The State of Florida vs George Zimmerman: The Trial

I 'd not even have gotten mad in his circumstance.

What you "saw" was from the brain of a racial bigot.

If any of my sons, when they were young, were walking back from the store,
and they were shot dead, for any reason, I'd be more than saddened and mortified!

Racial bigots wouldn't care; only if the victims were white.

Without the assault of Zimmerman by Trayvon, he would now be an 18 years old teenagers with his life ahead of him.

You can’t be “sort of” a rhythm-and-blues grinding guitar slayer. You either kill or you aren’t. If you aren’t, you’re a hopelessly white guitar player who has paid for too many guitar lessons and not listened to enough Howlin’ Wolf and Chuck Berry music. The same goes for freedom: You are either a free man or you aren’t. Unless you’re George Zimmerman.

George Zimmerman is thankfully and rightfully not facing any jail time for legally defending himself, but he is far from a free man.

In addition to looking over his shoulder the rest of his life for racist goons looking to cause him harm, Mr. Zimmerman may also face some trumped-up civil-rights charge by the most corrupt and racist attorney general in the history of the nation. Mr. Zimmerman may also face a wrongful-death civil suit brought by Trayvon Martin’s family, who refuse to admit their son was a troublemaker who brought about his own demise.

While there is little he can do to protect himself from a civil-rights charge by our gun-running, pro-New Black Panthers attorney general, Mr. Zimmerman may have some legal room to move regarding a wrongful death lawsuit by Trayvon Martin’s family. George Zimmerman should consider suing Trayvon Martin’s parents.

The narrative being spun by any number of media pundits, race-baiters and various excuse-makers is that Mr. Zimmerman shot down an unarmed minor. Although he was found not guilty of second-degree murder or manslaughter, let’s follow the narrative of those who believe Mr. Zimmerman killed a minor. And they are right, he did. Trayvon Martin was a minor at the time of this death. The basis for Zimmerman’s lawsuit should be that minor Trayvon Martin viciously attacked him causing great bodily harm and threatening his life, which resulted in Mr. Zimmerman defending himself and shooting Martin.

Trayvon Martin’s vicious attack on George Zimmerman and Martin’s tragic death have no doubt surely dragged Mr. Zimmerman through 18 months of untold emotional hell, pain, distress, anguish, fatigue, nightmares and financial ruin. Again, following the narrative of the pro-Trayvon media types and other race-baiters, if Trayvon Martin was a minor, then Trayvon Martin’s parents may be held liable for the emotional pain and suffering Mr. Zimmerman has been put through for the past 18 months, and surely for the rest of his life.

Parents can be held responsible for the actions of their minor-age children until the children reach the age of majority (meaning adulthood), which is exactly why Mr. Zimmerman should explore filing a lawsuit against Martin’s parents. The age of majority in Florida is 18-years-old. Trayon Martin was 17-years-old when he attacked Mr. Zimmerman, which potentially means that Trayvon’s parents may possibly be held responsible for the stress, emotional pain and anguish their son caused George Zimmerman.

I’m just your simple Motor City guitar player, and generally despise lawyers and all of their bureaucratic layers or legal maneuvering, but Mr. Zimmerman should hire a legal shark to determine if he has grounds to sue Trayvon Martin’s parents for the actions of their son.

I 'd not even have gotten mad in his circumstance.

I can not picture myself attacking Zimmerman as the 17 years old I was in 1965
or as a 64 years old man I am now for following me on a public street.

There is no excuse or justification for Trayvon knocking him down and then getting on top of him slugging away and pounding his head on the sidewalk putting Zimmerman in fear for his life or for suffusing great bodily harm.

As I would never at any point in my lifespan had launch an attack on someone
for just annoying me in a public space as Trayvon did I would have
under similar conditions defend my life as Zimmerman did from such an attack
no matter what the hell the color of the skin of the attacker happen to be.

Quote:

Killing black people isn't really a crime in Florida where people like BillRM reside, and see lynching as part of their heritage.

And they obviously think the death penalty is justified in response to a punch in the nose.

Once some gun-toting vigilante sizes up an unarmed innocent black high school kid as one of those "f--king punks", that kid has no right to self-defense, even if he feels menaced and stalked, and his needless death is just collateral damage in the defense of macho pride and the right to pack a concealed weapon so you'll always be ready to go after the next one.

If Trayvon had been white, and Zimmerman black, do you think Zimmerman would have not been arrested the night of the shooting?

Parents can be held responsible for the actions of their minor-age children until the children reach the age of majority (meaning adulthood), which is exactly why Mr. Zimmerman should explore filing a lawsuit against Martin’s parents.

If the roles had been reversed...Zimmerman would have been in jail immediately...and all these guys arguing would be on the other side of the argument.

I remember reading Sam Clemens' United States Of Lyncherdom to a group of 15 year olds. I foolishly told them that that was how things used to be.

What the "jury saw" was tainted from the beginning, because the prosecution failed do its job.

The argument has become farce. The only reasonable explanation for some of the stuff coming from them is bigotry…and it is a chance for them to dress their bigotry in what seems to them to be reasonable argument.

This not only was a tragedy…it is a travesty. If these guys you are arguing with were blacks…they would be raging in the streets in anger at what has happened.

Don’t even bother with them, Firefly…they have proven themselves not to be worth the effort.
