George Zimmerman

[Yahtzee]

Do you think the ruling was justified on this blockbuster, over hyped, politicized, and retarded case.

On the Zimmerman trial:

Its hard to act like you know the entire details of the trial when you are nothing but a bunch of gawkers who can only get what the media gives you. In short though, if you've read anything in this case, it is clear as day that the prosecution had almost no argument, when conviction is to occur when there is reason beyond doubt. Execution was a little far, and manslaughter would have been the only thing had he actually been convicted.

I know many of you are upset, but I reiterate once again, we weren't in that court room, and those jurors had to eat sleep and breathe that trial, they are more fully aware of the situation than anyone.

What's happened? Tv blew up a while ago and haven't seen anything on the news for a while.

[Yahtzee]

Zimmerman was ruled not guilty due to there being no evidence...

[Red]

I'm not even going to touch this debate, not even if I had a 39 and a half foot pole.

[Leetgrain]

Again... what?

[Dante]

Again... what?

I have no clue what this is about.

[Obviously not Gopib]

I think there's going to be a goddamn riot because of this. Maybe.

IMO He isn't guilty of murder. He is Guilty of poor judgement, and possibly Manslaughter though. He may not have murdered, but hes still a bad guy.

[Dante]

Someone explain please I have no idea who this is and what happened. Sounds like a Murder case and people are upset of the outcome.

Zimmerman is that white guy that killed Trayvon Martin. He claims he was only using Florida's "Stand your ground" rule and that it was completely in self-defense but what everyone is led to believe if that Trayvon didn't do shit and the dude got killed for no reason.

Basically.

Yep, basically. Zimmerman didn't do anything technically illegal. Morally wrong, sure... But criminal, no. There just wasn't enough evidence to convict him even if he did do something criminal.

I was sick of hearing about this idiotic trial the second it popped up years ago.

Wasn't the shooting just last year? By the way there's already a ridiculously detailed wiki page for this trial, for those that don't know what's being discussed.

White guy? He identifies as Hispanic.

Basically this would be a non-issue, but the media decided to blow it up into a huge race issue. No, don't mind the fact that people in Detroit get killed over something as simple as condoms, lets put a huge race spin on this thing in Florida and sell some news!

Or this excellent article. This pretty much sums it up: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/07/14/zimmerman-trayvon-martin-nbc-news-column-rieder/2516251/
