ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Inflammatory push poll. Over the top inappropriate for DU.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jul 21, 2013, 09:04 AM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: this is stupid
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No... I do not believe a poll like this belongs on DU either. Hide. Ohio Joe

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I think he should have stayed in his car, like he was instructed to do. Sivafae Jul 2013 #35

he was NOT instructed to stay in his car by anyone hfojvt Jul 2013 #74

Zimmerman asked the police dispatcher if he should follow Trayvon DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2013 #81

actually it was the dispatcher who asked hfojvt Jul 2013 #90

I think Zimmerman should have stayed at home... hunter Jul 2013 #3

I'd never advocate "just taking the ass-whooping." Lizzie Poppet Jul 2013 #8

I agree. Unfortunately, as B37 showed, the jury was weighted with bigots and gutless people. Hoyt Jul 2013 #15

Yep. I disagree with how the law is written. Lizzie Poppet Jul 2013 #19

I agree that Zimmerman was asking for trouble and was the responsible party XemaSab Jul 2013 #30

There was no ass whopping TorchTheWitch Jul 2013 #9

This chick??? n/t BronxBoy Jul 2013 #10

One of things that really ticks me off about the trial, was way people ridiculed Trayvon's friend. Hoyt Jul 2013 #16

Wow...second time in one thread we're in agreement! Lizzie Poppet Jul 2013 #20

Yep. Did you see her on any of the talk shows? I thought she was delightful and wish her well. Hoyt Jul 2013 #26

I think he should have taken the ass whooping treestar Jul 2013 #13

That's an odd use of reasonable doubt cthulu2016 Jul 2013 #14

Isn't it obvious anyone who is pissed at Z didn't care if he got injured or killed? dkf Jul 2013 #17

Not when you started the crap, and should have handled it like an adult, rather than Hoyt Jul 2013 #27

Ha! So you admit it. You don't care if he died. dkf Jul 2013 #50

God you are obtuse. I'm saying he started the crap and should have handled it differently. Hoyt Jul 2013 #53

Exactly, you think because he followed Trayvon he should have allowed himself to be killed. dkf Jul 2013 #55

Zimmerman was never in danger of being killed. yardwork Jul 2013 #77

So, you believe that you have the right to provoke someone into a fight and kill them Yavin4 Jul 2013 #84

Hoyt, DFK is being purposely obtuse...I posted a thread that illustrated what he SHOULD have Ecumenist Jul 2013 #85

Zimmerman should have waited til he was unconscious. Lol. dkf Jul 2013 #91

Good point about the goose eggs. I always figured those were scratches on his head from the tree. Hoyt Jul 2013 #99

An adult would have stayed in his car and waited for the police ProudToBeBlueInRhody Jul 2013 #58

Because men like to forcibly rape 17 year old 6 ft tall boys? dkf Jul 2013 #60

It's as much a reasonable fear as the fear of a black kid walking around your neighborhood (n/m) ProudToBeBlueInRhody Jul 2013 #68

Maybe for a little kid that can be grabbed. dkf Jul 2013 #70

EVER HEARD OF PRISONS OR Penitentiaries? MEN RAPE 6 FOOT tall men ALL.THE.TIME! Ecumenist Jul 2013 #103

One person is dead and the other has scratches? Pisces Jul 2013 #48

You think he would have experienced not a single other injury had he allowed himself to beat up for dkf Jul 2013 #56

The police were en route. 2 more minutes and a teenager would still be alive. Zimmerman couldn't put Pisces Jul 2013 #73

No sirens. How does Zimmerman know how long and what he can withstand. dkf Jul 2013 #92

AND, when asked IMMEDIATELY after the incident if he was screaming, he is on video saying Ecumenist Jul 2013 #105

No witness to the actual fight, sorry Charlie. Rex Jul 2013 #64
