remember Spike Lee tweeting out the home address of the WRONG George Zimmerman? If the races would have been reversed I bet white Spike would be in jail now.

You are 100% correct sir. I will say before I watched any of the trial I thought GZ was guilty because the media would always play the 911 operator saying we dont need you to do that (follow him) and thats all you heard. It turns out when he said that GZ replied ok. Did he stop at that point probably not but hes the only living witness.
To your point of the prosecution having no case, they no that, and theyve always known that. The only reason theres a trial is the publicity the media brought on. This is why he wasnt arrested and charged for a very long time after the police already knew the facts of the case.
To the yelling help on the 911 call. Right after the incident TM's father said it was not his kid yelling. Why the fuck would the guy wipping someones ass be calling for help? TM had no marks on his body. Of course it was GZ screaming like a little bitch.
I told my wife if that was me I'd rather go down for murder then admit I was screaming like a little bitch.
I'm not sure but what I do know is the only person that brought up race is Travon Martin. He told the girl on the phone he was being followed by a creepy ass cracker, but hey thats ok. Black people can say the n word and call white people anything they want with no backlash at all. My favorite one was when charles Barkley said to a room full of media see this is why I hate white people. I'm not sure how good that went over with his white wife at the time.
Imagine your life as a juror if you come out with a not guilty
It's definitely a no win situation for the jurors. I imagine they will all want to stay anonymous once this is over. I really hope they don't cave because of the pressure and come back with the correct verdict.
If I were betting on this I would wager on them convicting him of manslaughter, which IMO would still be unjust, but at least a legit argument can be made for that charge to stick.

Bootsy didn't you get the memo, white racism is over in American, the Supreme Court just overturned 50 years of voter suppression laws fought tooth & nail to be kept on the books by AG Eric Holder who carried the following in his pocket
"For much of his life, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. carried around something peculiar…an old clipping of a quote from Harlem preacher Reverend Samuel D. Proctor. Holder put the clipping in his wallet in 1971, when he was studying history at Columbia University, and kept it in wallet after wallet over the ensuing decades. What were Proctor’s words that Holder found so compelling? “Blackness is another issue entirely apart from class in America. No matter how affluent, educated and mobile [a black person] becomes, his race defines him more particularly than anything else.”…
words do have consequences CD, before the Duke Lacross team, in Crown Heights NY 1991 where in a three car accident pushing a station wagon being driven by a jew onto the sidewalk, 7 year old Gavin Cato walking on the sidewalk was accidentally killed, right after the car accident the good old Rev Al helped start a race riot that led to the stabbing death of Yankel Rosenbaum by a black guy named Lemrick Nelson, and before that there was Twana Brawley, this is what Rev Al said "“We have the facts and the evidence that an assistant district attorney and a state trooper did this,” Mr. Sharpton said. He called Gov. Mario M. Cuomo a racist and warned that powerful state officials were complicit. When asked whether Ms. Brawley would speak with the state attorney general, Robert Abrams, Mr. Sharpton said that would be like asking someone in a concentration camp to talk to Hitler. "
now we have Zimmerman
then this:
" “It makes you feel kind of angry and kind of bad that race is not a part of this,” said the Rev. Harrold C. Daniels, who has been attending the trial as part of a biracial group of Sanford pastors. “It’s a missed opportunity.”"
and this:
"“Trayvon Martin is Emmett Till!” radio commentator Mark Thompson declared, evoking the name of an African American teen murdered in 1950s Mississippi after being accused of flirting with a white woman. “This is racism perpetrated by violence.”"

Its funny how the media missed this one, and 1 n-word that thought he was bad takes 1 to the chest and its the end of the world.

Don't get me wrong. I think Zimmerman acted in self defense when the thug began whaling on him.
That said, Zimmerman has a HUGE problem. The 911 call told him not to follow. If he listened to them, Trayvon is alive and George is not on trial.
He did not listen to an order by authorities, and did his own thing. You just can't have that in a civilized society. He is guilty of something, not second degree murder for sure. But he needs to serve a couple years. This was completely self inflicted. You just can't have Neighborhood Watch guys following people through neighborhoods with a glock. Bad for business.
Your just wrong your just spewing what you heard from the media, but anyone who knows the actual evidence he did obey, and even if he didn't they cannot prove he didn't. They said stop following him he said ok, and that point stopped and was looking for an address to give to the police. If the prosecution could prove he didnt listen they would have had some evidence which they dont. The fact is hes stuck to his story from day 1 before he had an attorney, and hes the only living witness to tell the story.

If he listened to 911 and disengaged there is no story. He instead was a wanna bee cop and was roaming his neighborhood with a Smith and Wesson. I don't want a mother fucker like this in my neighborhood for sure. The black kid was walking on a public street minding his business and Neighborhood Watch guy elected to get involved for no reason.
Do you know someone who patrols your neighborhood on foot with a loaded gun? Probably not.
Trayvon was a huge piece of shit, but he was not the one who caused this. It was George. If he had listened to 911, there is no trail. That is a fact, and he needs to serve time for being a wanna bee cop.
This is just another example of why Florida is the ass of the United States.
I'm not sticking up for GZ but you just dont know the facts. He was not on a public street. When GZ drove by on his way to go to the store TM was standing on the lawn of a condo that was recently robbed and GZ knew the owner, so he knew the kid didnt belong there. The thing is theres 2 storys the medias and his, and only 1 of them were there. He wasnt patrolling anything, and having a gun isnt a big deal since conceal carry is in almost every state now. I think I read ILL is the only state without some form of conceal carry. Unless there was some video in pitch black that contradicted his story theres just no way they have a case in any way.
He said ok and went to look for an adress when he was jumped. If he didnt say ok I would agree with you that he probably kept following. Theres just no way of knowing what he did after he said ok. The thing is even if he didnt listen and kept looking for TM when TM starts beating him he can shoot to defend himself by law. Personally I dont agree with the law. I think that he should have never left his car.
