Not surprised. Everyone who followed the case should have seen it coming. The defense lawyers were on their A-game from the get-go and Zimmerman being neighborhood watch volunteer helped his case as well. And he shot a black boy in a gated community. People shouldn't act like racial profiling isn't alive - from Diallo, to Sean Bell, to Oscar Grant and even Henry Gates - and Zimmerman is also a pseudo-police. Add the racial background of the jurors to the equation - 5 white women and 1 minority. Anyway, racism is never going nowhere, it's here to stay and I don't know why people are surprised, to be honest.

Funny how millions of cowardly black people are crying all over the web and spamming my PC screen with bellicose comments. They only come out once in a blue moon for black solidarity, however, after the usual shouting, they will all go back to what they know best. Hate and destroy the next black person. Add cowardly way-of-life and living in denial to the list. If half of those screaming everywhere were down for the cause, the black race won't be as phucked up as it is.

Can't believe a Lil Wayne also had something to say, yet despite the millions he has made off making toxic music - he's yet to give back to the thousands of poor black kids in New Orleans who need help. Heck, that fool promotes gang violence.

Anyway, where permed up Al Sharpton at? That's the only nyggah I wanna see!!! Shout-outs to Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, Rolands Martin, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Prof. Cornell West, Tavis Smiley etc.. These are the only black people in the trenches - I feel your pains the great ones.

R.I.P Trayvon Martin! Another brother killed in this white man's world. Yet the American "Just-us" system let the killer walk free.

I don't want to base my argument on this issue with the race card. I never did follow the trial but I read the summations and I am going to give my own idealogy about this incident.

G.Z ( George Zimmerman ) saw a suspicious looking black male ( Trayvor Martin ) and immediately called the authorities for assistance and to report his observations. He was told not to make an approach on this suspicion person but keep a watch on their activity.

He disobeyed order and followed this suspicious character even into tight black corners.

Now, I want to imagine myself in T.M shoes. I'm walking home or going out very late in the night and suddenly there's this figure emerging from his vehicle and carefully approaching me in the back watching me closely. I quickly picture this figure and notice his race to be hispanic/latino descendant and is built like a bull.

Knowing the area very well for it's gang related voilence, I get spooked about me attacked or being jacked ( being robbed ) and I am no punk so I turn back and charge at my predator asking why he is following me and I get no response. My immediate reflex would be to attack and make my predator incapacitated so I can flee. I am still not sure who is his. He might be a serial killer or some sort or even a white targetting blacks for racist reasons.

Now, there's a brawl between me and this person who is about twice my size and almost immediately, I am being shot and I loose my life in this incident.

Now everyone kindly take the time to imagine this scenerio and tell me what you would have done. Wouldn't it be the same thing I have done?.

You can't just stalk someone because you're an overzealous cop wannabee even when the authuroties adviced you not to follow suit but to wait for backup. Now an innocent man has been murdered and the culprit is now being acquitted of his crime because of it's circumstancial evidence. I just think this is wrong. G.Z is guilty and should be sentenced for second degree murder or even a lesser charge of manslaughter.

My two cents.

George Zimmerman killed the kid.. the 911 responder clearly told him to back off from the kid but he went ahead..

Its just a big shame, a jury consisting of 6 women
it was almost like the prosecution team just threw d case away intentionally #my opinion tho

Re: George Zimmerman Acquitted In Trayvon Martin Murder Trial by AyeeIdris(f): 11:46am On Jul 14, 2013
I am very surprised at some of the comments being made here. Obviously many people did not follow the case and is basing it on racial sentiments. GZ was the neighborhood watchman. His neighborhood has been riddled with burglary. Two weeks before the incidence, two black teens were arrested. Its sad that no one really listened to the 911 call. If you had, you wont be saying all this(not the edited one by ABC that they withdrew and are currently being sued for). In the call, he reported that he has seen a boy on a hoodie acting suspiciously, stopping to check out houses (which is odd because it was raining). The 911 operator asked if the suspect was white, black or Hispanic. He said "he looks black". He was asked to stay there and he responded "This f******g punks always get away" Then he said "he is running" and the door was heard slamming. The 911 reporter asked if he was following him. He said yes. they said "we don't need you to do that" (that's not an order from the police. He has the right to follow. Its his job).
Wonderfully enough, Martin's wonderful girlfriend testified that Martin was already close to his father's fiancé house. why did he not go in? Why was he found almost 180 degrees away? and when he referred to Zimmerman (who is Hispanic,not white) as a "weird ass cracker", why is that not viewed as racist? The media only showed 12 year old pictures of him, not the 17 year man who looked thuggish with tattoos and gold teeth. They didn't allow evidence that Martin was currently in suspension from school for hitting a bus driver, that a few weeks before he was found with stolen jewelry. They disallowed the text from his cousin asking Martin to teach him how to fight. They failed to mention that the mother said in her initial interview that he was such a problem child that she had to send him to live with his father. All this was disallowed in court because he was a minor, which is understandable, but repressed by the media to what end? Because they wanted to portray the boy as an innocent kid and not a possible thug that he may or may not have been. Cos his record would show reasonable doubt.

Then the controversial 'help help' recording, which was taken by the neighbor who saw someone wearing red (Zimmerman) being beaten under and called 911. His testimony was never controverted or punctured in any way. GZ had even told the police that he had called for help before the existence of the tape was even known. Then Martin parents tried to claim that he was the one calling. Yet earlier Martin's father had told the police that it was not his son's voice. when he was cross-examined on that fact, he said that the police mis-interpreted him. You don't have to take my word for it. The whole trial is on Youtube for your viewing. the evidence are all online. Read them all and then decide, but not by listening to propaganda.

People saying that he chose to get out of his car. It was his job too. This is an Hispanic that has no racial prejudice history. For heaven's sake, the guy is brown. His papers identifies him as Hispanic since he was born. don't know when he became a white man. He was beaten up. His head has lacerations and his nose was swollen. Martin had no injury on him except d gun shot wound and a laceration to his knuckle. Self defence is not a crime. And hopefully will never be.

There was so many things wrong with the case. The police didn't see a crime and let him go until some people started a very false propaganda that I initially believed and supported to get him arrested. I was bitterly disappointed when the evidence started surfacing. Obama even had a federal team investigate Zimmerman for racial crimes and he was found not guilty. He did not just go and shoot a black kid walking. He shot a black man beating him up. How is he supposed to know if he was 17 or 18. Martin was way taller than him. As for his MMA history, the instructor testified that he was "horrible" and he had told him he only did it to stay fit and hopefully one day learn how to do it. Having some MMA training doesn't mean you cant be beaten in a surprise attack. There was no need to fight at all. If Zimmerman wanted to do James Bond, he wont bother calling 911. He would just trail the kid on his own, but he didn't do that.

You don't have to take my word for it. The internet is your friend. The trial was televised. Long and tedious hours to watch, but fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me.do your own research. His acquittal is beyond right

My strategy in America is to keep as far away from police/crime/law as possible. If they profile wearing a hoodie, I don't wear any. My african-American friends call me coward, but I know as a black man I stand no chance of fairness in any trial. Especially with a foreign accent. I wonder why they don't see that.

Obama Files Federal Charges Against George Zimmerman Following Acquittal in Shooting Murder of Trayvon Martin

July 13, 2013

From: National Report
 
Just when we thought the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case was over following Zimmerman’s acquittal, the Obama Administration has taken the steps needed to file federal charges, thus sidestepping the well established, against Zimmerman.  Unidentified sources within the Administration have confirmed that Obama, and Justice Eric Holder at the Department of Justice have filed charges against Zimmerman for “violating Trayvon Martin’s civil rights”.

Double jeopardy is an often misunderstood concept in American Law.  The rule merely states that an individual cannot be tried twice for the same crime in the SAME COURT.  Liberal Justice Department officials often charge Americans with crimes from which they have previously been acquitted by filing federal charges on a similar crime in a federal court.

Go and read the case of O.J simpson my brother. Everyone knows he killed them. It is not the most infamous case for nothing. He has practically confessed to do so. Yet no conviction. Go read up the facts of the Zimmerman case. Go to Wikipedia and google him. Follow the actual court happenings and then tell me again that this was racially motivated.
