great opportunity for the race industry - but hang on  - the guy who shot him wasn't a honkey - oh well it doesn't matter - lets not bother with detail even if he was from the hispanic minority
!!!  It was a racist attack  NAP   !!!

WHERE ARE ALL THE CHEST BEATERS AND HAND WRINGERS -  imagine if a black lad went free and the edl demonstrated - they would be all over the forum
!!!!

please go to the Deep South of the USA. easy to find, look out for the white-robed men with pointy hats : they are your friends.

blacks lost so are flinging bricks at the cops - good one!!!    An all white jury - so must be racist - they have to change their verdict - even if he was not guilty!!!

What happened there. You can't really suggest that it was biased to report that dead man was unarmed. It was probably necessary in order to differentiate between the normal 'gangland' type of killing.
Apart from that it was correct. The guy with the gun shot the one without.

the whiteys put him up for it - a clear conspiracy then organised an all white jury!!!

No parade.
Zimmermann called the police.  They said they would take care of it.
He ignored the instruction, followed the person and shot him.
In America that is defending yourself.  And in America people have a constitutional right to carry guns.

Cheer and self-congratulate if you like.

I will because as said above The aggressive teenager who attacked the hispanic and then continued to beat him while he was on the ground was shot dead.

Zimmermann called 911. The 911 dispatcher is not a police  officer. She asked Zimmerman if he was following the teenager. HE said YES. She said we do not need you to do that.

Zimmermann said OK. They then chatted for a couple of min. Zimmerman then got out of his car.

Dont let the facts get in the way of your bloodlust for Zimmermann!

Was the teenager aggressive before Zimerman followed him?

At what stage did he become aggressive Hellissio?

If Zimmerman had not followed him then none of this would have happened, so in my eyes he is guilty. We only have Zimmermans word for what happened

I love the way noone wants to address the fact that witness accounts tally with Zimmermans version that Trayvon was on top of him slaming his head into the pavement.

I think this is aggressive. If someone was following me, I would not do that to them. (Even if I could)

Following him is not a crime, and doesnot mean you should be beaten up.

I will repeat:

One of the officers who questioned Zimmerman, lead investigator Chris Serino, testified that he tried to bluff Zimmerman into thinking the clash had been recorded to convince him that he would be in more trouble if he lied.
“I believe his words were, ‘Thank God, I was hoping somebody would videotape it,’” Serino said.

Asked by defense lawyer Mark O’Mara what he thought of that comment, Serino said, “Either he was telling the truth or he was a complete pathological liar. One of the two.”

When questioned further, Serino said he thought Zimmerman was telling the truth and was not a pathological liar.

the whitey honkey liberals and the blacks don't like the verdict so chuck bricks - the handwringers on here moan - you couldn't make it up

I would so much have preferred zimmerman to have been white but the waters are somewhat muddies by him being of hispanic extraction - the irony and hypocrisy is wonderful to behold

He's guilty of murder in your eyes becuase he followed him? Surely only having Zimmermans word for what happened is a reason for having reasonable doubt that it was a murder?

Probably the same witness accounts that saw Rodney King knocking seven colours out of those poor cops.

1) Eyewitness accounts don't hold water
2) in the Sean Bell case the police found an eyewitness that managed to include an extra person on the scene who fired shots at the police, despite ballistic investigation showing the only guns fired were by the cops.
Wether Trayvon slammed his head into the pavement or not,what gives someone the right to chase someone down with a concealed weapon, then shoot them?
Well, Florida law does.
Even if the shooter is a known violent person like Zimmerman.

Blades , it is very much about race. Although you are right about the attitude in the US to guns.

blades has this spot on........."This is not about race...it is about guns and the US attitude to guns...they are nutters."

these american right wingers think they are living in the 19th century.......ideological nuters

So you telling me Zimmerman had his gun drawn?
But the victim still chose to attack him?
and "smash his head on the pavement"?
Now there is either some naive people here or selective choice of what really happened.
besides which...
"She asked Zimmerman if he was following the teenager. HE said YES. She said we do not need you to do that."
teenager doing what teenagers do, trying to get the tools to get high. Chased by a known violent person with a weapon.
But the victim was a black kid, therefore not worthy of justice.
Change the colour of skin and someone is doing 25 yeears...

besides which shrewd dude,self defence in the UK comes with the caveat of reasonable force, whereas in F

in Florida the law is clearly different.
Stand your ground??
