Eh, he turned down the opportunity to be a C.O.P., which would’ve come with a nifty uniform and official car and whatnot. Idiot and schmuck I can go along with. But, ultimately, like you say, not guilty.
Most people don’t play vigilante and kill other people, either. But plenty of people do think like that; I’ve seen plenty of outright gloating over Treyvon’s death right here on this forum.
And plenty of people believe the folks on the Travel Channel actually communicate with the spirits of the dead.
Fuck 'em. It doesn’t matter.
This is probably much closer to the truth. But still… I hope.
At least they’d spell his name right :smack:
I’ve seen a couple of drive by posters gloating, none of the main participants.
Absolutely. Though I’d worry what if Concerned Citizen is not happy with my pointedly ignoring him.
And while it’s a nice civic thought, jtgain, when a large fraction of the populace is armed (be it gun or blade) it’s* not* prudent to rush out to break up other people’s fights.
To be fair, you covered most of the salient points in your OP.
Lets see.
Horrific death? Check.
Slipshod police work? Check.
Incompetent DA’s office? Check.
Media Circus? Double check.
Okay, must be Florida.
miss elizabeth, this is not personally directed at you, but seriously…what the fuck?
Are there outright racists out there who would just love the opportunity to kill a ________ person? Yes, of course!
But where is the evidence that George Zimmerman is one of them? He didn’t, as the media initially reported, mutter anything about “fucking coons” over the phone, which is one of the things that so incensed the nation in the first place. Just the fact that he shot TM doesn’t automatically make him a racist. Maybe, just maybe, he was getting the shit kicked out of him and used his gun in self defense.
Right?
ETA: Several of them are over at the Behind Your Back place, snarking anonymously.
Cool. So…anything else?
Doubt I’ve ever said this in response to one of your posts, but +1.
The verdict is in…
Not guilty.
And justice is served.
Not. Guilty. 10 pm on a Saturday.
Right outcome. Glad this awful case is over; may we never hear from George Zimmerman again.
Needed a killin’, got a killin’.
Glad that’s over.
Yep.
Oh, i doubt it’s over.
It is over. Don’t think bar complaints or discipline will follow.
