I have only posted my personal opinions and observations, not the political or media hype. I just think that GZ had no right to appoint himself judge, jury, and executioner that night.
Getting out of his car and then not following the advice of the dispatcher was not his big mistake. He could have met them at his car, as he originally said he would, and then taken them up the path indicating where he last saw him. Not adhering to NW protocol was his big mistake. Technically, everyone is a member of NW whether they patrol or have a title. They are to be observant and call the authorities to report anything they have a concern about. Call law enforcement and report.. That is what is posted on the sign and what was emphasized in the meetings when their NW was established. The were never instructed to take matters into their own hands. Our CW follow the same guidelines. They have no legal authority just as GZ did not.
I have heard him on the tapes and his interview tell lie after lie. So have the jurors. I still say that will carry a great deal of weight with these jurors.
As for the riots, there are idiots in all walks of life. Remember all the demonstrations outside the Anthony house all hours of the day and night which included bringing young children with them? Talk about bad parenting!

First we agree that the fact this came to trial was POLITICAL.
For me, that makes the trial,
which as we agree would not exist except for the politics, POLITICAL.
I cannot comment on the trial as I have not watched it. I have read both good and bad about BOTH folks involved prior to this sad evening, and I surely was not there.
What has prompted me to post here is the atmosphere being applied. This has the makings of having a VERY BAD ENDING.....and I am not speaking of the verdict. It is so like Sharpton's other forays like this. People on here rooting, reading others minds, and ignoring the fact this entire thing was politically motivated from the beginning.
If you agree that it came to trial only because of politics, how can a side be taken ? I have total distaste for the entire thing, not just a Zimmerman mistruth, or a Martin error, so I suppose it is like asking people to disband from watching a riot....I got no shot.
The posters,if on the old political board, would fall into predictable categories, and that seems very sad when speaking of a trial made possible by political movements.
I am not judging anyone, but this has BAD ENDING written all over it. I pray I am wrong.
