That is what the guys who beat Rodney King thought. Plus King got 3.8 million in a lawsuit.
The guys who beat Rodney King were acting under color of law in their capacity as police officers. The guys who beat Rodney King never alleged self-defense. Rodney King got 3.8 million from a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles for negligent employment. Florida has a specific statute that provides for immunity from civil lawsuits when there is a successful self defense.
Any more questions?
Which is why they will probably file in a Federal Court.
Florida is fucking nuts.
Why do people keep calling Zimmerman a racist?
That's okay, payback will come at the mid-terms next year.Finally justice for George Zimmerman.
Fuck all of you people who maliciously twisted this into a race issue. All you goddamned racebaiters and haters who wouldn't step the fuck back and listen to the facts. No, you assholes were incredibly fucking emotional and racist. Last year you assholes kept clinging to lies and nastily maligning George WHEN YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED.
And FUCK YOU, media! You bastards rushed to judgment because you wanted to tar and feather the white hispanic who defended his life against a black punk. Fuck you assholes for jumping in and rushing to conclusions.
You wouldn't fucking listen to all the facts. Damn you MSNBC and asswipes like Al Sharpton.
Maybe... MAYBE next time you won't get so goddamned unfair and emotional and show us all your hateful, racist sides. And fuck you President Obama for interjecting yourself into this and stirring up anger and hatred. You bastards didn't want justice. You wanted vengeance against the evil non-black man.
YOU MADE THIS INTO A RACE ISSUE. THAT'S ON YOU. IF YOU'RE SAD TOO BAD. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.
Just remember all the shit you certain people stirred up. Thank God the jury had the brains, the guts, and the willingness to see justice through.
The GOP will pay for this decision, with their jobs.
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.
that one can be pursued by an armed private citizen, absent any evidence of wrongdoing, even in the context of racial profiling,
Yup, you can follow people, even if they're black.
False. And ridiculous, even for you.It was proven in Court that Zimmerman is not racist.
Zimmerman mentored young black students.
Zimmerman took a young black girl to one of his proms.
Zimmerman has black friends.
On Thursday, the Justice Department released a report showing that George Zimmerman, a Florida neighborhood watch guard who is being charged with second degree murder for shooting 17-year-old Travyon Martin while on duty, is not racist.
The report reveals over 30 interviews showing that the Zimmerman is not racist, an argument held strong by prosecutors in charging him with the killing of Martin, an African-American.
FBI agents asked each of the interviewees whether Zimmerman "displayed any bias, prejudice or irrational attitude against any class of citizen, religious, racial, gender or ethnic groups,". The report showed that none of the 30 plus interviewees answered affirmative to show of any bias.
Maybe you are projecting your hurt feelings ?
You're dumber than I first thought. Why would I have hurt feelings?
I'll take that as a compliment. Maybe you have not accepted Obama's total defeat of the the massive Republican effort to make Obama a one term President. Maybe you think this trial ,that affects no one, is hurting liberals the way Obama has hurt you?
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.
Made what abundantly clear?
Personally, I think that if the law allows it, you should be able to have a gun for home defense and defense of a business.
Carrying guns in the streets is a fool errand, regardless of what the law is..in my opinion.
It was tried in the wild west with disastrous results.
And every country where there is abundance of guns..there are an abundance of death by guns.
Blacks should arm themselves anyway---whitey is evil 10 or 20 of em with lots of ammo
not to put too fine a point on it yet every time someone is killed it is murder.
No it's not. That's ridiculous.
yes it is murder just means getting killed. whether it is justified or not is the question.
hey genius I live in Florida most people here are from up north
Don't try to confuse them with facts and logic. Just point and laugh. If they were capable of rational thought, they wouldn't be liberals.
it's better than being a bigot like you.
He's as innocent as OJ and the cop who beat the shit out of Rodney King.Really? For what???A innocent man was found innocent in somehow this has to do with the gop!
Enjoy this while you can. This is your GOP swan song. Come next years mid-terms, you fuckers are toast!
The cons all believed that OJ was guilty when he walked, but now the tables have turned and they are supporting Zimmerman?
Seems they respect the jury verdict when it suits them.

In Florida?
You bet.
So I take it that you were wrong, justice prevailed, in the case of OJ Simpson?
Give me a fucking break.
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 juryTrayvon was a black boythere 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?
The Hispanic is described as a "black Hispanic".. juror B 29
Stalking, is now federal?
Civil rights? I'm not seeing a case, why do you make this statement?
Excuse me? USA Today - 1 hour ago
Civil rights leaders seek new charges against Zimmerman
Angry civil rights groups on Sunday were pressing for new criminal charges following George Zimmerman's acquittal on second-degree murder and manslaughter in a Florida courtroom.
The NAACP website featured an online petition asking the Justice Department to bring federal charges against Zimmerman in the February 2012 fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin.
"The most fundamental of civil rights the right to life was violated the night George Zimmerman stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin," the petition says. "We ask that the Department of Justice file civil rights (criminal) charges against Mr. Zimmerman for this egregious violation."

George Zimmerman is a rock star, and Hispanics are now honorary whites. Your numbers just got readjusted!

Yup, you can follow people, even if they're black.
And once armed..they can turn around and shoot that person in the face.
Claim it was self defense..and go on Hannity to say it was "God's Will".
