Zimmerman: Not Guilty

**GrimmReaper** · 07-13-2013, 08:07 PM

What do you guys think?

I don't normally watch trials but I watched a good deal of this one.

**GrimmReaper** · 07-13-2013, 08:09 PM

Based on the trial and evidence I couldn't agree more with the verdict.

**Lunk1** · 07-13-2013, 08:11 PM

Not guilty but I'm afraid they may convict him of something due to politics.

**GrimmReaper** · 07-13-2013, 08:16 PM

I was thinking the same tho, politics/bs defiantly was an influencer...

It's the only reason there was a trial in the first place.

Agreed, waste of taxpayers valuable money.

It is all over CNN and HLN.

**GrimmReaper** · 07-13-2013, 08:15 PM

He is off the hook, verdict in.

**Lunk1** · 07-13-2013, 08:17 PM

Just read that. Thats the only RIGHT verdict~!

**Euroholic** · 07-13-2013, 08:18 PM

Whos zimmerman?

**ppwc1985** · 07-13-2013, 08:20 PM

Idc either way but from what I understand when he called 911 they told him to quit following the kid. He should have and the kid would be alive. He pushed the situation, and then when getting his ass kicked he protected himself. He should have not pushed the situation. IMO.

You can clearly hear him agree to stop following when the 911 operator told him to. Following someone does not justify them breaking your nose and slamming your head into the concrete.

That's what he said but not what he did. I'm not saying that he murdered him he was protecting himself but he pushed it. As far as following, you follow me I'm gonna give you a chance to explain yourself if you can't than I'm gonna protect myself. Who knows what was going through the kids mind we will never know.

**austinite** · 07-13-2013, 08:20 PM

Any footage? Can't find anything.

**Rusty11** · 07-13-2013, 08:24 PM

Quick deliberation. Good. I can't wait to watch the morons on CNN. Hopefully, no riots.

Shocking: NAACP is calling for an investigation for civil rights violations.

I'm very glad with the jury decision

**ChiveOn** · 07-13-2013, 08:39 PM

LOL! The post office is losing their SHIT right now! As the only white guy I'm staying out of it entirely

**crazy mike** · 07-13-2013, 08:40 PM

I am happy with the verdict. Plain and simple, the charges were overboard. This was not murder in the sense of law. ...crazy mike

Looks like frank zane.

**skaz915** · 07-13-2013, 08:59 PM

I heard on the radio that the verdict would be a major stepping stone for the African American cultural. Those are almost the exact words of the radio host. I am wondering why this is, I don't understand the meanin behind this statement.

I'm not being racist at all, there have been other victims in crimes that have been African American as well I'm wondering why this one is different

Let someone follow u in the dark and see what you do. Nobody was there to say if trevon jumped him or George started it and lost.
Either way the kid wasnt doing shit wrong and ended up dead because of Zimmerman s actions. End of story

What, he wasn't caught doing anything YET. Maybe he wasn't up to anything. So you are a black male , with a hood, in the dark, where he wasn't really where one would be or any hooded man and that's not fishy. Just a little cause to watch and follow. In the beginning, not after instructed to stop. My point you don't know Travon wasn't up to no good....crazy mike

A lot of assumption and personal belief in your post but very litte fact. You ASSUME the kid wasn't doing anything wrong and you BELIEVE Zimmermans actions were the cause of death.

If all he did was follow the kid for a bit calling 911 and got physically assaulted for it, that makes it Zimmermans fault. Would you appreciate if your neighbors called 911 and reported suspicious activity around your residence especially in a high crime area? I would.

agreed....man followings me in the dark....im not asking questions

more than likely if someones following u at night...the intent isnt good...

even if trevon did "start" it IMO it would be justified as being threatened and defending himself

There is no evidence or hint he was or was planning to do something wrong
Yea zimmerman or my neighbor can call 911. But why follow him on foot, esoecially if he thought he was some dangerous guy in a hood. Call 911 and stay safe in your locked car.
Oh no he was a want a be with a gun, got his ass handed to him and killed the kid. All he had to do was stay in his car

There is equally NO evidence he WASNT doing something wrong. Its easy to Monday morning QB and say if he did this or that or suggest your opinion of how he should have done it but....the bottom line is that he did nothing to justify the assault and had every right to protect himself including the use of deadly force.

For the record, I agree that he had a wanna be complex and it put him in this position. That still doesn't mean he committed a crime or should have been on trial OR would have been anything but innocent.

You are in Florida, how much further South can you be lol?

**Cuz** · 07-13-2013, 09:13 PM

I didn't know the whole story. all I know is that the boy is dead and the other guy is free? I didn't study up on the case enough to make an accurate presumption on whether or not the verdict was correct, which would only be an opinion any...

**austinite** · 07-13-2013, 09:14 PM

That's one part I never could make sense of. Why did he follow the kid?

**Lunk1** · 07-13-2013, 09:18 PM

He stated he thought the kids activities were suspicious and called 911. he then followed giving current location and description to the 911 operator. The operator told him to stop following and he acknowledged the operators order.

Lets not forget the little fact that he was on the Neighborhood watch program and that is what he was supposed to be doing....

I had to stop listening to the trail at the beginning because these STUPID expert witnesses where infuriating me. Stupid B*tch saying she did not think the trauma to his head were to the degree he should be in fear for his life. I would like to jump her and see at what point when her head is being banged on the ground she would be fearful for her life. Just stupid.

BTW, I'm happy with the verdict. I'm furious it ever went to trail and people cant see the facts for what they are. Travon was a punk as kid who sold guns on facebook, got expelled from school for controlled substances, bragged how he liked to fight and was seen ducking behind houses, not staying to the main path.

What history in his past or reason did Zimmerman have to be aggressive? None.
What was Travons reason? Remember being 17? Enough said.

Ive been jn the situation in clubs and hit with bottles ive never fekt justified to kill the other guy

Not everyone is as tough as you.

But seriosly, everyone has different limitations and ability to defend themselves and ever situation is different. Plenty of people who are unarmed kill other people every day.

I mean seriously? There is an average of 5 African Americans killed on a daily basis by other African Americans in my city alone, but these groups don't give a rats azz but this case they wanna riot? Am I missing something here?

Did you really expect any less?
