Zimmerman Not Guilty

ad

I'm going to make it short and sweet. What do you all think about the trial as a whole and the outcome. I will give you my point of view once I get a few responses to the outcome. Batter Up!

I know right? This shows the kind of stand up guy Zimmerman is. He puts himself out for others. He did the neighborhood watch and it ended up bad, but he was putting himself out in the first place because the neighborhood had a rash of break-ins.

I think all of this attention on a bad case is definitely polarizing the hell out of us. I see a lot more white people giving up on race relations. I have no idea where we are heading but the recent path is not good. In the meantime I would like to shed light on another case.

It was a local issue that got blown up to the national level in order to distract from serious national issues, like the IRS abuse, NSA spying on Americans, Benghazi, anything the media can do to distract the public attention from what really matters is what they're doing. It was misrepresented by the media and made to be a white/black issue when it never was in the beginning. Heck Zimmerman is hispanic and Jewish, and went to the prom with a black girl, and taught black kids, but now the feds want to push it to a federal civil rights violation case even though he was found not guilty.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and think I went back into a time machine to the USSR, propaganda, border checks, and no rights at all. Talk about a 180 from back when I served in the army.

This is still being blown up from the Media for a few reasons. The DOJ would love to change the Florida ruling on stand your ground laws. They would also love to abolish the 2nd amendment on guns. But keep in mind do you realize how much money the media is raking in on advertising revenue for airtime during commercial breaks it's like the superbowl....

In short the Law states the prosecutor must prove beyound reasonable doubt that George was not acting in self defense, (Did not happen) or that he acted out of ill will, malice basically premeditated state of mind. That guy did not get out of his car knowing or wanting to kill that young man.

If you need a gun to survive an attack from a 17 year old, dont get out of your vehicle. Period
Or stay in your damn house and shoot anyone who comes in.
PS I have had my ass whooped much worse than that on more than one occasion (once by two cops while handcuffed) and never wished I had a gun
An ass whooping once and a while is character building and keeps you grounded in reality

If he had not initiated a confrontation with a GUN would he have to worry about his GUN being taken from him?
I own a gun and choose not to carry it but leave it at HOME to avoid situations JUST LIKE THIS
if you choose to carry a gun in public and leave your vehice to confront people without being law enforcement you INVITE situations like this.
Martin did not HAVE to fight.
Zimmerman did not HAVE to kill
Poor choices
I feel for both families, both victims of bad decisions
shouldnt be a race issue just tragic mistakes

My thoughts exactly. All those black ppl/liberals tryna make this a race thing is disgusting. Zimmerman (obviously out of shape and over weight) was being beaten by a young tall athletic teen... Said teen spots Zimmerman's gun and attempts to grab it while saying "you're gonna die tonight."

If killing him before he kills you isn't self defense, I don't know what is. But the teen was black, so all of a sudden it was a hate crime? Lol. So stupid.

I agree with you bud 100% on this post well written! I can't wait for this to be off my TV I am so tired of the media trying to get everyone all Amped up about this case. My addition to this is simple: IT'S OVER GO ON WITH YOUR LIFE>>> THE LAW CAN SUCK SOMETIMES SO GO MARCH ON CONGRESS!

FINALLY, SOMEBODY GETS IT!! Great post brother

This situation has infuriated me over the past few months that I could not wait for it to be over. I followed the case religiously to the point that i Dvr'd it. I was raised to respect all individuals no matter there race, creed or choices in life. I do not have a racist bone in my body and have many black people in my life that I care for greatly. This case though has opened my eyes to three things that I feel will make my views on this world change for my remaining days on this planet. First I have come to the conclusion that our media is nothing but a propaganda tool for our government to lead the sheep to slaughter. The way they handled this story was so one sided that it was completely obvious that they had one goal and that was to make this about race and to create the illusion this was a hate crime( get to this part in a minute). Secondly i am sick to my stomach with the way our elected officials used this for political posturing. We all should be saddened that a young man lost his life but to see our president make a statement days after the murder with not knowing what went on and say that if he had a son he would look like Trayvon. You have to be kidding me, of course he would but why not try to ease the situation. No he used it for his own agenda and that is sickening. Lastly this world with never be cleansed from racism. After watching, listening and talking to people I noticed one thing blatenly obvious. I noticed a lot of white people take the side of the prosecution but I noticed that almost all black people on social media, news and polotics were against the defense. What really opened my eyes was a YouTube channel that I watched which was made by a middle aged African American man that was pleading his case on why Zimmerman was innocent. I did not see one black person agree with him. A matter of fact the comments that were wrote were rude and ignorant to the point where he stopped responding. If i can find the video i will post it for everyone.This brings me to the hate crime I mentioned earlier. Now i read on cnn and yahoo we have civil rights activist( Jesse Jackson, Sharpton ect) including the NAACP demanding the United States Justice Department bring up Zimmerman on hate crime charges. I agree with everyone that both Zimmerman and Treyvon made terrible mistakes and this situation was avoidable. But this was not a hate crime. Why would Zimmerman call the police if he profiled him to kill him? He didn't shoot him because he was black. He shot him because he was getting his ass kicked and feared for his life. What upsets me is that with all the items I listed above that situations and cases like these are going to divide this country to the point that we will never be able to live in a bigot, racism free country. Things are only going to get worse.

Well said brother. It's really sad when you look at the big picture

chicoimpala's picture

I completely agree that the media loves to stoke the fire and put an extreme one sided spin on everything.
Not a hate crime at all
All the "hate crime" crap is out of control
If a gay man sexually assaulted you by grabbing you pkg, and u punched him you could probably be charged with a hate crime
Looks like its only safe to get in an altercation with someone who look and lives just like you do, or risk commiting a "hate crime"

Watched the whole thing. Didnt dissagree with much. White on Black racism sells papers and is a "Hot Topic". Just like how the papers only report dog bites when it is a "PIT BULL ATTACKS" story.
He did put a big spin on when he talked about the figures about Blacks robbing Whites at gunpoint VS Whites robbing Blacks at gunpoint. DOJ statistics put white on white crime at about 75% and Black on Black crimes at 85%. So much more likely to be victomised by your own race vs another race.
Plus who would go up to a group of blacks to rob them?........Nobody except another group of Blacks lol
Media is a HUGE part of the problem and has changed from villianizing Blacks for 100's of years in the media to now deamonizing Whites in the 90's and 2000's I will readily admit.
Racism from both sides is alive and well friends and the media DOES want it to continue

You can only wonder what is next for the media when this stops selling papers

LMFAO .... What nice objective anti jew observation from a KKK supporter ex-leader
we do not need any commerntary from any KKK "Grand Dragons" "emperial Wizzards" or "Grand Cyclops"
Thanks anyway. Many inner city and poorly educated blacks have a certain set of problems and racism against whites is one of them, but can anyone honestly wonder why?
Slavery
Jim Crow laws
BIggotry
Lynchings
Discrimination
being called Nigger from grown men driving by in trucks when you are a 10 year old boy walking alone ect.
I understand how the behavoir and image of many Blacks can earn them dislike and dissaprovial, but Blacks and Whites NEED to judge EVERYONE of Every race on an individual basis and maybe things will start getting better. Hate and finger pointing is useless. Slavery and stealing land from Natives and California and Texas from Mexico helped make America the GREAT country it is and we all now have to deal with the people we used to create the America we know today.

Honestly I turned it off when he sterted the Zionist talk. I do realize that the media promotes fear and negatively effects race relations. D Duke is no idiot and makes some good points. I will go back and watch the whole video. I am now guilty of being predijudice against D Duke lol. But I will go back and listen and probably agree with most brb

if someone follows me thru their neighborhood and does not just politely inquire what my buisness is there if they are concerned they may eventually end up with a beat down. if he realy wanted to prevent roberies.. take a photo of the kid for evidence and give it to the cops if a robbery occurs. That shit is what homeowners insurance is for. Much easier than defending a murder charge against an unarmed youth. I cannot think of a situation that I would intentionally put myself in with someone who I could not whoop, where I would ever end up killing an unarmend person. STUPID. I am Black and I agree Blacks are quick to call racisim. But if the kid was White wearing ABERCROMBIE sweater would he even have been followed?? Not by me at least. I am black and am more suspicious of young black teenagers than of white ones. So to say racism is not an issue is false because blacks do it also.

Afterthought: get the neighborhood watch in the gym and on the juice and put away the guns so they dont need to "fear for their life" when incountering a 160lb teenage boy

You have made your point very honestly and articulate. I agree with much of what you said. The media is stoking the racial division, it has gotten much worse the last few years.

ReadyToKillIt's picture

Black? Would it be racist if I said I thought you were a Mexican based off of your name! Lol, jk.

chicoimpala's picture

Nope...not at all. Pre judging is what humans use to avoid danger and the unknown. That is why humans have survived. So Pre-D-judice is just pre judging, something that EVERYONE does daily and as long as your opinions are not set in stone and can be changed by meeting people who behave differently (hopefully better) than you expect. I my best friends consist of whites, mexicans , and blacks.
Most on here assume Mexican because of the name, but its the town I used to live in

".....Pre-D-Judice is just pre judging...", Your absolutely correct brother. Too bad it has become a negitive word. As you said EVERYONE does it daily...from choosing your mate, to driving a car. Its making a observation. Theres some places that I wouldn't want to be caught dead in, and some people around too no matter what color! Around my neck of the woods they are some black neighborhood I don't go though and there is one black neighborhood if I ever was to break down thats where I would want to be..they actually are some of the freindly people too be around. I know this from Observation (pre-d-judging) not because I'm a racist. Good Point out bro

Zimmerman is hispanic.. the media pushed he was white.. The only racists I see here are the ones assuming he is white and making this into a race issue

OmNom's picture

It's disgusting.. Mean while our gov is funding more wars GG

OmNom's picture

I'm disgusted this has become such a big deal only because of the ever popular race card.. people have tried to make this a black and white thing when the guy is hispanic.. It's just the media playing on stupid peoples emotions and things just as bad or worse happen daily that goes unspoken of.
They had a problem with robberies in that area.. the cops weren't doing their job with stopping the robberies so they form a neighborhood watch.. I understand zimmerman should have listened when they told him to stop following the guy but if these people telling you to stop are also the ones who are letting you and your neighbors be robbed over and over are you really going to listen to those pigs? The man probably had huge resentment about the situation and every shadey character that walks by prlly looks like the next robber to him and in his mind robbers carry guns too.. So he's pissed and following this guy.. trayvon turns on zimmerman and decides to start a fight, this is mistake number two in the situation.. Kids are too quick these days to jump into fights.. My mother always told me if a strange animal comes up to you then don't touch it.. especially not a short fat balding guy obviously going through a mid life crisis.. and number three being zimmerman responds with the gun.. Did he feel his life was threatened? maybe? maybe not?.. In my honest opinion they both fucked up and they are a products of their shitty environment.
Ask yourself if cops had done something about those robberies would zimmerman even be out there with a gun? I don't think so
