Your Opinions: Lessons learned from Zimmerman Trial

[gunsmith]

Pretty dumb.

These are going to be the next class of black doctors.

The Adult Trayvon would be lucky to qualify as 'The Mop Boy' at the Medical School.

His Parents bear some responsibility for his DELINQUENCY. 17 years and 21 days old. 'Arrested' twice. His Daddy abandoned Mom and Trayvon when he was 4 years old.

WHAT KIND OF JIVE-ASS DICKWAD abandons a 4 year old boy.

YO, Trayvon-Mom Trayvon-Dad (Datz how Fat-Momma talks) if you were better parents your boy would be alive today.

(any attempt to sugar-coat that would merely be.....sugar coating :) )

Trayvon was not 'Unarmed'

After neighborhood watch patrolman George Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges in a case where he admitted to shooting and killing unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, a frustrated U.S. populace said that maybe the only thing left for black teenagers to do is hope and pray for the best.

'Murica!

Unfortunately, I think it's become clear that a black mans life is only worth something to the race hustlers, mainstream media, and even our President....if someone with lighter skin can be blamed for his death. It's a sobering reality, but it's difficult to draw another conclusion....

Lesson, don't join Neighborhood Watch group. I'll watch my own keep.

Even then legal issues will still rape you. Firearm owners, it's a loose, loose situation.

Well, if you kill someone shouldn't there be oversight through the legal system?

Were you wearing the neighborhood watch badge when the killing happened?

I take it that your answer is a no then.

Face it, the Zimmerman trial is the exception to how the legal system works. And it still worked.

So if I get killed, it's OK if he gets away with a mere 2nd degree murder because I was "stalking" him?

"Gets away"? I don't know what that means to you.

"Gets away"? I don't know what that means to you.

1st degree murder is when they don;t get away with it.

There is no arguing with you.

Yep, nailed it.

Hell yes they do. Medical malpractice acounts for 40-60k deaths per year and is the #6 cause of death in the US

Remember only 50% of all doctors graduate in the top half of their class!!!
