VERDICT!

We do need to work to get these "stand your ground" laws appealed. As a later post (I believe by Panda Hugger) said (in paraphrase), you can kill someone; they aren't there to dispute your version; you can claim self-defense and walk away.

And most of these laws (not sure in Florida) say you don't have to try to avoid a situation if you can.

So Zimmerman can follow Martin for blocks, kill him, and get declared "not guilty".

In the old days, a white woman could claim a black man flirted with her and that black man would get lynched... sound familiar here?

SP, no, we don't know exactly what happened when Z & Martin met. But we know Martin is dead and that there was no reason for it. If Z hadn't been so aggressive, carrying a gun he shouldn't have been carrying, following a young man he had no reason to follow - then Martin would still be alive.

Zimmerman, according to the jury, was following the law. So the law needs to be changed so future Zimmermans think twice.

Stand your ground did not apply here. It WAS classic self defense.

Are you saying a fellow woman would lie?

SP, no, we don't know exactly what happened when Z & Martin met. But we know Martin is dead and that there was no reason for it. If Z hadn't been so aggressive, carrying a gun he shouldn't have been carrying, following a young man he had no reason to follow - then Martin would still be alive.

You just contradicted yourself in the same sentence. First you claim we don't know what happened when they met, then you proceed to tell us what happened.

Zimmerman, according to the jury, was following the law. So the law needs to be changed so future Zimmermans think twice.

Funny that none of you think that future Martins should think twice.

At any rate, I'm done with this thread. Tired of the gloating by those who supported Zimmerman. Tired of the junk comments.

A dear friend of mine just died of cancer; there is more to life and death than forum jerks.

Darla, SP, Poet, et al - you know who you are - I'm not speaking of you, of course.

My mother-in-law died of cancer last month. Cancer sucks. Sorry for your loss.
 
Anyone that wanted zimmerman convicted have 1 or more of the following stances:

1) They do not believe/understand what reasonable doubt is

2) They believe that someone that didn't do anything illegal (following/getting out of the car) should go to jail for life

3) They believe that one does not have the right to defend themselves from another violently attacking them, when zimmerman had not done anything illegal
 
And I just heard on CNN complaints about stand your ground. It just goes to show how much misinformation is out about this case. Stand your ground had ZERO to do with this trial.
 
Dumbass NAACP says they want to eradicate stand your ground laws because of the verdict. LOL stand your ground had NOTHING to do with this verdict. Stand your ground would have been a pre-trial immunity hearing, zimmerman waived that. This was pure self defense law that is universal in every state.

Of course they were. If anyone could let Zimmerman go, after what we already know....racism is the only answer. And given Florida's piss poor track record, regarding race, it was par for the course.

Or the evidence? The same evidence the all woman jury saw?

Just pull up all your posts, there's not that many of them. But here's a sample:

Maybe the way liberals have TRASHED America drove him to it.

It's no secret that Obama the Kenyan Moslem wants to grab your guns and religion, he even admited it.

Lie-berals comitted mass Election Fraud Nov 6, that's the only way they could have gotten a so called win.

Most everybody in Obama Ghetto Chicago is armed but they hit a lot of bystanders because they shoot Ghetto style (side ways grip) when they shoot at each other.

These are the supproters Obama swapped your hard earned tax $ for Negro votes

Benghazi Boy will be impeached

The Negros are the biggest racists on the planet.

Time to cull OWEbamas Thugs

On the plus side, how many abortions go to OWEbama Baby Mamas?

And on and on, ad nauseum.
