Forensic expert: Trayvon Martin shot leaning over George Zimmerman

[Thunder_Snus]

There's a lot of bullshit floating around. I haven't been following the case *at all*, but I groaned when they released the "thug" pics of Trayvon. That could be any kid, of any color in the US. A teen that smokes weed, and has an illegal item(pistol) that he thinks makes him look cool. He may have been a piece of shit, but those pics provide zero evidence one way or the other.

I groaned when they showed those as well but also when the whole siuation unfolded when they reported he was 17 and showed him as an 11 year old in a football uniform. Honestly i think both parties are a piece of shit. Trayvons parents look like nothing but bottom feeders trying to make a profit off of a media shit storm that was caused because the guy that killed him was a different race. Had zimmerman been black this case would have been nothing but a 2 line article on page 11. Instead news outlets saw an opportunity for a long running "Racial stereotyping" scandal that could play out for months just as it has because someone of one race killed someone of another race. This case should be nothing but "this guy killed that guy for this reason, is that wrong?" With Zimmerman's apparent motives it should simply be that question. I doubt he shot him because he was black, he appears to be someone that took his "neighborhood watch duty" too far, was attacked and killed someone. Its up to a jury to decide if thats wrong. People want to end racism but cant wait to bring it up when something like this happens.

This sure is a "Pimp-alicious" News story! They got so many hooked on this. WTG news pimps, you sure know how to serve up some big titty whores! How are you going to go back to "who's my Baby daddy?" after this.........? Gonna take some sequential slow motion train wrecks to wean them off. Sorry for the Rant, nothing happened here Wanda Sykes couldn't summarize in 5 seconds.

I am just thankful I do not live near the area.....riots are a certainty if he is found not guilty. Search twitter for people posting about killing white people if he is let off. Wonder how many people would have been arrested had the OJ trial been going on now and people threatened to kill blacks if he was found innocent.

Verdict will be read any second now.

[Crow]

Not Guilty.

get ready and load em up

[wa3zrm]

When will the riots begin?

[Premium Parrots]

hopefully never. but it doesn't hurt to be ready if you live....say.....30 miles or closer to a big city.

Just glad I don't take calls from Florida. I'm sure people are blowing up my phones at work trying to insure every last hair on their head.

I wasn't there so I don't know. I know LEO deal with a lot more shit than the average Joe, and these issues are rarely as black & white as, "oh Zimmerman shot some innocent kid". I hope people will be able to move on after this. Sadly Zimmerman's career/life will most likely never recover from this. I don't know Trayvon Martin, or Zimmerman, but hopefully this won't continue on forever.

Also, this sounds horribly racist, but I'm glad this wasn't a black vs white issue. For once a white guy isn't the bad guy. Also because this is a sensitive issue, I will reiterate, I'm not racist in the least. I pray for peace for both sides of this issue.

It was a white vs black crime according to every major news outlet. Also now if you are indicted you will be white "your race." My neighbor just told me he can't wait to commit a crime so the media will report him as a white black man.

Unbelievable! A wannabe security guard can shoot an unarmed kid and get away with it. I think the murder charge was a stretch but he should have at least been convicted of manslaughter and never be allowed to go near another firearm for the rest of his life.

[OregonNative]

I was also mistaken.. I thought Zimmerman was LEO. Apparently he wasn't?

No - he was a self appointed neighborhood watch volunteer with a loaded gun. I think I would feel safer with him not watching the neighborhood.

The news wont stop talking about zimmerman being set free and how the black community is outraged.....in my opinion they should be held responsible if they incite rioting.....if they let it go then so would the people but as long as they keep giving it air time all it does is fan the flames. It is bullshit....
