GEORGE ZIMMERMAN IS NOT GUILTY

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN FOUND NOT GUILTY

George Zimmerman found not guilty

Here are my own feelings regarding this highly publicized trial, which I followed the trial closely...each day.

The jury clearly looked at the evidence, which was overwhelming for the defense and Zimmerman.

Zimmerman's nose was broken and his face was bruised and bloodied after the confrontation. He had cuts and bruises on the back of his head. He had grass stains on the back of his shirt and pants. Treyvon had no injuries from the fight, except the gunshot wound. There were scrapes on his knuckles. And he had grass stains on his knees. All of this was supported by the forensic evidence and was not challenged.

It is clear who was delivering a beating, and who was receiving it. An eye witness indicated Treyvon was on top of Zimmerman and hitting him. Clearly, the one who was screaming histerically, and terrified for help, was the one being beaten, not the one on top doing the beating.

In almost all cases, the prosecution witnesses, under cross examination, gave testimony that ended up supporting Zimmerman's story.

It is tragic that things happened like they did. But neither person had broken any laws, or committed any crime, and could have walked away from this up until the time one of them decided to sucker punch the other in the face, break his nose and knock him down. Even then Treyvon could have walked away and had very little long term personal consequence. But when he began beating Zimmerman on the ground as he did, he took a path that led to his death. Zimmerman finally shot, and the forensic evidence showed that Treyvon was shot at close range, with the bullet traveling upward through his body (and his heart) while Zimmerman was on the ground.

There simply was not evidence of any hate crimes. There was simply no evidence of murder or negligence. The jury decided that Zimmerman was defending himself.

We know now that Zimmerman, an Hispanic male, mentored young black kids in his spare time. No racist there at all.

Howerver, the entire nation was treated to a biased, planned effort to make Zimmerman look like a racist who tracked down and killed a very young, happy black youth. Here are what America was regularly treated to, for months on end, characterizing the two:

Now, that is a picture that was specifically meant to support the false narrative that was estabished. See how menacing and bad Zimmerman looks? See how angelic Treyvon looks?

If they had a mind, they could have used other photos to make the exact opposite appear true. For example, here's one making Zimmerman look like an angel and Treyvon look like a demon.

See how that works. As it was, here's how they both actually looked near the time of the incident. Treyvon was a large kid. An athlete who was in good shape and about the size in relation to Zimmerman that this picture shows:

It is tragic that a 17 year old young man was killed. But, as you can see, he was not a "little" kid. He was 6' 2" tall, 170 lbs, and was quite muscular and fit as a high school football player. Zimmerman was 5'9", also weighed around 170 lbs, but was not in good shape. And Treyvon was not angelic...far from it. His facebook page and tweets make that clear enough, as does his own record...all of which the jury could not hear or see...and in the end, did not need to.

Would Zimmerman have died that night? We will never know. But he clearly thought he was in great danger, and he was definitely being beat up. So he finally pulled his gun and shot in self defense.

I pray the country can move on from this. This case was trumped up by politicians, the Media, and those seeking a racial cause. The local police had already pretty much determined what this jury found and that is why Zimmerman was released after being taken to the police station that night. These types of things happen fairly often in this nation of 350 million.

For example, shortly before this event, a black man, who was being stalked by 4-5 white thugs, was at home one night when these thugs came to his house and began calling him names, and throwing rocks at his home from his drive way. He was safe in his home. It was secure and he was armed. He did not have to go out. But they were on his property and he decided to go out and confront them. There was an argument. One of the young men, about 19 years old, charged the man yelling that he was going to hurt him. The man shot...and the 19 year old died.

That man was not tried. He was not arrested for murder or manslaughter. Everyone knew these kids were on his property and up to no good. He could have stayed inside, but he decided to confront the evil on his property and when attacked, he defended himself. I have no problem with it...and believe more Americans should send such messages to criminals when they are threatened. 911 takes on average 9 minutes for anyone to get there. Usually by that time, it is over.

That above case happened in Florida by the way...and there was no outcry, no demands to punish that man for killing the much younger man. It was clearly self defense...as was this case with Zimmerman.

The unvarnished truth is that Travon Martin got exactly what he deserved. He committed a sneak, unprovoked, atrocious assault which was interdicted only by the use of deadly force. If he had not been shot he might well have killed George Zimmerman. One more blow to the head, one more bash of the head against concrete, one more attempted suffocation might well have been the murder of George Zimmerman. If Travon Martin had succeeded in getting possession of Zimmerman's gun, it is very likely he would have used it because he had already threatened Zimmerman's life before he commenced to beat Zimmerman within an inch of its life.

There is no plausible evidence contrary to these conclusions.

“If Travon Martin had succeeded in getting possession of Zimmerman’s gun, it is very likely he would have used it because he had already threatened Zimmerman’s life before he commenced to beat Zimmerman within an inch of its life.”

This is key to the whole episode. No one addresses the matter of what would have happened if Trayvon had succeeded in getting his hands on the gun! Just how long do you think it would have taken Trayvon to take the gun from Zimmerman’s hand if Zimmerman had not fired it?

Jeff:

Aside from the sweetness of the verdict on an obviously not guilty Zimmerman, the best result of the verdict is the volcano of exploding-headed, white-hating, vicious, f-word spewing, 70 IQ, illiterate, vomiting of nastiness on DumpsterUnderground.com. It could have been improved only if the verdict had been issued in cursive.

What would have happened to Zimmerman if he had been knocked unconscious by Trayvon Martin with just a few more punches to his nose or from having his head bashed in a few more times? And that is what was sure to have happened if he hadn’t shot Trayvon. All the corrupt media make it sound like George didn’t incur much in the way of wounds. They speak as if the punching and bashing of George’s head would have somehow been suspended in time from before the point that George shot him. But it wouldn’t have stopped.

The pummeling would have continued until George would have passed out as he wasn’t strong enough to stop a physically fit 17 year old who was 6’2”. At which point it would have been George that was shot with his own gun. It was a him or me situation, and George made sure it wasn’t him, while he was still conscious.

Zimmerman had a legitimate reason to be curious about Martin. Martin took offense to the scrutiny because Martin was a racist punk. His offense took the form it usually does with racist punks: he attacked the so-called offender. In the process, the "offender" shot him.

If -- and it's a big "if" -- Zimmerman was a racist, it did not take the form of him attacking Martin. Martin's racism was blatant, and it -- along with an inflated sense of his own status -- got him killed.

Agreed 100%. As Zimmerman said, towards the end, it was THE gun, not his gun. Whoever controlled it was going to live, the other was going to die.

Zimmerman did exactly what he had to do to live. My only problem is that I know I would have shot the thug a lot sooner.

Another thing is this. As it turns out, Obama was right. Treyvon Martin is the son he would have had. Angry, raised to hate America and particularly "crackers," whom he felt owed him something and from whom he was going to take what he wanted to make them pay. Criminally minded....just like Obama.

No, IMHO, at least printed like this, NOT GUILTY, those kind of angry race baiters, progressives, leftists, those who hate American can read it. And we wanted them to be able to read it and understand it.

That's my take too and it's obviously accurate given the jury's final decision. That's not good enough for the Democrats though. This about mob rule now and Eric Holder, Barack Obama, and Harry Reid are happy to lead the lynch mob to Zimmerman's front door. Democrats never really change.

If he and/or his lawyer are smart, they are monitoring the talking heads and noting the exact time (and who) says “he did it, I don’t care what the verdict is.”

Then start file a separate slander case for each utterance.

Easier for written articles, but they should make sure they catch authored (RL named) blogs, which don’t go through editors.

I would put Angela Corey at the top of the list for her relentless over-the-top behavior and statements during the press conference after the verdict. Did you catch her saying that lots of people voluntarily get beaten up no worse than George Zimmerman and went on playing their game or whatever. I couldn’t believe my ears. My God- people of Jacksonville/Duval, please send this woman packing. She would make a great replacement for Janet Napolitano when the dust settles.

I don’t believe at all, that Trayvon Martin *deserved it.*

If anything, he was badly, grossly, terribly *MIS-LED* by the *pompous* race hustlers strewn across the leftist, socialist, “Democrat Party” machinery -— all of whom agitate for Trayvon Martin and so many young black men, to commit crimes and increase levels of fear, so that the same *pimps* can scream in the public eye, that “something should be done about it!”

When the people who need to do something, are the parents and adults in every community that is threatened by BOTH the *pimps* and the *pimps’ -raised hoods.* The parents and adults all need to know, that they have the right and the authority as sovereign American citizens, to stand up *AGAINST* the fear-mongering that is the constant product of the *pimps.*

The adults *need to watch their neighborhoods* AND alert the police and politicians, BUT if the police and politicians fail to respond, then the adults must make clear to the *pimps* and the *hoods* that the adults have the authority to detain and drag to city hall, the *pimps* and *hoods* who are the real terrorists.

The real terrorists - the people who keep especially inner-city mothers and fathers living in fear.

The real terrorists - they tell your kids that there is no hope, and that, the system is against you, young child; AND WORSE: the only way for you to find love and be accepted, is within THE HOOD.

Every decent adult and parent *KNOWS* who the real terrorists are, and what the real terrorists are doing, and what the real terrorists continue to try to do.

There *are* *MANY* good, decent black American parents ... who live in fear, because every which way they turn to for help, they find: THE PIMPS and the leftist [now-] Palace Media [formerly ‘liberal media’] belly-aching about alleged injustice.

When these good people need to find, George Zimmerman, a man who, despite his own fears, chose to stand up and watch over his neighbors. Like you, he took an enormous risk to work for the safety of his neighbors.

You might have been less cautious. You might have been more cautious. A day might come, when you *are* George Zimmerman.

There are the risks.

If you avoid these risks, you get the *pimps’* terror that is destroying Chicago and has destroyed Detroit.

Over all, is the incorrect notion that the leftists’ for police state security keep purveying upon the American public, that “you cannot take the law into your own hands.”

That is ridiculous, because in the U.S.A., the law *is* in your hands, though you *have a duty* to lawfully act with such authority that we each have as American citizens.

George Zimmerman was a lot more cautious than a police officer would have been, as he should be; you want at all times *that you can manage it, in your view,* to gather information and pass it along to the police.

Yet the day may come, when events do not play as you may have imagined them. You may think, you are prepared, and you can get away or back away from a situation, but then suddenly, you find that you cannot - there is no retreat.

In a nutshell, there is the problem for the people who live in fear -— they are essentially victims of the *pimps* who constantly purvey that the direction of retreat, is TOWARD THE *PIMPS!*

*THAT IS ‘THE SYSTEM’!* If there ever was a system that needs to be broken up.

What George Zimmerman did, was to defy ‘THE SYSTEM’ of *PIMPS.*

What Trayvon Martin did, was to be used by ‘THE SYSTEM’ of *PIMPS* so that, they can do everything that we have witnessed: their lust for power that they gain by threatening individual, family, home, neighborhood, and public safety.

The *pimps* CANNOT make you safe.

Their many “social plans” CANNOT make you safe.

Their many appearances in the Palace Media CANNOT make you safe.

Their destruction of the public education system HAS NOT made you safe.

Their destruction of Detroit and Chicago HAS NOT made you safe.

Within their spheres of control in the cities where crime is so great a problem, even massive police presence HAS NOT made you safe!

ONLY YOU, as responsible and decent adult, have the power to make your home and neighborhood safe.

THAT is the LAST THING that the *PIMPS* wanted Trayvon Martin to ever hear -— that he should have been an ally of George Zimmermans everywhere.

As you have been, and so many citizens have been, without which support, the police could not possibly do their job, which IS OUR JOB TOO, to defend and protect.

Unlike other countrys, in the U.S.A., the police officer IS ONE OF US, whom we pay to specialize in doing the law enforcement work that we would otherwise have to ... but it is simply more economical for us, as we must raise food and provide clothing and shelter, to employ a few of our neighbors as police officers.

In the U.S.A., the police dept. is *NOT* a branch of government. Instead, the police dept. is an office within the common law. A police “officer” is a person whom we authorize to act as a member of that office.

The police officer DOES WHAT YOU WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE TO DO.

When the police officer is around, your duties do not end, your authority does not end, you responsibilities as an adult do not end; indeed, in some communities, there are no police officers with badges at all ... there is simply you and your responsible neighbors.

ALL OF WHICH, the *pimps* NEVER want people to hear about, know about, and accept such adult-hood.

This is *all* as basic and tied into the foundations of the common law, going back to the common laws of tribes everywhere! Does not matter what the race or name of the tribes are/were.

Nobody deserves to be on the receiving end of the *pimps’* hatred of good, hatred of life, hatred of truth.

Justice is a process not an outcome. The state hijacked the judicial process and attempted to replace it with something almost unrecognizable. Acquittal was the appropriate outcome and was nevertheless achieved.

The real problem is we are dealing with a group who are most concerned about achieving their desired outcomes in virtually all aspects of their lives irrespective of the inputs and will utilize all avenues whether illegal, unethical or immoral to do so.

Thank you so much for your comments on this thread you started!

Those of us who trust the truth eventually comes out are thankful it did and that the jury acted justly on the facts presented to them.

But the truth will continue to be discarded by those who wish to further they hatred agendas. A perfect example of this is so very evident at the following link.

God Bless George Zimmerman's brother Robert for his courage, honesty and determination in defense of George and the truth!
