January 12, 201511 yr I couldnt get the link to load -- what did he actually do ? until I see what happened here I wouldnt change my mind on what happened with the young man last year . If someone is beating your head against concrete or the ground and I can shot him -- I'm shooting him. He hurled a wine bottle at his girlfriend's head.
January 12, 201511 yr Yep. It doesn't change any of the facts that the state had no case. Sad situation. Disagree. The state had a case, they just did an awful job of presenting it.
January 12, 201511 yr I think his behavior since the trial has shown what many said all along. The dude goes out of his way looking for conflict and trouble. I don't know how anyone at this point can have any doubt that Zimmerman was looking for trouble with Martin. No doubt but not sure that's enough to change one's mind, or even make up your mind. As far as the article goes Zimmerman has had 3 traffic stops and 2 battery charges on his girlfriend and ex wife that were dropped for lack of evidence or the woman didn't pursue charges. If I recall from that time Martin had also found his way into conflict and trouble. To me there is still simply not enough evidence to decide although I will always be convinced that Zimmerman was the cause of the trouble starting that night.
January 12, 201511 yr He hurled a wine bottle at his girlfriend's head. So that's three charges he's had with his lady friends. Dude has some serious issues.
January 12, 201511 yr So OJ got off because he's a black guy that killed a white woman?? False. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: Race was everything in that trial, just like many many other trials. In his case his celebrity played as much of a reason as his race.
January 12, 201511 yr Race was everything in that trial, just like many many other trials. In his case his celebrity played as much of a reason as his race. OJ Simpson did not get off because he was black. His celebrity status, I'll give you that.
January 12, 201511 yr OJ Simpson did not get off because he was black. His celebrity status, I'll give you that. If folks got off because they were black, we'd have to close a whole bunch of jails.
January 12, 201511 yr Race was as big a part of the OJ trial as his celebrity, probably more. The jury wanted to send a message.
January 12, 201511 yr So OJ got off because he's a black guy that killed a white woman?? False. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: Read the rest of my posts Deuce. To deny it was jury nullification is disingenuous. If it wasn't jury nullification, what was it?
January 13, 201511 yr If folks got off because they were black, we'd have to close a whole bunch of jails. Wow!
January 13, 201511 yr Wow! That's not really a controversial statement, but it's a very true one. The USA incarcerates brown and black people at a much higher rate than whites.
January 13, 201511 yr That's not really a controversial statement, but it's a very true one. The USA incarcerates brown and black people at a much higher rate than whites. According to the NAACP 1 Mil of the 2.3 Mil inmates are black. Roughly 43% of the prison population. This report appears to be from 2008. and yes I know that blacks are incarcerated at a higher rate than whites. Criminal Justice Fact Sheet | NAACP

January 15, 201511 yr Read the rest of my posts Deuce. To deny it was jury nullification is disingenuous. If it wasn't jury nullification, what was it? 6 women were on the Zimmerman jury and 5 of them were white. Yeah, great jury makeup there. SANFORD, Fla. — A jury of six women, five of them white and the other a minority, was picked Thursday to decide the second-degree murder trial of George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who says he fatally shot Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, in self-defense. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/20/george-zimmerman-jury-_n_3474181.html
