Trayvon Martin
Protesters want George Zimmerman arrested. George said he was in fear of his life, while acting in self defense and apparently the police believed him. Now people like Jessy Jackson are adding their support for the protesters. Anything that comes out about Trayvon is called “character assassination”. Can there be any justice?
Do you agree with the protesters or the police?

Just because the legal system produces justice doesn’t mean people will accept it. And just because people accept it doesn’t mean it’s justice.
@SwordAndSacrifice - And your answer is? ……protesters or police?
I think the media has been publicly trying people since the OJ Simpson case. How can anyone get a fair trial with people like Nancy Grace spewing their brand of justice from every angle just for ratings. The police not only have to solve the crime, but have to dodge the crap thrown at them from everywhere else.
This case has the same look and feel as the Duke Lacrosse case where a team of college athletes were railroaded by the Press and a bunch of poverty pimps like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
The DA ended up being thrown out of office.
The real injustice in the Trayvon case is that the Black Panthers can put a $10,000 dollar bounty of a US citizen’s head and Obama and his Justice Department throw in with the poverty pimps.
I don’t agree with anyone at this point. There isn’t enough evidence to prove anything either way as far as I know. Justice has to be meted out through due process and we can’t forget that ever. People like Jesse Jackson don’t have the right to scream foul until all the facts are known.
Trayvon Martin was a thug who smoked weed at school and beat up a bus driver before terrorizing the neighborhood where he met his demise. George Zimmerman is a hero IMHO.
I think the police should of acted swifter. Under normal circumstances this Zimmerman guy would of been arrested on the spot. If that was the case, he would of later been release under due process and the legal system would of taken its course.
I’m more so with the protestors simply because you never shoot and murder an unarmed person. You would also think that being black should not warrant that that person is “suspicious”, and especially with a history of where Zimmermann has called in 46 suspicious people in 2011 alone (all whom were black) and none were convicted, you can’t help but feel like there might be some racial profiling there.
With the dribs and drabs of contradictory information a month after the incident, with the selective reportage by the media, why should we expect justice by trying the case in the “court” of public opinion?
@Kowpatty - I don’t understand why anyone watches Nancy Grace. I agree with you.
@sometimestheycomebackanyway - I feel Jackson and Sharpton are really hurting America for their own self agendas.
@zionlover - The jury is still out. -so true
@SKANLYN - Thanks for your comment
@catstemplar2 - The DA is saying there was no evidence to even have him arrested.
@laytexduckie - But should people be tried and convicted in the public arena?
@districtofcalamity - So true
@Randy7777 - If the police fail to do anything to apprehend Zimmermann, then the public might insist to take things into their own hands. And with the Sanford Police, it looks like they aren’t doing much to immediately bring Zimmermann in. What should have happened is to have Zimmermann arrested first, questioned, interviewed and if the evidence didn’t stick (from an unbiased perspective), then he could have been sent free. But even they did not do that.
