You know...everyone arguing in favor of Trayvon is really coming up short. Are you guys aware of what cognitive dissonance is? It's when, in the face of evidence mounting against you, you continue to stick to your original stance without accepting the new information. This is also called dogma and it's something I think most people here rail against the most when it comes to modern religion.
Yet there's so very many people to are showing it.
Shame.
I mean, seriously, Celt. "You called her a liar!" Yeah. She WAS a liar. She lied under oath.
Here's a suggestion to everyone; try actually learning about the trial and doing so without your preconceptions. Do it with an open mind that Trayvon might have or might have not deserved what happened to him. Do it with an open mind that Zimmerman may or may not have been innocent. Do so with a completely blank mind, read through the evidence and what happened, reading through the transcripts, compare them with the location of the incident, do all of this stuff, and quit being so fucking DOGMATIC. You guys are starting to sound a little too damn close to what religious fundamentalists sound like and the sheer amount of ignorance being displayed? It's starting to actually kinda piss me off because it's coming from individuals I otherwise considered to be open-minded and reasonable and now suddenly you guys are starting to shit all over that.
And what, please tell, would you have rather seen Zimmerman tried for? I keep hearing people make vague allusions to "different charges," and yet nobody ever really suggests one.
Strawman fallacy. Nobody here is stating that Zimmerman is "eternally [truthful]." And then you went on to state that calling a liar a liar is hypocritical.
Oh jesus fuck. Sorry. I'll step back and give you room to keep dancing around in an emotionally-charged fit of non-logic. ._.

This matter was settled in a court of law and the man was found not guilty, it's over as far as the laws concerned and the constitution supports this. I do not believe the verdict was correct because, I do not believe the charge was correct, but none of this matters either, the law by which we live prevailed and this is what we must live with, if we want to survive as a nation. I've seen some here who put down the Biblical law of an eye for an eye, but now that it suits them it's okay, double standards do not benefit a nation. IMO if the state had brought the proper charge we would have seen a different out come, but as I said none of it matters now the justice system has spoken. It's good to debate an issue like this but getting angry with each other accomplishes nothing other than greater division, don't you think that's going in the wrong direction.
