Zimmerman not guilty...

[jstep13]

 

[hoodonit00]

did he have the gun on him or did he run to his car?

What difference does that make? Probably a good thing he had a gun on him

 

[JAWS]

Kid was armed with skittles, dont ever underestimate an armed american when free candy is on offer,and the jury must all have a sweettooth too !

At least try and add something to the discussion.

 

[hoodonit00]

But you simplified things a bit to much...

Zimmerman should have stayed by his car sure... But if his neighborhood was getting robbed a lot and I can see being upset..

Following someone is not a crime.

Beating someone up is.

Florida Law says you can stand your ground and protect yourself.

Zimmerman got the snot knocked out of him.

Martin got shot.

If you watched the case at all there was not enough to convict him.. The prosecution witnesses looked like witnesses for the defendant.

All the evidence seemed to point to Zimmerman's story being true.

The Press tuned this into a case that really should have been not even a blip on the radar but they tried making it about race. Some even tried calling Zimmerman a "white" Hispanic.

I hope the media learns something from this.. But they didn't with the Duke Lacrosse team so I sure they wont with this.

Well put!!!

2 punches....wheres the limit,he initiated it by putting a gun in his belt leaving his house and going looking for someone to prove his masculinity against.......i would be with you if trevon pulled his pants down and started really demasculating this fat boy......but he did no such thing.....a bloody nose?

If you think you are being followed on a dark night you don't have to turn around and beat the crap out of someone..

Where do you get two punches from... I thought there was not really any witnesses.

There are photos of Zimmerman's head cut open and nose broke..

I don't really have any stake in this case, nor any bias...but I don't know...if someone was following you for a while, and you have the ability to fight, eh...flight or fight kind of thing.

Just don't follow people, and no one on either side will get hurt.

I love how people think all cops are super duper trained. Look up some cop videos on youtube. You will see things that will make you shake your head.

It's late at night.. Mods are asleep.. We got six more hours of this....Weeeeeeeeeeee!!

I hope the media learns something from this..

That you can get boatloads of money when millions of people watch supposedly legitimate journalists engaging in round the clock coverage of some court case that barely warrants a passing mention in the grand scheme of things? Oh, I think they learned their lesson quite well. Just a matter of time before CNN and the others completely Nancy Gracify themselves. It's what the people want.

i fought all my friends at one stage or another its no big deal a broke nose hurts for one day, its soon forgotten,guy wants to be some kind of vigilante seems par for the course, but guns do make men out of mice

Martin hit Zimmerman in the nose and broke it, then proceeded to get on top of Zimmerman and continue to hit him and smash his head on the concrete, more than once. Martin was not unarmed, he used the concrete as his weapon. If someone would have slammed my head into the concrete even once I would have looked at that as they clearly have an intent to kill me or at least cause me severe bodily harm and would have done the exact same thing that Zimmerman did. Justice was served tonight.

There is truth to that... No doubt.. I had no stake in the case either other then how the media handled it.

But like I said I agree don't follow people...

On the other hand if you think you are being followed does not mean turn around and fight..

What the F ever happened to talking and communicating. Probably could have saved a life and saved the tax payers a lot of money.

I swear this just happened to me about an hour ago. I was on my way home from the movies. The same vehicle followed me almost the whole way home. Pulled into my same development. I actually didn't go home, went up a couple streets and doubled back when they turned. I didn't lay in wait for them. I know these things happen sometime. If I felt I was being followed I would have called the police. Martin had a phone. Instead of calling his girlfriend he should have called the police.

And now Zimmerman will make hundreds of thousands of dollars letting a ghost writer pen a book about this and selling the rights for a movie.

Unfortunately you are right.

 

[hoodonit00]

Not at the tragedy of course but for people buying the "little angel" bit

There will be a civil trial now. Just like the O.J. case.
