However it is still being discussed :

http://news.yahoo.com/zimmerman-jury...150002711.html

http://www.damemagazine.com/2013/06/...it-means-women

And "Simple Self Defense" is not shooting an unarmed person. Zimmerman, by his own admission, went out of his way to confront Martin. It sounds to me like Zimmerman was getting the beating he deserved. Even the 9/11 operator told Zimmerman NOT to approach him but he ignored the advice and went after Martin anyway.



Ok maybe I jumped the gun here a little but you know that no matter what, the NRA will be there pushing for more guns, and, they will get all the support they need from Republicans and especially from Governor Rick Scott who together, brought the Stand your Ground law to FLorida in the first place.



Trust me I always wanted to move the the US. Florida and California are amazing places at one time but... you have to admit that things have got pretty bad since Dubya was in power... or do you think otherwise?
You clearly did not watch the trial and you are ignorant about almost everything you have stated. But if I recall some of your posts correctly you are more often ignorant than not... on subjects you post about

Yeah, it's all Bush
...NO! This country has been steadily getting worse since the Nixon administration. Combination of The Supreme Court giving more and more power to authorities to do pretty much anything that they want to us. I grew up in Florida...born there in 1961. It's ALWAYS been kinda crappy in central Florida in my opinion.

Since "Dubya" was in power...is that really what the media has convinced people outside the U.S. of?

Dude, "Dubya" has nothing to do with the problems our country has. And how you could possibly think that "Dubya" is having any effect after 5 years of Pres. Obama being in "power" is laughable.

You do really, really need to get here and become a citizen. Then you can be a Democrat.
And then you too can be disappointed by them.

Same for Republicans.

NONE of them do what they say. They all are in it for power and money.

Now back to the regularly scheduled Zimmerman-Fest...

Every year or whatever there is some huge media following of these "high profile" murder trials. Each time the media makes some huge scene about it, it's on every channel all the time, everyone and their mother has some dumb fucking opinion about it, and think they know who is guilty or innocent.

Honestly, I just don't get it. We have a court system - let them deal with it. I am completely baffled by society's fascination with utterly irrelevant shit simply because the media tells them they need to care.

It's kind of like an analogy I always use. (This is not a real news story btw) But it's like the news showing a story of a guy - it's a quick clip, and the guy says "People who use sofas are morons, I don't need a sofa and all I use is bean bags". And suddenly people are discussing it saying "Yeah, that guys is douche, I like sofas - I think bean bags are stupid". No no no no no no no. There's no need to discuss it, there's no story, they simply went out and found some dude, who had something dumb to say, and put it in your face. You have absolutely no need to even form an opinion about what the guy said, or care in the slightest what he said. But because you have a sofa suddenly you're letting yourself get drug into some irrelevant bullshit. People seem to forget the news is a far cry from a service to bring you "news" anymore, it's a platform for advertisements. It's a business for them to get viewers, so they can sell advertising spots and make money. The random moron spouting off about sofas isn't news - neither is this zimmerman trial news. It's just random shit happening in some random part of the country, and it's not even unique or special because the same thing they're reporting is happening a hundred other times that day in every other state. But they decided to pick this one story, make a scene about it, and try to lure you in to watching. So they can let Burger King and Pepsi bombard your ass with ads.

Could you imagine if the media spin on these things wasn't there, you didn't have the TV blasting you with the biased and possibly falsified nuances of the case, and someone told you about it -- "OMG Did you fucking hear about this shit~!?!?!? There is a guy who shot another dude in Florida?!?!?! Isn't that the fucking craziest shit you've ever heard in your life?!?! OMG I'm soo fucking interested in it, I'm going to start forming opinions on the whole case by any and all unsubstantiated facts I can find!!!" -- Pretty sure you'd think the person was fucking retarded right?

:pimp
The other reason this case is big is simple too.

Look at how many people in this thread refuse to admit that Trayvon was "suspicious" because he was black.

They scream "race card" whenever the truth about racism is mentioned.

People die and they think it's a card game.

it was the parents, their attorney and the media that made it about race.

A simple fact is that when first asked to describe Martin, Zimmerman didn't know if he was black or not. He had no clue as to what his race was even after he made the call.... SO... you fail at race baiting.... and cards.

So to answer the OP's question, yes, I do not give a shit about the Zimmerman trial.

First, the media and professional black shit-stirrers started the race issue. They even turned a very hispanic looking male into a "white" hispanic to suit their agenda.

Second, the black gangsta/crime culture is responsible for the"suspicious" viewing of many blacks. You sure as hell don't see this with asians for example. The only derogatory remarks you hear about asians are math jokes. Wonder why that is?

Stop blaming whitey for every damn thing that happens. And by all means call me a racists for pointing out the obvious.

Yep, "news", sports, shows - all just a big diversion to keep us from thinking for ourselves.

Why waste your life mindlessly spectating, having an illusion of "opinion", or watching somebody else making money doing what they like to do?

I'd rather think for myself, do my own thing and be on the other side of the screen one day :thumbsup

if you have kids i hope you never have to sit in the front seat on some shit like this :2 cents:

I felt horrible for TM's mom when I watched her on the stand. She is a damn good woman who has worked hard all her life.

I'm not so sure about his dad one way or another. But that mom is a good woman.

As far as TM himself goes...."kid"?, "child"?....right.
When I was 17 I was living with a 25 year old woman in my own apartment and playing in bands in central Fla. (they didn't ID you at the old Lakeland Lounge on the Polk County/Hillsborough County line when you were in the band and the drinking age was still 18)

17 ain't no kid. And if Trayvon was like most 17 year olds...he would have probably kicked YOUR ass for calling him a kid. lol

That's what makes the whole goddamn thing ridiculous. All the overdramatic exaggerations.

"Stalking". "Child". That is all meant to make it sound like a 4 year old was being chased down by Charles Manson and slaughtered while he cried and clutched his teddy bear.

NO!!!! It was a horrible stupid confrontation between a young powerful man beating the shit out of a young weak man and then getting shot dead.

I followed the Zimmerman case, like I did the Casey Anthony case: not at all. People are killed everyday, some deserve it, most don't. In the grand scheme of life, these cases mean absolutely nothing to me, apart from their entertainment value. And I don't find these cases, or more specfically the media covetage of them, entertaining anymore.

Now the OJ trial I did follow and found it great "entertainment". But it was a novelty back then and I was younger - and more easily entertained.
