My Take on the Whole Zimmerman thing
 

I have tried to stay out of all of the threads about Zimmerman this or Trayvon that as I have zero knowledge or understanding about the background or the people involved. I am not American.

All I know is what I have read in the last few days in newspaper articles. It's never even been mentioned in the inter national news here.

Anyway, at the risk of sounding like a fool..

Sounds to me like Zimmerman just got away with murder, no?

.........

Thanks for starting another Zimmerman topic.

Nope!.....

You are correct, 6 middle aged or older women with 25 children between them unanimously decided to let a murderer go free.

Our press is wonderful.

.

Interesting take.

Say, care for a swig of OJ?

Sure I love Orange Juice.

I just read in another thread
"there is no evidence that Zimmerman was not acting in self defence"
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You crazy yanks you

If Zimmerman thought a 17 year old could kill him with his bare hands, then he should have shot himself instead.

Zimmerwho?

Depends on how you view what happened. Some people think that Zimmerman was defending himself, while others believe Zimmerman chased the kid, confronted him, and killed him.

Either way it doesn't matter. Even if this stops here Zimmerman's life is over; No one will be remotely interested in hiring him. And this is just the start - there could be more charges, and then a civil case.

There is no question of if he murdered him. He did. The case was about whether he was justified in doing so.

Interesting; I figured you were intelligent enough to know the definition of murder.

All murderers are killers. Not all killers are murderers. There is a philosophical difference between the two.

He better invest life story money well

who will ever say 100% what happened there?

people can be stupid, the media controls the mind.

black teenager, skittles (innocent enough), latin police officer with hebrew family name... just turns in to a race fiasco out there in society and the media must know it.

Zimmerman wasnt a cop.

an almost all white jury of 6 middle aged women with 25 almost all white children.

I agree, but how wrong was he is my only concern. There was only two witnesses and one is dead.

So now it's a racial jury issue? Come on!

nothing about race here at all. why there was no black women on that jury.

i hear you.

What the fuck does the color of their skin have to do with anything? Are you a racist?

Yes, because the mother of a DUI casualty says "that bastard second degree manslaughtered my son."

Premeditated or not, it is murder as defined by most people.

If it's that big of a deal to you, replace with killed.

Either way, he died by the hands of Zimmerman.

i find a racially charged trial involving a dead black teenager having not one black juror to be extremely telling.

don't like being called racist, do you?

I find it telling the prosecution and the defense had no problem with it but you do.


.

and millions like me, yes.

Interesting that the racial profile in the OJ Simpson trial was 9 blacks 1 hispanic and 2 whites.

which makes that jury more racially dynamic than this one, incredibly.

And 12 people unanimously let OJ go free.

Face it, if Martin was white and Zimmerman was black most the people defending Zimmerman would be calling for his execution.

See the size of the 17 year old Kid, you claim.

At 17 I was a MAN, 5'9 170 lbs In the Army training for War.....

There is a Video and Photo of him minutes before the event unfolded...

The evidence shows that Zimmerman is unlikely to be a racist himself. But many of his supporters definitely are racists. You can see that in some of the comments and assumptions where they think Trayvon "was a thug" and that "it doesn't matter because he would have grown up to be a gang banger anyway" or that "he was probably looking to commit a robbery that night". Then there is the way his female friend was treated at the trial. There is a lot of subtle racism like this present around this case. It's very clear.

As one who followed the case closely Zimmerman lied and killed the kid. But unfortunately if you follow the law i would of had to find him not guilty as well. Was surprised when the jury came back as not guilty.

Defense and prosecution selected the jury!

I know numerous 17yr olds that would knock your ass clean the fuck out!
Kill your ass if they wanted to once that knock out punch puts your ass sound asleep on the concrete.
You're entitled to your opinion but try to make some fucking sense when you post.

I agree 100% with everything you said, but ?...

My post was a sarcastic response to the OP's initial post where he said "Sounds to me like Zimmerman just got away with murder, no?"

Hope it makes more sense now.


.

My apologies also.

Being called a racist by a moron amuses me. Especially one that is himself a racist. Why does the color of a jurors skin matter to you?

that would never happen around here.

zimmerman may have not been a police officer however if a proposal to local government or central government to give neighbourhood watch weapons, to arm them, was publicised there would be an enormous outcry. it could make first base, but a slim chance to make second.

seems to me what happened there was the perfect storm of potential controversy. so just how and why did zimmerman, his family, the memory of trayvon martin, and his family, have to be picked out by the mainstream media to be put through trial by media?
