I feel sorry for Him and His family the amount of stress society has put on this innocent man. I just pray people will leave it be and he can get on with life again.
After decades of being bombarded by a media that thinks Selma was last week, too many knee-jerk liberals assume without much thought (check that: without any thought) that, if someone with lighter skin shoots a person with darker skin, the guy with the lighter skin MUST have done it out of racial animus. What makes you guys hate Zimmerman with a passion is that there was no evidence -none- (beyond peoples' preconceived notions) that Zimmerman's motive was racial (and you looked foolish as a result.) That fact flies in the face of dearly held, life long beliefs - dearly held preconceptions not about darker skinned people, but of lighter skinned people. Sometimes race just doesn't enter into it. Did/does Zimmerman have a racial animus against people with darker skin than his? I don't know, BUT NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE BUT GEORGE ZIMMERMAN. Anyone who claims to know that Zimmerman is a racist (based on what we know about him at the present time) is a bigot every bit as guilty of prejudice as an unreconstructed Dixiecrat.
I have no idea if the piece of garbage is a bigot or not. I don't care. I never cared.
I've lived long enough to know that pieces of human sewage like Zimmy generally get their just desserts at some point. My prediction, and I'm rarely wrong about these things, is that Georgy will put a gun in his mouth at some point and blow that tiny little brain out the back of his fat head. Being the piece of trash he is, he just might try to take someone with him. Let's hope not.
Are you really naïve enough to believe that guilty people are convicted 100% of the time?
Of course not. But as a nation not of men but of laws, we have to let juries determine what is and isn't true. The jury didn't say he was innocent; they said he was not provably guilty. We have to accept that. (And it isn't as if the guilty aren't wrongly acquitted -that happens every day.)

Well, then maybe he should stop doing stupid stuff that brings attention to himself.
How many times have you been stopped for speeding in the last month and a half?
Would someone be a champ and remind me of all the right-wingers here who urged everyone to reserve judgment on Jerry Sandusky until his case had been adjudicated? Ditto for Bradley Manning.
I'd still like someone to explain to me how she was convicted of perjury and George wasn't. Weren't they BOTH misrepresenting the amount of money he had available for bail? They only asked her? It doesn't make sense.
I imagine his excuse was that while he was in the jug he had no access to the financial records and depended on his wife for a truthful accounting. Besides, the court wouldn't ask him anyway: He was inside and really didn't have access to the bank statements.

He was stopped twice for speeding---meaning he's been speeding a lot more than that. It would seem like a guy in his position would try to avoid any more entanglements with the law. His behavior is bizarre.
