    The police investigated and determined that Zimmerman acted in self defense.

    So far, no one has come up with any evidence to prove otherwise.

    So what are we all going to do?

    Are we simply going to lynch Zimmerman anyway because he's white and the boy he shot was black?

    Or will we give him a kangaroo court proceeding and then lynch him?

    What's the plan everybody?

    Zimmerman should see due justice, but he should not be lynched.

    Let justice be done, that's all I want. Where did you get the idea something else was going to happen?

    What do you think will happen since the Nation of Islam has put out a dead or alive wanted poster on Zimmerman. What's that sound like? That they're asking him to show up for baba ghanoush and tea?

    A man chased down and killed an unarmed boy. I don't care what race the boy was. He was gunned down simply because he "looked" suspicious. The man has no right to claim self defense because any danger he was in he put himself in. He followed the kid. He pulled a gun on him. He did his part by calling the cops. And that's ALL he had to do. He was never in danger.

    If it wasn't for him an innocent child would still be alive.

    He belongs on death row.

    No reason to lynch him. But it's kind of messed up once you gather all the facts. I guess you guys don't have anyone in your lives that you care about. This is a completely unnecessary event that was caused by a man trying to take the law in to his own hands.

    And I can tell some of you guys literally do not care about human life.

    You cannot change their law. Yes this case will most likely make amendments to "STAND YOUR GROUND LAW", but if you truly believe in justice, dealt by the courts, Zimmerman will most likely get off unless evidence is produced tot he contrary. Having witnesses corroborate your story makes it very hard for the police to doubt any part of his story.

    To those claiming they want Justice, but wont accept the current status of the Zimmerman case, it sound like you don't want justice, you want your justice as perceived by you, not the court. Let the case evolve, let the police to their job.

    Have outrage for the LAW (get it changed), but do not make this a race based outrage. If Zimmerman was within the law, nothing you can do.

    Wait, what?

    For all we know, the gun shot was the only thing that prevented the teen from beating the neighbourhood watch man to death. It seems he had him on the ground and was beating the crap out of the man.

    I guess the moral of this story is, when it's a black man who is attacking you, you should just lie down and die instead of defending yourself.

    I hope people are aware that it is possible to do violence to another person even when you're unarmed.

    Anyway, the police concluded at the scene, based on the physical evidence, that Zimmerman acted in self-defense.

    The Justice Department can conduct its own investigation, but they will come to the same conclusion.

    What will happen then?

    Here's a real twist. Jesse Jackson wants to repeal laws that allow people to defend themselves. This change in the law may help the criminal class, but it does nothing to help law-abiding Americans.

    You mean when Zimmerman was screaming for help?

    The man screaming for help was Zimmerman. At least according to the police report and witness accounts.

    http://news.yahoo.com/video/orlando...ins-george-zimmerman-voice-mail-28712026.html

    So again, the moral of the story is that when you are potentially being beat to death by a black man you should just forfeit your life and lie down and die.

    If you out yourself in danger, you have no right to shoot and claim self defence.

    Weren't slave patrols abolished after the Civil War?

    Do we still have sundown towns in America?

    Do you really want to live in a country where a paranoid racist can follow someone and then shoot him down like a dog in the street because he thinks he has that right?

    Would you be so understanding if someone killed your relative in such a case?

    Do you think it's good public policy to allow such incidents to happen without consequences?

    Would you get upset if someone shot you in similar circumstances?
