Totally agree.

There were two clear facts going into this trial.

(1) The kid is dead

(2) Zimmerman is a POS

Whatever the outcome, those facts can't be altered.

Why do you think Zimmerman is a POS? His sweat is about as much of a sweat as Penny Chennery's in the 1973 Belmont.

He's a nobody wannabe cop who gets a hardon carrying a gun.
Add that to the fact that I doubt he cares for blacks very much, the man is a danger to society imo.
With any luck he gets what's coming to him someday.

A nobody? How do you become a somebody ? And I assume from the inference that you consider yourself a "somebody"

Wannabe cop? Maybe.

Cares for blacks? I don't "care for blacks" I care for individuals who I know, a few are black. I assume you believe you "care for blacks" as a symbol of your liberal outlook on life.

A danger to society ? How do you judge this? He's had but one serious incident as far as I know.

We all go through life with our own theories.
I just don't agree with many of yours.

Are there any of the righty posters here that think he's guilty and murdered the boy?

Are there any lefty posters here who think he's innocent and was attacked?

I'm sure i'll get yelled at for going off topic, even though I think it's part of the topic

From the evidence, they don't have enough to get a conviction, so on that part of it, i feel sympathetic towards Zimmerman that he's even in this predicament in the first place.

With that said, i think the bottom line remains that if Zimmerman was unarmed, TM would be alive today.

I know personally, owning a gun has never even crossed my mind, i feel that if you stay out of bad areas and just use your brain and not put yourself in bad positions, you don't need a gun it seems that it could only do more harm than good.

Another problem with guns is that because you own it, have it loaded and are carrying it around, in some sort of odd way, it almost doesnt make sense to have it unless you are going to use it at some point. People don't usually want to spend the time to get a gun license and the money to buy the gun and the ammo unless you actually plan on using it, people who have the thought in their heads "i would never use a gun" don't usually go out and buy them in the first place.

I do have a little problem with Zimmerman being a 'wannabe' cop, im not sure why he just didnt go out and try and be an actual police officer, he could have went to the police academy if that was his passion, but i havent heard why Zimmerman isnt an actual cop, it seems like that's what he was cut out to do in life.

thanks for the response. I deleted that post cause I didn't think it would add to the conversation. but thank you for your response. Nothing about what zimmerman has said or done echoes of doing the right thing to me. His 911 call, his following a kid around, his shooting the kid. But without video or multiple witnesses, he's just not going to get convicted. He just strikes me as a bad guy.

I didn't watch the trial today, but I fail to see how that "grandstanding" by O'Mara takes down the prize. I would hope that the prosecution objected to this statement/question as something the ME could not possibly have any knowledge of. Did they?

This man wins the award for being the most honest of all contributors in this thread from the Right.
He definitely calls it like he sees it. There's no denying.

Don't mention it.
I have the feeling, though, that he'd have to search far and wide
to find the following of mutually admiring back slappers that he finds around here.
Just my opinion - don't let me stop him from trying.

Of the prosecution objected but that was O'Mara's last statement and had no further questions. I am just happy he said that because I have said that to so many people over the last week or so. No professional medical examiner can predict how hard the next hit would have been.
