The Uglyness that Awaits George Zimmerman’s Trial

   

*The Trayvon Martin case will now head to trial and the result of this case is one that has everyone anxious.

Will George Zimmerman go to jail?

Will he be freed after committing a murder?

No one knows, but one thing we do know is that it will be ugly.

Here’s an excerpt from an opinion piece from our partner over at NewsOne.

A new Ipsos/Reuters poll offers what looks to be an unfortunate preview of what lies ahead for the trial of George Zimmerman– particularly as it relates to how the population will potentially react.

Perhaps it’s not surprising to see that the attitudes towards Trayvon Martin’s fatal shooting are heavily divided along racial lines, but it’s not any less disheartening. The poll finds that 91 percent of Blacks believe Trayvon was killed unjustly. Yet, only 35 percent of whites feel that way. The online poll also revealed that 59 percent of Hispanics believed Martin was wrongly shot by Zimmerman.

    A horrible article a horrible title fit for a horrible vicious barbaric murdering monster, George Zimmerman! Along with that dumb look on Zimmerman’s face, it makes this article kind of comical though, parts of it reads like a script out of a Batman tv series. lol

    JUSTICE FOR TRYAVON MARTIN!!

    I believe our writings about the “apologize” article are the foundation of this article. It’s ugly and it will STAY that way until this man is sentenced. A boy lost his life because of what this man “thought.”

  4. When I first heard about this shooting, I had no idea that white people would be reacting to it like this. Although we don’t know exactly what happened when both men came face to face, you would expect most reasonable persons to be reluctant to give Zimmerman the benefit of the doubt, based on Trayvon’s screams and the now established fact that Zimmerman is lying about his injuries. The depraved mentality displayed by Zimmerman 911 call would also seem reason for winning him less supporters.

    Most blacks thought they pretty much had whites figured out, but this is really an eye opener into how the white man’s mind works. This reminds me of the Skip Gates case, where it was revealed that the vast majority of whites thought a black man in his own house, even after showing his id as proof that he lived there, had no right to question why a white police would continue to interrogate him like a street thug.

    Terry Keleher, Director of the Racial Justice Leadership Action Network at the Applied Research Center, which publishes the site Colorlines, said of the findings: “What’s most troubling about this is that the views of most whites seem to align closely with those of the Florida law enforcement establishment, which, by its actions and inaction, has been mostly sympathetic to the perspective and plight of a light-skinned armed and aggressive assailant than an unarmed and murdered black youth.”
