They hate latinos "because there are too many of those immigrants" even though they were immigrants to america themselves. They hate muslims of all colors. They hate everybody. They value non-white lives cheap. Those extremists have got to go, and that is happening by the process of demographics, praise The Lord.
Who is this magical "they" you keep talking about in your special little broken English?

Early on Zimmerman's own testimony showed he made one bad decision after another. In one part of his story, he was very afraid because Martin was circling his car in a menacing manner and then walked off. If that is true, why didn't Zimmerman just stay in his car or drive away instead of grabbing his gun and getting out of the car. Arrogant, wannabe cop bad decision #1.

Zimmerman said Martin asked him if he had a problem. Why didn't Zimmerman identify himself as the neighborhood watch guy. I'd be threatened by some strange guy coming up on me asking me what I was doing in the area. Zimmerman was there because he was in a position of authority, and should have used it responsibly. Arrogant, wannabe cop bad decision #2. Who knows how many more will come out.

The State has listed three experts who say the screams on the tape were Martin's screams, and one says he can tell what Martin is saying. I am sure the defense has experts saying the opposite. It will depend on who the jury believes and what they think they hear on the tapes.

While it will come out that Zimmerman had done good things for the community, based on his actions and comments about Sanford police, his abuse, and his actions the night he shot Martin, his own arrogance caused Martin's death.

You have a jury in Sanford, Florida where there are a lot of racial tensions. This case should have been brought, not because of racism, but because a young man, black or white, was dead at the hands of a neighborhood watch guy who made one bad decision after another. The family wanted their son's murderer brought to trial. They have always said all they have wanted was to have this brought to a jury.

I hope he's convicted. I am a gun owner, and I clearly part ways with my conservative listmates with this.

Ah ok, I could have sworn you were trying to imply that white people were all racist given your statements.

Yes, both. Here are a couple of links about it which don't contain a lot of legaleze.

He's innocent, so he'll be acquitted.

How can you possibly know that? You have not yet heard the State's case.

It's "its"....

Reading comprehension problems?

Clearly the poster is talking about racist bigots when using the word "they."
