In reply to the discussion: I wonder if the George Zimmerman jurors are proud of themselves this morning. [View all]Tommy_Carcetti
(43,153 posts)39. It's against DU TOS to call-out posters.
So I won't name names.
But a simple Google search from the height of the case reveals that there were in fact numerous people who did support Zimmerman's positions. And not all were MIRT'ed.
One has 2,811 posts to date. Another has 6,565. A third has 8,543. All three of those I mention are currently active DU posters.
So it wasn't just low post count trolls coming to his defense.

Hold the fuck on. You've accused me of being a Zimmerman defender without any evidence

Exactly, one of the things that made me angriest is how people treated Rachel Jeantel.

Most gun fanciers were worried they might pull a Zimmerman some day, hence they wanted him acquitted

The prosecution did a sloppy job but I still think the evidence supported a conviction.
