Wow! I actually didn't see that coming... I thought Trevon would be considered "defending himself." What are your thoughts?
Of course I never thought Casey Anthony would be found not guilty either....
-
he walked up to a guy..
the guy attacked him..
he shot him
shit.. dont go attacking people just cuz they come up to you..
fuck America for making this such a big deal
-
Why does the news always zoom in on certain shootings... In Chicago alone, there are 50+ murders a day. What about those victims?
-
I'm sure if anyone got hit in the head while being attacked, they would fear for their life enough to shoot their assailant. The case also lost its racial momentum that the media was pushing for when everyone found out that Zimmerman was Colombian. I'm pretty sure that all the background bullshit that usually pushes cases over the edge of ridiculousness stopped after everyone found out that he is hispanic and not white.

wtf are u on crack?

50+ murders a day? LULWUT.
But who cares about this case, there still are tons of murder cases everywhere else.

If I was fucking tripping dude... I'd be happy as a loon!! Check out the news and get with the program!! It's called reality! Chicago has the highest "crime" rate involving murders. Do some research!
-
I was only trying to point out that there were many many more murders (not in the public eye) as the Zimmerman trial was. Sorry if I used Chicago as an example. I wasn't trying to offend anyone.

I'm with thelorax on this one. I didn't following this case hardly at all. Might have watched a little bit about it on TV a few days back for 5 or 10 minutes enough to learn that Zimmerman was all bloody when the cops showed up. Unless he beat himself up or something I think it's pretty obvious he was acting in self defense as Martin attacked him. I'm probably lacking a lot of the facts but from my brief exposure to this case I just had the feeling he was going to get off.

LOL. The news. Yeah, wow, that's amazing. So there is 18,250 murders in chicago alone a year, that's more than all of the United States when you include Chicagos real murder rate xD

Just gotta trust the jury did right - they spent weeks analyzing the case whereas I'm just browsing SR for some things.
Not super surprised if Zimmerman told the truth - got attacked and had to shoot in self-defense.
Who knows though man.
-
Vendors shouldnt be voicing their opinions.
But I need to get to post 50.
I feel that cases like this and many other ones like it are just distractions. Distracting us from the real issues like our freedoms and privacy being stripped away from us.

maybe not 50 murders, but july 4th weekend there were 74 shootings, with 3 or 4 fatalities
there was a reason concealed carry passed in ILLinois in spite of the legistlature's being democrapic - passed with enough votes to override Gov Quinn's veto - crime is way up in the utopia of democrats
-
NOt surprising at all. The prosecution didnt have much of a case and the defense did a good job. Manslaughter was really the only chaance.
-
This is the kind of bullshit American tele-topic that drives me to drugs in the first place. Who gives a fuck???!!! I, too, am responding in order to get to 50 but still not stooping to posting simple fucking spam.

I followed this one pretty closely - the case was all about race politics - had to charge him even if there wasn't any evidence he was guilty - even the detective investigating the case said on the stand he found zimmerman's version credible
the police chief of sanford was forced to resign cause he wouldn't charge zimmerman without the necessary evidence -
and the national media made it about race when they conveniently left out verbage from their reporting of his 911 audio tape - they reported he said "I think he's black" referring to trayvon - they left out that the dispatcher had asked him, can you tell the individual's race?, and that was when he responded re martin's race
fwiw - think zimmerman the racist, the wannabe cop, whatever - this whole thing boils down to kids not having respect for adults or their elders - he's walking between buildings on his way to his father's house (where he doesn't ordinarily reside) and someone's watching him - the guy's a community watch officer, that's what he's supposed to do. I'd never think to or confront someone older than me the way martin did, when i was 17 - had he been taught NOT to be confrontational, he'd be alive - but NOT having been taught to be non-confrontational, he went fult tilt the other way - WHO IS THIS WHITE ASS CRACKER TO FOLLOW ME and he took it to zimmerman
and crawling my way to that magic 100

Jury did right.

absolute bullshit, classic case of the justice system not doing any justice whatsoever

not sure what facts or what trial you were watching
wait ....... you're right, damn the jury for not ignoring the facts and not voting how the liberal media portrayed this
-
Both where wrong in this instance zimmerman was a cunt cop wannabe and trayvon was a thug who brought skittles to a gun fight. Trayvon also started the fight, dumbass! All he had to do was keep walking home and this shit woulda never happened but he decided to confront zimmerman.
-
Prosecution should have gone for manslaughter, but tried to jump the shark as it was a national story. Zimmerman was guilty of overkill, could've shot Trayvon in the leg or ass then tossed the gun aside and waited for cops. What I would have done... scratch that! I would have never stuck my neck out and called cops like jackass did in the first place. Wouldn't of gotten taken down and mounted by a light weight 17 yr old either.

no you're right, I'm such a conventional American liberal; you clearly know me so well....a question was asked and others' opinions were welcomed, but ya let's go ahead and jump straight to crucifying the first person to disagree with how you feel
i personally hate the media as they choose what they want to cover and completely manipulate national headlines to garner the most attention and boost their ratings but in this instance, I can't see justifying no punishment at all because Zimmerman was quick to jump the trigger against a KID, who yes had his own troubles and didn't help matters by confronting Zimmerman, but just because he used drugs, dressed like a "thug", and was black, doesn't justify Zimmerman shooting Trayvon in my opinion (and no I'm neither Black or Latino)
but again, you prbly won't agree with that either 'tbart' so a warning to all those who might state an opinion contrary to 'tbart's', save your breath...

Media made the case about race for ratings
