I guess this verdict is more important than OJ's because in his case the victims were white.

Do I get a prize?

[Darren McCarty]

Seventy-three percent of those who killed a black person faced no penalty compared to 59% of those who killed a white, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

And how many of those who killed a black person were black people?

[cicero2k]

Uh, OJ gets away with murder.

Zimmerman gets away with keeping himself alive.

So in this polarized world, the latter is more important. ? !

[DonaldC]

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe racism of any kind is a good thing, but black america needs to consider that given their decline since 65, maybe the days of Jim Crow were not all that bad.

[Toadman]

But there has been a dramatic increase in the number of black males killed by whites under "stand your ground" laws.

An increase since when?

Citing other news sources and remaining ambiguous is poor form.

Perhaps males (including blacks) should not assault or rob anyone (including whites), then that pesky "self defense" stuff wouldn't be a problem.

The OJ trial and GZ trial do have one thing in common. In both cases, the crimes had nothing to do with race, but the trials, the aftermath and the analysis were entirely about race.

[nascarnation]

My memory fails me....did white people riot when the OJ verdict was announced?

[Mr. K]

Imagine if GZ did not have a gun- how would this have ended?

Trayvon must have heard a neighbor and knew the cops were on the way- a few more punches and maybe a kick in the face or two and GZ would probably have ended up in the hospital OR WORSE

How was TRAYVON planning on ending this?

[Old Sarge]

Who needs OJ?

We have “Trayvon Martin Luther King” and his bloody hoodie now!

[griswold3]

It’s becoming more clear each day that we can NEVER have a rational, reasonable discussion about race. There are Two Americas and never the tween shall meet. It is to the benefit of those who grind the grievance axe both in power and in monetary increases.
‘It’s a black thang. You’ll never understand.’
Just Move ON.

Fantasy author !

[Teacher317]

The author, like most Liberals, is projecting the opposite of the truth to advance Liberal Ideology. In truth, the author supports the idea behind Jim Crow, which was passed by Democrats in the early 20th Century to disarm blacks so that they could not fight back against the thuggish behavior of those who violently focused on race. Todays Liberals, like the author, want Zimmerman punished for daring to defend himself against the violent behavior of a thug whose culture is obsessed with race. Disarming law-abiding citizens so that violent thugs of this race-obsessed culture need not fear when they commit their heinous acts is EXACTLY the same thinking behind the passage of Jim Crow laws... hence modern Liberal authors must say that anyone opposing it must support Jim Crow.

Projection and the Race Card are the only tools in the Liberals Playbook these days. This is why the Zimmerman Verdict is so huge for them, and the 10,543 blacks killed by blacks in the 503 days between the shooting and the verdict need not get any attention whatsoever.

Wow. These folks are starting to make like “Jim Crow”, “racism” and they are lowering my intolerance for the KKK.

Somebody need to tell these fools that their race card is overdrawn and they need to start paying down on the principle before they try using it any more.

[R_Kangel]

... Those that have the bully pulpits out there to make a difference need to get off their collective asses to help diffuse the growing unrest that is being encouraged and inflamed by the administrations propaganda machine.

.... The problem with all of this race bating is that the Race Industry has been hiding and covering up any positive information attesting to the real character of Mr. George Zimmerman as opposed by the media fabricated one. The more information that gets out there that makes it to the vacant brains of the so called Low Information useless idiot public out there, the better chance that this incident will be subdued .... because ... let's face it ...... they picked the wrong guy to brand a Rabid Racist!!!

There absolutely needs to be a concerted effort to get the information out to the public even if it means spending a few advertising dollars to do so. There needs to be articles and perhaps viral videos and news specials made that tell the actual truth about Zimmerman!!!

..... For instance, unlike the vapid empty headed braindeads out there ... we all know that Zimmerman mentored under privileged black youth and was involved in the community ..... But, Did you all know .... that the evil George Zimmerman forced the investigation, arrest and discipline of a police Lieutenant's son who beat up a black youth ....... How much does America really know about George Zimmerman?

SYG, Castle Doctrine and other self defense laws have roots in the push back against Jim Crow laws. Yet today's knee-grows line up to help the Progressives destroy all of the progress made to secure black families.

Didn’t see a whole lot of statistics .... just a Progressive rant alluding to facts!

[jocon307]

SO what is he saying? One black life = two white lives? Hey, that guy killed by OJ was Jewish, wasn’t he? Maybe his life doesn’t count for anything.
