O'Mara said 'we will seek and we get get civil suit immunity'. Can someone expound on that? Is Zimmerman immune from civil suits?

I feel like the first thing he does is run to england or australia or new zealand. After he stays quiet for a little bit, a few years later that he writes a book, sells in the U.S., makes some money, then stays really quiet again, then writes one as a memoir, sells it, makes some money, dies quietly off somewhere not in the U.S. I can't see any reason for him not to write a book and leave the U.S.

He's a fucking defense attorney. What kind of self-respecting defense attorney would disapprove of this verdict? You have to understand the defense attorney culture -- particularly the inherent antagonism that defense attorneys have against the State. That's why this is so shocking to me.

February 26, 2012 - George Zimmerman Shoots and Kills Trayvon Martin

Zimmerman claims self-defense. After an investigation, the police agree and decide not to press charges.

March 8, 2012 - The AP Falsely Describes Zimmerman as "White"

The story of the grieving parents of Trayvon Martin demanding Zimmerman be arrested first achieves national attention on March 8 when CBS This Morning runs a report.

Later that same day, the Associated Press throws the first log on the racial fire by inaccurately describing Zimmerman as white.

March 13, 2012 - NBC's Al Sharpton Uses MSNBC Platform to Stoke Phony Racial Narrative

Breitbart editor-in-chief Joel Pollak:

Sharpton devoted a portion of his program on MSNBC, PoliticsNation, to the Trayvon Martin case. He interviewed Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump, who reiterated the accusation that Zimmerman was “white”: “We think Trayvon Martin didn’t know who the heck this white man was who approached him before he got killed.”

Earlier that same day, Sharpton's National Action Network released a statement calling for...

...a “complete and thorough investigation” into Martin’s death. He added: “[W]e are told that racial language was used when the young man reported his suspicions to police[.]”

The story about Zimmerman's use of racial language was false.

March 13, 2012 - ABC News Reporter Claims Trayvon Shot Because "He Was Black"

About ten days before Al Sharpton and President Obama would launch the Zimmerman story into the stratosphere, Matt Gutman, an ABC News correspondent based in Miami, Florida, was already (and without a shred of evidence) laying the track for a racial narrative.

Gutman covered the case for the network, and his Twitter feed at the time was full of falsehoods, innuendo, and irresponsible speculation. In one tweet, Gutman came right out and claimed Trayvon was shot "bc [because] he was black."

Gutman would also recklessly accuse Zimmerman of "stalking" and shooting down Trayvon.

I think Zimmerman was a "wanna-be cop" and I think that's why he was following Martin. I think it's likely he profiled Zimmerman, but that doesn't mean he's racist. I'm not going to dance around the issue, a lot of suburban robberies are carried out by young black men, so it would make sense that Zimmerman sees a young black man and profiles him as a burglar (The oft repeated counter argument being it was night and Trayvon was wearing a hoodie so Zimmerman couldn't have known his race). That doesn't mean he's racist, as he has clearly shown an interest in fighting for racial equality and has even been involved in programs that benefit black people. The idea that his sincerity in these programs was questionable is absurd. Unless he had some grand scheme to murder a black child in the future, he had no purpose to participate in such activities if he wasn't sincere.

Man the Twitter reactions to the verdict are something else. Celebrities in particular are painfully ignorant of the details of the trial.

Get angry!
Vigilantes are there.
Anger is the first step. It's gonna lead to revolution!
The police are everywhere but justice is nowhere!

Don't use CNN.
Al Jazeera use alternative media!
