George Zimmerman not guilty.

smudge · Jul 14, 2013

Huge story over here in the states. Seeing the difference in coverage between Fox News & msnbc is remarkable. Fox are struggling to hide their delight & msnbc are clearly aghast at the verdict.
No way this is the end of the story I reckon.
(These are the only 2 news channels we are getting where I am, so not sure how CNN see it).

Fox cant contain itself,i swear even the moustache of Geraldo has gone erect.
I always thought given the laws in Florida Zimmerman would not be found guilty of second degree murder.
CNN are going down the road it was daft to prosecute him for murder and that Zimmerman was not able to be found guilty because of reasonable doubt but he is also definitely NOT innocent.......

American News is such a load of absolute cack sometimes.

You're not wrong; the stuff that Geraldo is spouting is unbelievable.

Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where George Zimmerman offered Trayvon Martin a ride home to get him out of the rain that night?

It really is mind blowing. People on twitter highlighting that a black woman recently got sentenced to 20 years in prison for firing warning shots in the air (the warning was to an abusive husband, I believe).

I don't know much about it but I think basically he was part of neighbourhood watch and shot dead an unarmed black boy, never denied killing him

America, you bunch of idiots.

Watching the defence team do the press conference after the trial was like seeing a manager & his assistant after a victorious Champions League Final.
If anything, they really fanned the flames of racial tension with their remarks.

Not surprised but both angry and sad about this. Shot because of one reason and one reason only, what he looked like

Close Martyn, but he was killed because he was BLACK.

Does everyone get that, because he was killed because he was BLACK.

America, go f u c k yourself.

Well yes but in this case you have to be careful using the strict Black v White argument, it just complicates things even more.
