I guess you were standing beside Zimmerman to know that he didn't reach for the gun when Martin approached? You don't know what happened... like bruteforce13 said, take Zimmerman's word for 100% accuracy.

Forget it dude, you obviously have a story in your head about what happened and you are sticking to it no matter what. No point in continuing really, I am not going to believe the story you are painting without evidence. Neither will the jury apparently.

2 things may now happen in Florida:
1....Zimmerman is getting his gun back, anybody that is black, do not approach him or startle him, get away from him as fast as possible. he could pull out his gun and shoot you and say he was threatened because of the trial. all black people should consider Zimmerman's state of mind now, he will have absolute immunity if he shoots you.
2....all black teens and as well as black men need to arm themselves in Florida, because there are wannabes out there, and they have been given permission, as well as instructive teaching on what to say, and how to act, when police come out and investigate the shooting of black people.

No i agree with the jury. They had no choice but to not convict. Zimmerman could be telling 100% truth or he could be lying through his teeth about things. But I will not say i believe he is 100% guilt free because i wasnt there so i dont know and his words aren't enough for me to say i think he is innocent. I vote not guilty but that doesn't mean i know he is innocent no one will ever know that but himself and TM.
I think BOTH did very stupid things that night but one wound up dead for it.
Anyways its over time to move on.edit on 15-7-2013 by bruteforce13 because: (no reason given)edit on 15-7-2013 by bruteforce13 because: (no reason given)

Michael Vick killed a dog = GUILTY?
IM SO LOST!
Casey Anthony = no $$$
George Zimmerman = a little more $$$ than Casey Anthony, but still not enough.
Michael Vick = LOT$$$$$
I hope that clarifies it for you.

So what? You are chasing boogeymen, and seeing racism where there is none. It is racist to state two black men robbed you now?
Never said anything about racism... only said that he shouldn't be "stereotyping" based on locality. Stereotyping individuals based on culture and locality is not racism. He took a few places and stated that most people there "will have you for lunch" because the person he responded to does not look like them. Not only that, but he may not even know the race of the person which he responded to. I'm not bringing up race other than saying that I'm black and got robbed by white people in response to him saying that people in Washington DC and other localities "will have you for lunch".
that is a court of public opinion and in our court system the accused is guilty until proven innocent and its up to the prosecution to erase reasonable doubt. there simply was not enough evidence to do that. i also do not believe the story according to zimmermans story but in this country we can not convict someone because we do not believe their story.

well, except for IRA's, home values and investment accounts during this recession. and over 5 million middle-class jobs going overseas so corporations could boost profits, and the people that have had to move out of their house due to their drinking water being contaminated by fracking, and college students seeing their school loan interest doubled...other than that.........

Al Sharpton???
Is that you?????
Give me a break, bro. Stop stoking the flames. You don't even have a basic understanding about what happened if you think this shooting wasn't justified.
Did you know that just 11 years ago Zimmerman took a black date to his prom???
WHAT A RACIST he is!

Well, that isn't an irresponsible and inflammatory sentiment.
I think people need to calm the hell down and let rationality back into the picture. One man is already dead, we don't need more.
