Zimmerman seems to be a terrible person, and he shouldn't have been following Martin, but he broke no laws in doing so and was rightly found not guilty because it seems to have been a justifiable killing in self defense.
He broke no laws? He murdered an innocent, unarmed teen who was doing nothing to threaten him. And he did it in cold blood and in a premeditated fashion.
Just because the state of Florida has declared itself without law doesn't mean Zimmerman's not a law breaker.

And that’s just be being extremely charitable towards him.
And if Zimmerman is really that paranoid, then there's no way he should ever be left out of a secure mental institution, except for to be buried.

If the other guy who he killed was attacking him first I hope he gets away with all this.
Go fuck yourself and stop spreading far right slander.
Trayvon was doing nothing to threaten him, other than bashing his skull. This is an atheist forum, and you are making claims with no evidence. A pre-meditated killing? The evidence shows no such thing. Did Zimmerman plan on getting his bead bashed and bloodied so he'd have an excuse to shoot? You are coming at this purely with emotion and you have no evidence to back up your claims. You do not understand the meaning of murder. Put the emotion aside and look at the evidence we have before us.
