first one. Definitely not going to be the last one: Stevie Wonder boycotting FLA until such laws that caused the Zimmerman case to be the result are repealed(or changed, I would think).

Let's face it, folks: This is going to go on for a while. So let's try not to get it locked, OK......?

 

Good for him.

 

Not to throw gasoline on the fire, but I'm still a little perplexed about what could have possibly gotten it locked yesterday.

 

Do you think the number of boycotters will surpass that of those boycotting Food Network for getting rid of Paula Deen for merely saying one word 27 years ago that everybody has at least thought once in their lives?

 

If it means the lines are shorter the next time I go to Disney World, I hope everyone boycotts...

Seriously, I get that Florida has its issues, but it seems ridiculous to boycott an entire state over what a jury of six decided.

 

To clarify, I think his complaint is against the law itself, not the jury's decision based upon that law.

 

Thanks. We were wondering because it seemed like the rest of us were being civil enough.

 

True, and I think it's a bad law. If you are a fraidy cat with a gun, you can shoot anyone.

 

I don't think Stevie Wonder was the cause of the line problems, they allow the handicapped to go right to the front.

Maybe LeBron will use this to justify The Decision to opt out after next season?

 

I'm not sure that Zimmerman, however, who was pretty much provably getting the ever-living shit beat out of him, was the best sacrificial lamb for opponents of the law to parade around.

 

It is interesting how much is being said about the "Stand your ground" law, which was referenced by seemingly every news outlet covering this trial, even though Zimmerman never used it as his defense...

They can just bring Stevie there and tell him he's in Atlanta.
