Yhose of you who come here to celebrate Zimmerman escaping justice

should KNOW that we do not celebrate death by the hands of bigots here.



Your attempts to dance on Trayvon Martin's grave are despicable, and quite frankly, ignorant. The day may come that you are in the position Zimerman is and won't be lucky, or have a competent jury, or draw an anti-gun prosecutor.


Have a nice life.

what with the prosecution deliberately scuttling their case, but he was entitled to a TRULY fair trial, and a TRULY impartial jury.

In that case, the outcome would have been different.

Had Zimmerman been black and armed and Martin been white and unarmed, Zimmerman would have been arrested instantly, tried, found guilty and sent to prison.

That is a fact of life in America.

sanctimonious preaching about their "superior understanding of the law" and "how right was the verdict" (once one ignores all contradictory evidence).

They think that masks the true ugliness, but it doesn't.

We get that you didn't like the outcome. We get that you don't understand how a jury can consider all the evidence and the laws of Florida, and unanimously come to the same decision.

I wish Martin were still alive.

I wish ALEC were dead.

But that isn't what we have.

Insulting the people on this board who actually understand how the justice system works really isn't helpful. We are not the enemy.

Get some sleep.

as expendable for 200 years now.

The old white ladies on that jury were scared of Trayvon Martin, even though he's dead.

Actually with a comment like that, you are.


We have no less understanding than you do, oh pious one.


It is with great satisfaction that I put you on ignore. KNOWING you think you are smarter than the rest of us confirms I am making the right decision. If you think telling me to get some sleep is another good choice, well you can think of the next four words I would tell you. And one of them is 'yourself and then a comma. In case you can't figure it out.

Bye.

'Cause there's only going to be more and well, we wouldn't want your beautiful mind to be wasted on the subject, after all.

Might I suggest tvtropes.com? That place could take up your time halfway into Monday if you're not careful.

who gives a fuck what the Zimmerman gang thinks. He is a Murderer and please understand we are now gearing our children up for what it is those bitches want. We will tell our children of color they will never be safe in America. Never.!!!!!!So now when you say that Children of color won't fuck with some people you will know why. Because we will teach them never to trust anything about America.!!!!

I also think this is a case of jury nullification. These jurors all of whom are female, 5 white and 1 Hispanic had the shit scared out of them by the defense who basically demonized Trayvon Martin. The victim was put on trial here and the jury was so scared of a black 17 year kid that they acquitted Zimmerman. The defense and the Zimmerman family are talking out both sides of their mouths by saying that they are sorry that Trayvon is dead and then in the same breath saying that Trayvon was a criminal who beat up George, was growing pot and it was self defense. This jury was never going to convict Zimmerman on any charge because they put themselves in Zimmerman's shoes and saw themselves getting beaten and they felt a duty to make this world safe from 17 year old black kids.
