Sort of.

It was the right verdict sure but it never should have gone to court.

The local police had it right straight of the bat when they closed the case because it was so open and shut.

Then the media ran it as a race-bait circus with a ton of misinforation and ruined an innocent man's life. It's really sad.

There is not a single fact to back up this 'theory.'

The facts of the case prove that the only verdict there should ever have been was the one made by the jurors. Anyone who disagrees has bought into race-baiting lies.

Literally facts are racist, and an innocent man needs to go to prison for a murder that never happened because of it.

Put himself in a situation where he could claim self defense? Yeah he totally allowed himself to be attacked just so he could pull out his gun. If he had straight murder on his mind he would of shot trayvon before he even got close.

This. Of course, this case caused BLM (an organization that has caused tens of millions of dollars worth of damage and countless lives) to rise and created the anti police movement, which was obviously just a clever disguise for racism.

It's Zimmerman's fault for following and stalking someone, and then getting out of his vehicle when the 911 operator told him not to. If he'd done what the operator said, both he and Trayvon would still be alive.

Okay - I'm really sick and tired of pointing out the fact that the dispatcher did not IN ANY WAY say to stay in the truck, so how about this: you find the 911 tape that has the dispatcher explicitly stating he needs to stay in his truck.

If you or anyone else does that - find a legit recording of the dispatcher saying 'sir, you need to stay in the vehicle. Do not give chase.' or something to that effect - I will close my account within 24 hours.

But they are two facts. If Trayvon hadn't crossed paths with George, he'd still be alive today -- and that's where the outrage came from. You don't think that there was at least a little bit of racial profiling coming from George?

If Trayvon didn't choose to assault an armed man, he'd still be alive.

If Trayvon would have been civil with Zimmerman, he might still be alive.

As for the 'racial profiling' part, the FBI investigated Zimmerman for six months - if 'profiling' played a factor, they would have concluded as such. They didn't.
