Zimmerman Verdict

[Goat Blower]

Martin did attack him, that's why he got off, self defense.

The correct verdict was made.

That is the way our judicial system works.

And this.


Those are my thoughts.

1) He got as fair of trial as anyone else would have gotten. To say it fails is just ignorant. It's the lawyer's job to convince the jury beyond a reasonable doubt one way or another and the state/prosecution did not do that. Doesn't matter one bit what anyone else besides that jury thinks about which side made their case better.


2) Mexican shoots black man, White people get blamed. Makes perfect sense!


3) Obama saying that could have been him 20 years ago. WOW. That could be enough content for it's own seperate thread there.

To say "He got as fair of trial as anyone else would have gotten" leaves me for the most part speechless. You can't really believe that?

Think "agenda" and it all makes sense. Only problem for O Inc. is they didn't look before they leaped.

What exactly leaves you speechless? I guess I'm a bit confused. The cards were stacked against him for sure, but it ultimately comes down to the jury.

Either way, IMO the right decision was made. Piece of shit little drug using hood rat gets busted snooping around a gated community in the middle of the night, then when he gets followed he gets assaultive. Gets his ass shot out of self defense.

I think "stacked against him" would be an understatement. Even the judge hearing the case did everything she could to assist in the prosecution of Zimmerman.

Here's a great video showng a lot of the details that were purposely left out of the trial in the courtroom and out of the trial by the media.

I suggest everybody watch this all the way through.
