Not Guilty

Not guilty!

That was the verdict a few hours ago in the Zimmerman trial. 

I was stunned and surprised at the verdict to say the least. I honestly didn't think Zimmerman could get justice and a fair trial after all the attacks and crap from blacks that went on. 

That's not to mention the threats of the last week or two to burn the country down essentially. 

But as in the King incident, the jurors stood up to the pressure and threats and voted for justice and what was right instead of the easy way out. 

They voted not guilty. 

Thank you jurors for doing what was right and not expedient. Thank you for listening to the facts and not the outright lies of the prosecution team. 

Thank you for doing your job the way it is supposed to be done.

Contrary to numerous comments made by the talking heads of cable news, there were no facts to support anything but self-defense. 

All the things they said, which were inaccurate to put it nicely or outright lies to be blunt, that evidence did not exist. 

There was no evidence GZ stalked him, confronted him, shot him in cold blood, shot him while they were standing, stood over him and shot him, chased him, put the gun on just to go find a black person and kill him or any of the other crap. Especially shoot a young boy. 

That is one that really gets me pissed off. They kept at it tonight. "Zimmerman murdered a young boy", "Zimmerman murdered a young child" Etc. 

A five year old, a nine year old, is a young boy/child. Maybe an eleven or even twelve year old could be called a young boy or child but sure as hell not a seventeen year old who is one year away from being an adult. 

I listened to the talking heads etc. tonight on all four channels (Fox, CNN, HLN and MSNBC) and once again was astounded at the outright lies that were coming out of their mouths. They keep pushing this narrative of an alternate reality that never occurred.

A couple of them were saying, almost calling for, violence come tomorrow when blacks wake up and find out about this. 

The only one anywhere besides Gerardo Rivera who kept saying he knew it all along was Robert Zimmerman the brother of George Zimmerman who clearly and succinctly said the truth nobody wants or is willing to hear.

The person most responsible for Trayvon Martin's death was Trayvon Martin.

By the evidence we know GZ was watching him, we know he was following him at a distance and we know TM took off running and disappeared. We know GZ stopped following at the dispatcher's comments and headed back to his car. We also know that from out of the darkness Trayvon sprung out upon GZ and confronted GZ. This is what his female friend said in her testimony before changing it to make TM look better and GZ look bad. 

We know he challenged GZ who tried to diffuse it by saying he didn't have a problem and then the phone call ended. 

According to GZ Trayvon then said something like "Well you do now" and cold cocked him which resulted in a broken nose. Now even if you take out the reply GZ says he made you can't take away the broken nose from being decked. 

So we know TM started it and as they shuffled around with GZ trying to get away they moved some distance down at which point GZ ended up on the ground. We know TM then proceeded to punch him at least several times and pound his head into the cement at least several times. 

Whether it was two, four, six or more Mr. Zimmerman felt his life was in danger or he was going to be seriously injured. He was stunned, shocked, probably in shock and couldn't think clearly as he felt himself losing consciousness. Now whether you believe GZ on what he said was told to him about he was going to die tonight or not, again by this time he certainly had reasonable fear of great bodily harm which, frankly, he probably thought was already happening and which could possibly even result in death. 

So at that moment, not before, not after not anything but at that moment the question was did he have a reasonable fear of either of those two things and all the facts, and I want to stress ALL, show clearly that he did and he fired and a seventeen year old young man died that night. 

I don't know what its called in the black community but in the Mexican community it used to at least be call machismo and basically its an "I'm big and I'm bad and I'm going to kick your a**." type attitude. 

Trayvon, again through the friends testimony, said he saw GZ standing and watching him. That's important because he was standing there not chasing him or in pursuit of him but standing there. Later on it became some white guy is following me but not chasing and not pursuing him, just following.

Trayvon decided he was going to teach this "creepy white a** cracker" a lesson. I mean he's seventeen and thinks he's all big and bad and he's going to kick this jerks butt. So he circles around and hides until GZ gets near him and pounces. 

Hey I get it. I have two kids who are in their early twenties now and through their teen age years and even today with one of them they have and had an attitude of F you, I'll kick your a**. They liked confronting people and they didn't shy away from a fight. They had no problem going after someone who pissed them off or who said stuff or whatever reason. Typical teen behavior. I get it.

The problem is not what we know now but what GZ knew then. This person came out of nowhere, confronted him, decked him, got him on the ground and began slamming his fists into GZ's face and bashing his head into the ground. GZ up until that point thought he was acting suspicious, that his hand keep going to his waistband and that suddenly he was losing consciousness. He even thought the guy had something in his hands to account for how hard TM was striking him.

Now we learned of course he wasn't one of the black teens who had been stalking the neighborhood and committing crimes for many long months, and we learned he had no weapons except his physical makeup and strength but GZ didn't know that at the time. 

That's what led to the death of a seventeen year old young man. GZ thought he was close to his age as a matter of fact. 

If this had been a normal circumstance for Trayvon he probably would have beat the guy good and left heading home. If he's a typical teen he's been in at least a couple of fights by seventeen. This isn't talking about texts or anything but just that a whole lot of teens get in fights by that age including mine. 

The sad thing was that GZ didn't know he was just going to get the crap beat out of him and then it would be over. (I'm hoping that was what would have happened, but we don't know) Trayvon just trying to scare him and beat him up and that would have been it. 

GZ didn't know that and fearing for his life and/or great bodily injury he fired his weapon to save himself. 

A young man lies dead because of all this.

But to continue to blame Zimmerman as so many did all night is wrong. It was wrong seventeen months ago and its even more wrong now.

The NAACP has demanded the Justice Dept. do in Sanford to GZ what they successfully demanded they do in LA those many years ago which is to charge GZ again and prosecute him on the same charges only on a Federal level. In that case the LAPD officers got significant jail sentences for a crime they had been acquitted from. 

I sincerely hope that it won't happen again but knowing that jacka** Holder if he can figure out a way or make one up he'll be down there going after GZ again. 

One thing to not forget is that he was responsible for this entire witch hunt on GZ in the first place. This trial would have never taken place if Holder and the DOJ hadn't forced the issue.

I worry that instead of this being the end of it that instead for GZ it may be just beginning.

As I write this LAPD is on a citywide tactical alert because of something going on they aren't describing really. I can't help but to wonder if it has anything to do with the verdict or not.

I hope I don't wake up to hear the blacks have went on the rampage again but I'm afraid I will. In that I hope I'm wrong.

To the Martin followers and supporters, you got your arrest when there were no grounds to do so, you got your trial when there was no evidence to support that arrest or any of the charges and you've destroyed a man's life, vilifying him and degrading him with your constant and continuing comments and assertions again with no facts to back any of it up. 

Can't you be happy for getting everything you wanted or are you just a bunch of sore losers who wanted a conviction regardless of whether or not the man was guilty?

Hell, why did I even ask that question when I already know the answer to it. Stupid me. Of course they can't and of course they want a conviction of an innocent man just like those LAPD officers twenty odd years ago.

They didn't get it then and they didn't get it tonight but they destroyed the officers lives then as they're trying to do now to GZ.

To all those blacks on the cable news channels (talking heads) talking about being so afraid of their little boys going to the store and getting shot on the way home and how to prevent that. All I can say is to teach them to not start fights and pound someone's head into the sidewalk who just might have the means to defend themselves. 

Then your kids will make it home just fine. 

As to your comments on "Stand Your Ground" laws. This law was NOT used here in the GZ case at GZ's choice. He could have taken the easy way out by using it but did not in order to have his innocence proven in court as it was Saturday night. 

I truly hope you never get your wish, that those laws don't get removed but that more states put them in place along with CCW laws. 

So I guess we'll see what happens next........
