Where are the Zimmerman supporters now?

they one they confused the jury with in instruction.

You know the same one that put a Black woman in prison for firing a warning shot.

O wait yeah that one was because they DIDNT apply that same law to her case

Um... They didn't apply the "make my day" law on the Hispanic dude who was not convicted. Just an FYI, a "fact" so to speak.

The problem with idiots is they can't determine that when somebody says that "the evidence will not be enough to convict" they translate that into "I support this one guy" when it really means, "if you had more evidence he may be convicted".

thats completely irrelevent to my point. Why wasnt she afforded the same level of reasonabe doubt as Zimmy and why arent they defe ding her right to defend herself and how could they not be outraged at such a grossly dispropotionate sentence? Why is her case so different thar when Zimmy kills a black kid they reflexively jump to his aid but when a black woman fires a warning shot in self defense and hurts no one ther aer ok with a 20 year sentence?
 
Actually, the fact is that more blacks have benefited from the law than "whites"... (Although Zimmerman didn't benefit from it at all).

Who benefits from the law? Actually, since poor blacks who live in high-crime urban areas are the most likely victims of crime, they are also the ones who benefit the most from stand your ground laws. The laws make it easier for would-be victims to protect themselves when the police can't arrive fast enough. Therefore, rules that make self-defense more difficult disproportionately impact blacks.

Blacks make up 16.6 percent of Florida's population but account for 31 percent of the defendants invoking the stand your ground defense. Black defendants who invoke this statute are actually acquitted 8 percentage points more frequently than whites who use this very same defense.

By protecting the law when it was under fire they ensured it was there for her to call upon. Unfortunately the evidence of the case created a different conclusion. The reality is, by a higher percentage the people who benefit from it are black, it isn't the NRA that caused this ruling by the judge.

Again...your missing my point. Given the similarities why are they not publicly defendig this woman with the zeal and passion that they did for Zimmy?

Zimmerman's case was NOT a stand your ground case, you are comparing pizza with tires. First of all the NRA did not hire Zimm's attorney's nor pay for them. What more do you expect them to do for this woman other than protecting the existence of the law?

The reality is: Zimmerman's case and this woman's were entirely different. The main difference is, and we're repeating ourselves here, that Zimmerman DID NOT USE stand your ground.

In other words you dont believe race played a role here. This is the sort of shit that drives the black people I know crazy. That you can just passively accept this given that regions well documented reputation. You wont admit that something here just dont seem right?
