Florida news: Zimmerman - free of all charges

[opether]

Ok, what happens to next? I know I'll be packing heat - there's going to be some aftermath. People are going to be bent out of shape! Me? Well, I really can't have an opinion, I wasn't privy to the facts. I have SOME opinion, but, it goes to both favors. I feel bad for Trayvon's family. Wrong place, wrong time? 8 burglaries in that neighborhood prior? Everybody on edge, here comes this kid. It's sad, really.


Is this not national news?

I suppose everyone has an opinion, but as stated above, none of us were there and were not on the jury. This incident has run it's course in the criminal justice system and the jury has spoken.

It's over, just let it rest and move on.

There won't be any riots.

The President, State of Florida and everyone knew this was the only way this verdict could have come in. Bout fucking time too.

Apparently. The lawyers here were saying the prosecutors were trying to lose. They said they were either "trying to lose, or stupid", and went on to say that "nobody hires an idiot to represent you as a prosecutor". Sad part, the "jury of his peers", was 6 women? REALLY?

There was no case. The evidence was so overwhelmingly in Zimmerman's favor this was like watching the Polish stand up to Hitler's blitzkreg on horseback with pitchforks. Even then, at least the Polish were noble.

Had the jury had any one person like Rachel Jeantel, who doesn't think calling a white person a cracker is equivalent to calling a black person the big fat N word, it would have been a hung jury. Thank goodness those 6 women stuck to their scruples and were indeed impartial.

Well, he's a bitch...so...

Would a more fair jury selection have been 6 Hispanic men? Peers in a courtroom can be pretty much any person in the community.

Carrying 2 extra mags for the XD45 today, and an AR in the trunk . Hopefully the level of unrest will equal that of OJ's acquittal, and we can all go safely about our business for the next few weeks.

I'm guess every high rolling attorney in the country will want a piece of Zimmerman's lawsuits against, well, just about everybody. AND, that race pimp extraordinaire Al Sharpton can add another big loss to his resume. TAWANA FUCKING BRAWLEY AL. DUKE FUCKING LACROSSE AL. GEORGE FUCKING ZIMMERMAN AL.

It still amazes me that that charlatan is taken seriously by anyone.

And, for anyone who's interested, Brownells has 30 round PMags back in stock for $14 & change.

[Pepi]

I love all the blacks on TV raising hell about our court systems and how they don't work. I would like to ask them how they felt about OJ trial LOL

The media and the so called (or rather SELF APPOINTED phoney leaders) are the ones who stir the pot on these type of cases


There was facts that came out that I never knew in the beginning..


Zimmerman had a broken nose and facial injuries
Trayvon had no injuries (of course fatal bullet)
Trayvon had scrapes on hands/knuckles
Trayvon was gone for 4 minutes in a what was under a 1 minute 'walk' ---- (suggestion that he possibly approached/went back at Zimmerman!)
The police were always hesitant to charge Zimmerman
The prosecution possibly overreached for murder and should have went 4 manslaughter instead


The sad part is that a 17 yr old kid is dead and it could all have been avoided, the other thing is that the media shows its true biased colors EVERY chance it has and keep us at each other throat. The media CONSTANTLY PITS US AGAINST EACH OTHER 24/7 AND AT EACH OTHERS THROAT! Go read the weekly headlines, they stir the pot CONSTANTLY, its pathetic! Who ever heard of the fucking term a "white Hispanic" before this case? They doctored pics of both people in the case as well as altered phone calls, etc - Such a disguisting media we have!


Trayvons parents have suffered a terrible loss and have looked admirable and classy under such terrible conditions and horrendous event of losing a child. People from all sides can take a cue from them

[Dickarms]

yeah the more i hear about the case, the more i see that it shouldnt have been national news one bit, and was just racial pot stirring, so to speak. fucking horseshit.

my favorite thing is the new social media news generation though. since this is national news, and is all over local media outlets, you get shit like this little gem: "ugh seriously? innocent? treyvone was murdert! this is why no one wants to move to austin!" --local austin, tx facebook account.

[EugeneTheJeep]

Yeah, the media really made this a mess. Playing on race to sell newpapers/news.

OTOH, I watched Death Wish 5 on TV last night. It was awesome.

dont foget the original Chif of Police for Sanford refused to bring charges and lost his job over it. The original prosecutor refused to prosecute so they had to find another to do it. Sad but it was purely political IMO.

[Casey4s]

Now the NAACP wants the Justice Department to bring racial charges against Zimmerman. For what? There was never any evidence what so ever suggesting racism on the part of Zimmerman. The only racial slurs that were proven in court were the comments by Martin. This is just nutz.

[EugeneTheJeep]

[ComOp]

So.... Just remember kids, if you want to kill someone in Florida, just troll them into taking a swing at you and then fire away.

[Sasquatch]

This whole case was about race. Martin calling Zimmerman a creepy ass cracker and Zimmerman profiling a young black man wearing a hoodie. Both of them were idiots and its sad that one of them lost their life.

The media is to blame though. Anything for ratings. For example, this week in PA there were two young African-American boys who rescued a 5 year old girl abducted by a 50-70 year old man. The boys chased a car with their bikes. True heros, where is the national press for this act of bravery? Something like this unites society and the press couldn't have something like this out there...

Sad but true. A great story and you hear nothin bc controversy sells. Sad.

Stupid. Zimmerman should sue Martin's family then... "Creepy ass cracker" is a racial comment. Oh wait, the NAACP most have forgot about this.

white people dont fall under the "C" part of NAACP, silly

i think the verbage of the NAACP alone is fucked up, and there will never be true equality realistically in this world, but having that organization exist, though some of their works do forward progress, is only hurting it if you think about it.

this is true just about everywhere.
Sticks and stones may break my bones
but words will never hurt me.

No matter what anyone says to you - you don't get a right to shoot them
(unless of course they say they are going to kill, while threatening you with a knife, gun, etc.)

But in most states, if someone starts to kick your ass, and you are in fear for your life (or can convince a jury that you were), you can definitely shoot someone.



Here's a question for ya - do you think Trayvon would have been killed, if he knew Zimmerman had a gun from the beginning?

[Dickarms]

probably not, i dont think. but i also dont know what happened between the police call and the ass whoopin

[madDdog67]

Hopefully that fat cow Angela Corey will end on the same career path that Mr. Nifong of Duke Lacrosse fame found himself on after THAT fiasco. Yep, dis-fucking-barred. There's a reason they have grand juries in cases like this, but I guess she knew she never would have gotten an indictment. Good times .

Do you hate women? Or are you just dumb?

Explain to me what I am missing here???

Defendant = half white, have Hispanic man. Jury = 5 white women, one Hispanic woman.

There probably should have been a man or two thrown in there. I think that is what he was getting at. Had this been tried in California, there would have been 12 people on the jury which is much more difficult to come to consensus with.
