Rachel Jeantel: I Believe Trayvon Threw The First Punch

Wow.

Now let's note what this isn't: It's not actually witness testimony. Jeantel doesn't know just like you don't know and just like I don't know.

Well actually I know -- I know Martin threw the first punch and the only actually effective punches -- because I'm a blogger and I have a limited means of viewing, accessing, and even interacting with the past via a method I won't go into.

So this is just her supposition, which means just as much as anyone's, except mine, which is accurate because I was there but can't talk about it and just stop asking about it already.

But Jeantel did know Martin as a person. And she's not only not saying "I could never see Trayvon attacking someone," she's actually saying "Yes, based on my impressions of Trayvon Martin, I'd expect him to be the aggressor in a confrontation."

Oh, and since we're on the subject (are we ever off it?), O'Reilly & guests think that NBC is going to have to pay Zimmerman millions for their defamation, and O'Reilly isn't crying about that at all.

Much See TV: Al Sharpton will interview Rachel Jeantel tonight.

The closed captioning guy just hanged himself. He left this note: "Avenge me."
