Trayvon Martin Case

Thanks for the offer NC Skns. No need. Saden1, I am not collecting on the bet.

While I am convinced the verdict was legally and ethically correct, it does not change the underlying fact that an avoidable tragedy occurred. Rather than gloating or raging over the verdict, let's move forward - black, white, Hispanic, green with purple polka dots - and try to increase awareness and understanding so that our differences can become our strengths not our weaknesses.

Roddy White @roddywhiteTV

All them jurors should go home tonight and kill themselves for letting a grown man get away with killing a kid



Then you have dumbasses like this. Not the first time Roddy White has said something incredibly stupid. I think the Falcons need to have a talk with this moron.

In fact, athletes should really shut up about it unless they've watched the proceedings. My guess is the only one that has is Stephen Curry.

Athletes react after George Zimmerman found not guilty in Trayvon Martin case - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/9476243/athletes-react-george-zimmerman-found-not-guilty-trayvon-martin-case)

what will happen to George Zimmerman now?

The NAACP says they are going to appeal the ruling, and also introduce measures to remove the stand your ground law from every state.

Does that constitute double jeopardy? Can they try him again for maybe a lesser crime??

Stand Your Ground wasn't argued or introduced as far as I know so why does the NAACP introduce it?

If you trusted the justice system to find a man guilty, you must trust it when it finds a man not guilty, or it's just partiality you seek

One of the more rational tweets.

Individuals trust whatever works for them at the expense and disposal of others.

I think I abhor Jessie Jackson with a passion.

Not when you're insensitive to others or blind or in denial.

Zimmerman wanted to play out his fantasy and be a tough guy cop. He engaged Martin, then got his ass beat by a 17 year and shot him. The kid was doing nothing wrong. If Zimmerman saw him breaking into a house then fine, but that simply was not the case. He got away with murder. Plain and simple. The jury should be ashamed of themselves.
