it is sickening that victim blaming won.
A dead man cannot defend his honor from all the smear, lies and distortions made of him by twisted politically partisan people who have chosen to side with a murderer.

I disagree and so apparently did the jury.

Very disappointed.
I hope they take the supposedtobecriminal for everything. I bet that murderer is praising god right now.

The truth can only help. Just being open and honest about it helps. Because you can't solve a problem when people put their fingers in their ears and go "LALALALALA Nope, no problem here LALALALALALA".

I think the point it's trying to get at is that it's hypocritical to pick and choose when to follow the rule of law when it best suits us. At any rate, I also disagree. Aside from being completely unrelated, it's not illogical to support due process but take issue with the laws being applied. (the "Stand Your Ground" law for example)
Edit: ManInTheMirror covered this. Slow reply from mobile.

None, he's making shit up, just like the guy claiming Martin outweighed Zimmerman's fat ass.
And either you agree with the jury's conclusion -- in other words, you think that it is at least reasonable to believe that Zimmerman shouldn't face justice -- or you don't -- in other words, when you say you "agree with the verdict," your statement is meaningless nonsense.
I'm just pointing out the necessary implications of your position.
Can you elaborate? As a non American, still baffled and playing catch up with a lot of this stuff. Where and how can it go from here?
Please stop.
More sickening than someone being killed?
What if it's the house of one of Trayvon's parents or friends?
Was there any clear, decisive evidence that the killing was racially motivated?
Face it: none of us know what happened that night. Seems like only one living person does. Personally, I believe strongly in "innocent until proven guilty". So does the U.S. judicial system. Zimmerman certainly wasn't proven innocent, but that's beside the point.

yep.
So he didn't actually follow Trayvon and kill him that night?

He wasn't found innocent. He was found not guilty of murder. Still doesn't change the truth, that he killed a young man. He's not innocent.
He is 100% guilty of killing an unarmed kid after stalking him. He's admitted to it.

He killed a kid. That wouldn't have happened if he wasn't playing vigilante and following him.
How's that for evidence?
I'm honestly not certain which site it was (a newspaper's site), but I know I saw people discussing it on NeoGAF. (But yes, NeoGAF is a lousy source for actual news.)

How is he not guilty of manslaughter?

You want someone who was judged not guilty to be guilty but those who admit guilt to be free?

Is there a tumbler you are looking at or are you simply looking at the #zimmerman hashtag ?
I don't think anyone is calling him guilty, he's obviously was found not be guilty, but -
- You can disagree with a verdict, there is nothing sickening about it.
- You can be a horrible human being while not being guilty of any crime.
People keep saying this. What happened? Someone please tell! Lol.
This is a battle you'll lose. It doesn't fit the current narrative.

Yeah because Trayvon's death isn't sickening at all right
Not enough evidence for premeditated murder, but more than enough for manslaughter I think.
Child please
Wait, wait, wait. Is it your position that George Zimmerman didn't kill Trayvon Martin at all? Because I thought we were pretty well on the same page about that one, at least.
He was killed in self defense and you all want to crucify the man that was defending himself. So yes, more sickening than him being killed.

On a basic level, TM was shot with Zimmerman's gun and now he's dead. Zimmerman has admitted as much. Any claims of self defense are worthless seeing as there were no witnesses.
Martin was shot with Zimmerman's gun, fuck the narrative. Explain that

The Defense put the doubt in Jury's mind that he killed the kid in self defense. Prosecution wasn't prepared for that defense

He admitted to following and killing Trayvon. He is a killer, fact.

There's more.
Zimmerman was not only found not-guilty of second-degree murder, but he was also found not-guilty of voluntary manslaughter.
So, basically you made up something on the fly out of same base need to defend Zimmerman and got called out on it?
Well, glad we got that cleared up.

Ok. You got me there. I did say "less" sympathetic. That implies I still would feel some sympathy.
