You know, one of the more despicable comments I heard on MSNBC last night was the whole race mumbo jumbo and how whites were happy Casey Anthony got off. I did a double take. I don't know a single person that doesn't think that hoe deserves to burn in hell.

I don't know a single person who knows who Casey Anthony is, including myself. Nor will I be arsed enough to google it.

I did and was immediatly sorry.

See, old age and experience wins out again!

She's basically human garbage encouraged by the MTV attitude that children Are accessories.

Okay, so how does that relate to the Zimmerman trial?

Because it was also a circus, just a different type of circus.

I'm assuming because it's another case where everyone and their aunt immediately decided that she had to be guilty based on the media's portrayal of her, and was furious when they were found not guilty.

Though from what I've seen of this thread (I may be wrong) some of the people who are insisting that Zimmerman did nothing wrong because he was found not guilty are the same people saying Anthony should have been thrown away to rot.

That pretty much sums it up

It was used as an example by a few pundits about how "white people always get away with crime" in Florida.

It's also been a pretty prevailing opinion with the Martin Protest crowd.

Any riots yet? I need a laptop and can always use a new tv for the bedroom.

Wait, your equating folks who are saying Zimmermans guilt was not proven due to lack of any evidence, are the same people who think that someone should have been thrown away due to lack of evidence? That's totally ass backwards.

There have been some protests but the police have them locked down with bean bag guns

No Frazz, no riots... yet :-\

I am dissapoint!

Yeah the whole "there will be riots" thing was just hysteria to keep you watching the news after the verdict. There was never enough anger down there for anything to happen and it's way too hot in florida right now to riot.

I'd say it has a lot more to do with a heavy police presence preventing the ball from really getting rolling. Florida has been pretty quiet, but out in L.A. they've certainly been trying.

The police presense didn't prevent anything. The right wing blogs said the minorities would be rioting, the police said "ok sure lets prepare just in case" then it didn't happen. It wasn't because the police were there. That's never stopped riots in the past.

Oakland riots all the time, so that's not really worth anything.

Actually, Oakland rioted

Most riots that the police fail to prevent are because they are reacting, instead of being prepared before hand. Most people are not going to charge a police line when they haven't been completely fired up yet. Seeing that force there ready to react does a very good job at keeping tempers under control.


As you said, Oakland riots all the time, but the police were prepared for it this time, and they've kept it to a minimum. Police fired (rubber bullets) on a near flashpoint in L.A., and there were some issues in New York last night that they were able to shut down before it got going as well.

Had local governments just said "it's nothing but right wing hype" and done nothing, things would have gotten a lot worse at those locations, and most likely others.

Could someone tell me why they didn't go for an easier-to-convict manslaughter charge instead of murder 2? Sorry if it's been covered already, feel free to link me to it.

They did, Manslaughter was something he'd been charged with as well, and was found not-guilty on.

Wouldn't have mattered if they dropped the 2nd Degree charge, they still didn't even prove manslaughter.

Here is what Roddy White said, wide receiver of the Atlanta Falcons.

"Roddy White ✔ @roddywhiteTV

All them jurors should go home tonight and kill themselves for letting a grown man get away with killing a kid"

Well if you ever want to get out of Jury Duty, just tell the judge you are afraid for you life if you make a decision that goes against the Media.

I liked Victor Cruz's statement where he said that he gives it a year before the hood catches up with Zimmerman...

He actually apologized for that at least. Still a d-bag move though.

I wonder how many people will cry that "Justice has finally been done!" if that happens.

You mean he was instructed to apologize by his Agent, his true colors shine.

Casey Anthony disappeared so will zimmerman.

He needs to move out of Florida

Roddy also apologized with this gem: I understand my tweet last nite was extreme. I never meant for the people to do that. I was shocked and upset about the verdict. I am sorry.

So much like Cruz, his agent probably said, "Are you an idiot?!"

This is why Zimmerman will always be hunted through life...

Because even a year later, our media is still telling lies about it.

Z never uttered those words. It's clear where the real "undeniable hatred" is coming from.

Ok... umm... Dakka won't let the link work.

Yeah Nancy Grace is an abomination of lies of the propaganda media.

Remember when the Media was about the truth and getting to the bottom of the story? Now it's just one side vs the other all the time as a panel to express there motives.
