Trayvon's mother: Latest juror statement "devastating"
CBS ^ | 7/26/13

Posted on 07/26/2013 6:21:00 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

The second juror to speak publicly said in an interview made available Thursday she feels George Zimmerman "got away with murder" for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, but that there wasn't enough evidence at trial to convict him under Florida law.

Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, released a statement saying, "It is devastating for my family to hear the comments from juror B29, comments which we already knew in our hearts to be true. That George Zimmerman literally got away with murder.

"This new information challenges our nation once again to do everything we can to make sure...

John Good said that he yelled that to the two people outside.

If his yell didn’t make it onto the cell phone then how could you expect anything that Martin said at a much lower decibel to make it?

Because as the Juror stated, she had to put her feelings aside and vote with the facts. Hard to do for a liberal apparently.

I listened to the juror's statement on the radio this morning.

She made it all about herself. Sez me, this is an attention whore, looking for her 15 min.

No, I think that 98% of the black community (the same percentage that voted for 0dumb0) will ignore any logical facts re. the trial, and keep telling themselves & others that this was MURDER by GZ. The majority of the rest of America believes otherwise..... not the perpetually aggrieved black victim class.

I wonder how much Sharpton, et. al., are paying her to make these statements.

Not paying attention that is for sure.

Possible, but I think that she just likes the sound of her own voice. Sharpton, etc might know this, though, and provided some "encouragement". Or, she might have gotten threatened, that's a possibility too. But Occam says that "she's an attention whore" is the simplest answer. Everyone likes to have people paying attention to what they say. :-)

On the radio blurb, she said something like: "I broke down, and got on my knees, and I cried afterwards. I couldn't believe what I had done." And so on, and so on. I, I, I, me, me, me. Like listening to an Obama speech.

Sez me, if she disagreed with the verdict, then she should have voted otherwise. It takes two (or six, in this case) to tango.

I have talked to liberals that really don’t savvy the concept of self-defense. Several times when debating the gun rights issue I have had liberals tell me even if they were being attacked, raped, you name it, they would not want to have a firearm to defend themselves. I had one woman tell me she would rather be raped and murdered than to shoot someone. Crazy I know but they have told me that.

Of course when it comes to the Zimmerman case we also have those that just don’t think a non-black ever has the right to kill a black no matter what. Seems to be fine with them if black men kill non-black or other blacks though. I guess only blacks are allowed to shoot people. That sounds pretty racist to me but what do I know.

I wish that juror had kept her pie hole shut. She just stirred things up when they were starting to finally settle down.

The MSM is criminally remiss in NOT addressing FIRST AND FOREMOST the basic and critical legal defects of current and blindly BIASED public opinion and statements about the outcome of the trial.

If the outraged public DOES NOT/CANNOT comprehend how the fundamentals of the legal system work, nothing anyone says will EVER convey to them that their objections are groundless, strictly emotional and subjective opinions!

Everyone has and is certainly ENTITLED to (a word they surly understand) an opinion, but opinions CANNOT determine fact...hence the legal and judicial system...!

Frankly, I am sick of the attempt to canonize Trayvon.

I'm sick of these SOBs cravenly insinuating Zimmerman did something wrong.

Attention: George Zimmerman did nothing illegal, immoral, or actionable!

You posted:
“I don’t think 98% of blacks feel that way. The “crowds” for these “Justice for St. Skittles” marches are hilariously low.

Most people realize, I think, GZ was a victim who fought back.”

I respectfully disagree and will post the following reason:
“I don’t think 98% of blacks feel that way.”
From college hunting buddies (black) to an Army captain in an NRA Instructors course I helped teach, the level of racism was both surprising and totally unexpected.
Black race based support of special treatment (We deserves Mo GibsMeDats!) is far more widely prevalent in blacks than we know. Beware - societal boils are nasty when they finally pop.

“The “crowds” for these “Justice for St. Skittles” marches are hilariously low.” True, but the attitudes are wide spread among younger blacks, particularly in Big Sh*ty Urban Feral neighborhoods.

“Most people realize, I think, GZ was a victim who fought back.” Were you to try that argument on a large majority of American blacks, I predict arguments and possible hostile acts.

Try it and let us know the results.

I've not heard that one, but I have heard on numerous occasions that "I'd just shoot them in the leg, or something." Better yet, I hear the same thing when cops put down one of these ferals.

It does show the lack of sense and total detachment from reality.

I think she’s spent more time with Trayvon these last few months than any of the time he was alive.

TM’s death is the best thing that ever happened to Trayvon’s parents and they know it. They can’t believe their good luck.
