I agreeThis is the only verdict that could be reached if you went by the letter of the law exactly.
And thus, the correct verdict.This is the only verdict that could be reached if you went by the letter of the law exactly.
Teach your children not to swing on complete strangers and they'll probably be okay.All I can say is, keep your kids in the house. Precedent has been set for them to be legally stalked and killed. What a terrifying world we live in.

When did Trayvon Martin commit assault? He was not the one aggressively stalking someone and causing said person to feel like there was an imminent threat, which is the definition of assault.Teach your kids not to assault someone with a gun.
When he slammed GZ's head into a concrete sidewalk.When did Trayvon Martin commit assault? He was not the one aggressively stalking someone and causing said person to feel like there was an imminent threat, which is the definition of assault.
Assault is not battery.
Way to totally not understand the legal system. You think klling dogs should be ok then? Hmmm. Seems like you've been spending too much time on twitter with the mindless black racists.America...A country where you go to jail for killing dogs and shooting yourself in the leg but not for killing a teenager in cold blood.
This is not a place to troll.^ Did I say anything about it being legal to kill dogs? I never said anything about the legality of anything. I was just stating a fact.
If you think it is ok to stalk teenagers with a gun and then kill them when you are getting your ass kicked then there is something wrong with you. The minute GZ left his car he was the aggressor. But yeah..law...rabble rabble....oh yeah reverse race card...blam!
Four minutes. He had four minutes to go theWhen did Trayvon Martin commit assault? He was not the one aggressively stalking someone and causing said person to feel like there was an imminent threat, which is the definition of assault.
Please explain this 4 minutes? Seriously. What 4 minute time frame are you speaking about? If one goes looking for confrontation and finds it, I have no sympathy for them. What was TM guilty of that gave GZ the right to chase after him? You think GZ would have been doing the same thing if that gun was not in his back waist band...or was it his side..no wait is was in the front...yeah I am sure he would have been doing it with some pepper spray also.Four minutes. He had four minutes to go thehome, call 911 himself, or simply not assault George Zimmerman.
Fouring minutes of being free to take whatever peaceful action he deemed necessary to figure the situation out, but he decided that violence was the answer, like so many who subscribe to his lifestyle.
They almost always get away. Between 10 and 15% of burglaries are ever cleared, which means the rest get away. If citizens got more involved in their communities, maybe we would catch some of theseing punks.
Accused with little to no evidence? Yeahlooks like GZ is the new casey anthony
You were not paying attention or willfully ignored the facts about the lack of evidence. Do you only watch MSNBC or CNN? If yes, then you would have been gravely misinformed about this case.I'm actually surprised by the verdict, I didn't think the jury would not have a biased opinion about GZ. I totally thought this was going to end up in a guilty verdict.
He already sued NBC.So I haven't followed this closely so please someone help me out. I read on another site where they were saying that GZ should sue NBC now. What did NBC say that he should sue them? Thx.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/george-zimmerman-jury-adjourns-verdict/storyNew?id=19645098#.UeIcHY1JNVMPlease explain this 4 minutes? Seriously. What 4 minute time frame are you speaking about?
Chased? Confronted? It doesn't make any sense. He couldn't have chased him for four minutes. The distances don't allow for that. He was probably offended by Zimmerman "mad-dogging" him or whatever stupid bullshit he believed, and decided to lay him out on the sidewalk and teach that "cracka" a lesson.But one of the most dramatic moments of O'Mara's closing argument occurred when the attorney looked at his watch and instructed everybody in the court room to remain still.
The clock kept ticking for what seemed like an interminable length while jurors, the judge, the parents of Zimmerman and Martin stared at the defense table as silence befell the courtroom and O'Mara sat down.
Four minutes later, O'Mara stood up and indicated the purpose of his demonstrative inaction.
"That's how long Trayvon Martin had to run," said O'Mara pointing out the length of time from when Zimmerman told the police dispatcher that he saw the teenager running to the moment he and Zimmerman began the lethal confrontation. "The person who decided this was going to be a violent event was the person who planned his move."
Pathetic.John Guy, who got the last word, scoffed at O'Mara's suggestion that Martin had four minutes to go home, but instead confronted Zimmerman.
"Four minutes is not the amount of time that Trayvon Martin had to walk home," said Guy. "Four minutes is the amount of time Trayvon Martin had left on this earth."
Hopefully he wins his suit against NBC and can pay for 24/7 security and a new house.Dude is definitely gonna sleep with 1 eye open from now on
Until he loses a wrongful death lawsuit.Hopefully he wins his suit against NBC and can pay for 24/7 security and a new house.
West and O'Mara will be seeking immunity from civil suits. They believe very strongly they can get it.Until he loses a wrongful death lawsuit.
Someone has their exaggeration hat on.Why would you bother with security when you can just slap on the red headband and rambo it up. look at me wrong? bitch please im in fear for my life -machine guns-
When responding to Spokker you have to remember the fact that he has an obsession with black people only rivaled by your average /b thread.Please explain this 4 minutes? Seriously.

I didn't think the murder 2 charge would stick, but I actually thought he'd get a couple of years for manslaughter. If you rob a house, and the person inside dies of a heart attack from your break-in, you can be convicted of manslaughter. And all these events did happen because he stalked a black kid.I work in an office and most of the people I work with seemed to think it was going to come back with a not guilty verdict. I work with a mix of race and gender in my unit and they were watching the case on a daily basis so I guess this wont be a surprise to them. Is this a surprise to you all?
If he had been convicted of manslaughter in this case, and the jury did consider it, he would have gotten 30 years minimum.I didn't think the murder 2 charge would stick, but I actually thought he'd get a couple of years for manslaughter.
Not even close to stalking. None of the evidence supports stalking.And all these events did happen because he stalked a black kid.
Someone has their exaggeration hat on.
My general consensus about this entire case lies in my belief that unless you are certain your intervention is required you keep to yourself. Once you inject yourself into a situation, especially one that may end up in confrontation the idea of self defense becomes very murky to me. Add to that, carrying a gun into these situations only makes me less sympathetic if you end up shooting someone. Race really is not the issue for me here. My issue is if GZ stays in his car TM is not dead. To me, that is GZ fault and the fact he is not held accountable for this is an issue for me.Who knows what really happenend? Not me or anyone else not there. So it's fruitless to act like we do. Those who are 100% adament he is guilty do not do so out of facts or evidence, but more bias in some form or another.
Kitty Genovese says hi.My general consensus about this entire case lies in my belief that unless you are certain your intervention is required you keep to yourself.
Yeah perfectly valid point. I like where you ignore that part where I say you still should intervene when needed or the fact the Kitty Genovese case was found to be extremely inaccurate in the accounts of bystanders ignoring her murder. But this is the shit you guys like to argue with. Everyone on this site does the right thing all the time and shits rainbows in the process.Kitty Genovese says hi.
