Please don't follow blindly the racial antagonists. Zimmerman case.

The Zimmerman case was not racially motivated crime, and according to the jury, not a crime at all.

So a jury that was picked by both the prosecution and the defense made their decision based on all of the evidence brought forth to them.  They decided not guilty for 2nd degree murder, but also not guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter.    After 16 hours of deliberation, not 2, not 4, 16 hours.  This was not taken lightly by any of the jurors.


What you need to keep in mind is that the crime was not Martin being followed, the alleged crime happened while an attack was going on.  In this case a man had to tragically take a life in defense of his own.  This so say the jury of the case.

This apparently is not good enough for people.  The normal pot stirrers are up in arms still trying to make this a racial case.  The prosecution themselves said that they did not believe the incident was racially motivated.  Zimmerman is Latino and white.  But for the sake of people trying to make this a racial deal, they are only focusing on the small white part of Zimmerman.  If that is how we can see things, then we have a white President.

The president of this country made the most egregious error, when he tried to make Zimmerman look guilty before he had a trial with his inflammatory statement about "if I had a son he would look like Martin".  That was the dumbest most irresponsible thing he could have ever said.  It's not the POTUS business to say anything about a case of that nature.  What bothers me is the in his home state of Illinois there are multiple murders a week and he says nothing about it.  Why?  Because the murders are made by the same ethnicity that is why.  Chicago to date has had over 200 murders in 2013, adults and children.  Where is the outrage for this?  Where is Obama on tv saying that all of these dead children in Detroit would look like his son if he had one.  He is not saying that.  He tried to incite a racial divide in this country just like the other idiots are trying to do, Al Sharpton the tax evading protagonist of racial divide.  He is on TV convincing people that this was a racially charged incident and he wants the Federal Government to press criminal civil rights charges against Zimmerman, who has now been cleared of murder charges and found an innocent man.  That is not good enough.

When OJ Simpson was found innocent of murder, people danced in the streets.  I remember watching that verdict among a large group of people of different ethnicities in college.  When it was read that he was not guilty, people went nuts, yelling and screaming, some saying that it’s about time a black man gets away with it.  I found that incredible.  I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.  Was he found not guilty, yes, did I agree, no, did I riot and protest in the street to re-try an innocent man, NO.  Look at OJ now though, now he will spend the rest of his life in prison over an armed robbery.

So now people are protesting and trying to re-try a jury decided innocent man.  He is receiving death threats, one man went to his twitter account and took a picture of himself with a rifle and the quote was Zimmerman we coming for yo life.  Really?  This man was not arrested right away?  No.  This is somehow acceptable behavior when it is against Zimmerman.  The new black panther party has declared war.  Really?  You have declared war inside the boarders of our own Country?  They should be arrested and tried for treasonous actions against their own Country.  Not acceptable at all.

A racial divide it seems will always live in this Country, and there will always be the ignorant, self-preserving people who attempt to use this to their own advantage, to further their own causes.  There will always be the weak minded who blindly follow without finding out on their own what really is the problem.

This case is over folks.  Whether you like it or not, our justice system went through the process, and found the man innocent.

There are more pressing issues that must be dealt with that the media is hiding when focused on this case.

Think about the NSA and Department of Justice spying on Americans, your emails, phone calls and whatever else they want to track.  The IRS targeting Americans, our soldiers that were left to die in Benghazi, the illegal guns that were run into Mexico that now kill our agents.  All the things you won’t hear because racist hate mongers are making this a racial divide for the Country.
