I just hope cooler heads prevail. It doesn't take many to cause chaos.

Well it is not sports and Zimmerman is not fully white, so they may stay on the porch and just shrug and say, life as always.
I am hoping at least. If riots in Minneapolis, Atlanta and Chicago happens, I will call family and hopefully my knucklehead nieces and nephews aren't involved.
Ive read a lot of ignorance about this trial. The case was investigate and the police felt theor was no evidence of a crime. The. Te mesia got involved and it forced the cops to try and convict without the evidence to support a conviction. It wasnt the police dragging their feet.
Zimmerman claims to get out of his car to check for w house number in order to tell the police where he is.
None of us know what happened. All we have is Zinmermans story which people are quick to not believe. If Zimmerman is telling the truth and there is no evidence to contradict what hea said, he simply cannot be convicted.

It's OVER 5,000!
What logical verdict could they have rendered other than "not guilty?" No way to argue beyond a reasonable doubt that it wasn't self-defense.

exactly. Only guilt GZ will have is going to be with him the rest of his life:
" I should not have gotten out of my vehicle"

That's one of like 3 reasons he claimed to leave the vehicle. He admitted on the effing 911 call that he was following Martin so there's no debate as to why he left his car. To follow Martin, not to locate a street sign or anything like that.

Yes. Why would he need to give an address when he told the dispatcher where to contact him? Zimmerman changed his story so many times not even his supporters can keep it straight.

Two thoughts I have from this case:
1. This country is so divided, it's not even funny. I know we all have differences. But, the divide is so great. Reading some things tonight, especially on Twitter, is troubling. I long for the day when this nation can be united, or at least the division to be closed. As long as the division is as wide as it is, this nation will continue down the road it's going.
2. The media in this country is full of morons.

We need a 3rd party in the bad way, but if attempted they would get silenced quickly from both sides. They have the power and we are just lemmings, well not me, since I hate both and won't vote for either, but you get the picture.

Here Gilesfan, care to explain how his SUV was parked on the street, but he somehow managed to walk behind someone's house trying to figure out where he was? Apparently in that community you have to go to a shared back yard to find a house address you have to get out of your car and walk behind their houses.
Your ignorance is adorable.

Make no mistake, Trayvon was shot while committing a crime. Trayvon and his family have no one but Trayvon to blame for him being dead. Regardless of whether Zimmerman disobeyed the 911 operator does not give someone the right to attack him. The fact that Trayvon attacked him tells me that Zimmerman was right to suspect him. This whole ordeal is further proof the racism of the black community. If Zimmerman was black and Trayvon a hispanic kid the black community would be on Zimmerman's side.

Well, he was found not guilty. I was just writing this:
I doubt that Zimmerman will be convicted of murder. I think it is reasonable to say that, the evidence being what it is, the charge was a stretch. I'm puzzled at the number of people who seem willing to excuse his behavior, or to act as if "not murder" somehow absolves him of responsibility for what happened. This guy took action that was ill-advised, irresponsible, and dangerous...and that's at best. He was the motive force behind the incident.

LOL what.
Trayvon was minding his own business, Zimmerman was being a nosy boy scout...
If Trayvon attacked him, it's because Zimmerman was being an idiot.

According to a guy who was on trial for his murder, and absent any other living person with direct knowledge of the incident.
The fact that Trayvon attacked him tells me that Zimmerman was right to suspect him.
Leaving aside for a second that "fact" is an interesting choice of words, when an armed adult creeps on a 16-year-old kid who is engaged in nothing more suspicious than transit from the 7-11 to his house, the fact that you're willing to not only absolve the adult of responsibility but dehumanize the primary victim is pretty stunning.
This whole ordeal is further proof the racism of the black community.
16-year-old makes a run to the store, gets profiled and ultimately killed by an armed adult acting on a misplaced and quite possibly racist assumption. Many people feel as if an injustice has occurred. Yes, this definitely proves that the black community is straight-up racist.
Again, the verdict is understandable, given the charge and the IMO obvious presence of reasonable doubt. That fact supports absolutely nothing that you've written.

Martin if he assaulted Zimmerman unprovoked deserves his portion of the blame. Unfortunately the only witness to the crime is dead. All the other eye witnesses counter each other's arguments. For all any of us know ZImmerman may have tried to pretend to be a cop and try to "arrest" Martin, we don't know. Only thing I do know is we're dealing with poor decisions, but the first poor decision was the adult stalking a child.
