DESPERATE

The End

NOT GUILTY…that was not shocking at all.

Unfortunately the prosecution team did not prove, beyond a reasonable doubt so that was the correct verdict absent emotion or any other content. That is the law (The CASE, or any similar case, IS STRICTLY or should be, AN EVALUATION OF THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED. THAT’s IT.)

Unfortunately, the evidence wasn’t enough. There were reasonable doubts even though I wanted him to be convicted of Manslaughter. However, God knows all and even Zimmerman can’t escape his justice.
I really feel for the family of Trayvon but the law can be cruel sometimes and this is one case.
The justice system has some serious flaws that needs fixing and can be very very cruel on a moral level but that was still the right verdict.

It doesn’t mean that George Zimmerman was innocent but the state just didn’t meet the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The case [inside the court] wasn’t about morality or right or wrong…The case was weak from the beginning but like I said before, God’s verdict can’t be avoided.

Don’t be ignorant. Education is power!

1. If this murder wasn’t televised and publicized, most people wouldn’t even know about it. And most people didn’t even follow the actual case and are just jumping the reactionary bandwagon.
2. “Not Guilty” is not the same as “Innocent.” At least not in the case of the law.
3. “Racial profiling” does not make you a “racist.” I do it…I even racial profile ”black people.”
4. George Zimmerman is not “white.” He’s technically still a minority.
5. Justice was served under the law. So be angry at the system and not the jurors, the judge or anyone else because there are similarities to the OJ was acquittal (He probably did it too.)
6. A criminal case is not about who followed who or who didn’t listen to the police or whatever other racial/etc sentiment you want to add. Simply put, the state did not meet their burden beyond a reasonable doubt. I wanted Zimmerman convicted of something…anything….but even I had doubts and that’s enough for a “Not Guilty” verdict. And if you say that you had no doubts whatsoever, then you either did not follow the case, or you are not an honest person.

*I too cannot believe that a “kid” is dead and no one is to pay for it but that’s the world that we live in sometimes. If Trayvon was my son or brother, I would want Zimmerman dead too regardless of his race or intentions. The system definitely needs reviewing and needs a change but no need for all the IGNORANCE I’ve been reading for the past couple of hours.

I rest my case. Goodnight and the “Supreme Judge” is still in control!

I'd like to suggest a LAW section to discuss current and past cases.

The verdict from the State vs. Zimmerman's case yesterday was very interesting and could use a hot discussion on Nairaland from those who followed the case.

Today I witnessed DISCRIMINATION and SEGREGATION!

I was eating bread and ground-nuts on my balcony when a sizable piece fell to the ground. Five minutes later, some ants gathered around to share in the spoils. They started breaking off pieces of the bread and passing down to one another leading in a sing file.

All of a sudden, a bigger, black and obviously out-of-place ant tried to join the line and was heavily cancelled and ridiculed…I wish I could hear the conversation. In fact, the other ants readjusted their lines to go around and exclude the black ant.

Can you believe it? They literally schemed and designed a supply chain right before my eyes that excluded the black ant!
Playing God, I went inside, came back with a “weapon” and killed all those damn selfish, segregating and discriminatory ants! The black ant had all the bread to himself and lived happily ever after!

The END!

*And then I killed the black ant because I didn't wanna send the wrong message that it was okay for ants to crash around here. I also used roach spray for good measure!

On the 3rd day, I witnessed a miracle!

One of our suppliers' VP took me to lunch today to progress some negotiations. He ordered, CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN...and that was not a typo...what the heck is a chicken fried chicken...in Kentucky?...as if Kentucky Fried Chicken wasn't enough!

Anyways, I ordered some ribs (half rack since I eat like a snail and wanted to be considerate), sweet mashed potatoes and corn with pink lemonade. The toasts/breads were excellent...I only ate one and he ate 3 even before I could butter my knife...not even the bread...I was impressed but silently unhappy since I wanted one more.

You can't really just scream for more toast in a corporate lunch so I marked the location with an X! I'm coming back on a later date for more of those bread.

We had a great conversation about the world, soccer, Louisville, Purdue and then his company and the negotiation...The food came about 15 minutes later and it was time to eat. I smiled at my corn, took a sip of my lemonade with 2 scoops of sweet mashed potatoes. I looked up across the table and the CHICKEN FRIEND CHICKEN had disappeared! Evaporated! I mean GONE, without a trace...within seconds...what the heck?

I almost chocked on my corn...UNBELIEVABLE...At this point, I had to call for TO-GO plate. If I knew this guy was the Usain Bolts or Houdini of eating, I woud've ordered a full rack [free meal] and took my time when I got back to my office.

Oh well, still a great day but WONDERS SHALL NEVER END!

My grandmother would've finished better than Spain today. It's very tough to beat Brazil at home. However, what shall it profit a nation to win the last 3 confederations cups and loose the following world cup?

*I'll answer that: 3 confederations cups...

I still have my money on Germany for 2014. Even Brazil won't be able to beat them in Brazil.

That "thing" has a congregation? God forbid. She's obviously in the "ministry business" not in ministry.

She's probably possessed by a familiar spirit...a familiar spirit that is familiar with ministering.

That president's name is seriousooo...President Babatunde Badmus...

This is shocking but I don't like him. One less person Roger Federer, who is still the best player on grass, has to deal with on his way to making history at Wimbledon.

Never thought the day would come when the men would be using more pictures than the women. As if more pictures make you more attractive...4 is enough.

And don't post pictures you took by yourself in your bathroom!

25omega: ok you have an intro... so where is the documentary? Good job by the way

Sorry for the late reply but it took a why learning the program and cutting the video but I've updated the post with the actual documentary.

Thanks!

My 2 Chinese friends and I took an 8 week, 10 country tour of Europe.

Here’s a recap...It's an hour and a half long so we don't expect anyone to sit and watch all of it at once. Some bits are more entertaining than others. Thanks for the support! (Excuse the camera shaking in the beginning and enjoy my imperfect amateur work!)
