I guess we could have outsourced the Jury from China, prob would have been more fair

His defense had to accept the jurors, right? I'm a mother of sons, and could potentially identify strongly with TM's mother. There was one non-whitey, a female whom reporters speculate was Hispanic (like me).

Really wasn't impressed with his Defense, it was pretty dismal and they lost a slam dunk case by the facts, imho

People can speculate all they want, but we know that Zimmerman had a gun with him and we know someone was shot at his hands. Other than that, we don't know shit unfortunately. WE know heresay but without unadulterated video we can't be sure how it happened, but take away the gun or Zimmerman and we don't have a case or tragedy. Take away Martin and we have nothing close to the same as taking Zimmerman out of the equation, imo Zimmerman could have killed any black guy he thought was being shady, but Martin wasn't out stalking people in cars...

If GZ is to be believed, there still may have been a tragedy. How many times can your head impact concrete before lasting damage/death occurs?

If GZ hadn't gotten out of his car and followed or confronted someone he wouldn't have had to worry about his soft matter!!!
Walking, no matter how the FUCK YOU look is not a crime and shouldn't be enforced by civilians.

Would you follow someone and disobey the 911 operator? Why did he do it? Cause he wanted to be friendly to Martin?? Hardly, he had vindictiveness and violence on his mind, GZ did that is!!

If this was the case, did GZ have stitches to put his head back together or did he have a bloody head or hospital visits?? If GZ was close to being beaten to death, might we have seen those pics of the damage?

(a) The person against whom the defensive force was used was in the process of unlawfully and forcefully entering, or had unlawfully and forcibly entered, a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle, or if that person had removed or was attempting to remove another against that person’s will from the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle; and

(b) The person or persons sought to be removed is a child or grandchild, or is otherwise in the lawful custody or under the lawful guardianship of, the person against whom the defensive force is used; or
(c) The person who uses defensive force is engaged in an unlawful activity or is using the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle to further an unlawful activity; or

(b) “Residence” means a dwelling in which a person resides either temporarily or permanently or is visiting as an invited guest.
(c) “Vehicle” means a conveyance of any kind, whether or not motorized, which is designed to transport people or property.

they basically say that if you're feeling threatened you can use deadly force. nothing else really matters. I would recommend everyone start packing if you plan on going to Florida or any state with a "stand your ground law". What used to be a home invasion clause is now full on wild west gunfight at the ok corral.

It's wild that you can instigate something and then claim standing your ground as a defense. TReating people the way you wanna be treated would have saved GZ a long life of hiding and feeling like a douche.

Only one who can say for sure what happened is zimmerman and if he really did act unnecessarily he will have to live with the guilt of that forever.
