Venita, who didnt want to give her last name because of her position at an area college said she felt an instant sense of shock and disbelief.I think the verdict was unjust. I believe that the case law was not applied. Black letter law applies according to the situation, and the weight of the case was based on the fact that it was not a self-defense case.
In my opinion it was harassment, because the young man was not doing anything. He was being stalked and terrorized. [Zimmerman] has a history of violence, and I believe that because he was a young black man, that the system worked against him, and in favor of this white man. Its just that simple. The laws have not changed. We are still ni**ers, we are still slaves in North America and nothing has changed, Venita said.
How can a boy attending his business, going to his home, running from a man who is pursuing him be guilty and the killer not be? asked Chicago civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson in a live interview on NBC Chicago.
Jackson said, I think it was always a stretch, having, this is not a jury of his peers: six women, not one black, not one man. It never was a jury of his peers. Im really challenged, in some sense, thinking about this jury.
I think thats some bullsh*t, said 55-year-old Jimmy Byrd, a Chicago resident. I dont like it. I dont think it was right. I just dont understand the system.
Marcelles Montgomery, 19, says Trayvon Martin could have easily been him. When he heard the news of Zimmermans not guilty verdict, he was outraged.
In my opinion, he should have been charged for the very fact that he continued to follow Trayvon Martin, after he was told by police that he was not allowed to do so. It never would have happened if he werent there.
Montgomery is a youth minister on the South Side of Chicago. He said, To me, it reveals todays political system, so it does show us what we need to see: that were not as far advanced as we think we are.
Shenika Jackson, 20, agrees with Montgomery, adding, The jury should have been more sympathetic. If it was their child, how would they feel about it?
Richard Price, 53, an administrator at a Chicago college said, He created the situation and that didnt have to happen that way. In response to the jurys verdict, Price said, Sometimes people do things and they dont really analyze what theyre doing.
Continuing, Price said, It could happen right in Chicago. It could be anywhere. And sometimes these things set precedents for what happens in the future.
Tonya Brown, 48, strongly disagreed with the jurys verdict. It should have at least been manslaughter. She added, I hope that it will be retried. My justice system has disappointed me with this.
Late Saturday evening, members of the Occupy Chicago movement tweeted that they were organizing a protest at Chicagos downtown Daley Plaza. Jackson encouraged Chicago residents to stay nonviolent in their protest of Zimmermans verdict.
I hope those who are in pain would not act in a way that would discredit the legacy of Trayvon Martin, he said.
In Ci-cago they have their own injustice: the rule of lawless
How come we aren’t hearing anything from La Raza and the “white Hispanics”. Aren’t they going to stand up for one of their own?
“Reverend” Jackson is an ignorant slut. The defendant is the one who has the right to have a jury of his peers, not the dead person’s peers!
"We are still ni**ers, we are still slaves in North America and nothing has changed, Venita said.
It seems like the News shows are going out of their way to interview every idiot they can find.
Look at it this way they are consistent just as they were upset when the obviously guilty OJ Simpson was acquitted of cutting 2 people’s throats, including the mother of his children .....
Oh... Never mind.
we are still slaves.
That is rich, they know nothing about being a true slave to anyone.
ANd it was a self-defense case.
There are more “slaves” arond here driving better cars than mine, buying better groceries than I buy, living off of others’ government confiscated taxpayer welfare money, getting PAID to have children, finding ways to come up with daycare scams (where I am) to bilk more money out of the taxpayers, they have protected class status and that’s the only reason this closed investigation got reopened and tried, they benefit from affirmative action programs across the country to let less qualified blacks get jobs more qualified people could fill and do better,
and THEY are the slaves.
Living in a dreamworld, homey. Living in a dream world.
You cannot legally punch someone in the nose and bang their head on the concrete because they harass you. And they just might shoot you if you do.
Yeah that’s some Bullsh*t, ya’ll noes thats only Blacks peoples is okays ta kills udder Blacks peoples!
AND FOR THE LAST TIME GEORGE ZIMMERMAN IS HISPANIC, NOT WHITE.
He is 1/4 black, 1/2 hispanic, and 1/4 caucasian.
Obama is (if we believe him) 1/2 WHITE. Obama is MORE WHITE than GEORGE ZIMMERMAN.
La Raza is a Mexican racist organization. They hate all Latinos that come from Central or South America. GZ’s family is from Peru. As far as La Raza is concerned, Peruvians are Anglos.
I sure hope her "position" isn't as a teacher because she's as dumb as a rock. She is living evidence of Reagan's statement that "it's not that liberals don't know anything; it's that so much of what they know is wrong."
Hey Al , why dont you clean up NYC first !!? (Gun Free Zone)
Hey Je$$ie Jacka$$, why dont you clean Chicago first !!? (Gun Free Zone)
Two race baiter$ in One $tate , whoda thunk ??
This must be why they are so popular with Barry and the ‘RATS.
Hey dummies in Chicago, all is well, you can go back to killing each other now..no one is noticing anyway
Why do they care more about Trayvon Martin than they do about all the Black kids killed in Chicago every week!
Eric Holder and the feds will come after Zimmerman on federal civil rights violation charges.
Sympathy is found in the dictionary between shiite and syphilis.
They got their OJ verdict, we got our GZ verdict. How about we call it even before things get really ugly and onesided...
Venita will surely blend in with all the other Venitas who work at area colleges.
Hell, give her a Rhodes Scholarship just for this brilliant plan.
They shot or killed 74 in Chicago over the July 4th week end.
I’m betting they will exceed that in the next few days.
