Someone one will hunt him down. Just like he did TM. No skin off my nose.

Don't be dressed in a hoodie lurking around a neighborhood you don't have any business being in. You know he was up to no good. He was staying there with his Dad. Did you follow any of the evidence that wasn't George Zimmerman's?

He then left his vehicle within two seconds of telling the dispatcher "he's running." That's not some guy just watching and changing his mind from going to the store. IMO.

He was following him because he was neighborhood watch. Treyvon turned on him and attacked. Treyvon initiated the confrontation. If Zimmerman was "hunting" would he have called 911? Ummm.... No.... He went hunting after the 911 call.

I didn't watch the case closely but from what I heard the prosecution did a piss poor job. Just a shitty situation that seems like it could have been avoided and they both reacted in ways they shouldn't have. I'd be staying in doors if I lived in parts of Florida tonight.

Great verdict!
I was watching Sharpton after the verdict on MSNBC for giggles.

He was following Treyvon because he was acting suspicious. Treyvon turned and attacked him. Zimmerman shot him in self defense. Bottom line - Don't bring a knife to a gun fight. Stalking and killing someone because they were "acting suspicious" is perfectly okay? Wow, my mind is blown. I just don't even have the words...

Guess I'd better stay indoors, never visit an affluent neighborhood, and never wear a hoodie because I could get followed and killed for suspicious behavior. Oh wait - I live in a pretty well-to-do area of town - obviously I need to move to a place where I will fit in better.

In case you missed that part of it. Even the jury agreed. Shocking, right? yeah - AFTER Zimmerman went after him and provoked. I don't really think Z should have gotten murder, but at least he should have gotten some lesser charge like manslaughter or something. For once I'm glad I live here - in a place where what he did wouldn't fly.

Give me a fucking break. okay, then what is "acting suspicious"? If you can give me good examples of what that was, I'll concede your point. But NEVER will I agree that Z should have gone after Martin. This whole thing would have been avoided had he stopped trying to be a "hero".

The evidence presented showed self defense. The jury was not given that option. They reached the appropriate verdict for the case they were given. Oh, it was for murder 1? Fuck.

OK, so I really didn't follow the case at all - question for those who thinks Z is guilty - why do you think he wanted to kill some random kid? If he didn't do it for self-defense - why DID he do it?

It was either murder 1 or they threw in a manslaughter verdict at the end but not involuntary. It was a bad case from the beginning. They should have gone the manslaughter route from the get go! They should have known no one would convict for murder... And they didn't!!!! Did they think they'd get a bunch of morons on the jury? It's like the OJ trial where they messed things up so much that they had to let him off....

I do not think it's fair to follow an unarmed child, lose a fight and shoot him. I'm sad Zimmerman was not held responsible since he initiated the incident in the first place. I don't think it was murder or that he set out to kill this young man. I do think he is a coward, handled it poorly, and as an adult showed very bad decision making. Too bad somebody lost their life because of that.
