Way too much here about Zimmerman, but perhaps something good can happen now?

If, as many maintain, Zimmerman is generally a good person, and not a racist, he has unfairly become a scapegoat. I give him the benefit of the doubt, but what happens now will be telling.

I hope he regrets what happened and wishes that he had let the police take care of it. Not just because of the trial he had to go through, but because he ended up killing a young person, and that can't feel good.

My advise to him would be to be public about that, and to become an advocate for racial harmony. It might help to relieve some of the animosity that has developed, for which the press is largely responsible, in my opinion. Thoughts?

    I more or less agree with you. Honestly he just made a stupid mistake that night, and then made an even more fatal decision in the heat of the moment. I would've said manslaughter, but oh well. The american Justice system has spoken. As you said, I hope he goes on to promote racial harmony.

    He'll be remembered as a guy who shot a child walking home from the candy store for cutting through the wrong neighborhood.

    Source(s): He'll probably get his own Fox News show he's such a conservative hero.

    Zimmerman isn't going to do that. He's just going to sink back into obscurity and the wingnuts will find a new cause to latch onto.

    Nice idea, but either way Zimmerman was toast, the Black Panthers wanted him dead from the beginning of this mess. They said themselves that they won't settle for anything but Zimmerman's death.

    We could start by showing the same compassion for innocent unborn children that liberals demand for Trayvon. Followed by rvery victim of murder. Like the black on bla ck murder

    Yes, it made it possible for me to kill some one in Florida, and say I was defending myself, if there is no witnesses.

    He should come out and say that it was wrong of him to think the gun made him a cop. You don't' see cops getting into situations like that.
