George Zimmerman found not guilty of Trayvon Martin murder

[Amber Lamps]

You have a pretty limited view of Mexicans and black people.

try to troll elsewhere. I am not going to be a part of this. You are from here on in being ignored. buh-bye.

Oh and I just noticed that this is user submitted news. heh.. yeah.. good going guys, this isn't even gaming related. I'm guessing this thread won't even last much more than a couple hours before it is locked.

Doesn't change that you're insanely ignorant. It seems like you're basing a whole country's ethnic image on it's popular culture. You don't understand the conditions of disenfranchisement.

"The village makes the villain." People are products of their environments.

So when the US government admitted through the Free Associated Press in 1978 that they had been covertly distributing narcotics and firearms to impoverished communities around the country, and that they were operating with Nicaraguan drug cartels (CointelPRO) and heroin king pins in the Golden Triangle to profit off the misfortunes of minorities, that was the ENVIRONMENT that the government created for said demographics.

There's nothing wrong with people in ghettos. Ghettos are what's wrong, but they'll never be abolished because they're profitable. When the average Black male can spend a third of his life in a jail cell working for less than $1US of forced labor, you can see why prison industry is profitable, and you can see why racial profiling is so important to the constitution and the economical prosperity of America. And when individuals try to change the conditions, they first get framed for a crime they did not commit so as to discredit them (MLK - rape, Huey Newton - drug trafficking and use, Tupac - rape, Michael Jackson - child sexual abuse, etc), and if the framing is unsuccessful, their untimely death is conspired.

But if you observe disenfranchised minorities that were raised in stable environments, they always excel athletically, academically, socially and occupationally. Even those disenfranchised minorities who make it out of said ghettos.

ALL people in the world are mentally equal in capabilities, but an environment will dictate how far your mind can go.

as seems that all the trolls are forthcoming now. I should just report both of these and then maybe someone who is sane will lock this thread. I'll just ignore this guy as well. People calling people names and throwing things off a tangent are no better than what they are claiming other people are.

anyways, blocked, reported. I didn't come to this forum for an argument. don't start one.

itt: humanity is fucking pathetic.

You've never travelled, have you? I'm not insulting you. Your backwater environment made you the full-of-animosity, insecure, acutely educated, racist White male. None of those are insults. You fall under the taxonomy of the average human being. Average. Human. Being. Nobody choses what they're taught and raised on from infancy to maturity, and it's hard to relearn a lifetime of miseducation, but that's what you need to do.

Go visit ghettos. Go visit slums in India. Go visit the African countries (Africa is a continent, just so you know) in commercials with small Black children being landed on from fly after fly. Read books. Read about people from Mansa Musa to Ernesto Guevara, from Khun Sa to Patrice Lumumba. Broaden your horizons, student.

Because right now you're an average human being. Not every individual is an anomaly and can make an environment become a product of them. They're called leaders, and they challenge the norm and conformity and innovate the world. Every character in history who has been remembered did just that. Maybe being average is enough for you, though. Personally, I refuse to be a fool.

Laws mean nothing when not enforced evenly. In England guys cut people up and brag on camera. More restrictive gun laws do = more crime. Posting "No guns allowed" tells predators where to go. There are many knife attacks...somein China lately. If all you watch is Msnbc, Fox News, CNN of course your views are limited.

How many murders are not publicized? Kids, infants, get gunned down by gangs in Chicago often. New York, Chicago, etc; only criminals are armed; hardly a progressive vision as it is sold. You hate the Constitution? Move. Democracyis 2 wolves telling the sheep it is dinner. ConstitutionalRepublic, startpage.com that. On page five but this stuff was ridiculous.

 

[Ryukouki]

Man, you guys just don't take a break on this, do you?

I used to have a limited view of events, and then I started taking college courses within the ethnic studies division, and that ended up changing everything. It really does not matter if Trayvon was Caucasian, African American, Asian, etc. What did matter is that a life was taken. Instead of bitching about being killed over his ethnicity, or whatever the heck you guys are arguing about, instead you should focus on what America could do to prevent this tragedy from happening again.

Does shit happen in America? Yes. Was the outcome of this trial fair? It depends on how you look at it. But seriously. There's no point arguing about this anymore. All this topic will do is further incite problems. What I do not understand is how topics like this even are acceptable on this website. I know that GBAtemp has been steering towards a larger audience that's above gaming, but topics that go with politics or religion shouldn't even be posted here, because all that's going to happen is shit like this. If I wanted to read about this kind of news, I'd go elsewhere for it.

 

[p1ngpong]

It's a sad day today and frankly I'm sure that a good 80 percent of you will never understand why this day and this outcome is so sad. Today, my views on how I should conduct my daily affairs were validated. Frankly I'll only go outside to work, aside from that I'm staying locked in this apartment. Each day I'm becoming more and more scared to live in this nation and will spend the remainder of this day in grief while I try to push myself to be as active as I can for productivity's sake.

The best way to conduct your daily affairs and avoid getting murdered as a black male in the USA is to avoid other black males in your daily life and only hang around white people in your free time (when you aren't grieving).

According to a study conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011 there were 279,384 black murder victims, which means that 262,621 were murdered by other blacks, resulting in the 94 percent figure.

Only some Mexicans are decent enough people... Project kids are strong because all they do is eat candy and do push-ups.

Disagreeing with someone's limited (at best) world view means one is a troll. Well, I'm one troll who's tired of all the troll discrimination on these forums...

 

[g4jek8j54]

I am happy with this verdict, and to be honest, if it wasn't for the media race-baiting and blowing this story out of proportion, charges would never have been brought in the first place. There was no way that the state was going to prove these charges beyond a reasonable doubt. Although I think Zimmerman used poor judgment, he did nothing illegal (the 911 operator ADVISED him not to pursue), and nothing which justified Martin brutally attacking him and slamming his head into the concrete. Zimmerman's story is also consistent with the injuries that he had. The lead detective of the case even said that he believed Zimmerman's version of the events. I know that this is FOX News, but this is a very good article on explaining things...

[blahkamehameha]

Media also tried to make this a white man killed black boy case. As one commentator noted, George Zimmerman is as white as President Obama.

 

[VashTS]

I think we just found gbatemp's new legal expert.

you did. my defense: since a possible outcome of this is not guilty, you should find not guilty.

my offense: hey everybodys guilty of sum'en right?

 

[air2004]

If I had a daughter she would look like Autumn Pasquale. Why isn't the media playing up the race card here ? I'll tell ya why , its because she is white.

 

[Deleted member 318366]

It surprised me when the verdict was announced so late at night but that's just my opinion, I didn't really care whether zimmerman would be found guilty or not. I was just ready for the trial to be over and for the media to finally shut up but alas that is not the case...the trial may be over but the travon martin george zimmerman saga is not over yet, there will be some difficulties Mr. Zimmerman will have to deal with in due time? No "Forever" first off he will bear the thought of having killed 17 year old martin, he'll have a target on his back as many would like to see him dead and he'll never be free. It's possible people will forget over the years but the black community will never forget...they will never forget what he did. All anyone can do is pray for him, his family and the safety of him and his family and the travon martin family.

So I'm confused as to why people are still pulling the "Trayvon was beating Zimmerman to death" card. I urge you all to review Zimmerman's injuries after the incident, his denials of immediate treatment, which means there was no injury so serious that his life was even close to being in danger, and then compare it to what is being said. Zimmerman's injuries did not support the level of assault he claimed to have endured. Quite frankly, if you're having your head bashed into the sidewalk, you should have more than a couple of minor cuts. If you were being punched oh so brutally, you should have more than some bruises and a broken nose. The fact that people are still riding the "he was being beaten to death and simply defended himself" bandwagon just tells me that there is an intense refusal to listen to common sense.

Huh. We might just hit 30 after all.

Maybe the reason his injuries aren't so serious is because he stopped Trayvon before they became so.

Like one of the experts said in the trial: "You probably shouldn't wait until you're on the verge of death before defending yourself"

 

[stomp_442]

10 pages? wow

Zimmerman was within his rights and the laws of the state of Florida to shot his attacker. That's why he was found not guilty. What don't tempers understand about what's going on here.

I don't feel one can adequately judge whether or not their life is in danger after only a few punches, especially when we don't know why those punches were delivered. The "he just jumped me like some street hooligan and threatened my life" thing is in no way believable.

This is a video game forum, thus I think if you have an off topic conversation then anyone is more than capable and obliged to state what they please.

I dont think society works that way boss,
