Had a gun-toting Trayvon Martin stalked an unarmed George Zimmerman, and then shot him to death… DO I EVEN NEED TO COMPLETE THIS SENTENCE?

The Feds & local police departments will be closely monitoring social media. Your tweets can be used as evidence. Be careful #ZimmermanTrial

They might as well keep Zimmerman’s tracking device on him in case he goes missing in a few days.

Zimmerman was found not guilty? I don't care if it was self defense, you shouldn't be able to murder a child and walk away so easily

If you followed the trial, and saw the facts. Anyone can see Zimmerman was not guilty.

You can't get mad out the outcome of the case. You don't know what happened that night. Only Zimmerman does… Emotions don't trump facts.
