Shorter Differently phrased Glenn Reynolds: “As the blogosphere’s preeminent gun nut, I’ve been strangely silent about the Martin killing. However, I want to make it clear that this is good for Republicans, because it will remind people that the president is black and, also, there are protests by other black people. Actual vigilante killings of unarmed black people not doing anything illegal are nothing to worry about, but DNC chairman Louis Farrakhan tweeting that people getting away with murder may lead to more violence is beyond the pale of human decency.

Oh yeah, and in my trademark passive-aggressive manner I’ll make clear that I do in fact believe Zimmerman’s ludicrously implausible story.”

…via Mark F. in comments, shorter verbatim Hindrocket: “This case has nothing to do with race. Racialists cite Zimmerman’s muttering of the phrase “f****** coons” while on the phone with 911 as evidence of racism. Others have interpreted that phrase differently, but to me, the one time I listened to it, it sounded like “f****** coons.” But so what? It is not illegal to say “f****** coons.”   So if a racist slur isn’t illegal, it ceases to become racist!  Fascinating.

Pierce:  “Well I certainly don’t feel calm and measured, and it’s not because my kids “could have been Trayvon.” No, they could not have. My kids are white. They lived in the suburbs. They could wear their pants anyway they liked. They could have worn hoodies to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, and nobody would have looked askance at them, let alone blown them away with a handgun.”
