Pretty disgusted actually, he IS responsible, and should be held accountable. But since the only two options were murder, and manslaughter... He gets to be free. Now he can continue to be mr wannabe cop. Bet you in a few years you'll see him involved in a similar case.


You can't punish people for defending themselves.


Then I can only hope that any child you have/may have never suffer the same fate, and you watch while the man who killed your child gets to walk free and never suffer any consequences for his actions because the other person claims "self defense"

Again, this IS zimmermans fault. He instigated it, and I don't truly believe that he is innocent. I believe he is guilty, he WANTED to kill Martin from the second he thought "punk isn't getting away". But because the law is "innocent until proven guilty" there wasn't enough physical evidence to convict.
 
Bottom line is Zimmerman should have NEVER been charged or tried in the first place.

Zimmerman was INNOCENT of any crime.

He used his legal rights under Florida law to protect himself against a serious, unprovoked, aggressive threat and he feared for his life.


Martin initiated the reaction from Zimmerman, you CANNOT beat the [censored] out of a neighborhood watchman simply because he was being followed.

No, Zimmerman neutralized an individual that was posing an aggressive, potentially deadly physical threat to his well being.

Martin made his choice and suffered the consequences under Florida law.

Way to go zimmy? Way to go zimmy? Are you [censored] serious? Someones child is DEAD, because this man thought he would play cop. Your reaction is highly inappropriate, I think.

Unprovoked? Not a chance. No matter WHAT you say, even if Martin DID attack him, it WAS provoked. If someone was following you alone, at night in the dark, would YOU not feel entitled to defend yourself? I bet Martin did.

But because everyone is afraid they are going to lose their guns, they are going to be desperate for anybody to prove their side is right.

You said it. This man will always be a murderer to Martins parents, the man who shot and killed their son. I think people should remember that. I hope you all sleep soundly tonight, revelling in someone elses misery, because one man wanted to play cop.

I'm not anti gun at all, but the attitude and reactions I'm seeing are disgusting in every way.
 
Sad.

I hope someone stalks Zimmerman and shoots him when he confronts them.

The good thing is that his life is ruined and his name is mud after this fiasco. He is forever going to be branded as a killer that dodged a bullet.

If my son is a thug who assaults someone when verbally provoked, then I would consider myself a failure as a parent. That would be my sorrow, not that my son got shot by a guy who was defending himself against my failure.

Zimmerman may be at fault for Martin's death, but he was apparently not guilty of any crime. If you kick in my door I will be at fault for your death, but I will not be guilty of any crime.

Okay, then I'll put it in very simple terms...

If you spill my blood, you will die, and the only criminal will be you.

Please. Here is the deal here.

The key here is innocent until proven guilty, and reasonable doubt.


Basically, because this man claims self defense, there has to be evidence to prove otherwise. Right? Now nobody else saw this. At all. So he CLAIMS that Martin attacked him. Do we know if he did or not? Nope. Will we ever? Nope. Was zimmerman actually shooting in TRUE self defense? Possibly. Do I think he was? No.

Here is the problem with the stand your ground law as written. Basically, Zimmerman was able to claim that it was self defense, and because there is NO EVIDENCE to the contrary, he gets away with it. He wanted to shoot Martin, it's obvious. Who is irresponsible enough to walk around with a loaded gun? Or did he specifically load the gun, because he had every intention of shooting zimmerman. Maybe Zimmerman grabbed Martin, and martin fought back, like any reasonable person would. And then zimmerman shot him.

The truth is NOBODY KNOWS. The reason he was acquitted? Lack of physical evidence. All the logic and reason based on Zimmermans history of a wannabe cop and obvious lies says that he is guilty. But physical evidence? Not enough of it.

So he walks free.
