You are still obsessing over this case? Even though it is a done deal... OK, you or someone seems to want to know my view..I am most likely a leaner in your terms and not a liberal but what the hay, anything makes you feel better..Background...I live in Minnesota, so one more killing in Florida did not generate a great deal of excitement..Down in the Twin Cities they may have had a demonstration, we are Minnesota nice after all..But up in my neck of the woods, in the several months this even consumed, I did not hear it come up in any conversation anywhere I went...So what were my expectations? Zimmer was guilty of something..Just what I was not sure of..If he had not been in the development nothing would have happened..most of the time, when someone is killed and charges are pushed that is the outcome..Not knowing how Florida defines 2nd degree murder, I looked at Minnesota interpretation..intent to kill but no malice of forethought..(did not plan the killing)..based on what I saw on the news, did not feel he was guilty of that offense...Then at the last moment, (I think) the possibility of manslaughter was added and I expected that to be the verdict..The 6 person jury, who I`m sure saw and heard more information than I did, found him not guilty...So that was the end of this particular event..If you are bothered about his recent encounters, I have not given it much thought..Often, when a person is accused of a crime, then found not guilty, it stays with him for all his life..That is not fair and should not happen but it seems to be part of Zimmermans problems..I can not express an opinion of his traffic tickets and what ever else has come up, It was more than a single event..So his life appears to be in shambles and that is a shame...That is about all I got on this, it is all past and a concern only for him and those he involves..

OK, I'll forgive you. All of the information you got was the propaganda from the administration's plan to start a race riot! Down here we bore the brunt of it! A lot of people were involved as those were our communities and those were our schools! Our kids knew all about it from their cell phones! They don't even read papers and watch the news anymore! And they are right: the media lies! They are smarter than the government thinks! But we kept hearing the same lies again, and even from on here! Like the 2000 election, we still hear the same lies, again! I sometimes wonder what the rest of America really thinks and what crap they are being fed?
