May the asshole Zimmerman rot in hell. What a travesty of justice that he got away with murder.

he stalked and murdered that boy and got away with it - when Zimmerman produced a weapon Trayvon faught for his life....it was Trayvon who was "standing his ground", not Zimmerman. The jury took the word of that murdering piece of shit Zimmerman.

I explain that Skittles was 25 pounds of solid black feline love. But now I also add that I consider "Skittles" it to be a poignant reminder in memory of Trayvon Martin. Yes indeed.

He hunted down a young man who wasn’t committing any crime, attacked and murdered him.

I’d love to see Zimmerman’s ass in jail for something else.
