Oh, don't you all worry. Zimmerman will get what is coming to him. With all the anger going down in Florida, there is no chance that he will live through it.

George Zimmerman will die a pathetic death. And that's good enough for me.
NO! Vigilantism is bad and what he deserves is a sentence of jail time not some angry mob lynching him.

If this really sparks riots or even worse vigilantism it will make the situation worse for everyone. It will help the racists who claim that blacks are violent and unruly. It will validate the people who support vigilantism in the way Zimmerman was doing it.

And worst of all it will mean more blood on the streets. Riots from cases like this will spread and people forget the original purpose as they use this excuse to riot and steal and maybe even attack everyone they see as a threat.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

We really do NOT want another Rodney King riots. Everyone suffers.

Fun for the whole family!

I could get BINGO from tumblr in the past two hours.

I've had one argument with a few people who know a friend's brother (including his uncle or something, I don't know). Let's play:

You're racist against white people: Nope.
Derails with hypotheticals: Nope (surprisingly).
Not everything is so simple: Sort of. I got a couple accusations of ignoring evidence.
He was acting in self-defense: Yup. The main crux of their argument, in fact. Complete with ignoring me pointing out the actual events as best we understand them.
The media chose to portray Trayvon as a child: Nope, but I bet it would have gone that way had I not walked away when I realized that they weren't addressing my points and were going in circles instead.
The justice system works: Yup. With those exact words, in fact.
They were both at fault: Hinted, but not outright.
The Jury decided: Yup.
Zimmerman followed his instincts: Yup.
You're overreacting: Surprisingly, no.
Zimmerman was Hispanic, so he can't be white: Yes and no. No references to him being Hispanic, but a claim that he allegedly mentored black kids... at something. All they said was that he "mentored black kids." At what? I have no idea.
Trayvon could have killed him: Yup.
Assorted racial slur free space: Surprisingly, no.
You didn't even know him: Yup. In fact, the last thing someone posted was responding to me saying "how can you not see this" with "because I wasn't there."
Think about how Zimmerman must be feeling: Nope.
Brings up literally anything about Trayvon's character: Surprisingly, no.
Blames Trayvon's appearance: Is there any truth to the claim that he fit the description of the person who burglarized a few house in that neighborhood? If so, I at least understand using this argument, despite it being a stupid argument.
Stop making everything about race: Yup.
Disregards 911 dispatch call: Mostly. They acknowledged the call's existence, but claimed that they didn't tell him not to pursue. They only told him "it wasn't necessary."
Why do you only care about this one case: Yup.
Misconstrued MLK quote: Nope.
You're just as bad for what you're saying about Zimmerman: Sort of. One guy, ignoring all of my other points, got pissy over me pointing out that Zimmerman had no reason to be carrying a gun that night.
The trial wasn't about whether or not he killed him: Nope.
You just like acting mad: Surprisingly, no.
Don't be mad at Zimmerman, be mad at [blank]: Surprisingly, no.

Also, do I get bonus points for the point of "The case is closed, deal with it!"?

I don't want riots. I really really don't.

Funny.

This has taught me that expecting the worst can still leave you disappointed when it actually happens.

There is no preparing for this kinda shit it seems.

Well, nice to know that when a black woman fires a gun into the air to scare someone, it earns her 20 years in prison, but outright killing a black teenager armed with skittles and a can of iced tea doesn't just let you go scot free, but you get hailed as a hero by a whole bunch of sheeple.

Of course, the prosecution might've actually had a case if the police had actually done their job and investigated the crime scene instead of drug testing Trayvon, patching Zimmerman's wounds, and sending him home.

Also, why the fuck didn't the defense have to prove it was self defense?  Almost every other state I know of requires you to prove it's self defense, but in this case it was somehow assumed.  That's stupid.

Its obvious that no conventional justice is gonna happen here. That is why I have concluded that the only way he's ever gonna pay for his actions is through laser guided karma.

Spain take florida back

Confiscate Disney World. They don't deserve to keep the "happiest place on earth".

Force Spain to pay a refund for it.

I could get fucking blackout in 30 seconds from just one of the multitude of Reddit threads on the matter.

Because it went to a jury. The jury doesn't understand law or the court procedure. They get told two conflicting stories and are told to pick which one they like best.

The RR thread hits most of them on its first page.

I just hope the shockingly large group of Reddit racists don't latch on to that thread.
