I'd like us to hold a mock trial for the Zimmerman case with no rules of engagement. Flat out opinions. Anything goes (within the confines of the regular I.D. rules of course). You can choose to be prosecution, defense, or peanut gallery.

I'll start us off. I'm taking the side of the defense.

Zimmerman should serve the minimum sentence, and I will explain my reasoning why in a four-part wall of text (prepare to be offended):

First I'd like to comment on this recent character defaming of Zimmerman. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...k1&pLid=179799

Point #1: This woman's testimony is completely unrelated to the shooting, and she has absolutely no evidence to support her claims. Even if it is true, she said the molestation occured as late as age 19, and not once did she ever admit to having told him "no" or "stop". Let me point out her grammar: "they talk a lot of bad things about black people." Seriously? Dey talk a lot a bad things about wat people? People "talk a lot of bad things" about most people. I'm about to "talk a lot of bad things" about stupid people.
Point 2: Treyvon Martin got shot because he was stoned out of his mind and thought he was a badass. Even if he thought he might have been getting robbed, he had no money on him so what could he have been fighting to protect? His judgement was clearly impaired, and obviously his parents had no problem with their high school age son doing drugs. That's what it boils down too. Treyvon Martin died because he was doing the wrong thing, at the wrong time, in the wrong place, to the wrong person. He must have been "feeling lucky".
Point 3: This new case against Zimmerman is based completely on the word of a single woman with a grand total of zero evidence. All hard evidence supports Zimmerman acting in self defense. About her statement of the Zimmerman family not liking black people who don't act white, most people don't like black people who don't "act white" if you consider acting white being a law abiding citizen with morals (the stereotype). There's a hell of a lot of criminal role models in "black culture". Yes that's me attacking BET and hip hop, where bragging about your criminal lifestyle is commonplace, along with lots of "twerking dat monkay".
Point 4: If Martin was white, black people wouldn't care at all about his death. It's only because he's black that there's an outcry from black citizens. That's what's racist. If Martin was white, black people wouldn't care. Racist.
Personal note: I agree with Zimmerman's mother if what she said is true, Obama is the worst president who's held office in my lifetime. Not because he's black, but because he sucks at being Commander in Chief. He makes $400,000/yr and he doesn't even bother to wear a suit and tie. He lied to the troops on multiple occasions. He throws parties in the white house when he is supposed to be handling serious business, and he blows money like a rock star. He lacks the disclipline of character essential to being a leader of men. Hate to say it, (wait I lied, I'd love to say it) based on what I've been hearing, it seems to be hard for many black americans to look past skin color and their own bias to actually analyze a situation before passing judgement. If you have a different opinion, I'd love to hear the reasons why.

tldr; woman's testimony has no evidence, treyvon martin an idiot, obama a failure, some blacks defending both of them for racial reasons.
