George Zimmerman Verdict: NOT GUILTY!

[brushfire]

I am so glad this is over.

I'm afraid that it may have just begun. The political/media propaganda has already convicted GZ in the eyes of many. There are swarms of intellectually lazy, impressionable people who will have it out for GZ, for the rest of his life.

Any twitter folks seeing any reports of riots? I'm supposed to go into the city tomorrow and am wondering if I should be paranoid or not.

I'm in harlem across the street from a major park.

Surprisingly quiet.

Rioters are worried they become the next trayvon if they keep acting like savages.

The black community is equally aware of processes regarding the militarized police state. Is actually a golden moment here if the romper room type narrative that is tried and true doesn't trump the terms. I'm just kind of observing.

This is the risk involved with carrying a loaded weapon. It may get used. And when there exists the possibility that the assailant may overpower you and use the gun on you, it stirs you to act more quickly and sometimes, prematurely or irrationally.

Had Zimmerman not carried a gun, would he have got out of his car and pursued Martin? I'm not sure.

If he wasn't carrying a gun, would this just remained a slight ass beating and everyone would have went home that night?

Would it have even have occurred?

These are the risks involved in a citizenry which is armed. But these are the risks that must be faced in order to have a free society.

Justice has prevailed tonight, but no one is a winner. May all those affected find peace, especially the family of Martin who have lost him all over again tonight.

I hope so, otherwise there will be a lot of blood shed. Unfortunately I don't think these people think much, they just react.

How exactly can you prove this? Its a win win for you cos if black savages rioted then you can say they riot when they don't get their way and if they do not riot then they were going to riot but failed to do so because of an armed population.

This is how I'm responding to all the progs:

Rioters take the advantedge of the lack of proper enforcement of laws to commit crimes against innocent people while they more way likely then not get away with their crimes. They are the scum of society and are savages. There is nothing wrong with thinking rioters are unfit for a civilised society and should be treated like criminals.

For all who are curious....I just found this: Zimmerman volunteered for a lie detector test the day after the shooting, and passed.

Florida Stand Your Ground Law is worth reading.

If you are at a gas station and see a pack of wild youths attacking someone... You can kill them all in defense of the victim.

Property? You can blow someone away to protect your property

It takes Castle Doctrine to a much higher level. No matter where you are... it is now your castle. Your car, your perimeter, your friend's house, etc etc.

Long story short. Left wing whackos go bat shit over the Stand Your Ground laws as it truly turns the tables and turns the aggressors into the victims. Additionally, it purposely wipes out civil cases... If you blow someone away and it is a justified killing... you can't be sued by the family.

I have a lot of problems living in Florida but the gun laws here are not one of them

How in the holy hell are they saying this is a civil rights issue? What is there reasoning here?

He said rioters and you say black savages?

What evidence shows Zimmerman heading back to his car? How did he get out of his car with his loaded gun?

There is no evidence- only Zimmerman's word.

 

[Ranger29860]

There is no evidence- only Zimmerman's word.

And that's the whole point. There is no evidence that contradicts his claim that he was heading back. He didn't have to prove the claim, the state had to prove the opposite and failed to do so. End of story.

 

[The Northbreather]

I bet Zimmerman gets a P.R. team and they recommend a live interview.

Stalking has a legal definition. What GZ did was not considered "stalking" legally speaking.

To be convicted of stalking in most states, the stalker must display a criminal intent to cause fear in the victim. Various statutes require the conduct of the stalker to be "willful," "purposeful," "intentional," or "knowing." Many states do not require proof that the defendant intended to cause fear as long as he intended to commit the act that resulted in fear. In these states, if the victim is reasonably frightened by the alleged perpetrator's conduct, the intent element of the crime has been met.
