George Zimmerman Found Not Guilty

[Anomaly]

In a court of law by fallible humans.

It will be interesting to see who chides to react with hate and bring violence.

State Attorney is already on TV talking about the justice system's due process model and how violence is not the answer.

Good to see you back.  

 

I was just talking about this at dinner with my Dad and Uncle.  One hardcore liberal, the other die-hard conservative.  It was an interesting dinner.

Just proves how racist this country is.

Could be.  Except karma doesn't exist.

I'm really feelin' the love here. . . .

I honestly haven't looked into it enough to care. But from what I've gathered: Zimmerman was being stupid. At the same time, I don't know enough to decide on whether or not his life was in danger.

Karma is a heretical pagan belief.

My knowledge of this case is entirely based on what friends/family have discussed so I really don't have an opinion on the verdict.  Whether he is actually guilty or not though, this is a devastating blow to the parents of Trayvon.  Their son is dead and they want someone to be punished for it but the man they believe is responsible will walk free.  I can't imagine that feeling.

There's no question George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin.  The question is whether he is guilty of murder, or if he killed Trayvon in self-defense.

And you don't know if karma exist...Something like it seems to though...Sorta the what goes up must come down kind of thing....Heaven and hell...Purgatory...Choices bring cause and effect...Mabey its not karma but its something close to it...

George was really feelin the love also when he identified himself as a neighborhood watch guy...O wait...

Florida's law is clear. You are allowed to stand your ground even if you're stupid.

Stanford is one of those traditionally black towns that had the misfortune of being close enough to Orlando that it got bedroom community encroachment, and that means gated communities. He's guilty of being a racist, an idiot, a cop wannabe, but not of murder.

I think the Catholic equivalent would be Divine Providence.  But it is very different than karma.  I do agree, karma as an idea has some hints of truth. But I stand by my previous statement.  Karma, as conceptualized in Indian religions, doesn't exist.  

 

I don't mean to beat up on you.  It was somewhat of a reflex, when I see something wrong I tend to correct.  Nothing personal.  

 

I'll stop derailing this now.  Apologies.

All the actual evidence is that Martin attacked first, and that he was on top of Zimmerman beating the $#!+ out of him before he pulled his gun.  Self-defense was likely - at worst, given the known facts, Zimmerman might have been guilty of manslaughter.

 

 

A decision in a court of law should be based in the law, not in feelings.

Heretical as that notion may be for many in 21st century America.

What actual evidence do you have that Zimmerman harbored racist beliefs or motivations?

 

Again, only in America can an Obama-voting Hispanic become the poster boy for white racism.

 

 

 

And why in the heck is this particular shooting death trial, as opposed to countless others in this country, of such vital importance to our country that it's become almost the sole media obsession?
