I just haven't followed the trial at all and I wasn't privvy to any of court transcrips, haven't listened to the 911 call or any of those details either. Hard to have an opinon based on hearsay.

Again, someone with a rational thought. If you browse around the net and read the uninformed judgements you will understand what I mean.

Prosecution shot themselves in the foot by tacking on the manslaughter charge as a last ditch attempt to save their case. They essentially admitted they didn't eliminate reasonable doubt by doing that.

Zimmerman should be charged and found guilty of being a dumbass for following the kid. He has now set a precedent : if you follow someone and they are scared enough to defend themselves, you can shoot them and it's ok.

The trial was televised. Just because someone doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean they are uninformed. Everyone filters differently.

Unless someone was able to watch every single moment of the trial their judgment would indeed be uninformed.
Additionally, though I thought he would do time, I have no presumption of his innocence or guilt nor have I expressed as such.

Sometimes it's justified, sometimes it goes down like this or or reported from a different angle and makes one go hmmmmmmm.

Not guilty does not equal innocent. Regardless of the verdict, Zimmerman shares blame in what happened that night. I guess his punishment is having to live with that. It seems like another case of Florida prosecutors overcharging, IMO.

George Zimmerman was and is a complete ****ing pinhead... The minute the police told that bozo to stay put and not "follow" Martin He is guilty in my opinion... if he wasn't a ****ing cowboy, the kid would be alive.

I think the "stand your ground" law needs to get reworked.... I can go and instigate some **** and if I feel that I'm in danger, I can blast someone and call it self dense.

I knew months ago that Zimmerman would walk.

I just hope that riots don't break out.

Mrs. Chow was doing some cleaning in front of our place and a neighbor from a couple units over came out and started talking to her and said that the smells from our house "reminded her of her Grandmother's".... at first Mrs. Chow was taken back, wondering if the catbox needed to get changed more often....

She asked if we cook a lot of Italian food. Mrs. Chow said "actually we do."

The neighbor asked Mrs. Chow if she was "professionally" trained.

Mrs. Chow laughed and shook her head and said, "No, no. We do watch Food Network," and grinned.

The neighbor said, "Well, you've got a gift. My husband always comes homes and after passing your place says, "Damn, now I'm hungry."



The husband had mentioned smelling our cooking before and said that he sometimes wrote restaurant reviews. We're not sure what all they do. We do know he teaches music, and she may too because they're both hauling around the same kind of "luggage." At first we thought they may have been flight attendants. Anyways.....
