The Public Responds To Zimmerman Verdict

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A jury of six women found neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman not guilty of all charges on Saturday in the shooting of Trayvon Martin. Here are some quotes from key figures involved in the case. From the AP:

"We're ecstatic with the results. George Zimmerman was never guilty of anything except protecting himself in self-defense."

      — Mark O'Mara, one of George Zimmerman's attorneys, said at a news conference after the verdict.

"Even though I am broken hearted my faith is unshattered. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE MY BABY TRAY"

      — Trayvon Martin's father, Tracy Martin, via Twitter

"The acquittal of George Zimmerman is a slap in the face to the American people but it is only the first round in the pursuit of justice. We intend to ask the Department of Justice to move forward as they did in the Rodney King case and we will closely monitor the civil case against Mr. Zimmerman. I will convene an emergency call with preachers tonight to discuss next steps and I intend to head to Florida in the next few days."

      — the Rev. Al Sharpton

"Message from Dad: "Our whole family is relieved". Today... I'm proud to be an American. God Bless America! Thank you for your prayers!

      — George Zimmerman's brother, Robert, said in Twitter

"I don't think this is a time for high-fiving."

     — Robert Zimmerman Jr., George's brother, on CNN after the verdict.

No, you little cunt. An armed adult male can aproach a stranger and ask what they are doing. The stranger can ignore them, walk away or tell them to fuck off. 

If the stranger attacks them and tries to kill them, the armed adult male can defend his life with lethal force. 

So just spare us your bed wetting bullshit.

You're full of crap. I was a prosecutor in two major cities for 8 years. This was a bullshit, racially motivated political prosecution set up by evil elites with their evil media intent on promoting their divide and conquer race wars to turn us all against each other.

I believe the criminal justice system is racist to the core  -the bogus war on drugs is no better than the bogus war on terror  - it results in imprisoning a grotesquely disproportionate amount of African Americans when they could just a easily imprison rich middle class whites if they chose to target them.

But this prosecution was wrong  -it was evil  - it was most evil because its just another incident where our degenerate, elititist media chose to promote racial hatred and race wars. Certain elites profit when the rest of us are all fighting each other. Goldman Sachs loves this shit  -their media focuses on these racially motivated bullshit prosecutions, while they rob us blind and enslave us with their police state, evil foreign wars and criminal Banksters robbing us of our welath.

LOOK AT THE FACTS--the man was innocent. Are you too fucking stupid to realize this?

Sav is correct. I listened to a podcast from Stefan Molyneux about this case today for about 30 minutes.

If 1/10th of the facts of this case were actually made public before the media-induced race-baiting rage that compromised the collective's intellect.....this incident would not have even made the news. I say "incident" because there certainly would have been no case.

I suggest (if you are interested) to listen about the backstory of this case. Zim was no racist. He tutored black kids for free. His back neighbors like him and voted him watch captain. Because there were several (all black male) burgularies in his hood. His biz partner was black.

Trayvon's records are sealed for obvious reasons. They would not help the prosecution, to put it mildly.

And to think all it took was an editing of a 911 call to cause all this bullshit, along with taking liberties about Zim's race.

Thanks NBC. Thanks a lot.

To: All out of Bubblegum

This was a complete tragedy with the cause being directly tied to racism, no doubt. But an armed adult male cannot legally approach and kill an unarmed kid, black or otherwise, without being convicted of murder.  There are a number of things that people don't want to see about this case but the biggest is the result of the fear of one gruop of people about another group of people. I grew up in a black community and I'm a white guy.  I live in a city now.  Anytime I walk alone, any time of day or night, I am aware of what is happening around me as muggings occur anytime of day in places where predators can strike without warning or being noticed.  I will be the first to say that if a white guy in a suit is following me I feel a lot more comfortable than a black guy in a hoodie...that's wrong and I know it, but why do I feel that way?  Maybe because I don't worry about white people in professional attire doing drive by shootings, maybe its because I don't worry about white people in professional attire being part of the Crips or Bloods or some other gang.  Now, if you get a big white dude with long greasy hair, tattoos, a wife beater t-shirt and some grungy clothes and I'll worry the same way I worry abut the black guy in a hoody.  We're programmed to recognize danger, and in movies on TV iand in real life bad guys are depicted and dress and look a certain way; that's just the way it is.  If Trayvon was indeed a harlmess kid then this is terrible tragedy.  If he was looking for trouble in a gated community where he should not have been and was dressing the part of a gang banger then he learned a very terrible lesson. We will never truly know, the only thing we will know is that society creates and glorifies bad guys and stereotypes.  Dreesing like a thug should not be a crime punished by death, but I guarantee there are parts of my city where if I walk down the streets right now with my short haicut and dressed like a white professional, I would get shot, and that's not being dressed like a thug. The difference is my stereotype threatens no one and is not feared, but it is reviled in certain areas, plus I would just be considered an outsider by gangs.  The gangbanger stereotype puts fear into most people and for good reason as they celebrate the outlaw lifestyle.  Perhaps we need to change at a deeper level.  This is not a simple problem and there is no simple solution.  The only way people will stop 'profiling' is when they don't fear the profile.  That is at the heart of the issue. Be aware of where you are and your situation is all I can say.  I don't believe that Zimmerman just walked up to this kid and shot him. But just like i need to be aware of what goes on around me, Trayvon should have done the same...if someone follows me I sure as shit don't confront them, I get the fuck out of there.  Being brave by yourself isn't being brave, it foolish and there are a lot of dead guys who would say so if they had the chance. Anyway, its a tragedy that a young man died under circumstances that will never truly be known.  The best that can come from it is that we learn something to prevent this from happening again in the future.

This was a just verdict for a number of reasons.

First though, I would like to lob a heartfelt condescending and contemptuous insult to all those that think that a guilty verdict should have been rendered:

You are truly a gaggle of small-minded morons and should do us all a favor and turn in your voter Registration cards.

Here's why:

Bubblegum, there is NO EVIDENCE whatsoever that George Zimmerman confronted Travon. NONE. Following TM was
within his rights under the law. George had as much right to be in the same public place as TM. Whether you think that was an instigation is immaterial, for to think otherwise is to assume that George did not have right to be there.

911 operator or police do not have the authority to order George around if he was not breaking the law.

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE that George confronted TM. None. Following someone is not equal to confronting him. Annoying? perhaps. But neither illegal nor confrontational if he had every legal right to do so.

No evidence exists that demonstrates tha George confronted and escalated the situation. Even if George did approach TM, TM too had a legal burden not to escalate.

Being 17 does not absolve you of your responsibility to refrain from escalating.

Most of these morons are assuming that George confronted Travon. That is wrong. A verdict is a hypothesis test, with the null hypothesis being "not guilty" and the alternative hypothesis being "guilty".

When performing a hypothesis test, you act on EVIDENCE, not what you think, nor what you feel, and neither on the outcome of the series of events. Why is this so god damned hard for you to grasp?

With no evidence of who initiated and escalated the confrontation, you have REASONABLE DOUBT and must acquit.

There is a doctrine called Disparity of Force that authorizes lethal force in self-defense situations which becomes effective when a person gains advantage in an altercation in such a way that he is capable of inflicting "death or grave bodily harm". When this occurs, use of lethal force is authorized. TM was witnessed on top of George, slamming his head against concrete. This is a situation where grave bodily harm can easily be caused and hence Disparity of Force applies. The attacker NEED NOT BE ARMED to have disparity of force so spare me the idiotic "he shot an unarmed man" sophomoric bullshit.

True, evidence thatTM attacked is not conclusive either but the burden of proof is on the state to demonstrate tha George was the attacker. They had nothing to support that claim other than 3 weeks of "pounding the table" with emotional appeals to the jury.

Following someone in a public place does not legally comprise "aggression". Again, the burden was on TM to restrain himself if you think that was "provocation".

This is Civics 101 and yet I see a plethora of absolute morons that neither understand the concept of "reasonable doubt", are utterly ignorant of law, and are are so well conditioned to "emote" rather than think that it's no wonder that our culture has gone down the shitter.

Idiot.

They can defend themselves from being beaten to death by a person who has a history of violence, Trayvon was expelled from school for beating his bus driver, who is over six feet tall and over 200 pounds in weight, and who isn't a cute little kid with a snow board and a Hollister Tshirt, who was also expelled from school for having a collection of women's jewelry and a pry bar in his locker, who was on drugs.

According to reports, a retired Detroit police officer shot and killed a teenager during an armed robbery just before 3 p.m. on the city's west side.

Aug. 19, Fox 2: "The retired officer confronted the gunman. There was a shootout inside the McDonald's. Several shots were fired. The gunman was killed by the retired officer."

Detroit Police told the television station they believe the gunman, who was reportedly 16 years old, acted alone, but they're still investigating to see if someone could have been assisting him.

No one else inside the restaurant was reported hurt.

If you read the facts, Trayvon approached Zimmerman and then started to hit him.  It was 4 minutes until Zimmerman finally shot while he was yelling for help.

If Trayvon were hovering over your bed as you awoke at 3am, would you shoot him?

17 years old is not a child. I would assume most people would shoot him without regret except the most aggregious bleeding hearts that would rather be killed and raped than hurt a black person.

True story. I went to school with a white, blond haired, blue eyed, gay male (who loved to have a certain female in his lap all the time, but he was gay) who was cuban. He had lots of scholarship money based on his cubanness.

I keep posting this: Zimmerman is part black.

"The 28-year-old insurance-fraud investigator comes from a deeply Catholic background and was taught in his early years to do right by those less fortunate. He was raised in a racially integrated household and himself has black roots through an Afro-Peruvian great-grandfather - the father of the maternal grandmother who helped raise him."

We've had our own riots here in Baltimore over the past month, but it had nothing to do with Trayvon nor any type of media fuel. 60 wounded, 30 dead in that time and 125 murders this year. Where the fuck is the media on this? Where the fuck is shit nosed Al Sharpton on this?

Weapons Training for Progressives:

  1. Hands murder far more Americans than all types of rifles, including assault rifles.
  2. Trayvon was disarmed. His hands were harmless.
  3. Guns are weapons of war and we can only trust the police with them

Self defense is only acceptable if

  1. You are in a coma
  2. You are dead
  3. You can prove that the next punch would have been fatal
  4. You are a policeman, and the other person made a frightening movement which caused you to shoot him 27 times.
  5. You are a policeman, and the other person was holding a flashlight.

Live stream - riot building in Chicago. 100+ protestors going south on Michigan Avenue

Sun, 07/14/2013 - 00:30 | 3750263 Silenus
Silenus's picture

A hundred people are nothing in a city the size of Chicago. There probably won't be riots. People are better behaved now than they were twenty years ago. High incarceration rates, zero tolerance policies, the culture of fear created by the Patriot Act etc. have been succeeding in creating a more disciplined population. 

People behave better now than they did in the past. It's part of a society's maturation. First, the rules have to be brutally imposed. Then, people internalize the rules and self-regulate.

Also, just look at and listen to that livestream. You can kind of make out the races of the protesters in the fuzzy images, and you can hear their voices. It's clear that the crowd is largely white. They're weinerless white liberals on another fultile march.

Recent Gallup poll showed even blacks and democrats think blacks are more racist.

 

I can't think of any big city in the USA where there are not black areas physically unsafe for whites but I can't think of anyplace in the USA where there are white neighborhoods unsafe for blacks. Think about that.

Had a black taxi driver drop me off and warned me not to walk East, because I was white and it was a black neighborhood. Says,"They'll kill you to see out what's in your briefcase. Cops won't go in there to get you back out either."

Out of Bubblegum in your mind it is alright if someone is following you to kick their ass. Can I do that to the police too? My biggest question about the whole thing is why all we have seen is a picture of Martin when he was 12. So for 5 years his parents took no pictures of him. Really? I have two daughters and a grandson I have hundreds of pictures. But your right I am strange most parents never take pictures of their children. There has been an agenda in this since day one. Wake up America!!!

2) Don`t have kids until you are married

3) Don`t quit your job unless you have a better one all lined up

The old school model, that is to say, the Biblical Model, is the best.

 

Proverbs 22:15

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

 

In short, beat their asses. Done out of love, and not anger, brings well rounded, personally disciplined adults.
