I wish people would just stop posting shit like this. It's obviously an emotional case so trying to be funny or make jokes definitely isn't warranted.
By the Zimmerman standard he's a white dude who killed a black man as well. Of course, I bet some of the same people who consider Zimmerman a racist KKK white dude will consider Hernandez Latino so it won't start all the fires that this case does if he gets off.
Hopefully every penny he makes from his celebrity status goes to them. Including all the money he got to pay for his lawyers from people sending him legal funds.
Trying to decypher that statement as well. Maybe he's saying, if he gets sued, they'll win that suit, which will protect him from ever being sued again on this act.
IANAL.

Manslaughter still would have required that they didn't think he acted in self defense.

Why don't you be the conduit that starts it then?
This case was decided on by a jury of his peers chosen randomly. It's not some huge huge conspiracy to free a guilty HISPANIC man. The jury found him to be innocent. Do I believe he was? No. I feel he should have been charged with manslaughter. But the evidence wasn't there.
A lot of people are basing their opinions on emotion as opposed to facts. Don't like it, leave America. Don't live in America? Surely every other country in the world has the most perfect legal system, you should go to one of those countries.

He was talking about black on black BTW.
TRASH.
Oh fucking hell.
They'll probably get this too. Then ZImmerman can party it up everyday of his life from now on, profiling as many kids as he fucking wants.
From Wikipedia:
Criminally negligent manslaughter is variously referred to as criminally negligent homicide in the United States. -- It occurs where death results from serious negligence, or, in some jurisdictions, serious recklessness. A high degree of negligence is required to warrant criminal liability. A related concept is that of willful blindness, which is where a defendant intentionally puts himself in a position where he will be unaware of facts which would render him liable
Serious recklessness: Harassing an innocent man while carrying a concealed weapon.
Willful blindness: Stalked an innocent man even after the authorities instructed him to leave him be.
Fact of the matter is, Zimmerman being found not guilty would imply Martin would've been found guilty. He was apparently guilty of walking in the streets at night while being black.

That's a silly gif, but I'm not sure you posted it to be silly based on your earlier posts. You're showboating, come off it.
Instead he would have been shot on sight for 'resisting' arrest.

I'd rather everyone remains peaceful and not give racist assholes more ammunition against non-whites.

Were the statements affirming Zimmerman's character debunked or something? (protesting the Sherman Ware beatings)
Seems unfair to cherry pick evidence that he's racist when there's other evidence showing the opposite.
Edit: I don't know much about the case, this is just stuff I've read in the last few hours.
An unarmed teenager was killed, and his killer doesn't even get manslaughter. Now, how is that justice?

I'm sure Zimmerman, his daddy, and fox news friends will find a way to hide the money he receives from his new found celebrity. They'll have accounts overseas, stuff put in family member's names, etc.

are mods immune to facts?
Yeah how would immunity even be possible here?
Careful though, all you will see is a white truck driver caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

95% chance Zimmerman would lose a civil lawsuit. The burden of proof isn't beyond a reasonable doubt there. All that donation money is going to get eaten up if it gets to that point, which it probably will.

Likelihood of this working is zero. As the bond stuff showed, they aren't exactly criminal masterminds. And it'd be more of a 'we get everything you ever make' thing
Exactly. They should have charged him with manslaughter rather than 2nd degree murder. What happened between the 911 call and when the police arrived is completely up in the air, but he WAS TOLD TO NOT FOLLOW TRAYVON, and indirectly caused everything else to happen.
The DA's wanted to please the public and charged him with murder when they had no real evidence of his motives and who did what first. I believe he did commit murder, but they had no case beyond what they felt was an obligation to charge him with murder because of how the public perceived the killing.
No matter what the verdict was, the state of Florida should understand that "Stand Your Ground" does more harm than good.
They sure as hell aren't immune to hyperbole, as evidenced in this thread.
it's unbelievable

This verdict is blowing up all over and gotdamn at that gif, geezus.
Defense lawyers seem to need to live in that world to give their clients a fair defense.
To be honest, I can't think of a single thing that would prevent a Wrongful Death civil suit, unless FL just has some wacky law about it.
