George Zimmerman - Not Guilty

[lifted_silverado]

Now the most racist group the NAACP and race baiter al sharpton are pushing for a federal civil suit against zimmerman. Since it was proven that it was self defense in the case doesnt that make Trayvon the aggresor and the guilty of the crime? How can they push this further? At first al sharpton says he just wants zimmerman to face a trial because its right to do, then zimmerman gets off and thats not enough that he went through a whole trial and was found innocent. I hate that piece of shit and the whole NAACP group. Bunch of racist mob members that have a self righteous agenda

Haven't posted here in a while, but I had to chime in.

I've been following this case from day 1, and I was pro Zimmerman until all the evidence was put forth. Here's my take on it.

Zimmerman probably felt he had a good reason to follow Martin, and Martin had a good reason to believe he needed to defend himself. Neither one of them knew the other by sight or reputation. From their subjective perspectives, they were both strange people acting strangely.

Zimmerman was the neighborhood watch, cruising the neighborhood after a series of break-ins. He sees someone he hasn't seen around before, walking around surprisingly casually in the rain after dusk. From his perspective, he had ever reason to be suspicious.

Martin was simply a kid visiting family who lived in the neighborhood. He was just out walking home after picking up some watermelon arizona and skittles from the store, talking to his girlfriend on the cell the whole while, until he notices someone slowly...slowly following behind him in his car. He has just as many reasons to be suspicious as Zimmerman. Remember what our parents told us about strangers?

It's a weird situation for both of them. One based entirely on misunderstandings and nearly pointless suspicions, and one that ended up being handled in the worst possible ways.

When Trayvon noticed he was being followed, he did everything in his power to get away from Zimmerman. If you listened to the 911 tape, Zimmerman tells the operator twice that Trayvon was running away. He also says "these assholes always get away". He already profiled Trayvon as a criminal...knowing zero about the kid.

He then went on to say "I left to my car and he looked for me"

How does a kid go from running away from you...to then out of nowhere looking for you? It doesn't make any sense. It goes against everything Trayvon did minutes prior to the fight.

Given that Zimmerman is the only witness to what occurred at the end of the phone calls, one either has to put stock in his shifting-with-the-wind account or one has to be skeptical (within a range of views). Any assertion about who initiated hostilities is simply unsupportable, because quite frankly, the only first-hand witness is untrustworthy.

This is how Zimmerman looked after the fight

This is how he looked cleaned up at the police station 30-45 minutes after the fight

Does this look like a man that had his head bashed in to the concrete over 25 times?

None of us know exactly what happened that night. All we have is Zimmerman's side, and a bunch of conflicting eyewitness accounts that could easily point to either scenario depending on how you look at them.

The biggest problem I have is there are some people think Zimmerman did everything right and not a thing wrong. His behavior that night was far from normal.

Bad judgement on both sides lead to the death of 1.

What i "think" happened? I believe Zimmerman had brandished or drawn before the fight began; Zimmerman's own story claims that Martin was going for his gun. If it were concealed, Martin couldn't have known about it. (Unless we add "frisking" to the list of things he was doing delivering two dozen punches, smothering with both hands, and repeatedly bashing him into sidewalk - all while delivering a sinister monologue. It's obvious why he was was afraid for his life, he was being assaulted by The Flash.)

Let's suppose when the fight started Zimmerman had his gun in-hand and the fight was over that gun. This plausibly answers and explains:

- the lack of injury to everyone's hands

- why Martin had no injuries other than the fatal one

- what Zimmerman was doing for 40 seconds instead of getting out from under a smaller opponent

- Zimmerman's trouble finding his "phone"

Is it so far-fetched that he wanted to scare a "loving punk" who didn't react how he expected?

Also, you know why race was bought into this? In 2011, Zimmerman called the police a little over 80 times to report suspicious black men. At one point, he called the police to report a black boy aged 8 to 10.

Fact of the matter is, he profiled Trayvon because he was black. They got into a scuffle & Trayvon got the best of him. Had he not had the gun on him, he would've never approached him.

he had 2 cuts on the back of his head

one was 3cm and the other was .5cm

He required ZERO medical attention that night

The only eye witness said he heard nothing, no shouting or banging, just the gunshot. My only point is this didn't make the news past it's local area.

I really don't care for the Zimmerman case past the lie it fueled and was fueled by and that there was nowhere near enough evidence to prove any of the charges against him. Only two people really know what happened and nothing else can concretely prove it otherwise.

his nose was broke obviously he did need medical attention and you can get a concussion and brain damage without cuts on the back of your head if someone was pounding my head into the ground id do everything in my power too stop him too

is anyone actually surprised? A white guy kills a black youth and is not found guilty of any crime....it's not like this is new to our country...at all..

I thought he was mixed race?

most of us are mixed race. I am Merely referring to what he most closely resembles.

well in that case I would say he's hispanic, but whatever
