This trial wasn't about who was wrong, or who was right. It was about finding the truth, and moving forward.

Yes, because legalizing alcohol has folks drunk in the streets everywhere, right? If folks want to use, they will do so whether it's legal or not.

Did Zimmerman receive those injuries from Martin or not? I felt the prosecution and the defense both proved that point fairly well during the trial - that Martin inflicted injury upon Zimmerman.

Same here.

Its not a stupid talking point. Its fact! Its a very valid argument. You want someone to be thrown in prison on no evidence?? What a sad day in America when this happens.
This case didn't need any light. There was no injustice other than what the MSM tried to fabricate. This case deserved as much light as Kim and and Kanye's baby.

I didn't say there was any riots. I said threats of riots.
The first line of your post is stricly YOUR opinin. Parents not getting adequate answers about their 17 yeard old son's murder/death, went about it "wrong" because you say so? Now that's rich. All one has to do is to see how badly the Sanford PD handled forensic evidence, to comprehend that TM"s parents had a valid gripe with the way things were playing out.

Someone else's butt is always easier to smack. Who are you to decide that the only living actual eyewitness is above reproach? Zimmerman lied over and over again and no one can understand why, so sell someone else your audacious bias.

For awhile, that Precious glob was the greatest actress ever known to mankind. Heck, they even learned to pronounce her name. Then poof, she was forgotten, like yesterday's bowel movement.

One would think with all the honors heaped on 'Precious', they and Diamond/DeeDee would consider it an honor!
What do you think of Zimmerman's physical appearance now? Also a "glob"?

Or would YOU as a human being with the means to stop the attacker using whatever was available to you to save your own life?

C'mon.....be sincere in your answer.

Same here. Trayvon will not die in vain.

A question I have asked many times - with no real answers.

Wow, I would never put Zimmerman in the same category as Salman Rushdie. What an insult to Rushdie.

I see what you're saying but I believe that Karma always gets hers in the end. That will have to be enough for me when it comes to the Zimmerman case.
