True, and imagine this...not a single white person rioted.

Well, no, but they took to twitter threatening to kill her.

I am sure there will be a lot of that tonight.

Sad. People need to grow up and move on with life. Don't like stand your ground? Change the law. Rioting and hurting others will do nothing to solve the problem.

Yeah but we have been killed for to many years.

So have white people. :doh:

Want me to post a news story of a couple of black teens who robbed a white woman here in Georgia a few months back and then shot her newborn baby in the face at point blank range right in front of her? Want me to point out that "your people" have been killing each other far more than white people have been killing "your people"? The statistics for black on black crime are staggering.

Why was he following a child did Trayvon not have rights?

The decision of the case does not reflect this opinion at all.

People seriously need to not get so dang emotional, and think rationally.

There are no laws against following anyone (with the exception of cases where an official protection order is in place).

If following someone was a crime by itself, it'd be too easy to use that to get people you don't like locked up.

No, he didn't.

Trayvon had no right to throw Zimmerman onto the ground and beat him repeatedly in the head.

Buying skittles and wearing a hoodie is now a capital crime apparently.

Skittles and Hoodie had nothing to do with it. Perhaps you've been listening to the wrong news station

17 years of age isn't a child. It's a teenager just months from being a lawful adult.

It's not illegal to follow someone. Did Zimmerman not have the right not to be jumped and beaten?

It took a riot to make moves to correct police policy problem we live in a violent society where respect is taken.

So,the police are at fault that he didn't get convicted?

What is the context of the first part of your post? There is no Book,chapter or verse..
It's easy to cherry pick the Bible to justify violence.

I agree, partially. close to 1000 people have been shot in Chicago this year, with 222 of them dying. Where is the outrage at those crimes? I never once see a single facebook post, vigil, or anything coming from that.

No, but attacking someone who's following you based on the sole notion that "I don't like them following me" is.

People are still being killed in Chicago yet I don't hear anybody calling for riots there

The only thing accomplished in that debacle was black people burned down their own neighborhoods.

For one thing, being followed is not a violation of one's rights. For another, one does not have the same rights on private property as one does on public property

Oh My! All fools that carry Skittles and wear Hoodies better watch out! :doh:

Ghorealdo, is that you?

It was the right verdict -- as I've been saying all along, Zimmerman had more than enough reasonable doubt to get off.

Huh ... where ya been, Touma? I've posted repeatedly on the shootings in Chicago.

I fail to understand why black on black crime, which happens way more than white on black crime, is ignored but if a white person so much as admits they used the "n" word fifty years ago they're practically ruined. It's ridiculous.

That situation could have and should have been taken care of legally and without the childish actions that occurred.
How many innocent lives were lost and lively hoods destroyed..
To say that the taking of life after a not guilty verdict sounds like a double standard to me.
