ever since this trial was thrust into the limelight, i've wondered about some of the people who are spewing their vitriol at every opportunity. everywhere i've looked i've seen people spreading out theories as if they were facts, fantasies based on nothing but their own bias and speculation that is nothing short of vile. zimmerman has been labeled a racist, though his past history might be said to depict him as anything but. he has been labeled a cold blooded murderer, though the last thing such a man would do is notify the authorities before committing his crime. he has been vilified, though a jury found him innocent, and his "victim" has been glorified, though he was certainly no choirboy. his life as he knew it is over, it will never be the same. he will be hounded over this until he dies and i don't doubt martin's face will haunt him for the rest of his days. i have to wonder why anyone would think any man would do this to himself intentionally. you might be tempted to say that he simply isn't too bright, but even the greatest fool must realize the implications of killing a man. his past shows no sign of the sort of hate it would take to do what the know-nothing mob is accusing him of. in fact, many portions of his life might be seen as pointing him in the opposite direction. so why is it anyone would think this man was anything more than someone who found himself in a difficult situation and reacted as any one of us would? if you try to put aside the emotional aspects of this incident, reason simply doesn't support anything else.
not a supporter, just a man who isn't caught up in all the drama. i've looked at the evidence as best i could and haven't seen anything to warrant the outpouring of venom this whole thing has engendered. i can understand that there are certainly questions, but most of them can never be answered. just what made this case such a target for everyone and what made the man himself worthy of so much hatred? if anything, all this garbage has turned me more to his side than anything else.
So, you haven't seen any of the garbage, venom, insults and vitriol thrown at the deceased and his family?
You don't see anything wrong with Zimmy profiling an innocent black teen for the purpose of creating a danger to himself so to give armed pursuit and shooting him to death ?
partisan hacks, that's who. they'll let not tragedy go unexpoited. that's ok-GZ has a plan... View attachment 21079
what i have seen is a reaction to the media campaign against an average american joe. what i have seen is an incident that plays out hundreds of times a year turned into a circus, all for the furthering of an agenda. as usual, you have put that victim-hood spin on the situation and you've done it in your typical semi-literate style. what he did was follow what he believed was a suspicious character through the darkened streets of his own crime-ridden neighborhood. it is the media and race-baiting glory-hounds that have given him all these other agendas.
So, you haven't seen any of the garbage, venom, insults and vitriol thrown at the deceased and his family?
http://youtu.be/PZ1FZM248Ks I love how the left considers a crisis good. Here is just another GOOD ( to the left I'm sure) crisis the left will use.
Reckless behavior whether legal or not has consequences. Killing is not OK George's life will never be the same.
that can't be all there is to it. there are the usual cause-heads, eager to jump on any bandwagon, but why is it so important to bring this one guy into the spotlight and destroy him? that's all they are doing. all this talk about a systemic cause is garbage and we know it. they have made it personal and that is no way to have a real policy debate. just look at the few replies i've gotten here. all they consist of are emotional trash talk and unfounded accusation. they ignore any real fact in favor of hysteria.
Yeah. Jesse & Rev. Al would be nowhere to be found. No race baiting would occur. Therefore, no national news interest.
if martin were white no one would have cared and the media would have ignored the whole mess. zimmerman might well have never gone to trial and you would have no one to put on a pedestal.
I agree with you. Zimmerman's persecution is unjustified and possibly based on his Hispanic ethnicity. There are numerous cartoons of him that remind me of the ugly 'Frito Bandido' commercials. He's clearly a progressive Democrat for crying out loud! The LAST group the Democrats want to alienate is prosperous progressive Hispanics! The left seems to be cheerfully disemboweling themselves over this. Remember, Obama won because a record number of Hispanic and blacks voted for him instead of Romnoid. This is idiocy!
just whose reckless behavior are we talking about here? the behavior of a man who hoped to stem a rising tide of crime in his neighborhood or that of the young man who attacked him? i know, i know - you don't think zimmerman was attacked. you might think that he was the one who attacked, even though he landed no blows. you might think that all he was interested in was killing some young black punk. the fact remains that this scenario simply doesn't make any sense. perhaps you think it's perfectly alright to attack someone just because they make you nervous.
Of course he/she has. but that's doesn't matter. it's the total absolute unrelenting ignorance that being exploited here. It's designed to create flamebait threads that have no merit whatsoever. Mods close this stupid ass unimportant thread.
what's wrong, don't you like having your motives investigated? that is, after all, what i intended this thread to be about. it is the motives behind our actions that are of the utmost importance. that the entire trial was a farce is obvious. there was never any evidence to prove murder or even manslaughter, there was only idle speculation and agenda driven politics. i've watched as supposedly rational adults have attached motive to the incident without the slightest shred of evidence and used their own fears to crucify one man. panels have been convened in the media with the express purpose of denying that our judicial system has any validity and the white house itself has stepped in to make claims they have no proof of. is it all to score political points or is it just our own insecurities coming into play? is it that we all fear our own racial biases or are folks so foolish as to believe they have none?
