I watched MSNBC and heard when the announcement was made that the verdict was reached. About 15 minutes after, when everyone had shuffled into court, the Judge brought the Jury in and the decision was read:
“We the jury find George Zimmerman not guilty.”
*pause*
George Zimmerman smiled and shook the hands of his lawyers. His family hugged each other and shed tears of joy. Told that his monitoring bracelet would be removed, Zimmerman knew that the jury, the law justified the killing.
No one thought of the life that was lost. No one thought that a 17 year old was just walking home from the store when he was gunned down like an animal. No one remembered Trayvon Martin… except his grieving parents.
Just another day in the life of black America, where black males are gunned down every day and no one seems to care. Life I guess, goes on…

Hopefully the Martin's will go forward and file a civil lawsuit against Zimmerman. Because he was aquitted in this Federal case, he could absolutely be subpoenaed amd made to testify. He will certainly hang himself then. The case should emphasis his racial profiling, stalking and murdering an unarmed teenager. Voluntary Manslaughter.
one of the best tweets I've seen so far. This verdict just made it a crime to 'Walk While Black'
This is just horrible. I am not surprised though.
