Saint Trayvon: Why Trayvon Martin’s killer may go free, & why that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

The Author

[fieldmarshaldj]

Mentally ill racist.

[Political Junkie Too]

What matters is what the twelve jurors believe to be true.

“....only wanted to get back home with his Skittles & tea and watch basketball.”

So how come it took 40+ minutes to get back to his place from the 7-11 a few blocks away?

[21twelve]

“Stand Your Ground law”

Yeah - he mentions this like the idiot that he is. And it took him a YEAR to write this crap!?

[ejonesie22]

Ah, Saint Trayvon the Martyr...

[Jeff Winston]

There hadn’t been enough time to process what had happened to that young man who only wanted to get back home with his Skittles & tea and watch basketball...

Then why didn't he go on home instead of attacking the "cracker"?

Zimmerman had LOST him. That being the case, there was certainly plenty of time and opportunity for a lanky 17-year-old - who was athletic enough to have played football - to trot on home in the dark and rain and watch that basketball game.

Fact is, "Saint Trayvon" didn't WANT to go home. He wanted a confrontation. He wanted to smash George Zimmerman's nose and pound his head against the concrete.

That being the case, "justice for Trayvon" has already been administered.

“I’d go so far as to say that Trayvon would have whipped his assailant’s ass, were it not for the gun.”

The defense rests your honor.

It took him a year to write that emotional drivel?

Justice is BLIND.

Not the brightest bulb on the tree.

[Figment]

What a misguided idiot. He has so many facts wrong it’s pointless to list them. He comes to almost the right conclusion through stupidity

[Ron H.]

BooHoo. Shed me a tear.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Yep... 12 jurors???

Clearly this guy is following the trial VERY closely.

The question we need to ask ourselves is, “Which outcome would be best for everyone?”

Typical Progressive nonsense.

Good idea considering this clueless dork doesn't know there are only six and not twelve.

[Pox]

What matters is what the twelve jurors believe to be true.

Author = Moron who doesn't even know the details of the trial currently in progress.

His death is nothing less than murder, plain and simple.

Author = Terminally biased asshole.

But too many states have essentially legalized murder with laws that allow anyone to kill anyone else on the pretext that they fear for their life.

Author = Ideological Jackass who is appealing to the emotionally ruled segment of society, primarily women who believe they are smarter than they actually are.

While I would love to see Trayvon’s killer locked away for what he did, moving this country in a more humane direction would be the bigger prize. A verdict of “not guilty” may not accomplish that, but I think it’s the only chance. Brace yourselves.

Author understands that the defendant will likely not be found guilty and is not pleased at all with this likely outcome.

I dont agree with very much of what 2nd Vet says on this matter though I have agreed with many of his other posts. If you REALLY study the story and get as many facts pertaining to the history, witness testimony, the evidence and the timelines what you have is two asteroids that were hurling towards each other that resulted in death which could have been averted if either one had decided to pull back and let it go. It could have been Zimmerman’s death just as easily but then it would only have been a passing story that would have been forgotten within the week. I wont go into all the facts that led me to this conclusion as its been repeated on these forum ad nauseum. The who fiasco has been politicized to the hilt for maximum effectiveness in regard to polarizing black against white votes at the voting booths (IMHO of course).

Was he within the law?

This is an easy one - Yes.
