The reaction to the Zimmerman verdict is clear and incontrovertible evidence of the complete stupidity of the American populace. It makes me fear for my children and theirs. With these type of people breathing the air, drinking the water and consuming the perishables how can our species be expected to survive?
If Zimmerman had been black or Trayvon Mexican/White no one would know either of their names.
And yet:
"The defense did such an excellent job at muddying the waters," he said. "For instance, what difference was it whose scream you heard or who's on top? Is that relevant? The defense made those huge issues."
-- Jay Bryant, program director WAGG Birmingham
No, Jay, it's completely irrelevant whether Zimmerman was attempting to protect himself or not. The crux of self defense cases rests on who had the better haircut. Idiot.
This man should be neutered and not allowed to breed.
"It isn't about the evidence; it isn't about guilt or innocence," said Hezekiah Jackson, the president of Birmingham's NAACP chapter. "It's about criminalization and what those jurors felt that Trayvon Martin represented."
Ah, so we have trials these days to determine what people represent. And we should just put others in jail because they didn't represent correctly? IDIOT. The trial WAS about the evidence and the evidence showed the man defended himself. Innocent of the charges brought.
All them jurors should go home tonight and kill themselves for letting a grown man get away with killing a kid
-- Roddy White, Atlanta Falcons
How about he kills himself and eliminates the seven brain cells he has.
Bunch of fools plan a "Missing Trayvon rally in Birmingham.
Right. How about you take your stupid butt home and take care of your OWN kids. How many of you knew Martin? How many of you would care if he'd been mowed down in Southside in a driveby? Would you march then? Sit down and STFU.
Trayvon got the death penalty for buying Skittles in a hoodie. I understand it, but still...
-- Jeffrey Toobin, CNN
Shoot him in the face. On TV. I'd watch.
Deleted tweet urging violence
-- Victor Cruz, NY Giants
Go violent on his ignorant butt.
Hundreds marched in NYC, LA and other towns, blocking off intersections and freeways
Pepper spray and rubber bullets. Then if they don't move? Lock and load.

No hysterical ignorance any greater than that of the federal government.
Attorney General Eric Holder, in his first post-verdict comments, confirmed Monday during a speech in Washington, D.C., that his department continues to investigate while signaling concern for the position of the Martin family and those -- such as the NAACP -- pressuring the DOJ. He said the department is "mindful of the pain felt by our nation" over the "tragic, unnecessary shooting death" of Martin.
"The Justice Department shares your concern -- I share your concern," Holder said.
He added that the shooting provides an opportunity to speak "honestly" about the charged issues involved in the case, and that "we must not ... let this opportunity pass." Holder even appeared to suggest the possibility of bias in this case, saying it's important to address "underlying attitudes, mistaken beliefs and stereotypes that serve as the basis for these too common incidents."
Translation:
We don't like it no mo' than ya'll do dat dis creepy ass cracker done gots away wif' bustin' a cap in dis homey. We ain't gonna let dis light brown honkey walk free, cuz. "
Absolutely pathetic. The entire administration should be impeached.

I'm getting really tired of this "he got kilt for nothin' but buyin' skittles and wearin' a hoodie."
And
"that creepy ass cracker just profile him cause he was dress like a gangster..."
Well GUESS WHAT.
Burglaries in that neighborhood had been repeatedly committed by people dressed in dark hoodies. BLACK people dressed in dark hoodies. His suspicions were entirely reasonable.
I've followed "kids" roaming my neighborhood who I knew didn't live there to see what they were up to. More often than not, they take off when they realize somebody is watching them. And what should I do if they hide and ambush me? I've taken down suspicious license plates. And I've caught at least one burglar by watching, following and paying attention.
Yeah. I saw a black guy in black clothes creeping around a house. He didn't belong in the neighborhood. Cops TOLD me to keep him in sight. And when they wrote up the report they told me that if that every happened again and I felt me or my family were in danger (he was armed with hedge clippers) I should shoot him until one of two things happened -- he stopped moving or I was out of bullets. And don't waste time going for the shoulder or knees, shoot for the torso. Biggest target, most likely to put him down.
If six planes leaving O'Hare were blown up by Chinese men wearing togas, don't you think the next Chinese man strolling through the lobby in a toga would be eyed with suspicion by any reasonable person?
Or if you owned a store and the last six german shepherds to walk by bit a customer, what would you think when you saw a seventh headed your way?
Profiling is natural, normal and reasonable. People should be TRAINED to profile, not to pretend it doesn't exist. There's an entire segment of the DOJ devoted to just that: Developing criminal profiles.
I haven't been mad in almost a year, but this is pushing me to the edge of it.

@piersmorgan
I find it very hard to accept that it's 'lawful' to shoot an unarmed 17yr-old boy dead as he walks home. #Zimmerman #RIPTrayvon
-
He tried to imply that to his brother and Zimmerman's brother made him look like a dumb ass...
-
It's the stubbornness of educated intelligent members of our government and media that gets to me. Dumb people of course aren't going to get it and will always speak on emotion.
But for people like Piers to say after everything that has come out thatzimmerman shot an innocent young man just buying a snack is outlandish. That type of shit is not okay. For holder our fucking attorney general to not know and respect the law in this case is mind boggling.
I understand wanting to investigate more. I really do. They should investigate. They should investigate why people of any age feel that violence is what you use any Time you don't like something. Notice Zimmerman called the police. Martin called his fists.
-
Everyone one of those making noise over this verdict would have not allowed Zimmerman a trial had they been in charge. They'd have had him shot without due process. Social media gives fucking morons too much voice, and sadly, some hear it and give it credibility.

We live in a society where "don't get involved" is most people's motto, and many take that to also mean that anyone that does "get involved" is starting trouble. You're supposed to leave the trouble makers alone, or else YOU are the trouble maker. Zimmerman should have known that Trayvon was a young volatile black that would attack him if he was followed, and thus should not have followed him.
If you have an agenda, and you can't make facts fit, you simply scream irrelevant shit over and over until it becomes true. Keep saying Trayvon died because he bought some skittles, and it matters not how fucking moronic you sound saying it, eventually many will think it's a fact.

Here is the lesson that ought to be gleaned from this:
If you are in a place that you are not supposed to be, you are asked what you are doing there, and you decide to sucker punch the person that actually lives there: You might get shot.
Trayvon would be alive today if he had simply responded with the following when asked what he was doing there: I'm walking to my dads house sir, he lives right around the corner.
Instead he threw the first punch and struck a dude that just happened to be packing a gun.

To be fair, I don't think Zimmerman ever spoke to him. I could be wrong about that. I think he saw the kid and then called the police while creeping on him.
Fact still remains that Trayvon had no reason to attack him. People can shout all they want about Trayvon being stalked by an armed white man. Zimmerman didn't draw his weapon until he was being attacked. Martin had no reason to attack him. Be creeped out? Call the police? Yell for help that an older guy is stalking him?
Sure. But if we allow that pounding people any time they weird us out is legal, we're going to have a lot more problems in this country than one tragic shooting.

The hole in the logic of justifying Trayvon attacking Zimmerman because he had a gun is that I can pretty much guarantee that if he knew that Zimmerman had a gun, knowing he did not, he would not have attacked him.

Bullspit. Zimmerman had the gun out waving it in the air chasing that poor little choir boy around the neighborhood. Zimmerman forced him to attack at gunpoint. Damn creepy ass cracker!

I'm not buying any more skittles, that's for sure.

I'm so glad he was found Not Guilty. If he would've been found guilty then it would've been the end of the road for self defense.
Also, I'm glad to see ALL of the dumbass Americans screaming about this "injustice" and then in the same breath say that Zimmerman better watch his back...If it comes down to it, I hope Zimmerman keeps a extra clip in his pocket.

My wife and I were talking about all of this last night. She hates when shit like this happens, because I get fired up about it.
People in our society today are just stupid. A person is smart. People are stupid. Our society is full of people who won trophies for participation as kids, even though they rode the pine all year. They think that if they don't get what they want, all they have to do is yell loud enough, and they will get it. The sad part is, the government accomodates this sort of behavior. The DOJ is proving that now. This whole thing has been fucked up from the word go. The police didn't want to file charges because there wasn't any probable cause. The chief ended up losing his job over it. The DA didn't want to prosecute it because there was no reason. There was no evidence that a crime had been committed. Well, the public is pissed, so a special prosecutor is going to prosecute the case on behalf of the state. It wasn't ran through a grand jury or anything.
There isn't a shred of evidence that says this incident went down any other way besides how Zimmerman said it went down. There isn't a shred of evidence that says he had a premeditated plan to kill Martin. If I was going to kill somebody, I certainly wouldn't call the police right before doing it to tell them to come to where I am. There isn't a shred of evidence that says Zimmerman broke any law. This case was prosecuted simply due to public outrage. All of these folks going on and on about "He got killed for buying a pack of Skittles...." are morons and do not understand the concept of law.
-
To paraphrase a quote I saw some where else that sums it up.
"A Hispanic man kills a black teen and is acquitted by an all-female jury, but in the end it's all the white man's fault."

Stevie Wonder is the latest celebrity to give his dumbass opinion on the verdict. He says that he will not perform in Florida, nor will he perform in any state that has a Stand Your Ground law similar to Florida's law. That law is there for a reason, and it is a pretty damn good law. It worked exactly as it should. Somebody was somewhere they shouldn't have been, decided to attack a guy, and start bashing his head into a sidewalk. Now, I will admit that Zimmerman was overzealous and probably has a touch of hero syndrome. He should have listened and waited for the police. However, that doesn't give Martin the right to attack the guy either. Zimmerman was well within his rights to be suspicious of the kid given recent happenings in the neighborhood. I can't even count the number of calls our department gets weekly with "this guy just doesn't belong in our neighborhood" type scenarios. And 99% of the time the caller is right; because they know who belongs in the neighborhood, and who doesn't. The police don't.
I guess what really pisses me off, is that if this was a black guy that shot a white kid, 0 fucks would be given. None of us would even know about it. If anybody did give a shit, and if every single detail were exactly the same, the same ignorant fucks would be raising hell about a jury finding the shooter guilty. It just aggravates me to no end to hear all of these people talk about how the verdict was so unjust and blatant racism when they don't even know any real details of the case. They don't know a damn thing past "A kid was walking home from the store and got shot", like it was a drive-by shooting, or like Zimmerman was hiding in the bushes, ambushed the kid, murdered him in cold blood, then fled.

Zimmerman verdict protesters attack TV reporter, storm Wal-Mart
By Robert J. Lopez, Andrew Blankstein and Ruben Vives
July 16, 2013, 5:00 a.m.
A peaceful protest of the George Zimmerman verdict in Los Angeles turned violent Monday after youths broke away from the main demonstration in Leimert Park, stomped on cars, broke windows, set fires and attacked several people.
KCBS-TV/KCAL-TV reporter Dave Bryan and his cameraman were among those who came under assault. One of the two journalists was taken to a hospital with a possible concussion, Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Andy Neiman told The Times.
Protesters also stormed a Wal-Mart in the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles, pushing their way through as guards scrambled to close security gates. A short while later, LAPD officers wearing helmets and carrying batons swarmed the store as others marched through the parking lot.
Young vandals who entered the Wal-Mart stormed in, threw merchandise on the ground and yelled, shoppers told a Times reporter. Some tried to break open the jewelry glass displays. The disturbance in the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles caused about 350 LAPD officers to swarm the area, leading to at least 13 arrests.
Elsewhere, one young man was seen throwing a metal wastebasket at the window of a darkened Jack-in-the-Box restaurant.
The violence Monday night was the third straight night when the LAPD was placed on a citywide tactical alert, requiring officers to work beyond their regular shifts.
Police estimated that about 150 people took part in the violence after the peaceful vigil in Leimert Park following Saturday's acquittal of Zimmerman, a 29-year-old neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida, on charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager.
The violence also included the apparent assaulting of bystanders and the hurling of hunks of concrete at officers on Vernon Avenue, the Los Angeles Police Department said. No injuries were reported.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti urged an end to the violence: "The trial that we saw in Florida has ignited passion," he said. "But we have to make sure it will not ignite the city."
At a late-night news conference, Garcetti blamed the violence on a "a small group [that] has taken advantage of this situation."
He said protesters have the right to voice their disagreement with the verdict, "but people also deserve to be safe on the streets and in their cars."
The mayor added: "The Martin family didn't ask anyone to break car windows."
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck put the public on notice that officers would be taking a more aggressive posture toward protesters beginning Tuesday. "This will not be allowed to continue," he said.
County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, who represents South Los Angeles on the county Board of Supervisors, condemned the violence, which he said, "does not advance the cause of Trayvon Martin or his memory."
Ridley-Thomas said the LAPD has made significant strides in improving community relations since the deadly 1992 riots in South Los Angeles and other parts of the city following the verdict in the trial of the LAPD officers charged with beating Rodney King.
The LAPD, he said, "has taken a posture of respecting the constitutional rights of those who choose" to peacefully protest.
Earlier Monday, community leaders who organized the peaceful vigil at Leimert Park broadcast a united, nonviolent message: “Let’s honor Trayvon Martin’s legacy by not breaking the law. Let’s keep it peaceful,†said Najee Ali, a local activist who spoke first on the group’s behalf.
Activists called not for an end to protests, but for an emphasis on demonstrations that are calm and controlled. Citizens might be angry following the not guilty verdict in the Zimmerman case, they said, but traffic must continue to flow and laws should not be broken.
News of the verdict reached Leimert Park -- the "heart and soul of black L.A.," according to Ali -- in the midst of a celebration of Nelson Mandela's 95th birthday Saturday, said community member Rudolph Porter.

Zimmerman is seeking asylum in Russia. Does he have a passport? If I was him, I would simply move to Latin America.

All of this mentality and it's origins comes from this
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_for_Radicals
And ironically it ties into black liberation theology, the black panthers, nation of Islam and Marxism. All one team
The RULES....
* RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.†Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots†must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)
* RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.†It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real†issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)
* RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.†Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
* RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.†If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
* RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.†There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
* RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.†They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun†activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)
* RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.†Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)
* RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.†Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
* RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.†Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)
* RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.†Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
* RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.†Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem. (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)
* RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.†Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

Baltimore police say they are investigating a witness account that a group of black youths beat a Hispanic man near Patterson Park Sunday while saying, "This is for Trayvon."
A witness posted the account on a community Facebook page, and police confirmed they are looking into whether the suspects' reaction to the verdict in the Florida trial of George Zimmerman played a part in the incident. A police report on the beating does not mention the alleged comments.
Sgt. Eric Kowalczyk, a police spokesman, declined to go into further detail.
In a post that drew nearly 50 comments on Facebook, real estate agent Christina Dudley said she was walking to her car just before 9 p.m. when she saw several young black males and two black females chasing a 37-year-old Hispanic man west on North Linwood Avenue past East Fairmont Avenue.
"One of the boys had a handgun out and it was pointed at the back of him," Dudley said in an interview.
They caught up to the man at the corner of Fairmount and N. Streeper Street, and the male with the gun beat the victim with what appeared to be his gun while others kicked and stomped him, Dudley said.
"They were just yelling and calling him names as they ran after him, but once they were hitting him and after that they started yelling, "This is for Trayvon, [expletive]," said Dudley, who heard the chant repeated multiple times.
Dudley and a woman walking her dog across the street told the group to stop and warned that they were calling 911. The group scattered before police arrived. Police have no arrests or named suspects.
Using a translator, police spoke to the victim, who knows some English, according to the police report. The victim told officers that he was standing in the intersection of Fairmont and N. Potomac Street when a group of five black males first approached him.
He described all of the males as between 16 and 18 and told police a 6-foot suspect with a black "stretchy" shirt and mohawk told him, "What's up, [expletive]." When the victim raised his phone to call 911, the suspect raised his shirt and flashed a silver handgun in his waistband.
The victim turned and ran before he was caught in the 2800 block of Fairmont and was beaten, police said. He sustained abrasions to his elbows and forearms but refused medical attention.
Police listed all of the suspects involved as black males. Three were "skinny" while one was described as overweight.
And another...

A man jogging down Highway 51 in Senatobia was abducted and brutally beaten by three black males Sunday night, according to Senatobia Police Chief Steve Holts.
According to Holts, the man, whose name has not been released, said that before he was abducted, he was asked by one of his attackers, a black male, if he knew who Trayvon Martin was.
Holts said the jogger was abducted on Highway 51 in front of Providence Place Apartments, and was dropped off on Highway 51 at Cut Off Road right outside the city limits of Coldwater.
According to Holts, the attackers were driving a white vehicle, possibly a Malibu or Impala.
Holts said that Senatobia police are investigating the assault, and he could not provide any more details at this time.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Tate County CrimeStoppers at 301-1111.

http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Houstonians-rally-against-Zimmerman-acquittal-4667181.php?cmpid=htx
"Our motto today is: We're fired up and we're not going to take it anymore," said community activist Quanell X.
The rally began about 7 p.m. at Byrd Funeral Home, 2517 Wheeler, near the campus of Texas Southern University. Organizers said that location was picked for a reason.
"This is where they wish to send young black men - to the funeral home," Quanell X said.
It was a dramatic theme that was repeated along the march route with protesters solemnly pushing a casket behind a hearse.
Bianca Fisher said she wasn't particularly surprised that the jury set Zimmerman free.
"The mission of the judicial system is to enslave black people," she said.
Benita Gordon brought her son, Devon, to the protest, which lasted about 90 minutes.
"We're walking tonight for Trayvon," she said. "We need fair rules all the way around."
Marchers shut down southbound traffic along Texas 288 at Southmore for about 10-15 minutes. No police were seen. The crowds allowed an ambulance to pass, but other motorists were forced to wait.
"It's civil disobedience. The people are angry and have a right to be angry," Quanell X said.
A similar rally took part in California on Monday night, the Associated Press reports. Demonstrators briefly blocked all lanes of a San Francisco Bay Area freeway before being cleared by authorities.
George Zimmerman's acquittal Saturday in Martin's death has sparked protests around the nation.

That's about as ugly a thing as you can imagine. I was running I59 between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham one day when this dude was walking along the edge feinting into traffic. It looked so weird I called 911. He jumped out in front of a car behind me. Was doing the suicide thing and trying to work the nerve up when I passed him.

Moron General says stand your ground laws don't make sense
http://blog.al.com/wire/2013/07/ag_holder_stand-your-ground_la.html#incart_river_default
"There has always been a legal defense for using deadly force if — and the 'if' is important — no safe retreat is available," Holder added Tuesday. "But we must examine laws that take this further by eliminating the common sense and age-old requirement that people who feel threatened have a duty to retreat, outside their home, if they can do so safely."
What defies common sense is this philosophy in general. If someone feels threatened it is their OBLIGATION to flee? Why? If everyone does that, the thugs, punks, miscreants and criminals are the winners. What prevents them from intimidating normal, reasonable, rational people into hiding in their homes?
You're a wet step from anarchy at that point.
Nope. We need to keep this rule and maybe expand it to more of a "take no crap" rule. Somebody wants to clown or intimidate you or your family? Chase them off by whatever means necessary.

HAAAAAAHA. I may only chuckle at the possibility of Kaos's "Fall of Rome" hyperbole, but this is it. This is fucking ridiculous. We are finished.
They not only are insisting on charging this guy for abso-fucking-lutely nothing except being the subject of an emotionally charged story. They are asking for tips on how they can nail him in any way shape or form.
What an obvious admission of "We don't have shit on him but we really REALLY want to find something."
Fuck Eric Holder. I'm seriously flabbergasted at the stupidity in our country, and honestly, I've never seriously felt this way, but honestly, I would really like to find a new one to live in. This place is fucked, and I have no desire to fight idiots in order to save it.

How the FUCK can he say all of that and not direct it solely to Trayvon Martin?
Goddamnit. It's right in front of their faces.
So it was okay for Trayvon to use deadly force, but not Zimmerman? I mean, did he even read the police report? Has he even considered the evidence?
Everything he is saying confirms that it was Trayvon Martin who was in the wrong based on his philosophy of "run if you feel threatened."
Trayvon didn't run. He acted like an idiot and sucker punched the guy. Then he got killed because of it, but it's a serious race issue in this country.

On Monday afternoon, the US Department of Justice appealed to civil rights groups and the general public across the country for “tips†on George Zimmerman in their pursuit of potential federal civil rights charges against the just-acquitted defendant in the Trayvon Martin killing. The DOJ actually went so far as to set up an e-mail address to allow such tips: Sanford.florida@usdoj.gov. The email address is slated to go operational by the end of the week.
Barbara Arnwine, president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law told the Orlando Sentinel that the DOJ had held a Monday conference call “calling on us to actively refer anyone who had any information†that would help build a case against Zimmerman. "They said they would very aggressively investigate this case,†Arnwine stated.
According to Arnwine, the call began at 3:30 p.m. with Tom Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the United States DOJ, and representatives of the FBI on the line. Several prosecutors joined the call, too.
Arnwine listed off other organizations represented on the call, including the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the ACLU, and several “human relations†groups.

Fuck this. I was so glad when Alabama passed the law similar to Florida's. It meant people didn't have to try and get away from some dickhole that broke into their house. It meant that people who were being assaulted didn't have to think about what the law was, or what they should do. It gave the average citizen the power to properly defend themselves and their property. The bad guy isn't playing fair. He is probably armed, and isn't where he is supposed to be. You shouldn't have to try to flee your own home. You shouldn't have to be afraid to walk around in your own neighborhood.

Oh, that's great. Really smart. Honestly, I think they set that up because they know what's going to happen. Every swinging dick that is pissed off about the verdict is going to e-mail some stupid fictitious tip. People will fabricate all kinds of "tips". That is how the DOJ will justify further harassment of Zimmerman. "Look, we had all of these leads. We had to check them out!" I can see it coming a mile away.
Sadly, he doesn't have much recourse either. He has to take it. I mean, I hate that a kid died. It does suck. There is nothing good about this. But they have effectively ruined Zimmerman's life as well. He's done. He will never hold meaningful employment again. His reputation is destroyed. Maybe he will do a book deal, but I wonder what a civil jury would do in the civil case that we all know Martin's parents are going to bring. Zimmerman could lose everything. Not even due to a case where he got off on a technicality, or something Casey Anthony-esqe. This was a case where there was not one single little bitty shred of evidence that he committed a crime. This was a case where the state was obviously overzealous in prosecuting the guy.

He is the biggest racist in Houston and that is saying A LOT. I asked a black friend of mine about him yesterday and she just cringed. Quannel charges $4000 to even show up in public to decry whatever racist action has been taken against you. Channel 11 called him on it once and he just snickered on camera. He showed up once when a guy shot two thugs robbing his neighbor's house. He stood out there calling for justice for the black man until someone figured out that they were dark skinned Hispanics. Then he turned around, got in his car and took off.
He is part of the problem this country.

Theyre furious with Snowden because he told us many of their dirty little secrets they were hiding from the public. Mad because they got caught. He's just the scapegoat for making them (and still) look like horses asses.
There is a bigger picture not seem here I think. And many are picking up on it. Even on mainstream shows like Bill O Reilly. There is a resentment in this country for the wrongs of whitey the last 150 years. And also the way the country was founded. Radicals have had this in their heads since the counter culture movement in the 60s. Many here dont agree with the Laws, the free market economy/capitalism, Constitution, etc because to them fundamentally it isn't the way things should work. They are socialists at heart. Big govt giveth and taketh away types. And they aim to transform the way we exist via social engineering and rewriting our framework. Many of these tactics through which it is done is found in many of Lenins guides and Alinskys "Rules for radicals". You are seeing a lot of it in play RIGHT NOW. I hate that it takes things like this case and the numerous other scandals for people to wake up and see it. Agitating the masses and have nots/"disenfranchised" with fiery rhetoric is the oldest trick in the book and always works on the ignorant (see Hitler in the 1930s). Even now though after all of this bullshit going back to Sept of last year, not enough people are waking up. We are doomed.
"well Joe, things tend to work better in this country when you spread the wealth". This should have been a red flag for every hard working tax paying American back in 2008. But it wasn't.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/07/17/doj-seeking-tips-in-zimmerman-probe/
More than a year after an FBI report indicated there was no evidence of racial bias in George Zimmerman's history, the Justice Department is trolling for email tips on the former neighborhood watch volunteer as it weighs a possible federal civil rights case against him.
Amid pressure from the NAACP and several Democratic lawmakers to pursue Zimmerman, the department has set up a public email address asking for any tips or information regarding the case. The move appears to mark an expansion of the probe, after Attorney General Eric Holder said in an address Tuesday to the NAACP that his department would "consider all available information" before deciding whether to move forward.
The department also held a conference call with civil rights leaders on Monday.
The conference call included DOJ officials, along with representatives from the FBI and federal prosecutors. They spoke to civil rights leaders from Sanford, Fla., as well as others from around the country.
The call was convened by Tom Perez, assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division.
A Justice official told Fox News that both the conference call and the email address asking for tips and information are fairly standard procedure when dealing with a high-profile investigation such as this one. The department has used such tip lines in the past, including in a probe last year of the Albuquerque, N.M., police department.
Some attorneys and analysts have cautioned that Holder would have a difficult time bringing a civil rights case against Zimmerman, particularly since the investigation so far is thought to have turned up no evidence or claims that Zimmerman exhibited racial bias. Martin was black.
But other lawmakers appear to have already made up their mind.
"We do know that Mr. Martin's civil rights have been violated," Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., said, as other members of the Congressional Black Caucus voiced similar views.
Holder has meanwhile gone beyond pursuing the investigation in the wake of the acquittal. On Tuesday, he also criticized "stand-your-ground" laws, which allow individuals to use lethal force when they believe their lives are in danger -- even if they have the option of fleeing.
The NRA criticized Holder for the comments, saying self-defense is a "fundamental human right."
Holder also, in his address to the NAACP, recounted his own past experiences with racial profiling.
Creating the e-mail address for "tips" still blows my mind. Yeah, they created one when they were probing the Albuquerque PD. But that was way different. They were investigating 20 officer involved shootings over a period of 20 months, and widespread corruption within the department. The city council actually voted to request a DOJ investigation before the mayor vetoed them. Totally different than investigating a private citizen who has been found not quilty of a crime, where there wasn't one shred of evidence against him. Add to that the fact that the FBI has already investigated, and have found no evidence that Zimmerman had ever in his life shown any kind of racism, and it proves they are just trying to appease the masses. The whole point is that there is no basis for an investigation in the first place at this point.
I'm really not getting the whole conference call with civil rights groups, etc. Are you fucking kidding me?
