Zimmerman Protest At full force

[Fredkrueger100]

I know this is getting old but it pisses me off every time I see it. There are protests taking place all across the nation. Beyonce and her loser husband are attending one. They even have little kids holding signs that say "Am I next". I mean, they will do anything to try and switch the blame from Martin to Zimmerman. I just can't wait until all of this blows over. But I have a feeling that they won't let up until the federal government does something. I just don't think they are gonna be able to. Zimmerman didn't do anything wrong and they all know it. They just can't take the fact that Martin got killed. He was up to no good and tried to beat the piss out of someone and was shot for it. Every liberal article also has to say that Martin was "unarmed". Well he was not unarmed. He had two fists and the concrete. Here is the story:

Outside federal courthouses in more than 100 cities across the country, people are rallying in hopes of provoking the Department of Justice to file civil rights charges against George Zimmerman one week after he was found not guilty in the death of Trayvon Martin.

Organized by Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network, the "Justice for Trayvon" vigils are scheduled to take place at 12 p.m. local time throughout 101 cities nationwide, according to the organization's news release.

Sharpton assembled preachers to hold prayer vigils and rallies outside courthouses to spark the Justice Department "to investigate the civil rights violations made against Trayvon Martin," according to a news release.

"We are trying to change laws so that this never, ever happens again," Sharpton said to supporters who had gathered outside the New York City Police Department headquarters in New York this morning, The Associated Press reported.

Sharpton will be joined by Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, and brother, Jahvaris Fulton, in New York City, the news release said. Meanwhile, Martin's father, Tracy Martin, will stand with supporters in Miami.

Zimmerman shot and killed Martin in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012. Zimmerman, 29, said he shot Martin, 17, in self-defense, while prosecutors argued that Zimmerman "profiled" Martin and concluded he was a criminal.

The case incited a firestorm of debate around the issues of gun control, stand-your-ground laws and race relations that remain pervasive even after a jury found Zimmerman not guilty of second degree murder and manslaughter one week ago.

While the Justice Department released a statement after the verdict saying its investigation into whether the shooting was motivated by racial pretense is ongoing, a petition by the NAACP calling for a federal prosecution of Zimmerman gained hundreds of thousands of signatures within the first few hours of the jury's decision.

Even President Obama has weighed in on the polarizing court decision. At a news conference in the White House briefing room on Friday, the president said Zimmerman's acquittal was frustrating to the African American community because of a "history that doesn't go away,"

President Obama: 'Trayvon Martin Could Have Been Me'

"Travyon Martin could have been me 35 years ago," the president said. "In the African-American community at least, there's a lot of pain around what happened here. I think it's important to recognize that the African-American community is looking at this issue through a set of different experiences and a history that doesn't go away."

Here is another story on another liberal site: http://news.yahoo.com/across-us-people-rally-justice-trayvon-171951320.html
Really is sad that this crap is happening. So many people that are blind to the facts. You either have to be an idiot or just blind. I think its a little of both.

that is total bull manure!!! Zimmerman did all sorts of things wrong. like continue to follow Martin after 911 dispatch advised him not to. don't think anyone disputes Z was at least partially responsible for what happened.

Z never should have been charged with murder 2 .. state prosecutor set bar to prove guilt so high it was not possible to convict. which is reason a not guilty verdict was correct. NOT because Z did nothing wrong.

this is a good part of why a LOT of folks are PISSED! prosecutors should be fired for pursuing wrong charges. this case was designed to lose from the get go....

have never thought what Z did justified spending 30 years in jail ... but walking with NO penalty for killing someone is not right either. without question Z initiated chain of events that ended up with M getting shot.

I didn't know we could or should be penalized for acting in self defense!

Are you basing this assumption on the phone call that was doctored by the media, or the original?? Zimmerman was returning to his vehicle to meet police when the confrontation happened, he was NOT following Martin. Have you looked at the map of the scene and the timeline of the call so you would know that Martin was shot just yards from his father's house and that he had plenty of time to have already been in the house before the shooting took place?? Even *IF* Zimmerman had been following Martin after the dispatcher told him "we don't ned you to do that", Zimmerman was well within his rights to do so, a dispatcher has no authority to tell a citizen what to do.

Zimmerman had every right to be where he was, Martin had every right to be where he was. Although there is no indication he did so, Zimmerman had every right to ask Martin what he was doing, and Martin had every right to tell him to pi$$ off.

However, Martin had no right to punch Zimmerman in the nose, and certainly no right to repeatedly slam Zimmerman's head into the sidewalk, Zimmerman did have the right to shoot Martin to stop the attack.

You are correct, Zimmerman should never have been charged with murder, he should never have been charged PERIOD!

Well said!

What Zimmerman did is not how a responsible CCW'er should act. What Martin did was not how any person should act. What the state did to Zimmerman is a travesty. What the federal government is currently doing to him is reprehensible.

No one wins, which is why it's so VERY critical to be beyond reproach when carrying.

Serious question, what did Zimmerman do that is "not how a responsible CCW'er should act"??

what horse crap!!! unless you were there ... you don't know what actually happened. in fact NO one knows what actually happened except for Zimmerman and the other person is dead.

how do you know M punched Z in the nose ... for all we know Z could have wacked himself in the nose and wacked himself in the head. in near total darkness none of the witnesses could clearly see what happened. not being able to prove what happened is a far cry from assuming what Z claimed happened as the truth.

there's a butt-load of inconsistencies in Z's taped testimony. Z claims M hid behind bushes before jumping him... problem is nearest bush is some 25 yards away. there was NO blood splatters found on Z despite claiming to shot M at point blank range... etc. etc... the list of inconsistencies goes on and on a....

but the bottom line is burden of proof for murder 2 belongs to state. bar rightly is pretty high, making it all but impossible to reach. hence why verdict was correct... it was the wrong charge!!

without question Z initialed the confrontation that ended up shooting M... but don't think anyone believes Z followed M with express purpose of shooting M.

if this happened in Oklahoma ... results would be completely different.

unless I'm mistaken ... it's been drilled into AS folks by cops that hang out here ... for CCW holders burden of proof shooting was justified belongs to the CCW holder.

I can not sit here and see someone that is supposed to be for the 2A sit here and say that GZ should have gotten something for using self defense to save his life. Since when is following someone to not lose sight of them a crime? How is that wrong? I probably would have done the same thing. But for you to sit here and say that he was in the wrong is unreal. What else did GZ do wrong? You said that he did all sorts of things wrong so what were they? The last time I checked he didn't do anything "wrong". Should he have gotten out of the car? Probably not. But that isn't doing something wrong. That isn't a crime to follow someone. Especially when you are on the phone with the police. And he didn't continue to follow Martin after the dispatcher told him not to. He stopped. That was proven. Martin is the one that did all the wrong. And that is why GZ was found not guilty. He had no guilt. So you think he should have gotten something for exercising his 2A rights? Who's side are you on? Because it sure doesn't sound like you are on the 2A side.
