[QUOTE=Sega Saturn;41449384]Had you done that, you would have gone to prison. Zimmerman's defense hinged on the idea that Martin was using force that could be lethal, justifying Zimmerman's use of a lethal weapon. The fact that Martin was on top of him inflicting trauma to the head is the reason Zimmerman was cleared to use his firearm. You can't just shoot a guy for knocking you over.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't go to prison because if some dark figure is fucking around on my property late at night and I feel threatened, to the point where the lives of myself and my wife/child are in danger, I can certainly shoot to kill.
[QUOTE=Computrix;41449378]Thank fuck now the media can shut up about it finally and focus on real issues like the NSA spying on half the world.[/QUOTE]
nope, they'll just forget those "alleged" leaks even happened and just focus on gawking over the same picture of Snowden they used for the last few weeks
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;41449382]and that somehow makes a deluge of posts to the effect of "haha check out all these upset black people, look at how bad their spelling is" not racist?[/QUOTE]
No, it doesn't.

I don't judge idiots by race, I hate them all equally.
[QUOTE=Ralakis;41449340]He was an overzealous neighborhood watch guy, but he was within his rights to shoot to kill. His life was definitely in danger and as long as you have that, you're fine. Especially when he climbed on top of Zimmerman started beating the shit out of him. I would have killed him long before that.[/QUOTE]
In Florida, it isn't just your life, but if you also fear for grave bodily harm (Which Zimmerman clearly was) By law, he was in the right. And you know, his suspicions about the kid were correct anyway

Martin wasn't on Zimmerman's property; he was just in the neighborhood.

Making fun of people who are dumb asses, if a majority of black it doesn't mean it shouldn't be done
[QUOTE=areolop;41449421]Its going to be really funny if this address people keep posting is the wrong address.[/QUOTE]
Not if an innocent person is killed. Even if Zimmerman was killed it would not be funny. Alot of people are taking this case seriously.

Turns out it was a puppy orphanage.
I don't understand these #JUSTICE4TRAYVON people's arguments about why zimmerman is actually guilty. They seem to just think that even though zimmerman was getting the fuck beat out of him and his head smashed against the ground, that because he followed him he somewhat deserved the beating. I don't know how people can be so stupid as to think zimmerman should have been convicted as he was clearly protecting himsel. No matter if he followed trayvon, trayvon should not have started beating him up, but since that is what happened, zimmerman killed him in self defense and people should understand that what zimmerman did was NOT murder.

I think it might just be that the people we're making fun of just happen to be black. They could be purple for all I care, the people tweeting his address and calling for vigilante just are a bunch of ignorant assholes in my opinion, it doesn't matter what the color of the skin is.
The fact that they're black has nothing to do with it. It's that what they're saying is dumb. The fact that you cannot see this really astounds me, there is some real racism going on in here, and you pick [I]this[/I] to argue over? Damn.

Please stop implying that all people who are angry about this are black, and that all black people have bad spelling. This is simply untrue, and it is very demeaning.
[QUOTE=BusterBluth;41449419]No, it doesn't.[/QUOTE]
That's literally a dude posting in all caps about how something made him lose faith in humanity. Remove the capital letters and you have this forum's reaction whenever a pop song they don't like gets really popular. I wonder what it is that could separate these two examples of angerposting...
And don't think I didn't see what was there before the edit.

[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;41449431]You can tell yourself that but it doesn't make it true.[/QUOTE]
So if the majority of people being idiots are a different race than yourself, you can't call them out on being idiots because it is racist?
Zimmerman is innocent, media on both sides were dicks, there wouldn't have even been a trial without media, stand your ground laws still exist, and there's a dead kid and one publicly hated man resulting from this. I think there should be some riots no matter what the outcome of this trial was.

It is [B]a cultural thing[/B]. I will put it back there if you want. The people who do that about pop songs are idiots as well, but I highly doubt they actually feel that way about it.

I'm checking twitter and there are tons of white people who are upset about this verdict. Don't kid yourself.
Stand Your Ground Law doesn't play a role here because Zimmerman was already on the ground being beaten. Stand Your Ground says you don't have to retreat. Zimmerman didn't even have that option once the fight was on
