Who were the 10 that voted yes? Wait, I think I can figure out from the long GZ thread.

Time for another poll? :hmm:

BTW I believe one was stated as an honest mistake so that makes only 9 to find.

GZ profiled TM, he got out of his car (Fu$king Punks!!!, Azzholes always get away!!!), he followed and then confronted TM, a fight started, and when TM was backing off, GZ grabbed by the hoodie, shoved the gun into his chest, and shot him with a hollowpoint bullet!!!

The prosecutor proved beyond all doubt that zimmerman executed Trayvon. Zimmerman failed to prove that it was self defense, and should be found guilty.


This reminds me of Bush voters after the 2004 debates. The disconnect with reality is as impressive as it is sad.

I have been watching parts of the trial and the prosecution has been very weak. They really haven't done much to prove the case. The arguments they used were very weak and the defense would easily be able to counter them. The defense so far has done an excellent job.

I don't think that GZ should have went after TM but based on what I have seen so far I believe GZ will be found not guilty.

I am also worried about riots breaking out if GZ is found not guilty.

But what was the process? Went up to Trayvon , pulled his gun, trayvon tried to attack to defend himself, then got shot?

Apparently it must be something like Zimmerman mind-controlled Trayvon into coming back from his house, broke his own nose, and then laid on the ground while waiting for him to come back. And then when Trayvon leaned over to check on Zimmerman, because he is such a conscientious young man, Zimmerman whipped out his gun and shot him.

Who have based their opp opinions on just the evidence in the case and not from a bias point of view?

Am I the only one who's sick of this case and wants it to be over so that monstrosity thread will finally drop off page one? To me the case is a clear acquittal which makes it not all that interesting anymore.

112 people reek now.

...Is that because 112 people think it's possible that a black teen is capable of initiating violence when all of the evidence points in that direction?

Do you have some sort of an interest in maintaining the belief that blacks can do no wrong and that it's always big bad Whitey causing all the problems? One of the reasons why this case is so racially charged is because the facts are helping to concretize truths the black community fears--that it is a complete failure and that many of its problems are self-inflicted. Rather than take responsibility, blacks would prefer to blame Whitey and call people who point it out "inbreds".

Whose "our" etc-parents slave owning love? My family never owned slaves. Most peoples families never owned slaves. That is why whitey is stupid for the White Guilt they often practice.

That is the exact reason it is interesting.

Has it started yet?
No, this is one of those rare cases when there are two defense teams and no prosecution, at least based on the arguments from both groups I assume they are both for the defense.

so why do you think it is a huge national story?

It's a big national story for many reasons. None of them justifies the longest thread in all AT history. It isn't more important than every other issue in the world.
