Yes, Zimmerman is a douchebag... NaturalHigh Jul 2013 #1

Um, your vigilante hero stalked a guy around an apartment complex KamaAina Jul 2013 #2

He's far from being my "hero". (nt) Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #5

NO THEY DIDN'T ! olddots Jul 2013 #4

The evidence of guilt was there for all to see no matter how inept the prosecution DevonRex Jul 2013 #6

That's not true. The jurors were able to be objective, something that many people are not Honeycombe8 Jul 2013 #20

My comment stands as is. nt DevonRex Jul 2013 #24

of course backwoodsbob Jul 2013 #68

I hope to hear from the jury because I want to hear what I didn't hear. chelsea0011 Jul 2013 #8

That's absurd. Where's the PROOF Zimmerman acted in self defense? johnnyrocket Jul 2013 #9

According to the law, none is needed Shrek Jul 2013 #13

And prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. (nt) Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #17

So the law is: go shoot up a black kid at will. Claim self defense. Walk. johnnyrocket Jul 2013 #22

with that law, the state can expect a lot of killings treestar Jul 2013 #53

That's not where the burden of proof lay. Lizzie Poppet Jul 2013 #19

He is guilty....He should have kept his fat butt in his truck. Punkingal Jul 2013 #38

Are you implying it is against the law to get out of your truck? golfguru Jul 2013 #39

no, it's against the law to stalk someone so you can shoot them. HiPointDem Jul 2013 #46

The charge against GZ was not stalking golfguru Jul 2013 #51

it should have been one of the charges. the pedophile got off. maybe he'll get jail for molesting HiPointDem Jul 2013 #54

I agree, GZ could have been found guilty for stalking against golfguru Jul 2013 #55

Yes I am.. Punkingal Jul 2013 #47

The charge was not stalking, it was 2nd degree murder golfguru Jul 2013 #52

Bit of a non-sequitur there. Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #50

America is full of Zimmermans mstinamotorcity2 Jul 2013 #49

In cities like Chicago 500 blacks are murdered every year golfguru Jul 2013 #56

That is not true!!!!! mstinamotorcity2 Jul 2013 #61

My point is where is the outrage over 500 murders in Chicago? golfguru Jul 2013 #63

There is outrage. mstinamotorcity2 Jul 2013 #64

What did the prosecution have to prove? sadbear Jul 2013 #58

From the jury instructions: Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #59

I supposed with no reliable witnesses... sadbear Jul 2013 #60

The only injury Trayvon Martin had was his knuckles golfguru Jul 2013 #67

I suppose lingering is punishable by death, huh? sadbear Jul 2013 #70

Only if you try to bash someone's head on to concrete. n/t golfguru Jul 2013 #72

Doesn't look like he was trying very hard. sadbear Jul 2013 #75

I am at a loss at your Op. The jury got it all wrong. akbacchus_BC Jul 2013 #65

A few DUers are doing a happy dance after the verdict Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #69

Nobody should be doing a "happy dance" over this horrible tragedy. Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #71

Well, you seem pretty pleased with the outcome Scootaloo Jul 2013 #81

Stating that the jury correctly followed their instructions is not the same as being "pleased". Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #82

I wonder why you need to state it though? Scootaloo Jul 2013 #85

If you think I'm a "smug asshole", find my posts offensive, and feel like I talk down to people... Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #86

There is nothing happy about this case! golfguru Jul 2013 #74

Blame the law, not the jury. Jackpine Radical Jul 2013 #77

Zimmerman is an obvious liar with no credibilty... unapatriciated Jul 2013 #79

Did you find Jonathan Good to be a credible witness? Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #87

I didn't follow the trial matt819 Jul 2013 #80

I said pretty much from the beginning, a plea-bargain with some jail time would probably have been Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #83
