[h=2]Reports: About 200 gather outside Zimmerman trial verdict to protest not-guilty verdict - @Juliea712[/h]

Someone on twitter just posted zimmermans address. Idiots.

Zimmerman's attorney now speaking to the press
Video: Jury finds Zimmerman not guilty

we were outfunded, enormously difficult; David and Goliath.

Prosecution was used to "getting away with things".

"If Zimmerman were black he would never have been made a scapegoat"

I know she's a favorite of some of the folks here...lol

She deleted the tweet. And then said "huh?" when called on it.

Now for the wrongful death civil lawsuit.

I don't think they can. If a court rules its self-defense in Florida then they can't sue in civil court. This is just what I heard, so don't trust it 100%.

And the Farcebook fun begins:

if yal see a Hispanic or a cracker slap tf outta them fa me........i just feel horrible fa his parents damn man..

My best attempt at an English translation: If anyone sees a White or Hispanic person, slap the fuck out of them for me. I just feel horrible for his parents. Damn man.

Yeah, Isn't that part of the Castle Doctrine?

And then people went back to their daily lives instead of going on about the Casey Anthony redux case- wait for the Lifetime made for TV movie- as they become legal experts and friends of both the Zimmerman and Martin clan.

But not really.

That actually kind of gives me hope. Obviously the OP is too lazy or busy to go slap the person themselves. Maybe most people will be in the same boat. No riots, just a few hundred folks and some photo ops.

If it's like Indiana, yes... once you have been justified in the use of deadly force, you are released from all legal jeopardy.

Just saw Sharpton saying a civil suit was the next thing to come up.

Edit:
Just heard Zimmerman's attorney say they would file for immunity if necessary.

If I were Zimmerman, I'd apply for asylum in Venezuela, STAT.

This guy just doesn't know when to quit when he's behind.

That guy seems dumb as a box of melted crayons.

So what is the approximate cost of this trial?

Zimmerman, although innocent, will be labeled all sorts of negative things for years to come and will very likely never be able to work in government from this point on—bad news concerning his goal at achieving a CJ degree, although he might strike it lucky working for a private security firm that believes in standing up for individual rights and self-preservation. Also he still faces a civil case, although it does not appear that he has much to offer financially anyways, and Treyvon’s family will have to get in the back of the line due to his outstanding college debts and his wife’s nurse training costs.

An IT manager lost his job for trying to do the right thing in exposing an asshat of a prosecutor.

The chief of police was removed from his position because he firmly stood by his officer’s determination that this was in-fact a justified homicide case.

Racial equality has sustained yet another blow.

...That is all I could think of for now.

* Although this case has all the makings of a Hollywood suspense movie, so there remains future profit for all parties involved.

I think all they did was rule not guilty for either charge, but maybe you're right. What I'm thinking of is that OJ Simpson was found liable for wrongful death even though he was also found not guilty in his trial.

This verdict has nothing to do with civil rights it is a self defense case.

One of the Trayvon lawyers just compared Trayvon to Medgar Evars and some other civil rights hero............
