In reply to the discussion: Zimmerman apologists completely and absolutely disgust me [View all]calimary
(81,127 posts)Sure seems like a cold-blooded killing to me, based on everything I've seen, heard, and read. Understanding even just a little teeny bit about this guy's mentality. Judge-jury-executioner-in-chief, one-stop-shopping, and self-anointed, to boot. All the conversation about "reasonable doubt." I just don't see ANY doubt here, reasonable or not. Trayvon Martin's "crime," it seems, was walking outside on a rainy night while black. According to this asshole who clearly seems to have concluded as much and took the law into his own hands.
But knowing how these things somehow go - I'm just hoping for manslaughter. Dear God, if this thug gets off - who's his next target? Is ANY black person safe in the neighborhood around this guy? Because he'll view this as approval of what he did. Justification for what he did. Validation of what he did. And others like him will take away that same conclusion. Which scares the livin' daylights outta me!
I live in California. This is in Florida. But I don't feel safe. There are self-anointed vigilantes everywhere. MORE innocent victims will pay for this, if George Zimmerman doesn't have to.
