I'll stand with the government and support them 100% ... the jurors might have found Zimmerman not guilty. But that doesn't mean he's not responsible for the death of an unarmed kid.
So what you are saying is that blacks can do what they want to? Act how they want to but no one else can?
Why is everyone assuming that this 6' tall pot smoking thugged out punk was some innocent child?
If some one attacks some one else which is what Martin did to Zimmerman then that person has the right to act with force.
Zimmerman didn't profile martin he was a concerned citizen checking on his neighborhood. Which is I can say is far better than most of Americans who have a couch permanently sewn to their asses...
It's ironic that people act like this punk was innocent when in reality if he was smoking pot and wanting to buy a gun which is illegal for someone who is 17 that everyone feels he was innocent. What other sorts of illegal activities was he into besides just these?
Wake up USA I know you are obese and need to eat everything but stop eating the $hit sandwich the main stream media is feeding you!

That was for the defense to do and obviously they did a darn good job because, remember, Zimmerman was found none guilty, my friend by a jury of his peer.

Oh...I agree...the prosecution sucked...AND they over-reached with 2nd degree murder.
I don't know what else the prosecution could have done.
They had very little to work with. That is why the DA originally decided not to bring charges, lack of evidence.
Most of their witnesses benefited the defense.

I think the prosecution could have gone for a lesser charge with success. Negligent Homicide, Manslaughter...something that simply spoke to the fact that if George Zimmerman hadn't been chasing the boy, despite being advised by police to stop, with a loaded weapon, the boy would still be alive.
They over-reached.

They definitely over-reached.
The original thoughts by the cop on scene was to file for manslaughter, I believe, but the DA said that it wouldn't stick. So they didn't file any charges to begin with.

if you've seen the juror, who came out and spoke, she said they were split 3 to 3 and the 3 that wanted to find him guilty wanted to convict one way or the other. but they went over the law and evidence bit by bit and it did not support any of the charges. they had no choice except to vote not guilty.edit on 16-7-2013 by hounddoghowlie because: (no reason given)

I saw Harry Reid talking about how he wants to keep going with this as well.
I understand that civil cases require less evidence to make their case ....
but seriously .... it's just not there.
