Not likely, no one will. Just trying to make a living and go home.Will Mr Sharpton be fighting for Jacqueline too?
Nobody can be this stupid.
If this case were to happen in Mexico (Zimmerman's homeland, I believe), and Travor was just there on vacation.
Same situation, but instead a hotel/motel complex and same circumstances.
There would be a US public outcry about the verdict and police handling in Mexico.
And of course US citizens pointing out how dangerous Mexico is, and to never visit there.
But, this happened on US soil, so it's all fine and goody !
And on the other hand, if it would have happend in Mexico, Zimmerman would have been convicted, since he wouldn't have been allowed to carry a gun in the first place, and definitly wouldn't be able to justify it as self defense after being told by the "cops" (911) to stay putt !
In matter of fact, Zimmermann would have been conficted in almost any other country of this planet, except some war torn ones.
This outcome in Florida opens the door to allow almost any common fist fight to have fetal outcomes with no concequences.
Now it looks like Zimmerman's lawyer will file for a stand your ground hearing. If he wins then he is free from any civil suits.
Obama just jumped in. He said respect the jury's decision but then went on to push for gun control.

Unfortunately it is quite easy to get a CCW in Florida. $50 at the local gun show for the course(includes your fingerprinting,picture) and $75 background check that's it. I know of a person once convicted of assault have his rights restored and now carries legally. Welcome to the Gunshine state. I believe we have more CCW licenses than any other state.
I would sure hate to see some fine, upstanding members of the NBP get caught in a cross fire when they roll into the wrong "whitey" neighborhood that happens to be well organized.
What happened to the violent crime rate in Florida when you adopted the "shall issue" concealed carry law back in 1987?
It dropped. A lot. And it kept dropping every year since then. "Shall issue" concealed carry laws prevent crime. Its a proven fact.

I think you need to check those facts. Violent crime I believe dropped throughout the country at the same time. It is a phenomena not easily explained.
No, they are completely different things.
In the Peoples Republik of Kalifornia for instance, you have a "duty to retreat" even within your own home before claiming self defense as a justification for killing someone, and can be prosecuted and or civilly litigated for failing to do so.
"Stand your ground" or "castle doctrine" generally only means that, at some point (usually within one's home) the attacked party has the legal right to stand and defend themselves than being forced by the law to continually retreat from the aggressor.
"Castle doctrine" was not a legal issue in the Zimmerman case and was not part of his defense.
Bring it on LOSER'S!No.
Through no fault of their own.... they are mental midgets.
Fueled on by people like this.
Yes I agree. I don't have a problem with Florida's gun laws or their easiness to get CCW permits.What happened to the violent crime rate in Florida when you adopted the "shall issue" concealed carry law back in 1987?

AH, the judge also instructed the jury that they could also give a manslaughter verdict.Nice. I think the Black Panthers have a handful of members these days, and the vast majority of African-Americans think they are idiots. Although I disagree with the verdict, I heard some commentary last night that made sense. It's apparently very difficult to get a Second Degree Murder conviction in Florida. The prosecution should have never gone for "Murder 2", but should have tried to get Zimmerman on Manslaughter instead. Game over.
