I trust our justice system....but I think it's important to remember, Trayvon Martin did not deserve to die either.
Sad situation all around - Zimmerman is going to have to live with killing a person when it could have been avoided had he heeded the police. And Trayvon Martin is still a kid who is dead.
I don't know. I don't think there is any celebration to be had though I think the verdict is fair.
Don West has huge BALLS!!! May have just become my hero
the lead hack in the fla. attorneys office is out there lauding the prosecutorial team. I am trying to understand why this is necessary?
do they do this all the time?
Martins Twitter feed reads as a parody of poor grammar and an even more impoverished vocabulary. There, hes a No Limit N-gga, girls he knows are bitches and hoes, and the primary extracurricular activity he immerses himself in is marijuana. The gold-teeth smile, the tattoos, the ten-day suspension from school, and all the rest appear as pathetic attempts to assert his virility. Yet, as his supporters point out, Trayvon also liked Skittles and Chuck E. Cheeses.
He was a 17 year old kid and like most 17 year olds stuck in the adolescent cool.
What's pathetic is losing sight of the fact that he was just a teen and he's dead and he can't defend himself or grow up. He can't become an adult and people are celebrating that. I doubt Zimmerman is celebrating that. In fact, I suspect that the act has had a far deeper affect on HIM as a person than on any of his "supporters".
Several other threads of the same topic weren't sufficient, thank you for posting this one. It's always good to see who has no class. A mans life was just spared while another will soon be forgotten.
I believe justice was carried out and it's a shame that that justice isn't met with the respect it deserves.
Zimmerman got off because the prosecution could not get around the fact that his story, though unlikely, was possible...therefore reasonable doubt exisited. It was all predictable. Now, everybody go home. There is nothing to see here....
How would anyone know if his story was "unlikely"?

You say sad situation all around but the verdict is fair. Florida always gets it wrong from Casey Anthony to George Zimmerman.
For whatever reasons these archane and obscure laws down there seem to benefit and even protect the killer and not the victim. I can't say the verdict is fair, it's disappointing and more.
Well what did we learn from all this? That if you decide to jump on someone and start beating the crap out of them, you might get shot and killed, and your killer will walk because he was justified shooting your stupid, violent ass.
Score one for justice.
The verdict didn't resolve the question of who attacked first. It only stated reasonable doubt.
Witnesses testimony established TM attacked GZ, and then the jurors agreed with the testimony. It's over, Martin was at fault for attacking Zimmerman, got himself shot and died. Lesson to be learned here is don't go fucking around thinking you can beat the shit out of whoever you want. You just might wind up dead.Well what did we learn from all this?

We totally hear you. And it's been said over an over an over again in this thread. This is a tragic event - we have talked about it at length, parent loss, everything, this has been hashed out for pages about the travesty of the event itself.
This was an event that was the catalyst for all of the political and other agendas. We didn't create it. I.... totally defended his mom many times.
Promise, it's not anything other than justice for a witch hunt and it's mainly about about the government.
It's not about the tragedy. We all recognize that.
This is a lose lose..
Other than the gubbamint lose - that's a win.

I am amazed and grateful for this verdict. At least in Florida it is still legal to protect yourself.
Martin’s Twitter feed reads as a parody of poor grammar and an even more impoverished vocabulary. There, he’s a “No Limit N-gga,” girls he knows are “bitches” and “hoes,” and the primary extracurricular activity he immerses himself in is marijuana. The gold-teeth smile, the tattoos, the ten-day suspension from school, and all the rest appear as pathetic attempts to assert his virility. Yet, as his supporters point out, Trayvon also liked Skittles and Chuck E. Cheese’s.

I doubt Zimmerman is celebrating that. In fact, I suspect that the act has had a far deeper affect on HIM as a person than on any of his "supporters" who are cheering the death of a boy who has been suitably demonized into a form that makes his death somehow justified.

That's our justice system for you. You don't have to prove your innocence, they have to prove your guilt. I know I know....how outdated is that, huh?
