George
Zimmerman found not guilty
Now that he's free, he can go on eating burgers and pork skins. Enjoy your freedom, asshole.
Once
the prosecution brought out Trayvon Martin's “girlfriend”, I knew
the case was lost. The defense could make this kid out to be ghetto
and evoke fear in the jury. This really pisses me off, because I
have lived the moments that Trayvon Martin encountered that night.
While I didn’t have a gun pulled out on me, I’ve had people
literally follow me around parking lots and around stores because of
my skin color. I’ve had police stop me while biking around
the city because I fit a description of a car theft.
The Martin vs Zimmerman thing
went too far. There was a fight and Martin was killed. It
was terrible that not even the police bothered to investigate the
shooting, and refuse to charge Zimmerman. That’s because no
one in that seems to care that another black kid was killed.
This was a child in high school, a weed smoker, but not involved in
gang activity. What would have happened if Martin were the one
that shot Zimmerman instead and had the right to carry a gun?
Martin would have been shot by the police officers or arrested for
murder bet on it.
Then
there is this from Reuters.com, ((The
panel of six women deliberated more than 16 hours over two days until
nearly 10 p.m. on Saturday (0200 GMT Sunday) before delivering the
verdict, which drew immediate condemnation from some civil rights
groups.))
Six
people on a jury and all of them white. Martin didn't have a chance.
I'm
a guy that strongly believes people should defend themselves and have
a right to carry a gun. I've had property stolen from me, and I think
everyone has the right to defend themselves and keep the stuff
they've bought. But, killing a kid that only went to a store to
pick up some stuff is taking it too far. The biggest problem I have
with this incident has to with Zimmerman's actions before the fight.
First,
he followed this kid around. Second, the 911 guy straight up told
Zimmerman NOT to follow the kid around after he made the call.
Zimmerman followed him anyway. No one is making a bigger case about
this fact. And, it shows that Zimmerman was not going to let this
guy get away despite the fact that Martin only had an ice tea and a
box of candy.
Trayvon
should have walked away and ignored this loser. Zimmerman had no
authority to keep him there. When you see someone like this
following, you don't stop to confront. You never know what a person
like has up their sleeves, as Trayvon found out. We, as black men,
have to learn that s backing down can lead to better end results. We
need to start teaching our children to back away from heated
encounters, because crazy and fearful people are arming themselves to
the teeth. Every time I've been stopped or confronted by concerned
citizens or cops, I've kept my cool.
However,
Martin didn't deserve to die no matter what happened that night.
And, the fact that Zimmerman got away with it sickens me. Let's not
forget a young boy died with only an ice tea in hand.
