Lets be honest, what affect has the verdict had on you?

[Wildin]

I already stated in another thread that the reinforcement of the value of black people's life, my life being worth nothing is a disappointment. It's not so much a disappointment as it just hurts.

I'm fukked up for real. I learned nothin new. I didn't feel I was emotionally attached but I just hopped in my car and drove around. Stopped and copped some newports and I don't even smoke.

I broke down, tears streamed down my face for the first time in years. I've gotten more comfort from stepping on pieces of broken glass than I'm supposed to feel from the ethical and moral intention of the American justice system.

I didn't know what I cared so much about regarding this case. I don't think it's the case itself as much as it is that parents have to bury their kid and don't get an apology or any empathy. I'm not saying zimmerman should have gotten the death penalty or extensive jail time but damn. If I get killed tomorrow would they even open a case? If I went missing would they even look? Maybe it's not their responsibility maybe it's my family and friends...i dont know yall. I don't even know

Calm.......times like these brings about rapid high-emotional responses, you end up saying or maybe even doing things you either shouldn't or wouldn't normally do.

I try to stay at peace, no matter what.

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

It's an empty feeling.

Can I ask how you do it though? I'm one of the calmest nikkas in the world. Not cold but calm. I'm trained in crisis intervention. I feel I would have felt someway about this one way or another. Probably the same because it's closure for the family and I empathize with them. I'm human. It sucks a lot of the time, I'm not angry or scared or sad, disappointed just hurt.

My friend,

anyone with legal training would know that Zimmerman would likely be found innocent based on the facts.

The true evil in this case and with many cases like these is the initial racial profiling which brings forth the tragedy or the injustice.

Racial profiling is basically constitutionally permitted says the U.S. Supreme Court.

I am satisfied that this case was brought forward to a jury trial so the nation sees the evils of racial profiling.

An unarmed kid on his cell phone with skittles and iced tea in his hand running home to catch the NBA All Star game is racially profiled by a strange man who racially profiled him to be a criminal. To me Trayvon did not die in vain.

Also the stand your ground law is a law that could be abused, it is a justification to use deadly force in public for any reason... the law is way too broad. I am happy the nation can see the evils of this law as well.

No one's ever asked me, I'll have to give it some thought.......

 

[Blankthawtz]

in a month this will be forgotten and another nikka will get murked and that will be the new thing to tweet about....

 

[How Sway?]

Hate to say it but people are going to go back to their normal lives of partying, and rachetness after this dies down in a few days. Even if there is a riot, aint sh!t gonna change.

Black people will continue being the laughing stock of the country

Sad but true

 

[Born2BKing]

I would say something but I may be called a black militant by the coli nikkas who date white girls, have white friends and think white people are their friends.

 

[Another Man]

Let's just say this.

Where I live, Im surrounded by whites.


I got really loud and aggressive.


My neighbors said nothing and wouldnt even make eye contact when I stepped out.

 

[FaTaL]

we are talking about a state that let casey anthony off

i didnt expect anything

 

[Ego Noir]

TBH I felt nothing. im kind of used to this. Living in NY the number of police brutality cases that come and go, i guess im conditioned to it.

Riot, no. but I do have a feeling within me that to never trust this "system" nor to put my justice in hands of any man. Let alone a system who upholds nothing but the cause of the elect. But to carve mine own.
