Is the whole of America as obsessed with the case as much as some VJ members are?

\I disagree on several points

a. I was in DC for the march..TM and his parents are heroes. His likeness was everywhere. His parents were celebrities singing at the mall. TM was a bad kid, fighting, stealing,drugs.He made a bad judgement call to start beating GZ in the face. It is deplorable the black community would make heroes out of the TM and his parents.He is a symptom of what is wrong.. He should be a lesson, a teaching point..not a hero

b. As for the mass killings who says we don't fear those idiots..Of course we do..Us gun nuts would love to plug one of those monsters. Bag them like a deer and stop a mass shooting. I would much rather kill a radical Muslim about to bomb the Boston marathon than a skinny kid. If I had bagged the Boston bomber I would be a hero

C. The reason we fear the TM's of the world is they are only about 3% of the population but committing over 50% of the violent crime.Am i supposed to just pretend it's not true..Come on Marvin, you know the truth.

a. If you feel that way, why do you think GZ is a hero? He started the entire confrontation, yet he's hailed as a saivor because he killed a kid whose only crime was reacting to a situation. If fighting and stealing are the precursor for criminal of the year, you got folks on here that would put TM to shame.

b. Have you noticed no one brings those mass murderers up when it comes to criminal behavior? It's been TM since the verdict. I was the most affected by it, yet you and a few others bring him up more than I ever have.

c. That's a lame excuse and you know it. White commit 100% of white collar crime, and a large percent of rapes, mass shootings and many other crimes.

Nope. And some of the ones who accuse others of being obsessed are the very people who participate in every thread.

So it is not on the news daily then? Why so many comments about it on here?

It's easier to focus on than the actual issues in this country.

A. Absurd..GZ is probably the most hated man in America

B.I guess because as a percentage of violent crime they are not even a blip on the radar. Not even 1 percent of all the murders in the U.S.. There is however another epidemic of violent crime that is over 50% of the murders in the U.S..young black males.

C. Let this sober your thoughts. If young black males, who are about 3% of the population,committed murder in keeping with their demographics. The murder rate in the US would fall by almost 50%. It would be one of the lowest in the world.

a. Not even close. The guy has folks donating money so he can buy a new gun. He goes to a gun shop and gets his picture taken like he's a celebrity. If that's hatred, I would have to see what beloved means.

b. Where are you geting those stats? Whites commit murder at 43.5%. that's a bit higher than the one percent you keep talking about.

c. Blacks make up for 12% of the population. By your numbers, you make it seem like one out of 3 blacks are violent criminals.

My thoughts on black men are always sober, since you know, I am one and my sons are black men.

In 2005, Zimmerman was arrested and charged after shoving an "undercover alcohol-control agent" while a friend of Zimmerman's was being arrested for underage drinking.The charges were subsequently dropped when Zimmerman entered a pre-trial diversion program that included anger management classes.^[

Also in 2005, Zimmerman's ex-fiancée filed a restraining order against him, alleging domestic violence. Zimmerman requested a reciprocal restraining order.

Link where TM was arrested or has a criminal record.

TM was killed while in the process of a brutal assault on a person which may well have resulted in a murder. GZ was found to have been justified in Killing TM for that reason by a jury of his peers under Florida law. You don't like it. Too bad. TM was criminally assaulting another person and was killed for it. Good riddance.

Fortunately TM was killed the FIRST time he brutally attacked someone, therefore GZ likely prevented many other crimes and murders. If more maniacs were shot the first time they attacked someone, our crime rate would be much lower. Too bad the War Veteran in Washington was not carrying a gun when the unarmed juveniles did a "TM" on him.

Who gives a rat's popah about GZ's past "criminal history"? Have I suggested someone should be SHOT for underage drinking or getting a restraining order? Besides, none of that is a conviction and is therefore not a criminal record. If I ever suggest that TM should have been shot for something he did in the past, then you coud have a point. Otherwise, it is nonsensical babbling because you do not like equal protection regardless of race.

No, the court didn't find GZ's actions justified, that's a stretch and a half. What they ruled on was that there was not enough evidence to find guilty GZ of acting illegally. He is innocent of murder, but he killed a very young man and he was only in the position of 'having' to kill that young man because he made bad choices.

As for your 'let's kill anyone who does something wrong to stop them doing something worse theory'. Ho hum.
