Re: Zimmerman not guilty!!!
I think the correct verdict was reached. Prosecuting this case was a matter of appeasing the race card / civil rights folks.
I have no doubt that Zimmerman is a jerk and was obnoxiously over zealous in his running of the neighborhood watch. However not for one second have I ever believed he set out to shoot someone. I believe he confronted someone he thought was an intruder and a fight then ocurred during which he fired his gun in self defense.
I think it was inexcusable that the DA and media spend months portraying the murder victim as a 12 year old kid instead of the 17 year old young man he was. A young man involved with drugs, pics of guns, bad behavior in school,etc. That does not make him guilty of anything that night but does make it clear he was not an innocent 12 year old boy killed by a mean ole man. The totality of the information about the victim indicates he very well could have acted aggresively towards Zimmerman once Zimmerman confronted him and asked what he was doing there.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
