Peace loving people do not want revenge, we will not riot, but we are very sad that a young man's life was extinguished by a reckless man who went looking for trouble and used lethal force when he experienced minor injuries and a bruised ego. When this man was acquitted and not held accountable for his actions we suffer knowing that this is a very sad night for the state of Florida and for this country. The next step is not in the streets, but in the legislature where we will fight for representatives who create laws that hold gun owners to very high standards and make every dark alley in this country a safe place for all Americans regardless of their clothing, age or the color of their skin!

You do realize that six people sat and listend to evidence in this case for 24 days came to a different conclusion that you did. But you probably know something that they don't.

This case sends a bad signal and sets a dangerous precedent. It's a blueprint on how to profile, stalk, provoke and then shoot your target and claim self defense to get off.

GZ may not be going to jail per se but his life will become a jail without bars. Somebody better tell Georgie he needs a much bigger gun. His life will never be the same but at lest he still has life.

Trayvon profiled George Zimmerman when he called him a "creepy ass cracker". It goes both ways - wish you could see that. This was not some innocent kid like the prosecution tried to portray him - maybe just maybe he was the aggressor.

Just like the jury that found Casey Anthony not guilty!

People who are finding joy in the not guilty plea, sadly, are ignoring the trajedy of the situation. This wasn't a damn game to be won or lost.

I don't think it is joy, but relief that the system appears to have worked this time and an innocent man won't be spending his life in jail.

I think that it shows that they had no case and were grasping at straws.

I sat on a jury once and the defense was doing the same thing. The case was pretty cut and dried and it took the jury about ten minutes to come to a decision of guilty. One of the things that helped us was that the defense attorney kept trying to introduce things that were totally irrelevant to the events in question.

Afterward some of us felt that the defendant should have sued her attorney for malpractice. There is no way that the case should have been brought to court. They should have settled. Unfortunately in this case we, the public cannot sue the AG for malpractice. We can only vote them out.
