So, the current NAACP leader in Norfolk had a moment of clarity and posted a comment relating to the past criminal acts of the deceased thug, and now he is being lynch-mobbed by his very brethren?

Or it wasn't a "moment of clarity" but instead the words of a generally levelheaded individual?
Jesus I may not sleep tonight... Is it bad I am wallowing in the pity party? They spent so much time vilifying GZ and poisoning the public and still didn't get their way. It just makes me happy a case that should not have gone to trial at all IMHO did and it came back with JUSTICE.
The same word those who lost would be using had he been found guilty. Instead there are calls for investigations on what went wrong.
Now the spin is "Trevon was on trial for his own murder" since it didn't go their way.
After looking at the case in black and white...legally Zimmerman shot the kid in self-defense and shouldn't have been charged for murder. I still believe that had Zimmerman not followed him, no houses would've been robbed and nothing would've happened.
Good for Zimmerman, but I have a feeling that considering this was turned into a race war (with help from Barack Obama), this is far from over.

Give it a few days. Probably 95% of the people likely to riot haven't heard about it yet. It is saturday night afterall, so they are probably partying or whatnot and unaware.
"The Florida State Attorney's office has fired information technology director Ben Kruidbos, who raised concerns about how the prosecutors in the George Zimmerman trial turned over evidence to the defense.
According to Kruidbos' attorney Wesley White, the former IT director was let go Friday by the state's top prosecutor, Angela Corey, for allegedly violating "numerous State Attorney’s Office policies and procedures."
Kruidbos, who testified in a pretrial hearing in the Zimmerman case in June, said that he had reason to believe that additional information found in Trayvon Martin's cell phone had not been turned over to the defense. Kruidbos said more than 2,000 photos from the phone were not shown to defense attorneys, including pictures of underage naked girls, images showing piles of jewelry on Martin's bed and photos of Martin blowing smoke."

Frank Taaffe, a former neighborhood watch captain, told CNN's "Starting Point" that his house was in the process of being robbed on Feb. 2, but Zimmerman called Sanford police, who thwarted the robbery.
"My house was being robbed, and George on his nightly rounds watched this burglary in progress, called Sanford P.D., waited for them, and helped ensure that nothing bad happened to my house," Taaffe said. "And it's documented in the 911 call for February 2. That was my residence that George Zimmerman helped stop." Zimmerman shot and killed Martin on Feb. 26.
"Neighbor-hood, that's a great word," Taaffe said.
Taaffe said that "young black males" were the perpetrators in the attempted robbery of his home. "We had eight burglaries in our neighborhood all perpetrated by young black males in the 15 months prior to Trayvon being shot," Taaffe said. "It would have been nine."
Taaffe denied that he told the New York Times that burglaries were done by "Trayvon-like dudes with their pants down."
"I never said that," he said. "I never used that term."
But on CNN, Taaffe followed up the denial of an incendiary comment with another one.
When asked if, based on the string of robberies, Zimmerman should have been profiling Trayvon Martin the night of the shooting, Taaffe said: "There's an old saying, 'If you plant corn, you get corn,'"
"It is what it is," he added. "I would go on record by stating that of the eight prior burglaries in the 15 months prior to the Trayvon Martin shooting, all of the perpetrators were young black males."
Don't worry about what you can't change.
Do the best you can with what you have.
Be honest, even if it hurts.

Where is justice for George? His life has been turned upside down by some thug that was raised by parents who didn't teach him respect. If he hadn't turned into a violent miscreant who was hellbent on killing the guy for following him, Zimmerman wouldn't be having to pick up and move his life for fear of death.

Anyone wanna take bets on how long it takes?
Mine is Monday.
No bets here but the west coast is awake... I bet it kicks off there then washes east. Riot then sleep in

Great find
Can they bring up charges on Martin for burglary if evidence in those photos links him to the burglaries? How about with Child Pornography?
