I love his courage and I do not think he should slink away having been wronged by Obama.

You comment reminds me of what Bill Clinton said to one of the women he raped:” Put some ice on it and it will feel better.”

You are telling Zimmerman to shut up put some ice on it and get lost. Obama and Holder did a big big wrong to Zimmerman. Totally inexcusable. He has every right to defend himself against that scum. Do you see Netenyahu backing down? The thing to know about Obama and Holder is that they are cowards and buckle against strength. Zimmerman is displaying Netenyahu-like courage.

Zimmerman said, identifying the president by his full name, "Barack Hussein Obama."

How should he have identified him? Barry Dumbass?

George apparently ain't the sharpest hook in the tackle box, for sure. So what? He didn't do a damn thing wrong here. He didn't do a damn thing that was illegal.

OIOH, the conduct of Barack Hussein Obama and Eric Holder was inexcusable. And that goes for the Ferguson mess as well. Who can possibly imagine the POTUS using Al Sharpton as an emissary ... to anything?

The fact that 1 out of 4 black men are incarcerated at some time in their lives does not mean that they are singled out for aggressive policing and subsequent prosecution. Anyone who knows a damn thing about their culture and lifestyle knows that the statistic shows remarkable forbearance.

Obama, Holder, Sharpton and the Hollywood hordes have sown a foul wind. Unfortunately, the lower-end Negroes will reap the whirlwind that follows. I am entirely sure that this is exactly what Obama, Holder, et al wanted.

Absence of guilt is not proof of innocence. That’s why the verdict is always voiced as, “Not guilty.” No one says ‘innocent’ in a legal setting. That’s what pundits and politicians say.

Zimmerman just strikes me as a guy with control issues, so I’m not 100% convinced he’s innocent. That’s all. It’s nothing to debate over. There was certainly no evidence to prove him guilty...not even close.

George Zimmerman strikes me as a little shady. Doesn’t he strike you that way? He placed himself into a situation with Trayvon Martin that was clearly avoidable. I’m sorry. Something just isn’t right with that guy.

Now, was there any evidence to prove Zimmerman guilty? No. Was he unfairly raked over the coals by a racist President? Yes. Based on the evidence, should his case have gone to trial? Absolutely not. Do I think he truly was innocent from a legal standpoint? Mostly, I do. But, I also think he’s a control freak who got in way over his head. I’m not talking about breaking the law. I’m saying that guy is off. That’s all.

Are you not having it both ways, legally not guitar but morally not innocent because he has “issues” none of which have been causally connected.

We are all guilty of original sin...

What if the MSM headline had been:

"Neighborhood Watch Volunteer Shoots Attacker,"

Do you honestly think you would have this opinion? I honestly don't think you would. One might say in your defense that what we have learned about GZ since the incident allows you your negative opinion. Is your conclusion not balanced by what we have learned about Trayvon Martin (and his "family," since the incident; the incident in which GZ came damn near death, with his skull bashed on a sidewalk?

Do you think your POTUS is justified in inviting Trayvon's "parents" to the Rose Garden, or claiming that dead burglar Trayvon "could have been his son," or ordering the DOJ to attempt to prosecute Zimmerman?

The President has placed Zimmerman's life in danger and ruined a young man's chances for whatever his life could have been. His racially incendiary tactics have cost the lives of two NYC police officers, the wounding of others in Ferguson, and definitely endangered the lives of all of those whom we pay to keep us safe.

I’m sorry. Something just isn’t right with that guy.
Your MSM/OBama-inspired opinion duly noted.

Dude, you’re out there.

There is no way in hell I would have got myself in the position Zimmerman got himself into if I had the same responsibility as he. Zimmerman didn’t know when he was getting in over his head because he was an amateur. He was playing ‘cop’ when he was just a neighborhood watch dude. I think he thought a bit too much of himself and ultimately took his role a bit too seriously.

Now, again, with all that said, Trayvon Martin most likely made the ultimate act of aggression that led to his own demise. The evidence indicates Zimmerman was ultimately defending himself. I get that and agree with that legal outcome. But I still say Zimmerman has ‘control freak’ issues that if he kept them in better check, all of this never would have happened.

Zimmerman supposedly voted for the chump in the WH.

These executed police officers would agree with Zimmerman if they could.
