Obviously everyone that is crying foul about the George Zimmerman verdict has not lived in an area prone to robbery, vandalism, taunting, and terror from teens. It's time for parents to start parenting and not allow their children to be out late at night. People have the right to protect themselves and their property. He wasn't just walking home, my guess is that he was taunting Zimmerman and looking for a fight. I am truly sorry for his parents and their loss, it can't be easy.
Coverage of the Zimmerman trial has caused CNN to reach its lowest point in CNN's history. The Zimmerman case is NOT major national news. Coverage of it is sadistic entertainment. Here is what people care about: jobs, the economy, health, education, our children, our environment, and how we can help make our country and our world a better place.
I was impressed by both sides. But, the prosecution was brilliant and so was the judge. Zimmerman intended on taking action and he did without remorse. He judged, convicted and killed this kid because he was " in the mind set that this hooded kid was a typical criminal that always gets away but, not this time in his neighborhood." It was cold and calculating decision and so will the jury be for George hopefully.
The thing that got me was George Zimmerman's face the whole trial. He was cold and stern. I would have been crying. Just knowing a kid was killed would have devastated me and guilty or not I would have had I'm sorry look to the family. I think his actions say it all. He intended on getting his man as "a wanna be cop." He was prepared to kill this so called intruder into his world. He is paranoid and cold and calculating. Only he was not a flashlight cop but a man with a fully loaded weapon against a kid. And concrete does not move. That was ridiculous analogy. As a person fighting for my life I would have bust him to the white meat to save my life and live. So sorry Defense that did not fly. There is no comparison on that.
