Well that's kind of what happens when: the police investigating decline to make an arrest, the prosecutor declines to charge, the family hires a PI, a special prosecutor gets assigned to the case, and the prosecutor overreaches with the charges.

Zimmerman probably only won because he has/had money for defense, and it only went to court b/c Trayvon's family had money to hire a PI.

Seems like they could have gotten him on manslaughter if they had just gone for it from the beginning

But hey what do I know

Inb4 Yibby and/or Kelustu come explain why we are all wrong

[Pookette]

Nah it was self defense and it was clear, all the evidence corroborated w/ Zimmerman's story. Race wasn't an issue except to the media and that convinces sheeple that that is the case.

To be really honest it wouldn't surprise me if this kid was really a gang member. They always do what the fuck they want and when something happens, it's all racist and oh look at the poor little family, who raised a criminal.
I get that he was being followed, but that guy didn't take his gun out, he was following. Why would the kid honestly run to him and starting beating him up badly? Yeah, gang member.

There aren't really gangs in Miami. This isn't Chicago People don't rep sets/hoods/streets etc. So no, Trayvon wasn't a gang member. He supposedly did say he was a "gangsta" though.

Seriously, it's disgusting how hard people have tried to make this a race issue, and how our "justice system" has "failed" because they didn't get the verdict they wanted. Why it went to court is more of an issue than the verdict itself. That's why racism is never going to go away, because its convenient to keep the memory around.

Don't worry. One day we'll all be living on random planets in the universe with completely every race mixed together. People won't even remember what their country was called on Earth and just not give a shit about skin color at all anymore.

When everybody is brown from being mixed, people will single each other out for how light/dark of a brown skin color they have. Happens in black communities, happens in India, happens everywhere. People seem to love finding ways to display their bigotry.

[Forumz]

People will do anything to feel as if they're better than others.

[FTRouslan]

Zimmerman is going to be broke as fuck after the civil trial.

Tfw i lived in London and went to a pretty shitty school the white kids called me "nigger" and "blackie" and the pure black kids called me "half-breed" and "lighty" and told me to pick a side because i was half white lol.
