The Official Zimmerman Trial Verdict Thread

[Pogo]

They made the edited tape to prove that Zimmerman was a racist.

And the link to this is... ?
Do I have to hold your hand and walk through everything?

You need a link? That link has been provided numerous times here. It's a fact pal. If you are going to discuss, try getting caught up on the facts before you waste all our time.

So that's it? Crickets? "It's a fact pal", that's it?

This proves my point-- y'all are all hung up on these wispy amorphous emotions and have no details. For all the wailing about the media, you're following them around like a puppy. They're selling the emotions of a soap opera; you're buying. Yawn.

And what may make a tragedy even more tragic is that this likely isn't over for Zimmerman.

The story now is that the DOJ will likely bring violation of civil rights charges against Zimmerman and, because of presumed wrongful death, that could include prison time up to and including life imprisonment or even the death penalty. The NAACP is pushing for that.

And, the Martins have allegedly received over a million dollars in contributions for the purpose of going after Zimmerman on their own civil wrongful death suit that could drain him of every asset he owns.

The only ace in the hole Zimmerman holds is an innocent verdict in the the criminal trial and that the evidence the judge wouldn't allow in the trial would be fair game from now on--the photos, the text messages and tweets, the marijuana and women's jewelry, the whole nine yards. If the Martins really want to preserve the reputation of their son, they will ask everybody to now drop it and move on.

qft

A lot of people still think Zimmerman killed a cherub.

Each new legal action is a chance to show who it was Zimmerman was actually dealing with.






p.s. I thought I'd heard that the feds already did an investigation for civil rights violations and found no grounds to charge him. Did I hear that wrong?

Zimmerman defended himself against a typical black street thug. The media is trying to spark violence as the black community typically wouldn't give a damn.

There hatred of whites is all this is about.

 

[Sallow]

Not here.

We are happy with our gun laws.

You guys have different laws.

I think black folks should take advantage of them.

While the courts may not provide the same sort of protection for them if the off a white guy that they think means them harm.

Prison is better then dead.

And if it's legal? You still have a shot.

I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts do not constitute the entirety of the Northern States.

And Maryland as much as we loathe to admit it, is a Southern State.

Pwned!!!!

By what? Exactly?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

In Southern states.

I am sure most of the pro-gun people would support that.

This has likely already been pointed out, but Martin would have been too young to legally carry a gun.

In Florida, at least, young black men need to understand that the Zimmerman verdict is now part of SYG jurisprudence, that one can be pursued by an armed private citizen, absent any evidence of wrongdoing, even in the context of racial profiling, where being black in certain neighborhoods means one is ‘in the wrong place.’

For black man aged 21 and older, yes, they need to take a concealed carry course and apply for a carry permit, and arm themselves accordingly.

 

[Sallow]

False. And ridiculous, even for you.

so the proof he is, is:___________________

Actually, the only thing that was proven in court was that GZ wasn't motivated by race in this case. That doesn't necessarily mean he isn't a racist.

Proven to whom?

White folks telling white folks it's not about race?

Pogo, will never admit there is a link, even if he has seen it a 1,000 times. It doesn't fit his agenda.

 

[Synthaholic]

It was proven in Court that Zimmerman is not racist.

False. And ridiculous, even for you.

It was not proven that Zimmerman is not a racist.

It's moronic to claim it was proven.

Unless the word proof has a new definition.

Put the glue down and get some fresh air.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Jesse Jackson, once again, proves he is a racist sexist.

"JACKSON: Well, it was a stretch, trying to avoid the obvious. There was no--you speak of jury of your peers: there was no man on the jury—Trayvon was a black boy—there was no man, no black on the jury. So at least the idea of jury of your peers was a stretch all the while."


The jury is for Zimmerman first of all not trayvon.
"there was no man, no black on the jury". So fucking what Jesse. Are white women incapable of understanding the law?

5 white woman, 1 Hispanic woman. BUT it is ok as he's part of the GRAND protected group. Evidence or reality doesn't matter to him.

That wasn't proven. It was claimed.

You know what I find appalling? That so many people are so callous about a kid getting shot to death because he didn't know exactly the right way to handle a situation. He was a kid, barely turned 17.

But he was a black kid, wasn't he? And I know without a doubt that's why so many of you just don't give a fuck about what happened to him.

You've profiled him in your minds just as Zimmerman profiled him on the streets that night. It MUST have been his fault. Those kind, they always cause trouble.

There will never be enough evidence to even suggest racism on G.Z. part.. There's a very long list of evidence to the contrary that wasn't appropriate in a CRIMINAL trial -- but will blow away a "civil rights" trial..

You are right.. The kid had a very naive view of "the right way to handle a situation".. He may end up savings the lives of 100s of other kids who will think and learn and get schooled properly by their parents. Or -- maybe the pot in his system clouded his judgement.

The rules are different aside outside the hood. One call to 911 and they would have TOLD HIM who exactly the "creepy ass cracker" was that was following him...

ACT like you belong there. Just like I'd act according to the rules of the hood where NOBODY watches the streets except for the gangs.

 

[TakeAStepBack]

Yes, only white people are racist.

Or is it hispanic?

I cant tell anymore. As long as it's not against the most violent demographic we have....

Yup, pointing and laughing like always.

 

[Foxfyre]

The evidence already was that this was not racially motivated. That makes a DOJ suit highly unlikely. It wold also be unpopular generally and would drag into the 2014 election.
So I dont think it will happen.

The NAACP however is pushing it. And that is could be sufficient reason for the DOJ to get involved. Whoever is running for election or re-election in 2014 will want those votes.

Wont happen. No grounds for a suit. Too divisive. The prosecutors already look bad here. They dont need more bad publicity.

But it would be different prosecutors, i.e. federal ones, who dealt with a civil rights action. The only way they won't do it is if they are a) certain they would lose more votes with such an action than they could lose votes by not bringing one, or b) could make themselves liable for harrassment and violating George Zimmerman's civil rights. But 'grounds' for an action has not factored into most of their decisions and activities thus far and there is no reason to believe they would not stretch the rules to the limit and beyond in a case like this too.

Your ignorance of the facts in the case are showing, to the surprise of absolutely no one.

So now you have a problem with "States" rights?

Not at all...I take umbrage at New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts being characterized as making up the entirety of the Northern States, which I think I made abundantly clear.

Black, white, green, red, brown, purple, yellow, orange.

North, South, East, West.

Red State, Blue State.

Urban, suburban, rural.

Rich, poor, middle class.

From purple mountains majesty, across the fruited plains, from sea to shining sea.

All encompassingly I support everyones right to arm themselves for the purpose of self defense and the defense of others wherever they may legally do so.


Is this in any way unclear.

To the people of earth. Your planet however, who knows what you guys hear.

 

[PixieStix]

For years, the liberals have tried without success, to convince us that because we are white, we must be racists.

Epic fail

They cannot see that they are the racists. If all they see is the race and not the action of a "person" regardless of race.

I doubt they would have ever stood up and cried crocodile tears if Trayvon had been white
