George Zimmerman Acquitted!!

[Easttex91]

It's pretty clear the kid could have got away but instead he stopped trying to get away knowing he could kick Zimmermans ass. I dont see where everyone comes off thinking Zimmerman should have easily handled him the kid was in entirely better fighting shape than a fat Mexican 10 years older. Than him. How many of you were in better shape at 30 than 17?

at 17...I was pretty stout from shoveling cement most of the day and sometimes running the big jack hammer at a 30 degree angle...it was a hot summer job but I was in shape...

This kid probably never had a job, and it wouldn't have been a strenuous job like that if he did but I'd be willing to bet he played some sort of ball on a regular basis. Not to mention he was apparently a regular fighter.

Heres another thing to think about for those of you who say you wouldn't have shot... Have you ever been in a fight to where your opponent had you in a full mount? I have and I promise you'll do whatever you can to get out of that there's no doubt your in fear when your opponent has full control of you.

RL,
Your right, I read it wrong. Know I hope this all goes away

27 year old me would put 17 year old me to shame in a fight.  The only thing stronger when I was 17 was my cockiness which does not help in a fight.

I hope it don't get much worse at 30 when I was 17 I was a fighting joker now at 25 I do good to make it throughout the day without throwing my back

Out

[Hog Dog Mike]

The gun shot went from the bottom up into Martin's chest. The only way that could happen is if he was on top of him pounding his face into the contrect. Which lick was going to knock him out? Would all the bleeding hearts feel better if he had of killed Zimmerman and then be running loose with his gun. I still say he was a gang thug, doper, criminal, that needed killing.

An 80 year old man that sold produce on the high way was killed 500 yards from my house. The wanted to steal his car so they could go rob the bank in Noonday. However, none of the 3 perps could drive a stick shift so the killing was for nothing. AND they didn't even have the sense to rob him of the 400+ dollars in his pocket. The man that did it was named Patric Horn (check it if you doubt me) and he had also killed a 10 year old child in Tyler named Chad Choice. He sent body parts of the child to his mother in order to extort money out of her.

I stay armed 100% of the time and will damn sure challange anybody that I do not know that is on my property.

This issue makes as much sense as suein the m@m company for not puttin equal color of m@ms in each pack.

If I was getting my face pounded into the concrete and I could not get who ever off of me and I was fearing for my life you can bet if I got a gun on me he is fixin to catch some lead.  Zimmerman did what he did in fear of his life and its the same damn thing 99% of the people bitchin about all this would have done if they were in the same postion !  The whole point is when Martin decked Zimmerman and then kept on beating him and stayed on top of him and never got off till the lead took him off that is were the problem lies . If he would have kicked his ass then got off of him and went on it would be a different story but when he stayed on top of him and kept slamming him that is when it became a different story and that is why Zimmerman is a free man .

I got a gun just about everywere I go and all I can say is I would have done the same thing if I was in that postion and never batted a eye !  I don't know all the facts of this but if this is the case then its shame on who ever .

I read an article on fb that Ted Nugent wrote that made the most sense to me. But don't know if I can find it now. Maybe somebody else can post it.

george did what anyone of us would have he defended himself an the media an propaganda ran with it an twisted for ratings.many crimes are commited daily against all races that never make the news,the martin family profitted from this trageity an that is sad.

[Easttex91]

"For those of you who say you wouldn't want to be in Zimmermans shoes on judgement day, keep in mind if you had a teenage son, Trayvon probably would have stolen his shoes" lmfao best thing I've heard about all this

[charles]

It seems the best thing outa this whole ordeal is, there is 1 less hoodlum running around beatin up on his elders, an elder elected to keep his neighborhood safe from crime. Zimmerman just culled a waist of oxygen from the neighborhood

all the racism - real or imagined by all sides, and the "he deserved it" type comments  notwithstanding , i'm tired of this case.

 Basically One dumb A  annoyed another dumb A to the point that they started a fight. It's essentially a bar room brawl case at day's end. As in those bar fight cases, just moments before things hit the fan, all was well and both parties were generally law abiding citizens(not without blemish but not ax murderers either - dont forget that you were not an angel at 17). Neither thinking their lives were about to change/end.

For all the talk of Martin being a thug or punk, well what red blooded American male wasnt at some point? I wont pretend he was on his way to bible school that night, but i also wont assume he was on his way to meet some gang members,  smoke some crack, then pull a drive by before stopping off at the local retirement home to steal an old womans walker. He was a young man with more testosterone than brains and his color, past texting, drug, or fight history is not important. He let his temper and ego get the best of him and his life ended as a result.  Zimmerman let his ego, little man complex, mall cop wannabe, attitude get the best of him and as a result his life will never be the same.

This is a tragic case because say what you will, most of us could have at one point in our lives been either one of these people. None are perfect, no not one and but for Grace of God, go I.

Hit the nail right on the head.

In my opinion, this is one of the most sensible posts on this whole thread.

I don't think he should of walked. If it been my kid he sure wouldn't be walking . If you had your head smashef in the sidewalk it would have been worst then a few cuts on his head.

Treyvon was a gang thug, doper, criminal that needed killing.

Who are you to say who should live and who shouldn't ?

I agree, the only one who should decide if somebody should be dead or alive is God himself
