It's good to see at least a couple people do not blindly accept the story the mainstream media presents to its sheeple and use critical thinking to search for the absolute truth.
FLORIDA leads the nation in deadly hit and run, pedestrian deaths, motorcycle, and bicycle deaths. It is a banana republic.
yep, you got it. why? immigrants? have you seen the way colombians drive, in colombia? GOOGLE: MIAMI DADE BROWARD TRAFFIC FATALITIES ST. PATRICKS DAY. Did you hear about the woman running into a cabana at riverside hotel in ft. lauderdale, killing a woman 6 months pregnant, killing her passenger, and seriously injuring herself. rumer has it she was an illegal immigrant from cuba? GOOGLE: HIT AND RUN DEATHS BROWARD COUNTY. ( yep, we are #1 )
However you are a tad bit too diplomatic for my taste. I strongly believe that Zimmerman should face the death penalty. Society has to send a strong message that this kind of crime will never be tolerated.
He will never face the death penalty.. deserving or not. I would NOT be surprised if he got off.. I would be disappointed but not surprised. The way the law is written, its gonna be hard to convict this fellow of murder..
Although I agree with some of what you wrote in your post, it's not that way in all of Florida. For example, if you look at the FBI statistic for both Sanford and Cape Coral
Sanford, pop 53,000 - violent crime rating 6.
Cape Coral, pop 155,000 - violent crime rating 3.
In other words, a city with less than 1/3 the population has twice the crime.

Yes, the law has tripled the number of so-called justifiable homicides, but blame the NRA and Jeb Bush. I honestly don't think Zimmerman was thinking about this at all when he followed Traynor Martin. He profiled him, followed him, and shot a teenager to death because he's an overzealous, cop wannabe who never thought anyone would care this much. The police department is corrupt too. I've posted too much already, but I don't like all this FL bashing as if there aren't problems in other states. It's just too hot for me most of the time!
Zimmerman is I guess technically Hispanic, they say he speaks Spanish and resides in a swing state where Hispanics will be key. I'm betting he lets Holder handle this one.
Blacks will vote for him no matter what, why risk it?
According to his father (Zimmerman) has Black family members too!

Actually there's some pretty strong evidence against him. A good prosecutor can get a 1st degree conviction out of this if they do their homework.
Had Trayvon not been black- if it were me, would Zimmerman have had the cajones to go after me? Little does he know I'm armed and have been taught to kill by the military. An old white lady. He'd never see it coming from me if I had criminal inclinations. Why? Because I'm not black.

Wishful thinking...
I bet you a dime to a doughnut the prosecutor offers a PLEA of Man Slaughter.. I hope I am wrong but I think the odds favor such. It's gonna be hard to prove murder 1. Damn hard... and you risk letting the guy skate like OJ.. the prosecutor offers a PLEA.. man slaughter.. that's my bet.
