Zimmerman and his family will be fine. NBC and the rest of the media will be paying for their retirements soon for their shameful and biased media coverage (example: editing his 911 call).

Damn I was hoping he was guilty, so he can get killed like them 8 people in breaking bad 8th episode of 5th season..... And what really pissed me off is he walking out a free man and a richer man ... Yall remember he got funds donated... Must be nice having a white judge as a daddy.... Wtf when we gonna get some justice and it's a shame how people don't give a f about travon Martin around my town but the black folks... All the Asian and whites are happy and said I told u he was innocent... Bs his daddy got him free agian

This is not true. There was a self defense case in Long Island, NY involving a Black father who shot and killed a white kid threatening his son. He was found guilty but pardoned by the mayor.
Here is the story:

And then the Martin family will come and swoop in and take how they profitted off Trayvon's blood and hide the money they received with a wrongful death lawsuit.

I have to ask and I am not trying to be a jag....
but why does everyone say zimmerman is white (half white/half peruvian) and obama is black (half white/half black)?
is it context? media?

I NEVER said people shouldn't care. Never.
Good points. Let me ask...how much do you think his life will have to change from this point on? I mean, filling out a job app and putting "George Zimmerman" on it is almost like a scarlet letter, IMO.
You'd feel good about another (presumably) black male getting locked up over this?
I ain't take no damn L.
Getting worked up over some case that in a week or 2 everyone is gonna move on from and find their next thing to get all political and righteous about.
What's lost in all of this is Zimmerman is a minority. Whether people want to acknowledge that or not is another story.
And I do agree...people will move on from this in a week or two.

That's because we showed restraint and poise and aren't as stupid as Middle America likes to think we are.
As far as Casey Anthony goes, life has been the exact opposite of easy for her. She had to relocate to Ohio where even there everyone recognizes her and gives her crap for killing her daughter. The difference with Zimmerman is that many idolize him for a variety of reasons. Hell, Stormfront had a 500+ page thread last night celebrating him. People are legitimately happy that he was found not guilty of the charges brought forth. That is until it happens to them.

So whats happens now?
I see there was a whole bunch of rallies with people saying "no justice, no peace" after the verdict was read. I guess a bunch of people also blacked out there social media pictures as well.
What is the next step? Do people just go home after they are done chanting? Will people just change their social media profile picture back to normal now?
I am curious to see what comes out of this, if anything at all.

Im angry, upset, feel defeated... my heart goes out to Trayvon's family.
I dont know where to place my anger and frustration. Of course Im naturally upset with Zimmerman, Jury, etc.
But im trying to be mature and thoughtful and say that the florida laws should capture a lot of my anger, but the more I think about it, i dont even know......
Self defense laws(which was Zimmerman's defense) protect a lot of people, probably have saved a lot of lives, so i dont know if getting rid of the law is the right call... and im not fully aware of what other ppl are suggesting happen in regards to laws...
Stand your ground law, is a different law, and Zimmerman didnt use that as his defense, if I am not mistaken.
And Zimmermans actions all led up to what happen that night, profiling, the getting out of the car, all that.... But in the court of law unfortunately, the jury instructions,and the jury bthemselves wasnt able to legally factor that in(which is BS). The totality of the whole situation should have been judged.... not just that moment during the altercation. Because it was just the altercation that was judged, there was really no way they could get a conviction unless the jury ignored everything else and just went with emotion
RIP Trayvon.....it's tough man.

So you are disappointed that emotional people misled by the media did not destroy property, or at worse injure/ possibly kill innocent people ?

Because you're judged by how you look in this country and not one drop.
Just like how Tryavon was judged for being black walking in that neighborhood.

I disagree with some of the things you said, but I really wish more people would react/ think the way you do. It is really mature and I commend it.

Just asking, why does it matter that Zimmerman being a minority isn't breaking news or said in every sentence? Hispanics discriminate against other races all the time as well.

The people who are disappointed are looking at this as a black/white thing. The people who are not can see that its a simple right/wrong thing. If some people weren't so sensitive to star fighting over words than things like this wouldn't happen. Regardless of whatever it is I say, you have no right to put hands on me. If you do, I have the right to protect myself. THIS WAS A CLEAN SELF DEFENSE CASE. If you changed the people around, I would say the same thing.

The NAACP on Saturday night posted a petition to the Department of Justice, asking Attorney General Eric Holder to file civil rights charges against Zimmerman.
And I'm pretty positive Florida's stand your ground laws will be changed now that everyone is aware how ridiculous it is.
But I love sarcastic comments like this, because you don't really care, or don't know about change doesn't mean it doesn't happen
