Losing a child is something no parent should ever go through.
It’s my belief that they’ve also been used and manipulated by a lot of people, and I truly hope they are able to make something good out of all this.
Zimmerman’s not a pariah, he’s a hero to gun nuts, vigilantes and racists all over the country. He’ll be raking in the money I’m sure.
He just got the legal stamp of approval for what he did, so if it has any effect it’ll be to encourage imitators.
I’m a gun nut. He’s no hero.
And the vast majority of the people at the 2 gun boards I frequent tend to agree with me.
He will be raking in the money, that’s for sure. The Zimmerman defense fund has collected more than half a million dollars, most of which will no longer be needed.
Dude, seek help.
$750k, last I checked. But the estimate I heard tonight put his debt to his attorneys at $1m.
But yeah, he’ll be able to make a ton of cash.
The comments on all the major message boards tonight are the most disgusting and racist I’ve ever seen.
I wonder if they’d be cheering if Martin had killed Zimmerman, claimed self defense, and been acquitted.
O’Mara is right on point with his criticism of the media.
The fuckin’ nuts from places like The Forum That Shall Not Be Named are going to cheer and celebrate. I think we all knew it was coming.
Fuck 'em.
The entire room here at the Republican event I’m working cheered loudly when the guy on stage announced the not guilty verdict.
It truly left me wondering what it was about the verdict that made this partisan crowd cheer so loudly.
Okay, I admit it didn’t take much wondering to come up with a plausible-seeming answer.
They’re all racists?
Please say that’s not the answer.
If they weren’t racist, they probably wouldn’t be Republican.
Come on.
Aight…cool, I guess.
You don’t have to be racist to be Republican, but you do have to be Republican to be a racist.
So a guy shoots an unarmed black teen to death and gets away with it. Every NRA member’s wet dream.
I hadn’t seen any overt racism until G-SE dropped his turd in this thread, even on Facebook. Some celebration, but I’m not ascribing that to racism without more.
Absolute BS.
It’s bullshit like this that makes people contribute to the NRA.
The Republicans have spent literally decades branding themselves as the party of white racism. By now anyone in the party is either a racist, psychopathic enough that they don’t care if they are supporting racism, or engaging in a ridiculous level of denial of reality. Being surprised at the pervasive racism of the Republicans is like joining the KKK and being surprised that they are racist.
The defense has cost at least $1M, maybe more.
So…hope and change, then?
