Surprising this hasn't been posted yet. So here goes.
Zimmerman has been found not guilty for man slaughter, which is not at all surprising really, considering the evidence the prosecutor lacked. Anyone else not surprised?

Nope, thats how the law is. Unless you can prove with unreasonable doubt that someone is guilty, then they're lawfully innocent.

No one has posted about it because no one but the US cares. Its just a load of racist BS anyway. I'm thankful that its over so we no longer have to hear about it every week. We probably still will for a while, but at least its finally almost over.

Basically a civilian watch "cop" (zimmerman) shot and killed a black kid in self defense. People are pissed because they're saying "If zimmerman was black he would be convicted"... Its just a load of racism that does nothing but prove the US has gone nearly nowhere in terms of racial equality since the Ducking civil war.

My opinion is that he should've gotten charged at least with manslaughter. As a civilian cop you're not supposed to make confrontations. Zimmerman got out of his car after he noticed the "suspicious" teen. As a civilian cop you're supposed to call 911 immediately and request for assistance. You only carry a gun for self defense and do nothing on your own. You're just a watch.

However, the evidence wasn't there, which is acceptable. The issue is people aren't accepting the lack of evidence and are getting pissed off, throwing racial comments everywhere and blaming it all on racism when newsflash; zimmerman isn't even white. This aftermath is black vs. white nonsense.

Stay out of the mess for your own good, believe me. .-.

No poop... Everyone spams racism craps on my damn news feed and making me argue with everyone I see to prove them wrong. Good riddance.... Even worse, I had to argue with white people about racism.... Really? What's wrong with them nowadays?

You didn't research...................... The picture shown Zimmerman had broken nose and back of the head bleeding from Martin's attack.

The kid allegedly "waited for zimmerman at his car to attack him". He was then pushed on to the ground facing up with the kid beating him. Zimmerman got his gun and shot the kid out of self defense.

so the story goes.

I can completely agree with this. All the American friends I have on Facebook have been talking about it for these past weeks, but the rest of the world isn't too bothered about it. Neither am I, but from my point of view, I see it in a racist way too.
