PsychGrad
(239 posts)The more I see of him and his family, the more I worry that is what we are dealing with her. A true sociopath. NO conscience at all. And the belief that this was "god's will" and not a direct result from his bad decisions and inadequacies. This whole thing is crazy making, but I think this guy (and his family) already went around that bend a LONG time ago.

(7,499 posts)When he exited his vehicle, it was clear that he wanted a confrontation. He sought it out. He approached an unarmed teenager who was simply walking home with Skittles and a soft drink, looking forward to watching the All Stars game at home. GZ deliberately killed an unarmed kid who had committed no offense. Perhaps Trayvon fought back to protect himself - who wouldn't? But Zimmerman was hell bent on altercation. He was the aggressor, and ultimately, he was the assailant. He killed this kid in cold blood.

(115 posts)George set himself up to be in this position. He has never paid for the consequences of his violent acts. He will offend again.

(12,882 posts)I'd wonder out loud as to what the outcome would've been if Georgie hadn't been packin' that evening. Of course, we'd never have heard about it as this coward would've not pursued young Martin.
PsychGrad
(239 posts)I have a feeling that Trayvon would have handed him his ass, and that would have been that. And as much as I do not encourage or condone violence, I can't say that I would have blamed Trayvon. If I had been in his shoes, and some strange guy would not stop following me for that amount of time and for that length of distance, in the dark (which I am CONVINCED that is why Trayvon was looking around so much that night, not that he doesn't have the right to just walk "leisurely" and look around, jesus) I would have done the same exact thing... defended myself.

...for now, anyways.
But I seen a miracle yesterday in many of those protests all over the USA: Policemen were marching WITH the protestors.
A miracle happened yesterday: The People remained peaceful during the protests.
A miracle happened yesterday: many well-spoken educated young people of all colors stepped forward to speak on behalf of Travon Benjamin Martin.
A miracle happened yesterday: The People stood up for equal justice under the law for ALL, not just some.

PsychGrad
(239 posts)And, considering that his brother is much more attractive than he is (and I'm assuming more successful simply because George's life was always such a pathetic trainwreck) I think his brother added to his inferiority complex. When your only claim to success is that you "aren't black", well, it is just sickeningly sad. This guy - ugh.

(17,621 posts)I once saw a documentary about white supremacists where these skinheads were doing the Nazi salute and shouting "Selig heil!" Generally acting like morons. A young white lady -- blond hair, blue eyes, the whole bit -- said something like, "These idiots think they're such big shit just because they're white. So they're white -- big deal!".

(8,002 posts)But not without a lot of help along the way. The absence of evidence courtesy of rotten policing, judge shopping to get an accommodating Judge Nelson that caved time after time to defense badgering, a prosecution team that was in over their head and jurists that had no business being on that jury. With that much help, well "these a$$holes, they always get away". Another shameful chapter in American history.

Media Circuses muddy the waters .. far too much reality TV these days.
My personal view is manslaughter but neither a Juror nor the Judge

(2 posts)I'm an American who now lives in the United Kingdom. One common British misconception about Americans that I have to contend with is the belief that vast majority of white Americans are racist. The result of this case provides yet another wall for me to smash my head against.
