Jury Finds George Zimmerman Not Guilty In Death of Trayvon Martin

I hope all the people on twitter, and those celebrities who are vowing to kill George Zimmerman out of their concern for Trayvon Martin's death go to Chicago. Black kids are getting killed there on a regular basis.

I am glad it is over....except that is will never be over for Zimmerman. I think Martin's parents have acted with more class than many others, including our President who essentially took sides from the beginning. I pray for them to find peace.

I am glad it is over....except that is will never be over for Zimmerman.

My genuine hope is that Zimmerman is unable to live a normal life for the rest of his life. Although he is not physically imprisoned anymore, the bars and chains will be psychological for him.

I think one of the most dramatic and telling parts was the four minutes of silence the defense used during closing arguments. This is the amount of time Mr. Martin could have run or walked away. I believe that was how long his call was with the young woman.

Instead of calling his friend, I wish Martin had called 911 to report the crazy ******* following him. Things would have had a much different ending.

Instead, two lives are ruined. One is dead and the other will be hunted by angry people seeking revenge.

So far I've heard no reports of riots. Hopefully it will be a calm night. If not then I hope business owners are locked and loaded to prevent thugs from rioting and looting their stores.

Zimmerman did nothing illegal. It is not illegal to follow someone. The "wannabe cop" was attacked by a "wannabe gang-banger." Seems funny how the prosecution tried to claim Zimmerman was the aggressor and the only wounds Martin had was abrasions on his knuckles and a gunshot wound, where Zimmerman had a messed up nose, and lacerations on the back of his head. The prosecution tried to label his injuries as minor. I wondered if the same injuries had been on a woman and a man had caused them would they still be considered minor injuries?

Maybe now that the trial is over they will quit using the picture of the sweet little 12 year old and use the more recent picture of the 17 yr old, 6'2", 185lb former football player, with a gold grill, tats, and marijuana in his system that was in the neighborhood only because he recently was expelled from school for punching his bus driver.

The police dept. and the County that did the investigation declined to charge Zimmerman due to lack of evidence. Only after the race baiters stepped in and forced the hand of the State were charges filed. Then the special prosecutor was handed this dog of a case. It was not winnable from the start. It really showed when almost every witness for the prosecution helped the defense more than the prosecution.

This should never be over for Zimmerman, as he snuffed out the life of another human being. Nobody would have died last year if only he had obeyed the 911 operator's directive to remain in his car, but the wannabe cop just couldn't resist pursuing the 'suspicious' black kid with the hoodie.

My genuine hope is that Zimmerman is unable to live a normal life for the rest of his life. Although he is not physically imprisoned anymore, the bars and chains will be psychological for him.

If ever there was an example of how one single decision can alter the course of your life, this is it.

If Trayvon had used those four minutes to avoid George Zimmerman he would be alive.

If George Zimmerman had stayed in his car and driven home, his life would still be normal.

The women on the jury could not reach any other verdict and live with themselves. I almost feel more sympathy for them than anybody else.
