Fuck

[DainBramaged]

A boy guilty of eating Skittles while black,



and dead.


fuck


The NRA and gungeon mold celebrate another Black man dead.


Those of you who came here to defend this fuck Zimmerman can go back to hell now.

[Beaverhausen]

1. my sentiments exactly

fuckity fuck fuck

[coldbeer]

73. A Few Good Men

The verdict was inevitable.

[Duer 157099]

2. FUCK n/t

[FarPoint]

3. Double Fuck!

Dam it Fuck!

[Ilsa]

4. He got away with murder. nt

[meow2u3]

7. I second that

I think the Federal government ought to step in and prosecute Zimmerman on civil rights violations. He did act like a wannabe cop, under color of law, as they put it.

[Magginkat]

41. Civil Rights Violations?

Is that possible? It's darn sure worth writing to Justice Dept, elected officials. I'll try. I'm one pissed off grandmother.

[meow2u3]

45. AFAIK, if Zimmie acted as if he were a cop, he acted under color of law

IANAL, but it's worth it asking an attorney about it.

[Voice for Peace]

107. I believe this is something the NAACP is pursuing

according to their statement

July 13, 2013
(Orlando) The National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People released the following statement on
the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the killing of
Trayvon Martin:

NAACP Chairman Roslyn M. Brock:

“Today, justice failed Trayvon Martin and his family,”
said Roslyn M. Brock, Chairman of the NAACP. “We call
immediately for the Justice Department to conduct an
investigation into the civil rights violations committed
against Trayvon Martin. This case has re-energized the
movement to end racial profiling in the United States.”

NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous:

“We are outraged and heartbroken over today’s verdict,”
said Benjamin Todd Jealous, President and CEO of the NAACP.
“We stand with Trayvon’s family and we are called to act.
We will pursue civil rights charges with the Department of
Justice, we will continue to fight for the removal of Stand Y
our Ground laws in every state, and we will not rest until
racial profiling in all its forms is outlawed.”

NAACP Florida State Conference President Adora Obi Nweze:

“We lost a young man due to senseless violence, but justice
did not prevail,” said Adora Obi Nweze, President of the Florida
NAACP State Conference. “Last year we pushed for the arrest
of George Zimmerman and a thorough investigation and trial.
Today, we are still called to act. No one should be allowed to
use this law to commit a senseless crime again.”

[calimary]

110. I'll third it.

Fuck. Fuck. And Fuck.

[MissDeeds]

26. Yes he did

and the jurors made it possible. I hope this decision weighs on their minds for years to come. Zimmerman sought confrontation, and an innocent teen is dead because of it. Another dark day in this country's criminal justice system...

[Ilsa]

29. I cannot fathom how they could let a dangerous man

like this go. He needs to be locked up.

[jwirr]

84. And now that he has gotten away with it he is likely to repeat it in my opinion.

[calimary]

112. My fear as well. He just got a gold star for proper behavior from the jury.

And from this "system" everybody still wants to praise as being the best in the world. Doesn't look like that so much, on this day-after. Zimmerman, and others like him, will take this as approval, validation, and vindication for what he did. And if he was, in effect, told by the jury and the system and the law that he did nothing wrong, indeed WHAT IS TO STOP HIM from doing the same thing again, if ever in a similar situation? And what's to stop others like him from pointing to his case and saying "SEE? NOTHING wrong here! No harm, no foul! Carry on!"

[LiberalLovinLug]

118. I wouldn't be surprised

If in the near future we hear of Zimmerman involved in some other violent confrontation. He obviously has a temper problem and a god complex which will only get more inflated after the verdict.

[Magginkat]

43. Murder........Yes he did

I cannot fathom how they could not have found him guilty at least of
manslaughter. How could they listen to his cold, heartless lies and
still think he is innocent. I wish them the same as you plus I hope they
have nightmares about it for yrs.

[quakerboy]

71. By Florida law

Murder is legal. Acceptable. Permitted. Maybe even encouraged. If they want murderers in jail, they will have to change the laws.

In the mean time, I do not recommend being nonwhite in Florida. You are fair game.

[meanit]

75. Murder is fine in Florida for now....

until a few conservatives get shot. Then the laws will be "adjusted".

[heaven05]

96. conservatives

won't be shot. It will be a cold day in hell when the tool whites need to kill young black male 'threats' is removed from the hands of vigilantes.

[meanit]

97. It can work both ways though

the next Zimmerman may be facing an armed person instead of an unarmed kid.

[quakerboy]

126. Not likely

Zimmermans dont go after people who might have the ability to return fire.

And just because murder is legal for white dudes stalking dark skinned kids, does not by any means mean that it is legal for women or nonwhites who are in dangerous situations.

[meanit]

134. Concern for being legal has been compromised a bit at this point.

Trayvon Martin was legally walking in a neighborhood that he had a legal right to be in. He was accosted by an armed man who apparently did not even identify himself, which most likely prompted Martin to legally defend himself. What Martin got for that was murdered and his killer let off scott free, legally.

It seems to be boiling down to a case survival for the next potential victims of "Zimmerman style justice".

[ReRe]

81. There are some states that are like foreign countries...

... and most of them are in the South. Florida is one of them. Alabama & Mississippi and South Carolina are a few others that are dangerous to live in. It's pretty bad when you get a job opportunity in another state and you can't accept the job until you check the GD effed up laws in the state. Hell, you'd have to hire a lawyer to gather the info for you. All I can say is just DON'T move to the south for a job.

[TDale313]

128. You're not wrong.

Everything about this is so fucked up.

[firenewt]

119. They will feel justice was served. I fear Zimmerman did what the jury would have done in the

same situation. They will be held up as heroes by the RW Thugs who want nothing more than open season on minorities, the poor, the educated, liberals, schools etc. At what point do we say enough is enough? Ultimately, violence will have to be met with violence.

[qanda]

121. He sure did!

And anyone who believes he didn't is either crazy or a complete and total racist. Sorry.

[Stargazer09]

5. Agreed

Fuck.

[LiberalElite]

6. I really don't feel so good this is very bad

[johnnyreb]

8. Un fucking believable.

As in, not good.

[Skittles]

9. fuck the Zimmy defenders - racist gun humpers, all of them

[alcibiades_mystery]

49. +1

I think it's time for a general shunning of these fuckers.

When is enough of their bullshit enough?

[Iceberg Louie]

80. A lot of Zimmerman supporters here in ND

They all happen to be incapable of discussing the case without inserting a couple racial slurs. They practically jizz themselves when they point out ND's similar "stand your ground" laws. I'm convinced they would be Klan members if they weren't too chicken-shit to have the courage of their convictions.

[Skittles]

82. they are just more honest than the ones here

[Hoyt]

10. What a crock. Armed bigot murders kid and dances on his grave.

[SalviaBlue]

11. FUCK!!!!

[dickthegrouch]

12. So WRONG

I despair for justice in the US.

If the legislature doesn't correct the law, THEY ARE COMPLICIT IN THE NEXT MURDER. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. THEM.

[DainBramaged]

15. Another piece of shit floats to the top

You're gone asshole, like toilet paper, flushed, you stupid asswipes will never get it. And you're too fucking dumb to even stay here past two posts.

[rhett o rick]

18. He is gonzo. nm

[msanthrope]

14. Motherfucker. nt

[DainBramaged]

17. You aren't funny, never were

[Spitfire of ATJ]

22. Meanwhile, many here weren't overly shocked and see the big picture....

Sometimes it takes outrage on a case to change the world.

[DainBramaged]

23. You lost your credibility with your first reply, I don't care how you feel

two words, and they aren't Merry Christmas

[Spitfire of ATJ]

28. I guess you need time.

[Kennah]

20. Feels more like rape of justice

[Spitfire of ATJ]

24. Am I the only one that thought the prosecution didn't really have their heart in it?

After all, they knew the next step was going to be a major lawsuit against the local cops.

[DainBramaged]

27. You really need to stop

go be a fucking Saturday night lawyer somewhere else.

[TNNurse]

19. I feel physically ill.

This is so very wrong.

[hue]

98. I am sick also---this verdict is immeasurably terrible, horrible, sickening.....

[whatchamacallit]

21. I don't believe it...

the verdict is impossibly wrong.

[reusrename]

25. I'm literally sick to my stomach.

[SaveAmerica]

60. I was too, extreme sadness for the loss of his life and his family's pain.

[hunter]

31. Hot piss on the gun culture and their guns.

Asparagus piss.

Piss on Zimmerman.

NRA goons and all you other cowardly, fearful weenies: YOU OWN THIS.

Thanks for starting this thread DainBramaged.

My anger is incandescent.

[mstinamotorcity2]

32. I believe it!!!!

Have lived this Shit all my life. Fuck George Zimmerman and his whole RACIST KLAN....Bitches!!!!! His Entire family is a family of Hatemongers. He will never be safe in America. I don't give a fuck what happens to his ass. They are worried about people threatening that foul ass bitch. Who gives a fuck except his shitty mama.

[heaven05]

46. better

go back to peru

[mstinamotorcity2]

54. We already knew the fix was in!!!!!

They would not have trotted all those civic leaders out unless they were already planning this. they tried to appease us by having a mock trial. children of color are not safe in America. They will NEVER be safe in America. NEVER!!!!!!!

[heaven05]

57. never

have been safe. Birmingham church bombing in 1963-Trayvon Martin murder 2013. Same outcome for racist pigs....killed a .....Oh the racist are popping champagne corks in the democrat party, rethug party, tea party, klan and other racist pig parties. What a sham this trial was. But having lived for 65 years with 'american justice', I am not surprised.

[proReality]

33. This is absolutely sickening.

I can't believe 5 mothers didn't think about their children walking home at 7:15 at night and being stalked, then shot by a vigilante cop wannabe.

[avaistheone1]

59. Wow they are 5 moms?!! Their lack of compassion is truly shocking.

[hue]

99. Sooo true---I never expected this from them!!!!! Soo shocking!! Unbelievable!!!!

[Bettie]

94. I'm a mother and I'm a white woman

And I have empathy for Trayvon Martin and disgust for his murderer. I could barely go to sleep last night, just thinking how this must be another blow for his mother, thinking about how this must be like losing her boy all over again.

It seems to me that five white women from the Sanford area (where there have been racial problems before) might simply have thought they would be afraid of any young black man too. They didn't convict because they thought they would have felt fearful of the boy's skin color too.

It is a sad day in this country when an admitted killer is able to walk on a clearly made-up story.

I hope he never has another good day in his life, but the fact is, he'll be making the rounds of the right wing talk shows very soon and be treated like a celebrity by a certain segment of society.

He's their hero: the guy who made murder legal.

[Cha]

34. I know.. I'm sick like everyone else who

wanted only Justice for Trayvon.

[no1dolo]

35. Casey Anthony & George Zimmerman

I guess in that county you can do anything you want to and not worry about paying for it!
Casey Anthony and George Zimmerman

[ladym55]

42. Time for this county to replace their prosecutors

They obviously suck. Either that or the citizenry called for jury duty are all dumber than bags of hammers.

[RegexReader]

51. Would you want?

your fate decided by 6 people that weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty?

[ladym55]

55. That is something else I don't understand

Why was the jury only 6? I never did get an answer to that. This whole thing has me very upset. A 17-year-old kid should be able to buy Skittles and walk back to his father's house without taking a bullet.

[whopis01]

108. 6 is standard for criminal cases

They only require 12 when it is a capital case.

[ladym55]

122. I finally learned that today

It would have a big help to have 12 jurors and a more diverse jury.

[whopis01]

123. I agree with that completely - particularly the more diverse jury.

Even if it had not changed the outcome, a more diverse jury would have lent more credibility to the verdict.

[xtraxritical]

64. The prosecution was lame from the opening knock knock joke, what a joke.

[Ed Suspicious]

72. I thought that was the defense attorney.

[polly7]

78. It was. nt.

[xtraxritical]

88. Ok I thought it was the prosecutor, either way it's a bad verdict.

[nebenaube]

85. They can only prosecute prostitutes and pot smokers...

Anything beyond that is just too difficult.

[Number23]

36. All I can do is K&R. I cannot even... I'm just numb now. So sick of this FUCKING SHIT

[jtuck004]

37. So these 4 white people stand up and talk about how proud they are that the law worked. Shit

The guy in the back can go fuck himself, btw. Talked about how the parents handled themselves like "lady and gentleman". Did he think they were barbarians?.

Condescending asshole.

[4 more years]

38. Sick as hell and not sure about this stupid fucking country

What the hell is going .

[xtraxritical]

65. Kochs, Adelmans, and suckers.

[Lifelong Protester]

39. Disgusted.

Just disgusted. Can't believe the guy got away with murder, and hope the rest of his life is a living hell.

[Lobo27]

40. What I'll never understand is this...

How a grown ass man w/ fucking gun. Who weighed 240+ was scared for his life. He wasn't scared, mother fucker went for a power grab is all. He thought he was the top dog. Mr. Self Appointed Neighborhood Watch.

[ctsnowman]

104. He was

so afraid he got out of his truck and chased his fear. You have to do some real mental gymnastics to justify this BS. Peace.

[doc03]

44. I don't believe it I agree with you for once n/t

[BlueJazz]

47. This might be sent to jury...I don't care. >>

The way I feel right now...Zimmerman is very lucky I'm not an old man with no family and nothing to lose.
My hate is purple.

[historylovr]

48. Fuck is right.

This is so disgusting.

[naaman fletcher]

50. This sucks

And i personally think he is guilty of manslaughter but anyone who looked at this with an open mind saw this coming.

[Politicub]

52. Mark Omara's smug demeanor is disgusting

He keeps saying something like, "everything I do is great."

I weep for TM's family.

[Paladin]

102. Better brace yourself: there will be a lot of smug DU Gun Enthusiasts to deal with. (nt)

[Politicub]

109. Zimmerman may not have felt so cocksure if he didn't have a gun

Most people would think twice before setting out on foot after someone if they didn't have a metal dick strapped to their side.

[7962]

117. "a metal dick"...that is priceless

[craigmatic]

53. How ther fuck out of all the people in florida did they come up with an all white jury? I mean in

2013 how was that even possible and they had to have opinions about the case before the trial started. This is a fucking travesty.

[murielm99]

56. I think most of them have gone back to hell.

Many of them came here only to taunt and antagonize anyone who wanted to see Zimmerman found guilty.

[mehrrh]

58. Zimmerman

This verdict is wrong -- so wrong.

[Major Hogwash]

61. No shit!

They can all take their gungeon shit and go to hell!!!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

62. Fuck indeed.

I'm can't express how disgusted I am right now. I want to scream, to cry, to rail against the mindset in our country tang begets an injustice like this murder. I hope Zimmerman spends the rest of his life looking over his shoulder and living in the kind of fear Travon faced.

[world wide wally]

63. Another American nightmare

[blkmusclmachine]

66. Get the hell out of FL.

[jazzwineman]

67. Agree

I think the message is that people of color need to arm themselves so they can equalize against individuals who want to invade the privacy of others. Different name- same slavery

[SaveOurDemocracy]

68. I am shocked, speechless and heartbroken. :*(

[SleeplessinSoCal]

69. What do we do to show solidarity with the Martin family?

I got horrible chills when hearing the verdict. It's horrendous.

[Stardust]

125. Are there any funds set up for Trayvon's family?

[caseymoz]

70. K&R Send them to hell along with that jury. nt

[mwooldri]

74. :( - I give a new verdict: "Not Proven".

The court has ruled not guilty... but I cannot rule Mr. Zimmerman to be innocent. The jury was given specific and narrow instructions to follow. So for now, Mr. Zimmerman still has this cloud over him, and this is not the end of this case.

[tblue]

76. Innocent dead child.

And not enough people care. I'm glad most here on DU really do.

[Iceberg Louie]

79. "Justice" has once again been bought and paid for

What sickens me the most about this verdict was having now seen the same crime scene photo which the jury also saw. I won't post it directly, but for anyone who has not already seen it and wishes to feed their outrage, here is the link:

http://gawker.com/this-courtesy-of-msnbc-is-trayvon-martins-dead-body-753370712

WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGE!

This is the "menacing thug" whom George Zimmerman had no recourse but to defend his life from. This is the "punk" (or whatever more likely epithet he really used) who invoked such fear and threat that a John Wayne-abee self-appointed "neighborhood watch captain" was impelled to react with deadly force. This skinny, preppy-dressed kid was the face of terror in George's precious gated community.

Seriously, no offense to Murphy and Grayson supporters, but Florida needs to break off and sink into the Caribbean already. There's no good reason why it's the only state that warrants it's own category on Fark. Aside from that, among the many unfortunate lessons we should take away from this case, it's that the money which corrupts our political system will never go away so long as the same moneyed forces also rig our legal system.

Personally, I have to wonder what kind of outcome we would have seen had Mark O'Mara been walking through a neighborhood he "didn't belong in" and was gunned down by someone who felt threatened by his ethnicity.

[HeiressofBickworth]

83. I'll just bet

every one of those white mothers on the jury said to themselves, "I'd be afraid of a black kid in a hoodie after dark -- Zimmerman must be right."

The problem from the beginning in this case was the quality of the jury pool. In the first place, so much pre-trial publicity contaminated the pool. There was no way an impartial jury was to be found in that town. The prosecution should have moved for a change of venue. Secondly is the inherent racism that exists in the south. And the prosecution in their post-verdit statement was quite wrong; this was always about race. Thirdly, the prosecution didn't do a very good job of objecting to testimony that was improper. Non-trained individuals testifying about psychological matters, for example. Conversely, they failed to follow up and expand inculpatory testimony.

All together, it resulted in ineffective prosecution and a biased jury, both of which operated in Zim's favor.

The whole thing disgusts me.

[Stardust]

124. I think you're right about the jurors...they would have been afraid. nt

[Hoyt]

129. I still cannot believe not one of them had guts to stand up for TM, not one.

[DainBramaged]

92. "the media wank fest "

Really, that's what you thought?

[DainBramaged]

132. We see you

[Whisp]

87. K&R & tears.

[snooper2]

89. There is no such thing as hell

But you can't see this because you hate Toyota Tacomas

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

90. Indeed.

[lupinella]

91. K&R n/t

[DLevine]

93. I am so depressed.

I was hoping upon hope the jury would make the right call. Nope. Open season on black males, at least in Florida. So disgusting. I'm ashamed to be white.

[ColesCountyDem]

95. "Trayvon Martin could have been my son"

After my brother and sister-in-law's untimely deaths, I raised my nephew, who is mixed-race. It is hard to explain to anyone who is not the parent of a minority child how soul-scarring it is to have to teach your child to always do exactly what a police officer tells you to do, even if it's wrong or illegal, to always keep your hands visible, to never use body language that could be misconstrued as 'threatening' or 'hostile' by anyone they encounter, etc., etc., etc., just to keep them from being gunned down.

I am in pain, and physically ill about last night's verdict.

[3catwoman3]

100. So, so , soooooooooo wrong...

I could not sleep last night, thinking about this.

I watched some of the post verdict interview with the prosecution team. I noticed that the lead FL State Attorney, Angela Corey (who was not part of the prosecutorial team), seemed to be enjoying her time at the microphone - big smile on her face, flashily dressed with a huge, triple strand, costume jewelry type necklace, and a deep cut ruffled neck top. No somber facial expression, no subdued voice.

There was commentary afterward that did address her jovial demeanor, and pointed out that she was the prosecutor was on the case of a black woman who fired a warning shot at her abusive husband, INTO THE CEILING, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. I just found this link at a site called Twitchy - no knowledge about this site:

http://twitchy.com/2013/07/13/viewers-wonder-why-is-florida-state-attorney-angela-corey-smiling-so-big/

I also thought it very odd that the prosecution would agree to impanel a jury with NO black members.

I could not bear to watch interviews with the defense team.

[G_j]

101. K&R!

[CrispyQ]

103. It's sickening. -nt

[ctsnowman]

105. K & R

[Squatchr]

106. Wow,

The hate being spewed on this topic is really disturbing. So I guess justice would have served only if the verdict were the other way around?

[11 Bravo]

113. Justice would have been served if the man who followed and shot an unarmed teenager had been ...

called to account for his actions. And please, do enjoy your stay.

[DainBramaged]

114. Right, hate

We see you.

[NaturalHigh]

120. That's the popular view.

Never mind the jury verdict, of course.

[walkerbait41]

111. +1

We are so fucking mad

[AikidoSoul]

115. Most of my "family" lives in the Sanford area of Florida

Back in the sixties I traveled there by bus from Chicago to visit with my mom and new stepfather. When I got to the station in Sanford I spoke with a black man and called him "Mister". By the time I arrived home by taxi the word had traveled to my mom and stepdad that I had committed some kind of crime by using the word "Mister" to address a black man. I was verbally chastised by them. I have to say I never completely knew how incredibly prejudiced my mom was until then. It broke my heart. I was so sickened by the experience that it tore me to shreds inside my soul. I have to say that I've never forgiven them for this. Her new husband was a high priest in the Mormon church. At the time... and maybe forever at this point, Mormons were very prejudiced against the darker races.

[Art_from_Ark]

127. Wow

Just calling a black man "Mister" was enough to warrant a tongue-lashing I wonder what would have happened if you had called him "Sir"?

[WillyT]

116. Fuck... K & R !!!

[HiPointDem]

130. i had to stop posting on those threads. they were filled with disgusting people. i come back

this eve & the same disgusting people are still there spouting their crap.

if this is the new democratic party, it looks a lot like a politer kkk
