Zimmerman Verdict In...

All the hype began over this because originally before any facts came out it appeared that the police were sweeping under the rug the shooting death of a black teenager by a white man because he looked suspicious walking in a hoodie. The media latched on to it, the race baiters, the true racial prostitutes like Al Sharpton got involved before anyone knew a damn thing about this case. Once the real facts slowly began to emerge, the media did their best to obscure them; altering audio tapes and photos of the night. Once it turned out that Zimmerman wasn't even a white man they even tried to obscure that, using terms like Self-proclaimed Hispanic and White Hispanic. For whatever reason the media wanted to stoke racial tensions.

By now any rational individual that watched the real facts of this case, or tuned into the trial at all, understands that these charges should never have been brought. Every witness corroborated Zimmerman's version of events as did all of the evidence. There are just a whole lot of people, that made a whole lot of loud horrible noise who now cannot admit that they were wrong. The whole thing sucks for everyone involved.

But honestly, who calls 911 before they are about to go shoot someone?

WHO CARES ITS OVER PAY BACK FOR O.J ENOUGH SAID

they ruined a perfectly good game of baseball.

I thought self-defense was this: "a person may use reasonable force when it appears reasonably necessary to prevent an impending injury. A person using force in self-defense should use only so much force as is required to repel the attack. Nondeadly force can be used to repel either a nondeadly attack or a deadly attack. Deadly Force may be used to fend off an attacker who is using deadly force but may not be used to repel an attacker who is not using deadly force."

I wouldn't go straight home if a man was following me. Trayvon was a young confident/foolish teenager who thought he can take care of the threat himself. Unfortunately he was succeeding until Mr. Zimmerman pulled out his gun. Really should have just stayed in his car -.-

For that matter why should he have headed home period? If someone was following him does he not have the right to defend himself if he feels threatened?

I personally would rather take the story that has some evidence over the one that has none.

Can't really call it a "suckerpunch" if Trayvon announces "Well you have a problem now." Going back to confront the man who is following you in the conditions of that night has nothing to do with an ego and you can't truly understand want was going on in Trayvon's mind. You don't always have to run away. If this man was stalking you at this time, who's to say he won't stalk you the next night and finally catch you. He didn't know Zimmerman's intentions. And just because Trayvon didn't have injuries mean he wasn't defending himself?? He was just winning the fight.

I personally would listen to both sides with open ears and not dismiss what opposing views may see.

The idiocy of saying a woman deserves to be raped for wearing slutty outfits would be a dangerous situation she put herself in.

Equating that to Zimmerman disregarding a directive from a law enforcement officer which ultimately resulted in the death of a minor is not the same logic. By disregarding that directive he placed another persons life in danger needlessly.

Also this isn't strictly a gun issue imo. It is a faulty, and poorly thought out piece of legislature. If Zimmerman had not had a firearm he still could have killed the kid by other means.

NOT GUILTY! Amazing that once and a while, justice actually doesn't get set aside for politics!

For that matter why should he have headed home period? If someone was following him does he not have the right to defend himself if he feels threatened?

I have actually kept up with this case and its handling by the media since i first heard of it, (im from the uk btw), and in my oppinion while it seems zimmerman was defending himself he should not have been carrying a gun anyway and personally feel this is the main reason for this case = illigal to carry guns except single shot rifles in cases ect and there should be no situation where a citizen should be carrying a concealed / loaded weapon if you had real gun regulations not just the well a old granny should have a gun so she can protect herself from a 20 year old with a gun kind of argument as in reality nowhere in the world has as much of a problem as the usa when it comes to guns murders and white on black racism.

simply you need to disarm the masses.

simply you need to disarm the masses and stop telling black folks that they are criminals and different from everyone else.

do all light skinned people look the same to you?
