Trayvon Martin

[habsheaven]

were you scared by all the people judging zimmerman when facts weren't known?

No, as I said, it is to be expected around here. You can check all my posts in the thread. I haven't judged Zimmerman or Martin.

I was concerned about all of the conservatives who tried to paint Trayvon as a two bit drug dealing street thug that deserved to die.

being a street thug and deserving to die are two different things.

the 2 biggest unknowns here are; who was screaming for their life on the 911 call and what the conversation was with trayvon and his gf with their call (was never released, that i know of)

there have already been mobs, so if zimmerman is not found guilty, we will be back to the OJ days

As the AP article points out, proving 2nd degree murder will be dang near impossible. I think that Zimmerman was charged with 2nd degree murder as a happy medium. By charging him they appease the masses who have turned this into a circus and by charging him with 2nd degree murder they avoid any claim that they are going easy on him.

The catch is that by charging him with 2nd degree murder instead of a lesser charge that would be easier to prove he will most likely go free. Witness statements that he was being beaten, video of injuries to the back of his head, doctor reports of a broken nose and Florida law will make it dang near impossible to convict him meaning he will go free and can not be charged again.

More like the Rodney King days.

The media creates these stories for profit, pure and simple. Tons of people died since this case, many in more horrendous ways. The media pushes out cases like this because it will drive ratings and fill needed content for at least 1 year.

The disgusting part is that there are a lot of people (to include Martin) that deserve scrutiny and full prosecutor/lawyer/media attention, but don't because they don't fit into a racism (Martin/Zimmerman Case, Rodney King, Duke LaCrosee) or Celebrity (OJ, Lindsey Lohan) mold.

The scariest part is I feel that this 2nd degree murder charge is politically motivated. 2nd degree murder will be TOUGH to prove. Manslaughter would have been tough enough. Now you have to prove that Zimmerman killed Martin intentionally. I think in 15 minutes I personally could provide responsible doubt in the mind of one juror. Then the riots/racial attacks will begin when Zimmerman is found innocent. Get ready for chaos.

I agree. I don't see Zimmerman being found guilty. There's just too much needed and while they may have unreleased facts, the evidence that we have now just doesn't seem to point to an unreasonable doubt.

Zimmerman will NOT get a fair trial as the media has tainted it to much. CNN, NBC, and other Mainstream media have found Zimmerman guilty. He is DONE. If for some reason he is found not guilty and the THUG MOBS, Black Panther's, Etc want to start rioting in the streets and taking it out on the Whites which had nothing to do with this i say LET them bring it on. I am so tired of having to watch everything i say or do to appease the ones that keep going back 400 years as if they were there. Its time for the Whites/Hispanics/Etc to start standing up for our race like the blacks stand up for theirs. I say we need a Strong Spokesman to show up every time a BLACK man kills a White/Hispanic/ETC and make dang sure its tried as a HATE CRIME.

You already do. Pick your favorite news commentator on Fox or better yet go to rush.

I disagree. The media always paints the suspect as guilty until proven innocent, but our courts still treat the person as innocent until proven guilty.

I mean TAKE A REAL stance and show up when a BLACK man kills an innocent White person. But i know that will never happen as its not a hate crime for a black man to kill a white man. Its only a hate crime when a white/hispanic person kills a black man. I am ready to stand up to the BS and call it what it is. A COMPLETE PILE OF crap. This case should fire up the White/Hispanic people like no other.
