i'm happy this is starting to gain more traction. i read an article over at MSNBC about Zimmerman's neighbor defending him, but I'm sorry...there is no defense. Guy needs to be put away for LIFE. even if it wasn't racially motivated-which it obviously was, no matter what they say-he obviously has something wrong with him if he shoots a defenseless teenager who is crying for help and tries to pass that off as "defense"

WTF Occupy?!

Anyhow, seeing all that support does something to my heart. I hope justice is served.

My heart is just breaking for his parents. I so admire their ability to go on like this and demand justice! What happened to their son is unconscionable and his murderer needs to be in jail now. I hope these protests continue to go on and that eventually justice is served.
