The Zimmerman Verdict
 

I'm surprised no one created a thread about this yet. As you may or may not no, George Zimmerman, the man responsible for the death of 17 year-old Treyvon Martin, without facing any charges. With the amount of substantial evidence directed against Zimmerman's acquittal, Zimmerman was found not guilty of his death without any charges for homicide or manslaughter. Personally, I disagree with the verdict. I'd like to know your personal opinions on this.

Le discuss.

Meanwhile a 15 year old boy gets shot in the ghetto and no one gives a damn.

Its all media based. Giving a picture of George Zimmerman to make him look bad and then one on the victim who is about 9 or 10 idk to make the child look innocent. When you look at his current pics, he has ones of him smoking and stuff so I think this case should just get over with since the man felt threatened and by state law he had the authority to shoot. I would vote not guilty to after seeing pictures of how the kid looked at 17 and what he was doing(Drugs.).

Regardless of the verdict, he's gonna get shot. So I couldn't care less.

Something's going to happen to him

I think he shot him in self defense that's about it really

The media hyped it up to make $$$
**** the system.

I completely agree with the verdict.

The law states that if there is reasonable doubt then he shouldn't be convicted. The jury concluded that there was reasonable doubt and that he probably was innocent, so they did their job in following the law.

If you disagree with Zimmerman's acquittal, then don't direct your disapproval at the jury or the verdict itself. Instead focus on the law and getting it changed at the root, otherwise the outcome you didn't like it only going to continue to occur.

I think this post sums up my opinion on the actual verdict.

This tells it all,don't walk around bein' a black guy..

It was obviously about race. And don't bring up the marijuana,a lot of teenagers smoke,that has nothing to do with it,marijuana doesn't make you insane..

The media ate it up from a racial perspective, but it's highly debatable whether or not racial motives drove the actual confrontation.

Okay this is ignorant,ending a young boys life,and you would vote not guilty. That's cold. Over pictures of him smoking.. If he was caught smoking,or had pictures of him smoking,then don't you think he shouldn't have such a harsh punishment? Maybe a little time behind bars. But death? You're crazy man..

I think its racist to automatically assume its about race simply because the guy was black.

I agree with mattkan's post.

This isn't about Martin smoking or doing drugs, this is about him jumping a man and attacking him.

Because they grew some sense. I agree It's debatable..But be honest,if Trayvon was white,Zimmerman probably wouldn't have seen him as a 'threat' if you look at it like that.

Well I didn't hear about that..

It's the world we live in,well think what you want,I'm sticking with my thoughts on this Verdict.

/unsubbed

That's a really big assumption to make. Zimmerman's lawyers presented evidence that he had been friendly towards African Americans in the past and had shown the complete opposite of racism on many occasions.

What? That's what this whole case is about.

zimmermans gonna get his ass handed to him.

Mlk jr would be so proud

I don't think you know much about this case.

Well, I believe the case itself is a bit too sensitive for the general public. Too much misinformation, lies, and mutated statements. Imagine the internet playing a game of telephone, there are more than 7 billion people in the world, but only a few of them have access to credible information. How many slight changes to a statement, or misunderstood "broad spectrum answers" does it take before it is completely devoid of facts?


^^P.S My whole paragraph was very broad, not giving a direct answer on my allegiance. If you assumed I held some sort of standing, well then, I am very sorry to say you already might have been tricked by the slur of these that can be found in the trial. I am in fact neutral on the situation and further awaiting new facts even though the verdict has been set.

Sorry for the odd language, working on a fan fiction. XD

lol, who has time for facts in this day and age?

Zimmerman was a fatass lard at the time he shot Trayvon Martin. He should've sat on him instead.

It makes you do questionable actions kid. Get your facts straight before you say things.

'Murica.. I hate the "Stand Your Own Ground" Law..

these two sum it up for me

I find it ironic how Zimmerman accused Trey of stealing guns. Yet in the end, Zimmerman shot Trey.

Innocen people get killed every day, Why is this case so important? Oh wait, for once it wasn't a black kid killing a black kid, a mexican guy killed a black kid! Now it's important to the media! This case pisses me off, I don't give a **** about the verdict, just the whole idea about how people die everyday because of crap like this and nothing ever gets done.

it's not even that, it's just that people see the name "zimmerman" and think he's white. then it turns into white vs black, which the media loves because ignorant dumbasses around the US eat that **** up.

Thats not a American issue thats your avg human issue



News is boring so media has to get creative to get people to watch. Different groups use cases like these to push personal agendas. Media does it for the money, politicians use it as an example to argue gun control laws and the ncaap uses it to stay relevant. Same thing happens every time some crazy fool shoots up a school

It's not Zimmerman I'm worried about, it's the innocent Mexicans that could get dragged into the dispute for no other reason then being Mexican. TBH I think this is all stupid.

pretty sure the average idiot who thinks zimmerman's head should be hung also thinks that he's white

idk what Mexicans have to do with it

listen up America leave the innocent Mexicans alone
