The government controls what is on television?

Seriously?

If that were true, why is FOX still on the air?

I am proud of the jury because I figured they would be scared to find him not guilty
this is a no win for everyone this kid need not have died
but the evidence showed that Martian was the aggressor the state failed to prove its case because they had NO case
and I hope George Zimmerman sues the crap out of MSNBC CNN and all the ass holes who put out his personal information
SS number or anything else he can think of and also sure Al Sharpton for defamation
he has a good lawyer and I hope he get rich suing these sons of *******!! every frigging one of them
maybe there is some hope after all

Even George Zimmerman is attending the ribbon cutting ceremony.

If he was a little boy then why didn't he enter the townhouse and call the police? Why didn't he call the police?

He seemed to be adult enough to stalk Zimmerman, punch him in the nose, and to then attempt murder. How much more "adult" can you get in the context of this case?

Only ignorant people assume the NAACP speaks for AA's. Intelligent people know otherwise.

SalMAN Rushdie. And what's he got to do with this case? Sorry, don't see the connection.

A jury of his peers finds that Zimmerman did do the right thing. Had they not they would have convicted him beyond a reasonable doubt.

You just cant accept that.

Yes, George, while the thug was pounding his head into the concrete, should have said, "Now Trev my man, I'm the adult here and I suggest you stop trying to kill me so that I don't have to off you to save my life"

the defense brought up a good point Martian had 4 minutes to leave and go home but he did not
why did HE not call 911 if he felt threatened?? he did not
if George Zimmerman tracked this kid down to kill him then way did he call 911??
get real here

In 1955, Emmett Till's mother made this profound statement: "Two months ago I had a nice apartment in Chicago. I had a good job. I had a son. When something happened to the Negroes in the South I said, 'That's their business, not mine.' Now I know how wrong I was. The murder of my son has shown me that what happens to any of us, anywhere in the world, had better be the business of us all!!!"
