Justice Dept. Won’t Charge George Zimmerman in Trayvon Martin Killing

 

Any thoughts?  Or is everyone becoming jaded like me, and just don't care anymore.

[Adam]

Why charge him if you can't win?

[The Astonishing Crampsack]

Is he part of the new Dancing With The Stars lineup?

[arch stanton]

How did it take this long to decide that?

[Blarg]

They had the Oscars to watch and before that the Superbowl and before that...

 

 

They were busy.,

[wopphil]

I am surprised Obama didn't charge him criminally. He loves exerting his power wherever possible. I am sure if Zimmerman were a company, Obama would have found a way to run him out of business.

[Rico]

I get the feeling that it is only a matter of time before this dude does some other shit and gets himself locked up for good.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Time to burn down every city in America. Steal a 65-inch LCD TV in Trayvon's memory.

i just had a 2014 ALDS CJ Wilson flashback

You live in a strange world.

just another nut running around loose.

bigger elephant in the room is the total lack of a mental health system.

[Tank]

bad news i suppose for the family of almost obama's son.

[Spirit]

Have they started a civil trial yet?  This decision certainly won't help their cause. 

[Jason]

Without a doubt. Zimmerman is a douche

[Adam]

I look forward to the Zimmerman - Canseco boxing match

[Schildog]

would this not be double jeopardy? 

[floplag]

the funny part about this is that noone seemed to care about the "i hope he beat his ass: comments that were made...i guess thats acceptable

[HaloMagic]

If you are talking about the comment by the MSNBC host...She said she hoped he "whooped the shit" out of Zimmerman. Because Zimmerman intended to kill him. If some wannabe vigilante murders some young kid I too hope he at least got an ass whooping in the process. Zimmerman didn't have to do anything. Nothing illegal was happening. But because he's an idiot he escalated a situation that resulted in the death of a minor. If you rob a bank and someone dies you get charged with murder, even if you didn't kill them. Because the situation is a little more complex Zimmerman gets off. And I agree. But there is no question his idiocy resulted in the death of someone who didn't have to die. I don't feel bad for his ass-whooping.

I don't know about Florida, but California actual,y has a decent mental health system.

Certainly not perfect, there are a ton of quack psychiatrists out there, but if someone needs to seek help, they usually can find it

 remember the tax we (state of ca) voted in taxing rich guys to improve our mental health system?

it has taken in 18 billion dollars.

state of california can't find it. they have no idea what happened to it.

 but to address your statement our mental health system needs to be alot better. we need to to stop using the prison system as a default crazy guy catch all and provide some prevention and treatment that is meaningful and progressive and most importantly accessable to people of all economic status.(see cruel and unusual punishment)

don't belive me? try and schedule an appointment with a professional licenced therapist without insurance. or cash pay.

 in other states its alot worse. frequently thier courts just give the severely mentally ill a greyhound bus ticket to a large city in a neighboring state. i could elaborate but take it from me the system, or more accurately the lack of one, will over time get nothing but worse.

You don't know what you're talking about.

I hope the people at NBC who doctored the 911 recordings to turn this into a race issue get an ass whooping also.
