We know from her own testimony that at least one of them was a racist, and though 4 of the 5 remaining tried distancing themselves from her, it seems that there must be some common bond that allowed these women to all agree that a white man is perfectly within his rights to murder an unarmed black teenager who was walking home from the store.
I watched this trial progress daily, I listened intently to witnesses testify, I tried as hard as possible to see the other side of the story.What I ended up with in my own evaluations was that Zimmerman was not likely a candidate for 2nd degree murder, but his actions were exactly befitting the legal description of Floridas statute for manslaughter, basically gross indifference.
I will admit that I did not read the "stand your ground" law, but apparently it must go something like this.
" If an individual ignores directives from authorities and chooses instead to stalk and pursue innocent citizens in the imaginary belief that those citizens must be guilty of some criminal behavior performed at some place some where at some other time because those citizens are wearing a hooded sweatshirt while being part of a minority, then said individual has the right to confront and threaten said citizen, and if said citizen should object and attempt to flee from said individual, then said individual is within his rights to terminate said citizens life"
That must be the way the law is written, because after watching the evidence presented in the trial, including an uncle of Zimmerman lying outrageously under oath, a demonstration showing it to be impossible for Zimmerman to reach his gun in the position he stated he was in, the superficial wounds Zimmerman had after supposedly having been punched dozens of times and having his head slammed against concrete numerous times, the ever changing story he gave to police, etc., etc., etc.
Yes, the law must be written like that for 6 presumably non biased clear thinking rational human beings to render such a preposterous decision.
Zimmermans lawyer stating that if Treyvon was white and George was black, that this case would never have gone to trial is so f***ing stupid that I want to punch him in his lie spewing mouth. If a black adult stalked and murdered a white teen simply because he was suspicious looking to him, then that black man would be put to death by the ever loving state of Florida, and anybody who believes otherwise is fooling themselves.
I knew that Florida was a f***ed up state, but I didn't realize it was this bad, if I never set foot in it again it will be fine with me.
And for Zimmerman, regardless of the federal government charging him or not, the court of public opinion has made itself very, very clear, George Zimmernan is a cold hearted murderer, he is a racist bigoted vigilante who took the life of an innocent child.I take a strange pleasure in knowing that Zimmerman will spend the rest of his life knowing he is one of the most hated individuals in human history, hated by countless millions of people around the world.
I also find it pleasing to know that Zimmerman will spend the rest of his life having to always be aware that many would enjoy his removal from amongst the living, and that perhaps one day some vigilante will re-enact the same murderous actions on him that he got away with, and wouldn't it be ironic for a Florida jury to find that person not guilty.
This event is just the most current in an ongoing saga of racial inequality in America, minorities were, are, and will continue to be treated as second class citizens as long as we allow the small minded bigots to have any say in our country.
Things like voter suppression are directly aimed at stifling the minority vote, and where is that voter suppression coming from? It's coming from the GOP!Not all GOP are racists, but all racists seem to be GOP.
The supreme court said there was no longer a need for part 4 of the voting rights act, who do these GOP justices think they're fooling? They are oozing over with their not so well hidden political agenda.
In a previous blog I warned of a GOP that was pulling out all of the stops in a war they were preparing to wage in 2014 and 2016. We liberals need to unite in numbers and crush those anti-American bigots now, and we need to continue silencing their hate filled voices until this nation rids itself of this putrid vermin.
When Americans come to realize that we are ALL the same, that we are ALL equal in Gods eyes, then we become a better nation, and a better people. PLEASE COMMENT AND FOLLOW ME ON FACEBOOK AT: GETTING A CLUE
