The state of Florida’s politically driven decision to charge George
Zimmerman with murder has resulted, as some of us predicted it would, in a
pathetically weak case. It has taken only a few days of trial to collapse of
its own weightlessness – undone, in fact, by the direct testimony of a
prosecution witness, as Bryan Preston relates at the Tatler and Ed Morrissey
details at Hot Air.
Over a year ago, I explained why this would happen:

发帖数: 2611 | 4 DEFINITION of 'War Exclusion Clause'
A clause in an insurance policy that specifically excludes coverage for acts
of war such as invasion, insurrection, revolution, military coup and
terrorism. A war exclusion clause in an insurance contract refers to
protection for an insurer who will not be obligated to pay for losses caused
by war-related events. Insurance companies commonly exclude coverage perils
that they cannot afford to pay claims on. |

There is a big "but" to that statement, though; Trump not conceding on Nov.
9th after demonstrably losing and in any way making statements to provide
fuel to what is essentially shaping up to be an armed insurrection against
the U.S. government is treason and Comrade Midget Digits should absolutely
be held accountable for it.
