The jury found him innocent because they DIDN'T find him guilty...he was, and is right now, innocent. The fact that these militant black people around here want to hurt him says more about them then it does about Zimmerman...
Just sayin'...

The problem stems from the fact that different states have different laws. I can guarantee you that he would have been found guilty of manslaughter in New York, Massachusets, and other more liberal states. In Texas, Florida, Arizona, and other states with Stand Your Ground laws, it is very difficult to successfully prosecute a case like this when there's absolutely no evidence against the defendent. All extremely circumstantial evidence.
I just wish the majority of TM supporters would sit down and look at the evidence and look at the laws. If any reasonable person would do this, there just wasn't enough evidence to convict. You either believe 1) GZ acted in self-defense or 2) he waved his gun around and shot TM in cold-blood. The evidence doesn't support #2 and it is highly possible that #1 happened. That's all this case boils down to.
I don't think the Feds will bring Civil Rights charges against GZ. This never was a case about race and the juror even said she didn't believe GZ was racist. It will be interesting to see if a civil suit will come to trial. But in a civil suit, the whole world will see TM is no angel and all the inadmissable stuff about TM in the criminal trial will come out in the civil suit trial. But the burden of proof is considerably lower in a civil trial.
I wish the liberal media, NAACP, Sharpton, Jackson would just cool it with the race card and stop flaming the fans.
