Generation Z Running for Congress

Hahaha, you paint a pretty picture in favor of Zimmerman. He called the cops on people constantly. He was following Zimmerman and looking at his character…

Huh?

[Tahuyaman]

No. Actually you are making things up about Zimmerman to fit your narrative. I'm not sure why you feel the need to convict Zimmerman's character to make Trayvon look innocent.

Martin needlessly provoked a confrontation and got himself killed. There should be a lesson to learn in there somewhere.

As it turned out, after more came out about Zimmerman, he wasn't such a good guy........Trayvon wasn't, either.

Not sure what you are talking about. The only issues that I heard of were from his ex-wife and they commonly call ex-husbands everything from abusers to child molesters at divorce time and then retract it later.

There was no conviction because there wasn't enough evidence to do so. That doesn't mean that Zimmerman was innocent.

Doesn't mean he was guilty.

Remember that principle, innocent until proven guilty?

Additional note:

The list of all the phone calls as printed by the media included things like his alarm went off at his house as a Zimmerman call. Or then the one where there was a stray pitbull in his garage.

The media went overboard in character assassination.
NBC had to fire their editor for doctoring the tape. CNN looked foolish once again.

Exactly, I agree. One pretty crappy guy killing another.

A lack of conviction means he wasn't proven guilty. But innocence wasn't proven. It wasn't the objective to prove him innocent, only that they didn't have enough to find him guilty, whether he was or wasn't.

Huh?

You didn't know that? I'll let you check into it if you have interest.

He was found not guilty because he did not commit a crime. He acted in self defense. Martin attacked him and was killed as a result. That’s all.

In order to be guilty one must first commit a crime.

You are welcome to your opinion. But the court didn't say that, they just said that there will be no conviction based on the information received. "Not Guilty" is not the same as "Innocent".
