What's so nice about it? You don't even know what really happened. He and Martin only know.

The only info that you have is what the media GAVE YOU.


Most of you convicted the guy once you saw he wasn't black. He never had a chance.

Just shaking my head at these people. According to Angela corey, she does not prosecute because of the media and did not make this decision lightly. I suppose interviewing witnesses and evidence was all for show. People think they know everything when in fact, we know nothing about the forensic evidence, autopsy, GZ's medical records, ballastic report etc. The Zimmerman supporters are still thinking they can determine the outcome of this case based on his testimony alone.
They dont care about GZ. They wanted a message sent to *they*. They are still hoping for that message so thats why they will keep wishing for injustice in this case.

Surely you must be talking about a different case.

Confidence has a way of disappearing when you are facing even the slight chance of spending life in prison.

No........ if more evidence comes out that he is a murderer, then throw the book at him

But, will you change your tune if he is found not guilty?

On the internet you can claim what ever race you want. We know people on here who do it to then blast the race they are claiming to be.

Of course, he is a white gun owner. He could have emptied a full magazine into the kid while shouting the n word and he would still have legions of defenders.

In fact to some people of the more deranged white power variety, he would get more support if they knew that he killed a black child in cold blood and was only using the self defense angle as a cover story.

If Zimmerman were black, I would feel the same way, you are incorrect. If your unarmed son, who has no history of violence was killed on his way back from the store, would you brush it off and simply accept the police explanation because the guy who killed him (and has every reason to lie) said it was in self-defense, after he left his vehicle with a loaded gun in his holster to follow your son?

And it would have been a high percentage.

I think it was Martin who was threatened and who was murdered while standing his ground in self-defense.
