according to zimmerman, martin ran. here are the exact words.
zimemrman: shit, he ran.
dispatch: are you following him?
zimmerman: yeah.
the jury did not rule on whether this was a poor method of "self defense" (as you call it) on zimmerman's part. it was.
the jury didn't even rule on the 14 lies and contradictions in zimmerman's evolving, fanciful tale of what happened that night.
after taking 12 hours they asked for instructions on charging him with manslaughter. many hours after that, the jury ruled that there was not enough evidence to charge him with manslaughter or murder, and just barely.
your understanding of "what the jury ruled" is a failure at best, and depressing at worst as it shows that you may actually be in the mental retardation range.
and trayvon was pretty bad at being racist, he called zimmy a 'nigga' and a 'cracker'. doesn't he know that those mean different things?
They did rule it was self defense, otherwise he would HAVE to be guilty. Drawing and firing was an EXCELLENT FORM of self defense.
They did rule on his excuses...they accepted them
And it wasn't barely, it was unanimous.
TKeep trying to shovel the pipe dream that...TM was an innocent.
not even close to mistaking an article on a satirical website for legitimate news.
try again, dummy.
The Zimmerman verdict would of been different Had Zimmerman not killed the only witness
And every supporter of Zimmerman knows it
I am sure trayvon would of been just as credible as his girlfriend was.
I'm sure Travon would've been convicted of assault.
There is a huge difference between being duped by a bogus story and intentionally slandering an innocent man just to drum up business amongst the the perpetually aggrieved.
i agree.
what FOX did to shirley sherrod was horrific.
Yeah, they played the video of Sherrod speaking. Those NAZIs.
FOX edits her story to make her appear racist? no big deal.
NBC edits zimm's words to make him appear more racist than he is? intentionally slandering an innocent man just to drum up business amongst the the perpetually aggrieved.
nice double standard. and i bet you wonder why so many people here know you to be a racist.go away, scumbag.
Actually, I am only vaguely familiar with the Sherrod thing. Did FOX edit the video? The whole story was (as I understand it) that she racially discriminated against white farmers, using her power as a federal employee to deny them loans, and then did some soul searching and decided that she did wrong and set about to make amends. Is that about right?
WRONG
"... more racist than he is..." You're a hoot, Buck. Every credible source of information paints Zimmerman as more of a multicultural, Obama nut-hugger than you, but the progs have decided to throw Z under the bus because it rustles the sleepy chickens off their roosts. There is a morality lesson in that: if you are a prog, you are only as useful as the hive allows. If your humiliation and destruction furthers the cause, then you are gone.
Not according to his cousin

There are multiple documented examples of Zimmerman going out of his way to help black people. He was in business with a black partner. His family is African ancestry. You have a disgruntled cousin making claims that contradict those facts. Embrace Z; he is a dopey progressive just like you and Buck.

no, that's about as far from the truth as you can possibly get.
that is what a racist would take out of the sherrod debacle.
...your guilt.
no, that's about as far from the truth as you can possibly get.
