You know, it's possible that GZ harbors racial animus towards blacks. NOT A CRIME.(Despicable though)

It's possible that he profiled TM because he was black. NOT A CRIME.

It's possible that he showed poor judgment. NOT A CRIME.

It's possible that he should have gone unarmed on the off chance that he might kill someone if he had a gun. NOT A CRIME.

It's even possible (HA) that he physically attacked TM first and that Martin was defending himself. THAT WOULD BE A CRIME.

The only problem is that the state couldn't prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.

If blacks want to be “equal” in this society, then they need to act equally. That is to say, when young, black males are no longer a statistically disproportionate greater danger to other peorple than any other demographic, then they will no longer be perceived as such.

In the meantime, other people have a right to their own lives and property, and are entitled to defend them against anybody, including the racial avengers.

Someone needs to tell Bankhole that Jim Crow was instituted by the Democrats.

I hope y’all noted that you can RATE ol’ Back-hoe’s silly hyperbolic story! No sign-in necessary! The rating buttons are near the top of the page so you don’t heve have to expose your eyeballs to much of his tripe.

I gave him a “Poor”.

YMMV but somehow I think he’s gonna get a LOT of Poor votes from freepers.

People like Bankhole here will never see the truth because they don't want to. They want to see the world through their discolored lenses formed of their own hypocrisy and racism.

Typical liberal. Trying to discuss anything with them in like arguing with a brick wall. They will never see the other side of a position because they just don't want to.

Apparently, by referring to a Black witness as not credible and using phrases she claimed she does not understand, juror B-37 confirmed to us that the jury members have had limited or no dealings whatsoever with the Black experience.

Why should a jury have to translate plain English into the "black experience?"

Why is the burden not on Jeantel to make certain she was plainly understood?

Ignoramus.

Non blacks just have to learn to take their “whoop ass” like a good cracka and without all that screaming.

“Does he have a sister named Cornhole?”

No a brother named Ass.

The sister was going to be named Bank but they were afraid she might become a prostitute.

Calling people RACIST is just an EXCUSE by losers who really can’t compete in society. I didn’t get the job because the boss was racist. These are people who live their lives in the I AM A VICTIM HOTEL. It’s never their fault, its because the other people are all racists. It’s really because they are losers.

Zimmerman was trying to protect the natural rights of his neighbors. And,it turns out that his initial impression of Martin was accurate, and Martin was in fact “up to no good”.

Martin was a known violator of property rights of others, which is why he was suspended from school. And he was nothing but a punk planning to get high.

skittles + Arizona iced tea + robitussin = “drank or lean”

Even though juror B-37 admitted that Zimmerman went too far and should not have gotten out of his car with his gun and followed Trayvon, she still believed “George,” as she referred to Zimmerman repeatedly, was on the right side of the law. Then she said both Trayvon and Zimmerman were responsible for what happened, but she assigned no culpability to Zimmerman.

Did he just take issue with her saying "George" and then follow it up with his own "Trayvon"?

After completing his training, Z’s instructor rated Z’s skill level as 1 out of 10. That amounts to a badass level of “when someone is sitting on you, breaking your nose, smashing your head into the pavement, and about to shoot you with your own gun, you grab the gun first and shoot him.” Bruce Lee, Z ain’t.
