First local reaction . . . A columnist in the Orlando Sentinel says the jury got it right.

I prefer these two that he retweeted:
"If Zimmerman had shot a deer without a hunting license he would have received more punishment."
"If the guy who killed Trayvon Martin didn't really kill Trayvon Martin according to the law, who the F did?"

Michael Moore at his ignorant best.
No one said that George Zimmerman didnt kill Trayvon Martin ....not even the "law".
What a complete buffoon.

Hmmm, either someone missed this one, or its one of the best names ever.

Felterbush was in Orlando earlier in the day and came to the courthouse to offer an opposing view. "That wasn't to be had," he said. "There was 95% Trayvon supporters."

Meanwhile in Florida, a black woman who cited the "stand your ground" law after she fired warning shots at her allegedly abusive husband (against whom she had a restraining order) was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-...warning-shots/
Quote:
Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville had said the state's "Stand Your Ground" law should apply to her because she was defending herself against her allegedly abusive husband when she fired warning shots inside her home in August 2010. She told police it was to escape a brutal beating by her husband, against whom she had already taken out a protective order.
[...]
Under Florida's mandatory minimum sentencing requirements Alexander could receive a lesser sentence, even though she has never been in trouble with the law before. Judge Daniel said the law did not allow for extenuating or mitigating circumstances to reduce the sentence below the 20-year minimum.
[...]
She was recently denied a new trial after appealing to the judge to reconsider her case based on Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law. The law states that the victim of a crime does not have to attempt to run for safety and can immediately retaliate in self-defense.
Alexander's attorney said she was clearly defending herself and should not have to spend the next two decades behind bars.

Zimmerman never used stand your ground, so right there is a huge disconnect.
And this lady ran out of her house, got her gun from the glove compartment of her car and then went back to confront her husband. I don't see an issue with her being jailed at all.

Seriously?
She went to her car. Right there isn't a huge clue her life wasn't in jeopardy, you know when she could have just drove off?

Decided to take a look at the Zimmerman hashtag tweets on Twitter.
The Internet is an ugly place.

Alright come on. Forget about Zimmerman for 1 second. Are you honestly arguing that someone should be allowed to briskly walk to their car, grab their gun and then return to the house to confront someone, shoot their gun and not face persecution? Take a step back, and think for a second here without letting other feelings about Zimmerman get in the way. Do you honestly believe that was self-defense?

What a 3rd world country, where a blatant murderer walks free.

Well, I'd argue a 3rd world country would condemn him without a fair trial. Same conclusion though since that's what many Americans wanted anyways.

No I'm not, IMO there shouldn't be a gun in their car in the first place(another arguement),a guy carrying gun with a history of violence kills a teen in a alleged fight and gets nothing, one woman fears for her safety from a ###### husband(alleged),grabs a gun but doesn't hurt anyone gets 20 years in jail.
If you don't have a problem with that IMO you're totally F%^%ed in the head.
