This sad case where everyone including the taxpayers of the state of Florida lost "big time."

No we lost when the media started their bullshit and the politicians was using that "Treyvon Gold" to give their election campaign some juice. If you heard GZ's lawyer final parting words last night, at the press conference. That was exactly how I saw it.

Sir I could not agree with you more!

Thanks Captain for the video links. Completely agree with O'Mara. From NBC editing the 911 call to make GZ sound racist, to the media simply following a narrative that was racially charged instead of following facts, it's a miracle that the trial went the way it did.

That cunt Jesse Jackson should have taken MLKjr's bullet. The world would be a far better place.

Good thing there aren't any racists around here.

Perish the thought.

If there were any such here, they would be celebrating that one can profile a guy, confront him while armed, and escape punishment. No one would express such a sentiment here!

Profiling and confronting are not crimes, so feel free to celebrate.

I apologize: I forgot to add "confront him while armed, kill him, ..." and so on.

(I hope I did not rain on anyone's racegasm.)

We should also celebrate a justice system that didn't get held hostage by racist like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. There must have been incredible pressure to serve Zimmerman up on a plate, especially after Obama called Trayvon his son. Still the jury did its job and relied on facts, not emotion driven narrative, and we all know the right verdict was given. The system still works.

And Trayvon was punching Zimmerman in the face and bashing his head into the ground, on top of Zimmerman and preventing his escape. You kind of left that out, too.

Hey BalloonHead.
Are we on speaking terms yet?

You can stop right there....

Thats the only way one can arrive at the conclusion OP reached. Today alone, I changed the minds of FIVE people simply by showing them the pics of George Zimmerman with injuries and explaining that while he was a minor, Trayvon Martin was 6" taller than Zimmerman. None of the five was aware of either of those facts.

But yeah, lets not let facts and logic get in the way of things.

I want to say something snarky here...so I will.

You wouldn't know an internet troll if it bit you in the ass.

There was a guy on a site I've been on for years who constantly was calling people the N word, and consistently dropping out racist statements.

After about six years of posting back and forth I met the dude.

He was black.

Obliviousness is your forte, correct?

Yeah great, did you show them pics of the skinny black kid on that day? Here ya go:

This dead kid doesn't LOOK like the sort you'd ordinarily expect to be on top of a wannabe cop who took Mixed Martial Arts training. But I guess you never know, Trayvon was probably high on Angel-Dust Skittles, makes 'em CRAZY strong and fearless.

ohomen171 says

I feel that the way Florida wrote its definition of self defense tied the hands of the jury and left them with no option but to find Zimmerman not guilty.

This is a sad case where everyone including the taxpayers of the state of Florida lost "big time."

My father had some words of wisdom that apply here as follows: "Son a gun will get you into more trouble than it will ever get you out of."

clearly you are wrong when you see all the cases where a homeowner was defending his home from criminals.

you will find 100s of example by searching ..

"Home owner shoots intruder or burglar."

Appropriate since we have no idea how Zimmerman provoked this (other than the stalking part). But anyone who knows a lot about teenagers and their behavior relative to adults, knows that Zimmerman very likely provoked if not instigated the fight. Yeah, I know. His hands weren't scraped up. That doesn't mean that he didn't push him or threaten him, or maybe pull some aikido (or other martial arts moves) on him. We just don't know. But we do know GZ is a stupid asshole, who was trying to feel like a man in some extremely fucked up ways.

"these assholes always get away"

Wtf ? Zimmerman is the asshole. Off the charts piece of work, tracking down a kid, who does not even look like a ganbanger or thug. He looks like a kid, that's all, period. Albeit, a dead kid, in the picture. Just a kid trying to get home. Only a world class racist prick could see anything else.

But hey, keep convincing yourself that you aren't a racist just looking for a rationale as to why what it was okay for GZ to murder Trayvon.
