His injuries were nowhere near life-threatening, but hey, if he felt his life was in danger, he technically did nothing wrong shooting the boy.

Technically Zimmerman did nothing wrong but...HE DID EVERYTHING WRONG.

Rest in peace, Trayvon. Earthly justice has been denied to but it can not be escaped in the afterlife.

And I am very good to people too. I wasn't smiling and cheering when the verdict came back. There truly are no winners here. G.Z will always have to look over his shoulder. He will always know he shot a person to death. Even though in his mind it was self defense, which is what I believe too. He will have to live with this for the rest of his life.

This was a case of self defense.

A young man is dead. Seventeen year olds are full of bravado doesn't mean he was a bad person. No one could ever convince me he deserved to be killed.

Tragedy for all indeed.

I am proud of the jury for being hard working and honest.

Seeing posts that NAACP is asking DOJ for Zimmerman to be charged with civil rights violation. Is there a case there?

How do you know people aren't upset about those deaths? The violence?

I know of many neighborhood protests about black on black violence. It just doesn't make the news, but that doesn't mean they don't happen and folks aren't outraged.

It was Zimmerman who did violence.
