I have to agree with jimraynor21 that the courts system was the winner here, and ultimately honest citizens.
The courts did there job as intended. If people don't want to agree with that,,,,,that's all well and good, but threaten me or mine and I'll be within my rights to protect myself also,,,,,as this case has pointed out.
That's the only place anyone "won",,,anything IMO. Even though a great loss for the Martin family and the Zimmerman family, justice has prevailed weather the Martin family want to admit that there son was a punk or not. And it's obvious to most he was, and if his records had been released, they would have showed that.
This whole thing is very sad and should never have happened, but when people take the law into there own hands, as Martin did in confronting Zimmerman,, all bets are off and this is what can happen.
As pointed out Zimmerman could be the biggest POS in the world, we don't know,,,,,but He was 100% right in protecting himself from harm,,,,,period. No further discussion needed there.
And that is what this case is all about. Rule of law,,, if you can't abide by that premise, and the decisions made by the jury and courts,,,, then all is lost IMO.
Of course you already see sharpton starting to stir the pot with racist comments, but it's OK when he does it I guess. Just whites are racists,,I guess. If he keeps it up , he should be charged officially with "inciting to riot" IMO,,, but we all know that won't happen, but it could open him up for charges if any ones property is damaged where he is speaking. Legally speaking,,, but again,, it won't happen!
MLK would be turning over in his grave if he heard these things from sharpton and his cronies. This has gone further to negate all that he worked for so hard, we're slipping back to the past,,,, very sad indeed. But not necessary if people of good charter could just work together for a better life for all. Just as MLK wished could happen. Unfortunately the punks and stupid people will set any hope of this happening back 40 years.
It's the preduce people that are going to make this a big deal and it seems the low info blacks that are the aggressors here. 99% of people around here could give 2 shits what race you are, and it seems the blacks are the ones that cause the issues as far as race goes,,, no one else seems to care about race, but them. At least in this area.
But I'm Native American anyways ,,,,, so what to Hell do I know, we hate everyone!!! Right???
Just kidding!:lol::lol:
