Because so many criminals have beat charges by a mere technicality, many cops, as a matter of course, automatically Mirandize EVERYONE they take into custody. It is once you start to question a suspect, that the Miranda warning better be in place. If a cop questions a person of interest or actual suspect before they Mirandize them, it is sheer stupidity of the cops and anything the suspect says cannot be used in court. However, if a suspect starts shooting off his/her mouth voluntarily, that can be used. A smart interrogator will have them repeat whatever they said once they have Mirandized them. People mistakenly think everyone has to be Mirandized simply because they are temporarily in custody. Material witnesses do not have to be Mirandized. Miranda warnings are federal and apply in all states by virtue of 'case law' (SCOTUS) in Miranda v AZ. States still have the right to use their own state statues, which vary from state to state, depending on the circumstances. Just a synopsis version of Miranda. In the case of Zimmerman, I believe he was placed in cuffs as a matter of dept. procedure. It does not mean he committed a crime. It does not mean he was arrested. He was placed in custody pending questioning.

Remember when the anthropological terms for different races were caucasoid, negroid and mongoloid? Even MLK used "negro" for what is now called blacks. and "Negroes" were generally a proud people. Mexicans used to be proud of being a 'Mexican" instead of the new fangled label "Hispanic". Now, what prompted all these changes in labels? Try the EEOC and liberals hell bent on controlling minorities. In the early 80's, the EEOC decided to even change science/anthropology. What was once Spanish and Indian mixes (Mestizos) are now Hispanic. What was once negro is now "African-American". Well, odd that the CONTINENT of Africa was inhabited in the north by whites as well as in south Africa. Blacks were from the sub-Saharan region. There are a number of sovereign countries (54) on the continent. According to liberals and political correctness, whites should then also be considered African-Americans if their heritage lies in the northern part of the continent. Imagine the outcry if whites started using that label. The same principle applies to Mexicans, now defined as Hispanics. Another convoluted term concocted by liberals for political purposes. These are the same liberals that voted down EVERY civil rights bill...including the women's right to vote. They do not care about minorities, even idiots like Sheila Jackson Lee. They care about YOUR money and THEIR power. It is all about manipulation. Right now, this Trayvon case is all about inciting hate in an election year by racists who CHOOSE to keep America divided. Obamao would LOVE to declare Martial Law and remove the 2nd Amendment. This b_s going on in FL is simply instigated fodder for a filthy administration to use. Sharpton should be charged with a hate crime for telling blacks to "escalate" their rampages. Jackson should be charged also for duplicity. They have become millionaires off their own black communities. And for what? Nothing more than money and hatred. Choice is up to REAL, patriotic citizens. Continue to be duped or stand up be accounted for against the socialist/Marxist movement. Using race to divide and take down the United States is about as dishonest and unscrupulous as it gets.

The Black Panthers are supported by both Obamao and Holder. They committed federal crimes in front of the entire nation and were given a pass by both Holder and Obamao. Show me where whites have started hate rallies over a whites death or injury by a black? Show me where whites have taken to a FEDERAL chamber...the House and eulogized someone white because of a crime? Show me black outrage over blacks murdering a pregnant white woman? Over a 13 yr old boy having gasoline and then lit afire while the black perps said he "got what he deserved for being white" (paraphrased)? These are only TWO incidents. I could list dozens, but the result is ALWAYS the same....the media ignores the heinous crimes blacks commit against whites. If a group called WAAWP ...White Assc. for the Advancement of White People were started, the racist cries of outrage would be heard clear to Mars. Further, if the KKK had organized protests like Sharpton has maliciously done, federal troops would ordered in to squelch them. If there were white "flash mobs" attacking people and marauding stores, the NG would be called in. Make NO mistake about it. With regard to your comment on "arrest". He was arrested. They did in FACT question him. Once questioning starts, the person MUST be Mirandized. An arrest has to take place for this to happen. Placing handcuffs on Zimmerman would have been for officer safety and dept. procedure. After hearing Zimmerman's account, they found no substantive reason to hold him further. No bail would have been required. MANY people (including blacks) are let out without a bond. It's called OR'd..."own recognizance". Rush, you know nothing of police procedure.

Gangs kill each other for more turf control and protecting the turf they have. However, black on white crime has dramatically increased in the past 20 years. Look up "BOW"...acronym for black on white crime. Also look up "Black Foot Soldiers". The BFS advocates killing "whitey" and have a site dedicated to a LOT of hateful language. FBI crime stats are also behind and a LOT of black on white crime never makes it to the FBI. It is up to the individual cities to report their crime to the FBI...many cities don't bother. Then you have the idiots who refuse to report for fear of 'profiling' or ticking off people like Sharpton and his ilk. So, in actuality, unless you read many different news outlets, you have no idea of how many black on white crimes are indeed happening.

If he thinks unemployment fell to 8.3%, he is not only stupid (we already know that), but he is truly insane. Personally, I think he should be drug tested, but we probably would never see the true results. Like all his other records, the findings would be sealed. Bottom line....he HAS to go. Alone, Obamao doesn't have the brains God gave a billy goat...it's his puppet masters that are dangerous to OUR country.

Wal Mart is going to ban from their stores because I am always telling someone in the checkout line about the stupidity of Obamao when they are grousing about something. People who voted for the miscreant and now complain about him annoy the hell out of me.

Is that what Obamao called it in 2010 when he didn't pay any taxes? His tax filing is online. Nor did his tax returns reflect the automatic deduction that is suppose to come right out of his checks for personal expenses in the WH. He just a con job in a suit.

These people are so desperate it is down right funny. What isn't funny is, they are trying to indoctrinate OUR young people with their b_s. Geeeez Biden is an idiot and a half.

They weren't invented for emergencies per se, they were invented for companies to make money on yet 1 more electronic device. Whatever do people do when their home service and internet are knocked out because of a storm? Cry censorship? Cell phones are a convenience, nothing more, nothing less. Towers that carry cell transmissions are also knocked out periodically due to storms or high volume of traffic. As another person pointed out, what do you do when you are in an area where getting a signal is impossible? I am as conservative as they come, but in my opinion, this is much ado about nothing. Why can't people learn to disconnect for a few hours? Really, do we need to be yapping 24/7? This really isn't about "rights", it sounds more like people being spoiled with their toys and availability at all times. Yes, I like to know, in case of a real emergency, I could call out. However, I also know there may come a time when cell towers go down because they were vandalized. Then what will all you folks do? I agree, SF is a den of liberal iniquity. But, I do not believe shutting down cell phones for a few hours because of these idiotic mobs is a rights violation. Nor is it suppression of free speech. It was a precaution. Would you rather precautions be taken or would you rather have criminal mobs being able to communicate their intent to do harm? Choice is yours.
