I would like to live in a country where ganstas don't walk around with their hoodies up and their pants halfway down trying to intimidate people so that when others saw a person acting this way they wouldn't have to profile or be concerned for their own well being. When you set an expectation, be it good or bad, by the way you act and look there are consequences that go along with the image you are portraying. It's a reality - we are human beings.
If you don't like the consequences - don't portray that image.

I want to live in a neighborhood where criminals don't break into your home while you and your baby are home and continue to keep stealing your property! Thank God someone reached out to her afterwards to see if they were ok and could help her, that was George Zimmerman.

It was just reported that the jury will take a one hour lunch break at noon today.

The crew on HLN-TV (formerly Court TV) jury watch reported earlier that if George Zimmerman is convicted, he will immediately be taken across the street for processing. There will be no remand.

If I were a juror, I would not render a not gulity verdict on the weekend.

Agree......the first think I would have asked my fellow jurors.....do any of you have reasonable doubt about weather GZ is guilty? If any one of them said yes, then it would have been over from there.

Doesn't Martin have a right to self defense?

Not to be snotty, but just curious where you would prefer to live?
I carry a gun. I am sure that as an aging female I would have no chance in a street fight. I'm trained to shoot but not to fight. How should I protect myself in a street fight, or robbery, or rape or home invasion (which I have had happen by the way.)?? I think you are saying I should take my chances that I could win if attacked?

What would he be defending against??? He didn't have any evidence of a blow to his head or body.

In a word...no. You cannot assault someone and then claim self-defense when they fight back.

OJ Simpson, Casey Anthony, and George Zimmerman. True justice!
