Very well said.
That's not well said at all. How was he not a "sweet,innocent" and 17 year old boy? I'm sure some fucking moron like frank the yank will come accuse me of not watching enough cable news but this is ridiculous as anything said about trayvon is typical teenage behaviour .I just hope someone follows Zimmerman around, waits for him to react then stands their ground and murders him. It's legal after all.

Not only is one defined by ones friends but by ones enemies as well. If you call me a "moron", then I feel quite comfortable with that. One uses invective like that when one is losing/loses the argument.
I do wonder how much of the trial you, and everyone with our mindset, actually watched. Lets be honest, you swallowed the medias false narrative hook, line and sinker. This was a politically motivated case-plain and simple. The states attorney sacked the districts prosecutor and police chief after they did its investigations and refused to prosecute. The states witnesses were either complete train wrecks or they buttressed the defenses arguments. Keep in mind the accused doesnt have to prove a thing and doesnt even have to put on a case. A PROSECUTIONS witness claimed he saw Zimmerman on the bottom getting beated up. One thing I hadnt seen get much mention at all. When one of the detectives was interviewing Zimmerman he tried to bluff him as homicide investigators do-especially when they have fuck all. He told Zimmerman that he thinks they have video of the whole thing just to try to get a reaction. His reaction was, "I hope you have it all on video."
Now it pointless to go over some of the evidence when people just wish to believe their own/the medias narrative.
I feel VERY comfortable being on the opposite side of Al Sharpton. This is Duke lacrosse case Part 2.
I am certain all thsoe race hustlers and poverty pimps will be on the next flight to Chicago to protest the SCORES of young black people being slaughtered and maimed by illegal handguns. Oh wait that doesnt matter and its a subject they odnt wish to talk about. Its black people doing it to black people so its all OK then, isnt it????
Have to dash as I am off to the airport for a rather long trip to Bangkok. I am outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a wind up isn't it?BimboBob said:I'm not shocked he got off. It was a gated community. Mr Martin had no reason to be there.

dazdon said:The jury found him not guilty.
The accused wasn't white yet there is still a race furore.
If only there was as much of a reaction to OJ being found not guilty.
Race has yet again become a political football.
intheknow! said:This verdict really makes no sense. How could Zimmerman claim self defence or 'stand your ground' when HE was the attacker and instigator of the fracas? If anyone was 'standing his ground' or acting in self defence it was the now deceased Trayvon Martin. I can see how Zimmerman is not guilty of 2nd degree murder but to be found not guilty of manslaughter is unbelievable. Also the jury was made up of 6 women, five white and one latino. Why no men and more racially diverse people?

Yes he is white. He is a White Hispanic.
People are getting race and ethnicity confused.
Hispanic or Latino is NOT a race it's an ethnicity. There are Black Hispanics and White Hispanics.

This is another instance of not being fully informed about the case. Zimmerman was not the one who attacked trayvon in the first place. Sure the 911 operator advised him not to follow but Zimmerman was on the neighborhood watch and it was in no way illegal to follow him. The evidence says with witnesses backing it up that trayvon was on top of Zimmerman beating him up "ground and pound style" and similar to MMA. If you don't think Zimmerman should have followed him there was also no need for trayvon to act out that violently

He's a white hispanic because it fits the agenda at this given opportunity.
Or so it seems.

Hispanics are as persecuted in the US as black people are....hispanics are on the cusp of being recognised as a race.

Zimmerman isn't white by that definition he is Hispanic.
