The time for demonstrating is OVER!!

The man has been arrested, tried and found NOT GUILTY. Don't you get that?

There can be no double jeopardy or another trial just because of this mob mentality and media circus.

If you watched the entire trial, please show me how it was not a fair trial. Show me the evidence that should have or could have convicted him BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT.

All you have done is convicted him in your own mind based on your own biased prejudice.

The only thing Zimmerman is guilty of is not being black.
How many black teens have been murdered by other blacks?
Where is the outrage for them?

he was found not guilty of second degree murder and manslaughter,
in criminal court

dj only means they cant bring THOSE charges again in another criminal court

there are other courts and other ways of holding Z accountable for the unarmed minors death

I already typed out the evidence that convinced 'beyond a doubt' that he followed and accosted this boy,,,,others just would rather believe the boy was armed with a concrete slab just because the armed adult hit his head on the ground,,,


all others have done is find him not guilty in their minds because of their own biases about what a 'good and watchful citizen' he probably is,,,....

this has been explained, over and over and over again

perhaps because you are not part of a black family, or black community , you are unaware of reality

the reality is there is OUTRAGE all year long in black communities about crime,,and people in those communities are all year long trying to implement programs and procedures to reduce those numbers

the reality is the OUTRAGE in this case wasnt about the fact that 'another black teen' is dead,, but the fact that NOTHING Was being done about his death

in those 'black on black' teens cases,, that is rarely if ever an issue,, you can pretty much GUARANTEE the law will prosecute those teens who kill each other,,,

msharmony, now you are making a straw-man argument.

Plenty of people have criticized Zimmerman for being a cop-wannabe.

Plenty of people have criticized Zimmerman for refusing to follow the 911 police operator's instruction for Zimmerman to not follow Martin.

Plenty of people have criticized Zimmerman for calling 911 because he prejudged Martin.

Yet, those same people acknowledge that Zimmerman shot Martin because Zimmerman feared for his safety. That is why they agree with the verdict.

At the same time, a person can want justice for Martin that doesn't involve Zimmerman being sent to prison.

As I see it, Zimmerman should be held legally accountable for calling 911 to make a false claim, because Zimmerman implied that Martin was doing something wrong.

By the way, I have yet to meet a person who was completely free of bias. So, when you* point a finger at someone and cry, "Bias!", three fingers are pointed back at you*.

(*I use the word "you" in a general sense.)

"By the way, I have yet to meet a person who was completely free of bias. So, when you* point a finger at someone and cry, "Bias!", three fingers are pointed back at you*".

And that would include you? Who elected you as judge?

I am not the one who is claiming "bias".

Let ye,who are free of bias, cast the first stone,

That is my point. Another person accused others of bias, but is the accuser completely free of bias? I think not.

I live in a predominantly black community and work there also.
But I guess not being black "excludes" me from understanding SMH
There are many that don't end up with a conviction.
I never see rallies or protests for anything locally.
The reason this is an issue is because Sarpton saw an opportunity to make a race issue out of it.
I was even threatoned at work on Monday because of the verdict.
I'm still trying to figure that out. A Hispanic murders a black and let's blame and threaton the white man.

Just an excuse for the animals to pack and be stupid.

They don't like or think then they wanna kill and riot.

Pretty stupid

no one had to appoint me as judge for me to use judgement,,,

and I agree that every person will bring some bias/personal perspective of what 'facts' mean,, when presented with them

but the truth will be the truth regardless of the bias that may have been present in getting to it

and I believe the truth is this man profiled, stalked, and attempted to detain this unarmed boy until he finally exercised HIS RIGHT to defend HIMSELF,, which (Because the grown man couldn't fight his way out of a per bag, and because the boy could manage to break his nose) the stalker used to make a claim that there was some potentially deadly attack with CONCRETE that justified shooting the boy dead,,,,

in essence, his in ability to do more than lay his hands on someone and carry a gun , gave him legal justification to many to shoot the very person who needed to be defending their life from him,,

a slight interruption in the threat of danger T perceived was legally justified because T was able at some point to fight back,,,

now, I have some personal perception that leads me to the conclusion just as the jurors did,, but whichever one of us has it right will not change,,,,and one of the two stories is right,,,,

but,, as I keep saying (and it feels better each time I do),, Karma is a trip,,,,,

not ending up with a conviction is not the same as not being 'charged',,, and Im sure that those who end up without a conviction are few and in between,,,,,,

the reason its an issue, is because parents all over the country can picture THEIR MINOR Walking home from a store at night and having this situation with an armed adult who harasses and accosts him,, and then having that adult go free from legal culpability because the minor was able to break their nose in the altercation,,,,,

that's the ISSUE Here that impassions people,, a minor in a new area and an armed adult who was supposedly a 'watch captain',,,,ending up following and shooting this minor,,

that the ADULT isn't culpable for any number of things that would have deescalated the event and not lead to the death of an unarmed minor

in consntual sex, we hold the adult more accountable, even if the minor is consenting,,,,,,but in this case, we let the adult go free from penalty for shooting a minor dead just because the minor fought with them after being stalked and accosted,,,

the idea that the MINOR should be held responsible for that ADULTS misjudgment and harassment and eventual decision to murder,, is just preposterously unjust/sick,,,, to many of us,,,
