Yes, and I followed that trial closely, and the evidence clearly supported a verdict in favor of George Zimmerman.

Trayvon Martin was the attacker and he had no just cause for it. That's what the evidence showed.

Zimmerman wasn't a pervert. He might be a dum@ss, but he doesn't appear to be a pervert.

Martin's parents failed him. They bare more responsibility for their sons dearth than Zimmerfool.

Zimmerturd may have been a bit overzealous due to the crime occurring in his neighborhood, but there is no proof he committed any crime. Sure, you may want to lock him up because you don't like him, but do you want to live in a nation that locks up people who aren't liked?

We have several wannabe Black Panthers on this board that champion violence outside of self-defense.

Words, flags, looks not to their liking will be met with fists/weapons according to them. Though I suspect their cyber barks are worse than their bites.

I noted early on that the prosecutor over charged and i wouldn't have found for murder. I most certainly would have a lesser charge.

No it didn't. We can assume we would have just ran if some pervert was following us but some are more defensive in their actions.

A grown man has no business creeping around following a teen boy home from the store.

Of course Zimmerman wouldn't own up to that. It was the vibe Trayvon got when he made his phone call.

I would be O.K. if my son told me he punched some pervert following him home from the store. In all reality we all would.

No, following a teen home while he walks back from the store is not a crime. I want people to mind their own friggen business.

There was no evidence that GZ was a pervert.

If TM suspected that, perhaps he was projecting, or he was a homophobe. You know, many of the biggest most vocal complainers re homosexuals are simply insecure in their own sexuality.

The evidence did in fact support GZ's version of the incident, i.e., that TM attacked GZ.

There was, however, considerable evidence (though not admissible at trial) that Trayvon was a wannabe gangsta who liked fighting.

And of course there was the Court officer who deleted messages and photos depicting drugs and guns from Trayvon Martin’s phone.

It boggles the mind that so many cling to the false narrative. Is the truth so difficult to face and or admit?

Some of you have so much invested in the false narrative. Its truly a shame.

That's because, contrary to what some think, it is not what really occurred. What he stated that transpired is not really the case. He shot him almost immediately.

Wait, so it's ok for Trayvon to have the vibe that Zimmerman, who Martin perceived to be a gay pervert, might do harm to his brother, but it's not ok for Zimmerman to have the vibe that Martin, who Zimmerman apparently didn't recognize as a resident, might be one of the thugs who has been victimizing his neighborhood?

Double standards much?

A grown man has no business creeping around following a teen boy home from the store.
But a neighborhood watch volunteer might have business following and reporting a suspicious character.
"Following" is not a crime. If the followee attacks the follower, he certainly may defend himself.







Obligatory disclaimer: Zimmie is still a moron.

Yes, I do have double standards where a 17 year old and an adult are concerned.

It's why we do not allow them to drink or vote.

I'm thinking you now wish you had thought your reply through a little better.

A double standard for a teen and an adult? Don't be silly, of course there is.
