George Zimmerman trial
 

I'm just curious to see if anyone has been following this trial. I tried to watch as much as I could, just missed a few days of it.

What's your verdict?

*Guilty of 2nd degree murder

*Guilty of manslaughter

*Not guilty

In my opinion, the state did not meet their burden of proof.

Not guilty, media hype galore.

Well that's what my personal opinion is currently. But I do support our jury system, and whatever they decide goes. There was a good article about this on yahoo today:

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

I agree.

This case was intensified by the media classifying Zimmerman as white, then showing pictures of Trayvon Martin of when he was around 11 years old and repeatedly calling him a small boy and child, even though he was 17 and far from being a child as evident from his school problems and drug use.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

Zimmerman is innocent.

I work at a convenient store. I know these types of teens that try to pick up fights just because they think they are invincible. I was close to slapping the crap out of some of them. They think they are grown men.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

soon as you let go of your composure then you sink to their level. That's why its best to just walk away and let them throw feces at each other. Or bananas, which ever suits best.

George Zimmerman is innocent, and if they convict him is to stop the "New Black Panther" party from starting shit.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

I don't like where this thread is headed and it NEEDS to be closed. At the end of the day a 17 year old CHILD lost his life, please be mindful of that before you go on your rants about working at a convenience store and your experiences there, people throwing ''feces or bananas'' (whatever THAT means) and so on. I just don't think that SOME members here have the mental capacity to have an intelligent debate on this trial without being indirectly rude or offensive.

Butt hurt? You have to respect people's opinion. You shouldn't be commenting if you only want to see people agreeing with you.

Neo wins that post...lol...

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

innocent.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

In general sense, this is wrong. People have stupid opinions, and you shouldn't support those who believe in outrages things (aliens, propaganda and ... creationist).

On topic, I believe both party is at fault, maybe manslaughter...

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

Oh god, this child again with his "this offends me, please close it down" it seems like every time something about blacks and whites comes up you get butthurt.. Just an observation I've made..

Either way, I know what kind of kid trayvon is, he fucked with the wrong guy and got laid out... Zimmerman is not guilty.. I feel bad for the guy cause he was set free until the Afro 'Merico community rallied up and then they arrested and charged him..

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

Guilty or not, his fate are on the hands of those six jurors.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

Child? Around 6ft with tattoos? Who smokes marijuana? Isn't the legal age to smoke 18?
It doesn't matter if they have stupid opinions. You still have to respect it.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

i have a question.. dont be offended by it... but does anyone know there are african americans that believe that zimmerman is innocent??

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

Not really. The ones I know think Zimmerman is guilty.

They asked me if I think Zimmerman is guilty or not. I just said Zimmerman is guilty because that's what they want to hear. I do think that Zimmerman is innocent, no doubt.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

My feelings, I think Zimmerman is a punk who wanted to play the part of a cop, got way in over his head and had to kill Trayvon once it was too late. Not saying Trayvon was an angel and was probably also a punk, but being one is not a crime and certainly doesn't deserve the death penalty.

How will it turn out? My hope is at least guilty of manslaughter, but knowing white people, he'll probably either walk or at best a hung jury.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

i think itll be a hung jury... but i think he's innocent

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

Hes not innocent this man will rot in jail

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

He is innocent.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

Guilty of killing a person...

I don't really care for the race factors, prejudice or any other justifications. The act of justifying murder is just wrong to me. Unless it was something extreme like an armed robber breaking into your house or a girl in danger of being raped, etc...

"Self defence" when Trevon did not have a gun is not good enough imo.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

why because he took action towards another human being when told the police not too? Because the other guy beat him up? Well no shit you're gonna get beat up if youre stalking someone with a gun when told by the police not to engage.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

wheres the proof that zimmerman confronted him first?

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

a person is perfectly capable of killing another person without an aid of a weapon.. if someones starts banging your head on the ground... you would def feel your life is in danger.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

True but Zimmerman clearly had enough "strength" to shoot the kid... He was not getting hopelessly beaten to death. The bruising from the pictures on the media are too light to suspect such situation.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

These "kids" act like grown men. He had the choice to go home but rather had the audacity to confront the vigilante.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

The fact that he did not listen to the cops is enough. Would you like to talk about absence of evidence is not evidence of absence?

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

This is a matter of survival. If your life is in danger, you will do whatever it takes to survive. It is human nature. You obviously don't know whats out there on the streets. Thugs think they own the streets until they meet someone who ends their life.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

Exactly Martin should have been carrying a taser

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

exactly.. and the kid wasnt a saint as his friends believe... the mom said during the trial that he had two praying hands as a tattoo on his shoulder... why is that even relevant to the case... theyre trying to portray him as a good kid... i guess they didnt see the pictures later released from martin's phone.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

He carried a screwdriver and women jewelry while in school.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

If he was a kid, he would have walking with an adult.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

And Zimmerman is a racist person who often time called the police on black people. Not to mention the FACT the the police reported him calling these people "cons" and taking action even when told NOT confront the person.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

They were most likely the only ones causing trouble.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

most likely so you're not even sure

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

Let me make another point. There has been a lot of incidents where the cops make traffic stops and they shoot the person just because they reach to their pockets. The cops instantly think their life is in danger. There was one incident that happened recently and it involved a military/marine person who was stopped by cops and shot because of the same reason. How is this not considered life threatening if it went beyond? This went up a level into the physical altercation.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

Yes but Zimmerman was not a cop. Literally some guard who calls cops on random black people

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

That's not my point. My point is that if your life is in danger, you will do whatever it takes to survive. I am not just talking about this case but also the basic needs such as shelter, water and food.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

And why was his life in danger in the first place? he didn't listen to the 9/11 operators and knowing something could happened decided to stalk him.

Re: George Zimmerman trial
 

Cops will never tell you to take action because of legal concerns. For example if they said to engage then they would get sued. Let me choke you, break your nose and slam your head against concrete and reach for your gun and tell me if you'd shoot me or you'd sit there and get shot with your own gun. Zimmermans life was in danger so he did the only thing he could; neutralize the attacker.

Trayvon is a punk who tried his MMA moves on the wrong motherfucker.
