Zimmerman----not guility

[mudslinger47]

Wow, sanity abounded....who knew?

Course, Obummer and Holder certainly aren't finished with him.....

[STRNGRTHANDIRT]

Rev. Al and Jessie will be there stirring the pot, also. Those two are nothing but race pimps making a lot of money off cases like this.

[Clayton_Wetter]

All of the above mentioned people will now continue to stir the pot, divide people, and incite civil unrest and rioting for as long as they can. It is a part of their assault on America as we know it.

[mudslinger47]

This will more then likely be stirred up by this Administration (they've already started) and paid for by us tax payers. Now what I want to know is will the obummer supporters continue to support him? The court of law cleared Mr Zimmerman, will obummer let that ride? Nope.....

So it's okay to conceal a weapon, pick a fight, then shoot the guy when he starts beating your a$$?

Zimmerman had a concealed carry permit, was a neighborhood watch captain in a neighborhood that had recently been victimized by a rash of burglaries by young black teens. His duties included watching for suspicious people in the neighborhood. Zimmerman was attacked by Martin not the other way around. Eye witnesses testified that to be the case. Zimmermans Black neighbor also stated Zimmerman was doing his duty and was glad he was doing it.

Martin was getting the best of Zimmerman and then went for his gun, that's when Zimmerman shot him. I can just about bet if you were in his shoes, getting your head slammed on concrete and the kid was black, white , indian, or asian you would have done the same when they went for your gun.

Based on all of the evidence, not emotions but evidence, 6 jurors said yes it was okay for the shooting.

The real tragedy is the parents of the young man killed didn't do a better job of teaching their child not to be a thug. This trial never should have happened. It made the Florida Prosecutor's office look like a bunch of Jackholes. If you want to blame someone blame the prosecutors that tried the case, cause they casted more doubt on the case than the defense did!

Where are all these gasbags in the justice department and in the media or the so called leaders of the black community when 10 or 11 young black people are gunned down..................by other young black people in chitcago over any given weekend. Where is their outrage then?!

You've got 70% of black children born out of wedlock with no father involved in their lives, 50% high school drop out rate (school ain't cool) in the black community and the real kicker is that 92% of all young black males murdered are killed by other young black males. Do any of you folks that watch MSNBC ever hear those number quoted on that network.

I didn't think so.

Race baiting is their game and the ratings show it.

So where exactly does that say he is a police officer? He had no right to confront, stop, or question Martin. Even the 911 operator told him to back off. Instead he followed (stalked) Martin which resulted in a confrontation. A confrontation in which he knowingly had an ace up his sleeve with that pistol.

Where the Florida Prosecutor's office messed up is charging him with 2nd Degree Murder instead of Manslaughter, because that's really what happened here. If it had been Manslaughter, the verdict would have been different. He deserves some jail time, and the loss of the right to carry a gun for the rest of his life.

why was this case made public in the first place

Following someone at a distance is not picking a fight and when someone caves your head in and you die, just lie there and LET it happen!!!

You don't try to beat up or kill someone just because you are being observed!

[Clayton_Wetter]

To give the media something to distract from the REAL news and to incite civil unrest and divide people.

He was serving the community by helping watch for thieves who were hitting the neighborhood. Meanwhile Martin was kicked out of a school, had criminal charges that were overlooked by a school, was smoking pot, was spouting racial hatred on the phone and on the streets, was suspended again for pot and pipe and Stanford school, was roaming the streets instead of going straight home, and was basically a thug. And can you not deny that anyone acting this way is NOT a suspicious character or do you welcome people doing that (loitering in the nght) around your house and community?

Which do you prefer? Oops, you have already showed us!

You really should have watched the trial instead of the mainstream media. No one said he was a cop. He didn't confront Martin he followed him and was confronted by Martin who approached him after ducking between two houses. It is not against the law to follow someone, especially when it's your duty as a neighborhood watch Captain. He also stopped following him when the Operator told him to. He was on his way back to his vehicle when he was approached by Martin who then sucker punched him.

The prosecution never should have pressed charges in the first place and they knew it. If not for political pressure this never would have gone to trial. Hence the weak case the prosecution brought up. By the way they did have Manslaughter on the table. The judge directed the Jury they could also convict on that. Once Self Defense was established it was game over.

Again, everyone is looking at this with emotion and not looking at the facts of the case. Thank god the Jury was smart enough to just look at the facts and 16 hours later found him not guilty.

Your wrong on this one "stuck".... Zimmerman was golden in this deal....Had Trayvon known Zimmerman had a gun it probably wouldn't have happened.....ifs, buts and maybe

[buster83]

the state knew they did not have much of chance for 2nd degree murder then they met with the judge and try to get
manslaughter charge, but there is no law getting out of car and following somebody.martin assaulted the rent cop
got him down and started hammering his head on the sidewalk.martins father did not recognize the audible of the scream for help it was Zmans. even the juror said they all cried but Zman did nothing wrong.
