O. J. Simpson - Casey Anthony - George Zimmerman

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Having a book ghost written for him exploiting his cowardly killing of an unarmed kid.
Well, at least we know the title won't be "If I Did It" since that part was never in question. Maybe something like, "I Fought the Law and the Law Lost."

Now, now people. Bitterness is not good for the soul. One should have faith in the American justice system.

Well, juries make mistakes, as they did in this case. Someone else
will have to mete out Georgie's punishment. Keep your eye on that
rear view mirror, Zimmy.

I'm no more bitter than I would be over any other sporting event that I was on the losing side of rooting or betting, which is what this trial became. Somebody is going to win and somebody is going to lose any event. Of course, in this case, it wasn't just the prosecution that lost.

I wonder if all that indignation would have been present if Zimmerman had been a Black man?

Methinks a whole new scenario would have presented itself; i.e. an armed Black wanna-be cop shooting another Black man.......

All the pissin' and moanin' thus far seems to be centered on their respective race.......

People kill other people every day....why should this story make national headlines otherwise?

Race did of course make this more interesting. But it was also the idea of a young man getting killed on his way home by a vigilante type. In my view, I would have found the shooter guilty of manslaugter no matter what the race of either of them. But it also wouldnt have attracted quite somuch attention if Zimmerman had been charged immediately, as undoubtedly Martin would have been had Zimmerman been the one killed.

From reading and watching all the news accounts, it appears the media is keeping the pot stirred, and the Black community is using the "Cracker-ass"
and "remember Trayvon" attitudes as an excuse to stir civil unrest.

Some Sanford residents struggle to cope with Zimmerman verdict

I fail to see any mental "struggling" in this photo...what I see is the beginning of a pot about to boil over.
Look out all you retailers who sell flatscreens, computers, tablets, and IPhones......

Valarie Houston, pastor of Allen Chapel Church gave a fiery sermon dedicated to Martin and his family Sunday morning. The wood-paneled, modest chapel was only about half full with congregants, many of them wearing matching red T-shirts. Houston said a prayer thanking the Lord for sending Trayvon Martin “as a sacrifice for all of us.” She said his death revealed “injustices that lie in Sanford” and that he gave “his life to protect the youth who will come after him.”
Good grief. Flammatory sermons.

Te Rodney King beaters got off because of prosecutorial arrogance in overcharging. Good reason for riots. Zimmerman got off because of a very narrow reading of a law very fa vorable to shooters. Good reason for protests not particu.lady against the verdict but against the law that allows someone to claim "oh me, I fear for my life" and walk away because the only person who could disagree is dead.

Go fuck yourself ohbuttboy.....it is funny how you numb nuts are all up in arms about a hispanic killing a black in self defense, and acquitted on charges, but won't mutter a word about black on black or black on white crime. What about you...got the guts to take up a discussion about Antonio West??

Boy you are really obsessed with butts and bungholes. Maybe you should spend some time thinking about other things every now and then so you won't prattle on like this. You're really embarrassing yourself, almost as much so as your pathetic defense of your boy toy Solar.

What made this case unusual wasn't race itself, but how race affected the responses. Leave the races the same and change the circumstances slightly and nobody pays any attention.

What about Antonio West? The baby that got shot in a robbery and the kids who did it got arrested? Or somebody else?
