"Had a gun-toting Trayvon Martin stalked an unarmed George Zimmerman, and then shot him to death... DO I EVEN NEED TO COMPLETE THIS SENTENCE?"

Gabrielle Union
"Help! What's the proper procedure when you're followed by a random armed nutbag returning home from getting candy & iced tea?"

Judy Blume
"Not surprised. But distraught. Saw 'Fruitvale Station' tonight. How ironic to come home to this verdict."

Wil Wheaton
"Stalking and shooting unarmed teenagers because you're a paranoid racist! AMIRIGHTGUYS?! YEAH!#F***YouGeorgeZimmermanDieInAFire"

Wheaton followed that with another tweet:
"Actually, don't die in a fire, George Zimmerman. Live your whole miserable life knowing you killed an innocent child for nothing."

Nancy Grace
"What this all will amount to in the end...that's for history for decide #ZimmermanTrial"

Donnie Wahlberg
"The most appropriate thing I can think of to say right now, is a prayer for Trayvon Martin and his family."

"For me this has always been about a young boy murdered for walking home. No matter his race. Stand your ground is a horrible law."

"My heart is heavy...for all who knew and loved #TrayvonMartin. His life mattered. This is shameful."

Al Sharpton had a long response
"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."

While Jim Gaffigan had a short one.
"Ugh."

"My heart hurts."

i used to blame the prosecution. i used to think that it could be the jurors fault if GZ walks. but its not, its the SYG laws. after research, i saw cases where people shot and killed over anything from adultry to basic arguments, i saw cases were the accused chase down unarmed civilians, and they get off free. this SYG shit is all the reason y GZ was able walk. it doesnt even matter in FL who starts the fight, basically if u can prove that u simply felt threatened at any point, u have a license to kill.

it all begins and ends with these ridiculous SYG laws. something has to be done about that in FL b4 nething else.​

This verdict fucked me up inside. My heart goes out to the Martin family.

I struggle everyday to have faith in this country but as usual this country has let me down.

This country is filled with white supremacists but it is the one's in power that are a threat.

Around an hour after the verdict, Zimmerman's father tweeted: "Our whole family is relieved. Today... I'm proud to be an American. God Bless America! Thank you for your prayers!"

Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, tweeted "Lord during my darkest hour I lean on you. You are all that I have. At the end of the day, GOD is still in control. Thank you all for your prayers and support. I will love you forever Trayvon!!! In the name of Jesus!!!"

fuck the country bro. have faith in your people. the country is not run by the people, it doesn't operate in the best interest of its people. it operates in the best interest of the people running it.

they don't give a fuck about regular white people either

they just give less than a fuck about us. and the white folks just see the people running it as themselves so that keeps them at bay....

Fla. woman Marissa Alexander gets 20 years for "warning shot": Did she stand her ground?

(CBS) - Last Friday, Jacksonville mother Marissa Alexander was sentenced by a Florida judge to 20 years in prison for firing what she says was a "warning shot" into the wall after a physical altercation with her husband, Rico Gray.

The case has set off yet another controversy involving the state's "stand your ground" law, which is under intense scrutiny after the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in February. Critics, including Congresswoman Corrine Brown (D-Fla.), are crying foul.

Like I said. Not guilty. AND, he is about to get paid doing speaking engagements for the gun lobbies, NRA, Fox News, book deal. All of it. I predicted that shit in this very thread. I know how white folks work--they prop of their failures so they don't have to live below black folks. The only thing blacks need to do is use law to strike back like the gays do. They go after any organization that supports who and what they don't like. They go after tax exempt status off any company who doesnt fine or fire who speaks against them. Blacks need to keep track of every organization trying to put money into Zimmerman's pockets. That includes Taafe, Osterman, and the gym owner, etc. Amanda Knox got millions for her story. The girls in cleveland got a million just to live from donations. Best believe book and tv deals are on the works. The Martins won't get much, if anything at all.

I've seen this many times. As a race, we won't do anything BUT complain. Like i always say, we need to be petty and overly aggressive with law and financial hits like the gays. Thats simple. Marching dont do shit!

 

[max-dawg]

the pitiful prosecution team DEMONSTRATED this but did NOT actually ask the jury, "how could he possibly pull the gun from this position?"

this leads to the logical explanation of why Trayon's body was so far from the concrete where they were fighting.

Trayvon was likely standing... SCREAMING... walking backwards when zimmerman pulled the trigger. that's why the screaming STOPPED when the gun went off.

why can i deduce this but the prosecution left it open for the jury to make-up their own conclusion or buy into the defense story?

I think the scuffle started and Tray felt like GZ was no longer a threat and was like "man shut the fuck up no one trying to kill/hurt you" then proceeded to back away to go on about his business when GZ pulled his gun and fired

Was having a blast last night in Atlanta at the Funk Jazz Kafe festival...

I got a buzz from my CNN app about the verdict...

I was in a state of shock for a good 30 seconds just staring at my phone....Not Guilty Speechless...Not Guilty

I showed it to my wife who was with me.

A night of fun was ruined and I was just shocked.

What message does this send to us as black men especially our young black kids/boys

I pray for the Martin family, and I pray that the Zimmerman's never know a moment of peace or happiness for the rest of their lives.
