The "let's all beat this dead horse" thread.

It is on the news right now. The verdict came out about 10 minutes ago

Good

agreed. Hoping the reaction is peaceful.

jury has spoken

While he shouldnt have gotten murder, its not right to kill someone with no consequences. Does he even regret taking a life?

Welp, there's gonna be some rioting against whitey tonight.

And upon further review- I am going to leave off the rest of my statement lest I get this thing locked and me patio'd.

So the proverbial E36 M3 has hit the fan, TBH is anyone really surprised?

Sez you. Self defense justifies it.

Jaxmadine wrote: Does he even regret taking a life?

Yes, he does, despite the media trying their damndest to make it seem otherwise

The Zimmerman prosecutors didn't prove that Zimmerman attacked Martin first. They didn't prove that Zimmerman didn't shoot for any other reason that his head was being banged into concrete and he was scared for his life. There were injuries consistent with that and a witness saw Martin on top of Zimmerman. That's the bottom line.

Glad it's over. Now if I can get through this next week of conspiracy theories from all the tire techs I work with that apparently have a second jobs as expert crime scene investigators.

aaaaand its not right to be on top of someone repeatedly punching them in the face and banging their head on the concrete.................aaaaaaaaaaaaand its not right to go harass a kid walking through your neighborhood just because you have a bug up your ass about black guys in hoodies, etc....

not as simple as one side right one side wrong.

That has been my point all along.

That was a brave jury. Let's hope we don't get another OJ situation on our hands.

I went on facebook to write my wife a nice little note while I'm on TDY and I read some of the most ignorant things in my life while scrolling down. I went to high school and grew up in that area. People are special.

I wonder how long this thread will last until Margie expands her patio.

In reality, regardless of what I do or didn't think happened, there was plenty of reasonable doubt for any of the proposed events of the evening.

I'm glad to see justice wasn't perverted in the name of a political agenda.

Regardless, two families lives have been ruined and I suspect the jurors aren't going to have a good time either.

In reply to DirtyBird222:

Was it people saying they're happy about a dead black kid or people saying there needs to be a dead chubby hispani....sorry, white guy?

Grizz it was from both extreme ends and everything in between.

I'm shocked I tell you.

You think what he's been through is no consequences? And how do you know he doesn't regret it?

And finally would you rather he was the one killed? From the audio I heard someone was getting killed that night.

I just don't understand people

See where I come from, you dont shoot someone just because you got your ass kicked. Oh wait. Im from florida. Apparently you do. Thats the problem with the stand your ground law, it doesnt explain what fear for your life is. A little bitch of a person would think differently as say, an ex combat vet. Bad decisions on top of bad decisions. If zimmerman didnt have a gun, I doubt he would have gotten out of his truck. And if treyvon wasnt a punk kid from miami, he prolly wouldnt have beaten zimmerman. just odd how zimmerman didnt testify

As a Floridian, let me say that whatever side of this debate you're on, if the country was waiting for the world's racial, gun control, crime, or any other problems to be solved in Sanford mother berkleying Florida, good luck with that

In reply to Jaxmadine:

All the combat vets I know would give you E36 M3 for calling them little bitches, because they'd have shot the little E36 M3 heel too.

You do shoot someone when they're bouncing your head off the sidewalk, because that E36 M3'll kill you fyi.

just got a rumor via phone of rioting in tampa

I dont think zimmerman would have been killed. Beat up yes, but not killed. In order for him to have shot treyvon, treyvon would have had to have stopped bashing his head into the sidewalk. Amd who is to say treyvon wasnt defending himself at first? Ive been in situations like that. Guy tries to stop you, u tell him to piss off, then guy grabs you. So u beat the E36 M3 outa him. Not saying thats how it went down, never watched any of that crap on tv.
