Thank you for the petition, Trk. I, literally, had to go into my stash of Xanax over this verdict. I was beginning to hyperventilate. And just think, many of the people who are celebrating this gross injustice are sitting up in church this morning claiming to love God. Go figure it. But if there is indeed such a thing as Karma, many of the people who are celebrating this verdict today, will be rethinking it at some point in the future.

Agree re: "massive error". If they had focused on manslaughter, they might have been convincing. Speculating on Zimmerman's intent was counter-productive. The defense destroyed their effort to portray him as an out-of-control obnoxious vigilante.

Heh heh heh. Yep, I'm sure

Heh heh heh. Yep, I'm sure they looked around our flat for any joints or anything else to bust as well. Much easier than going patrolling for criminals.

Oh please, the point was that

In reply to Maybe you didn't mean it this

Oh please, the point was that I would be happy if someone checked out the guy doing the trolling - not to give him the 3rd degree, but basic neighborhood maintenance.

I found a homeless guy locked in the trash closet inside the building where he'd been sleeping and got locked in. Some kids got into the building late at night, too drunk to make it home. I got them out building, but since it was the public area, not my own apartment, so I guess I should have just minded my own business.

So asking a simple "visiting someone?" is too much to help avoid rapes and break-ins. Funny, the police's questions to my wife were much more intrusive than that.

Just to let you know rallies have been going on because of this verdict. It is after 1 in the morning and many are still standing around talking about it in this small town. I think Florida just turned another shade deeper blue. The college kids just got back from Walmart and told me about it. This has struck a very deep vein here in Florida. I think we are going to see a lot of people in the streets over this for the next 24 hours.

Posting again: NAACP has a petition up requesting the Dept of Justice open a Civil Rights case on this. I signed it and left a personal note on the petition. Sign it and pass it on. I agree with NAACP that Martin's civil rights have been violated. http://www.naacp.org/page/s/doj-civil-rights-petition?source=GZnotguiltyshareTAF&utm_medium=email&utm_source=taf&utm_campaign=GZnotguiltyshareTAF

At least the Sanford Homeowners Association reportedly paid $1 million to Trayvon's family. They need better police, not armed psycho vigilantes.

This is a dangerous place;

This is a dangerous place; and we were supposed to be the safest place in the world.

Now they just made all entrants into the Texas Legislature hand in their feminine deodorant products but anyone, anyone could just walk into the great State House with guns?

This is nuts.

I would never go to Texas again.

I really would not!

You take a gun into a fistfight!

Well, if the other guy dies.....?

This is really strange.

But I do not blame the jury on this mess.

I really do not blame the prosecution either.

Beyond a reasonable doubt.

Oh well....

Someone being stalked felt fear and escaped being raped. Another person who was stalked wound up getting shot. Train your Black sons how to shot under pressured situations

This verdict has just made every fist fight in America into a gun fight, and made Florida, if not the nation, into a more dangerous place.

He who brings a gun to the fist fight wins, over the dead body of the other. Go out armed or don't go at all.
