"We will pursue civil rights charges with the Department of Justice, we will continue to fight for the removal of Stand Your Ground laws in every state, and we will not rest until racial profiling in all its forms is outlawed," Jealous said.

Stand your ground was not invoked in this trial. And if you want racial profiling ending, work to try and halt so many black males from acting like thugs and criminals - you know, the way Trayvon was acting in the months leading up to his death.

(from the article):"We are outraged and heartbroken over today's verdict," NAACP President Benjamin Jealous said in a statement.
"We will pursue civil rights charges with the Department of Justice, we will continue to fight for the removal of Stand Your Ground laws in every state, and we will not rest until racial profiling in all its forms is outlawed," Jealous said. "

This needs repeating :

Stand Your Ground was not invoked in this trial !!

SELF DEFENSE was the arguement of the trial !!

I have no idea what trial the NAACP was watching , but the Zimmerman trial obviously wasn't it !
That having been said, this "SHOW TRIAL and the allegations have run their course for a year and a half.
Why call it a "SHOW TRIAL" ?
Because it was politicized , commercialized not only by politicians,and race baiters,but especially by the media !
The media jumped on this case 2-3 weeks AFTER the assault.
The media altered audio tapes to demonstrate non-existant racial profiling, when they KNEW that it didn't exist !
The media selectively showed Trayvon's picture at age 13 yrs old, a purposely deceptive tactic.
The media selectively showed George's photo in black and white, purposely to not see broken nose, or blood on both temples , or the back of the head.
The media then ran with the propaganda , especially when the president said : "If I had a son ,..."
Then they worked themselves into a frenzy, already finding Zimmerman guilty BEFORE trial.
The media poisioned the community against Zimmerman for OVER A YEAR with their propaganda ; each network tried to out-do each other with the sensationalization .

If anyone is selectively running "racial profiling " , .. it is the NAACP !!
It's all about energizing the potential voter base !
'Stand Your Ground' was never an issue in this trial !
This trial was all about 'SELF-DEFENSE' from a 'sucker-punch' ,a broken nose ,banging someone's head on concrete , and MMA "Ground-and-Pound", choking on blood , vs. the use of a firearm .
