The root issue of the Zimmerman case is the peoples ability to protect not only their community, but also themselves.
Community had a rash of crime.
Community organizes watch program.
Community watch member sees suspicious person walking streets at night.
Suspicious person attacks community watch member.
Community watch member shoots and kills suspicious person in self-defense.
There is no racism in what happened.
By protesting the verdict, people are saying we should not have the right to protect our community, nor should we have the right to protect ourselves.
In other words, protestors are saying we should stay in our homes why crime runs rampant on our streets.
Martin and Zimmerman were at the wrong place and at the wrong time. But just because Zimmerman was following Martin, that did not give Martin the right to attack Zimmerman.
There is no reason to protest this verdict. To protest the verdict is to protest our ability to be safe and secure.
Yeah no racism other than Martin being profiled and suspected of doing no good because he was black. The justification being that all previous break ins were done by black people and we all know that if multiple black people commit a crime then all black people commit crimes.
Other than that though there was no racism.
Lol and yeah Martin was at the wrong place at the wrong time...walking to his
home at 7pm. The stupid nig*** should have been inside before the sun went down!
I especially liked how the defense painted Martin as a scary black man and brought in a vulnerable little white women to justify Zimmerman's racial profiling.
But yeah, no racism was involved./s
Look, there can be racism committed by a non racist people, racism still exists its just not the blatant kind that existed decades ago.
As for the verdict...it was the correct verdict and the only verdict the jury could have given because the prosecution did a horrible job in my opinion. Their case was inconsistent and defensive.
