What's sad to me is innocent and unprotected people are killed everyday. When the bloods or crips do a drive by and kill a baby in it's stroller, it get's maybe a mention on the news and then it's on to the next topic. Zimmermans an idiot, obviously, but there are heinous and violent murders that happen every day that don't get the attention this case received.

I once had a gun pulled on me by a detective in an unmarked car in SF off of Van Ness by that motorcycle shop in broad daylight in front of a bunch of witnesses over a damn traffic argument, he was honking and screaming at my dad so I got out of my dads truck and walked up to his window, before I even had a chance to speak, he pulled a Beretta on me and put it right in my face. I responded by saying, "what, you gonna shoot me because someones walking up to you, you fuckin pussy asshole!" then he showed his badge and my response was "well there goes your job you fuckin pussy, you wont have that gun to shoot people walking up to you anymore"
I wonder if he shot me, if we would have gotten off as well. I was unarmed, the media could have labeled me as some punk druggie, I was young, i smoked weed and drank beer on occasion.
I called it in, then later some cops came to my house to take a report, later I got a call from some detectives asking if I wanted to press charges, I should have, but I dont like wasting time with that crap, so I told them, "Ill forget everything if you put him in a chair in the middle of a room and have all his coworkers point and laugh at him for 5 minutes" he was lucky I wasn't a fuckin asshole with nothing better to do.
the mentality of some armed individuals is crazy. too much sociopaths in our society today, they feel all god like 'n shit holding a gun. I have a crap load of guns stateside, I never got like that not even once.

Interesting.
"Does It Get More Honest Than This?: Man Explains Why Zimmerman Is Guilty & How The Fight With Trayvon Martin Went Down."http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/v…
"If Trayvon was shot while he was on top of Zimmerman, why was there zero trace of Trayvon's DNA on the gun?"
Good question.

nothing to do with race... not sure he should have gotten off not guilty, but thats due to the fact they pursued murder vs manslaughter... the prosecution fucked it up.
plus the law states BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.
no one saw the struggle... there was reasonable doubt.
and the state did a poor job.
but the fact this turned political says something... when do you have the president commenting with bias on a case?
and now the justice system is trying to get involved?
What about this case?
http://posttrib.suntimes.com/new…why aren't people going apeshit over this one?
3 black dudes kill and rape a white girl.
not in the news.
hmmm....
- He should've been guilty of Manslaughterkgvs72
- i agree... i was thinking 5-10 for manslaughter... but remember the prosecution went for murder 2... they fucked up bad.dconstrukt
- It got turned into a racial issue, it seems they tried going for the jugular, but dude walked free, crazykgvs72
- it was a story, drama....the rape is horrific, just mind numbing terrible, but there is no story - they are guilty w/o questionformed
- Good point.yurimon
- Um.. The jury considered both counts of murder and manslaughter. Also where was the "rape" in the article you referenced?wordssssss
- Referenced?wordssssss

I've noticed - before, during and after - a pretty obvious line between liberals and conservatives. Not to say there aren't outliers - there always are - but according to my Facebook feed most people made their mind up about the trial months before it began.
That's the disgusting thing for me.
- People like that like to have their minds made up by the media. It feels good to be part of a mobLlyod
- Agreed. They watch/read their biased news that puts inflammatory wording in the articles (not subtly, I might add)identity
- Focus on you. Your family and your health. The rest is debatable or changeable.identity

Sharpton always pipes up when it's a killing/crime against Blacks from any other race. But Black on Black crime or against any other race? Zzzzzzzzzz snooze button for life.

Regardless of what was presented, this happened... (therefore the outrage)
Zimmerman was instructed by police to stay in his car, he didn't, instead, as a private and equal citizen, he confronted Martin, Martin defended himself from whatever gray area happenings occurred until Zimmerman felt it necessary to shoot him.
To claim Zimmerman was acting in self-defense makes it seem that Martin approached him, which we all know not to be the case. Zimmerman killed Martin for defending himself from his (Zimmerman's) attacks.
If Zimmerman would have done as instructed by authorities, Martin would be alive.
Zimmerman is a murderer.
- i think it's fair to call him an 'idiot' who created a situation that was completely unnecessary, then it escalated into tragedy.prophetone
- into tragedy.prophetone
- What about on the 911 call when the police asked him where he was going? The juror said this was very important.CygnusZero4
- And is overlooked by uninformed people on the internet.CygnusZero4

I think that this turned into a race issue is more to do with dividing people and just passing attention off of other issues.
this being one of many,
http://newsone.com/2172703/ben-j…nothing gets people riled up like diverting attention on real problems and to blame something outside of themselves.
- Is that "doing worse" crimes or doing worse in life?mg33

Strangely, you didn't see every white person in the states riot and want to kill ppl when OJ got not guilty.... and EVERYONE knew he did it.
people are always gonna try and make these things a race issue... its a weak excuse... and its sad for the president to comment on it and turn it into a political thing.
bottom line its a sad situation... a kid is dead, family is devastated forever, and this totally could have been avoided IF zimmerman did his job and listened to the cops.
no one but those 2 will know what really happened in those moments... but the bottom line is REASONABLE DOUBT.
now a civil suit is different... the burden of proof is totally different so he COULD get guilty for that.... if they pursue it.
meanwhile this was going on... look at whats REALLY been going on in our nation...
