Zimmerman verdict: Not Guilty.

[smax]

How many other bad decisions were made and how many of them were made by Trayvon? How ever many bad decisions you can think of that were made by Trayvon; There's no way those were good ideas! Jeez, what the fuck was that shithead thinking?!?!

The point is simply that Zimmerman provoked this incident by pursuing a matter that he neither had the authority nor qualifications to pursue.

That type of conduct, by mere citizens, should be harshly discouraged by our legal system.

Basically, in Florida, you have some basic right to be a vigilante. That's what it all boils down to.

Yeah, right? We pay cops to do things like that.

This guy was just a volunteer. He should have become an official cop. Instead of a trial we would have given him a medal for heroism.

Or, perhaps Trayvon would have reacted differently to being questioned by an official police authority, and a confrontation would not have ensued, and a man would not have died.

Instead, Trayvon was questioned by someone with no more police authority than he himself, and probably wasn't all that happy about it.

I know I don't want any of my neighbors questioning me. How about you?
