GZ defense team on The View right now.

One atty said "Use this as an opportunity to come together. There have to be some lessons to this."

Walters asks "What are they?"

Atty: "The jury made their decision based on the evidence in the case and that's not necessarily the basis of the opinions that people outside the case hold. We should maybe sort that out first, and use as a way we can all have a conversation that can mean something.

Dan Abrams is on and said what he finds least credible of GZ account is the idea that Trayvon was hiding in the bushes and jumped GZ out of nowhere....asked defense team why people find that hard to accept.

O'Mara said "Absolutely...I don't think GZ said it quite like that I what happened this was the intersection of 2 people, neither one of which knew what the other one was thinking or doing."

I'm recording it so will provide more of what was said.

He knows that Zimmerman murdered Trayvon in cold blood.

On edit: "neither one of which knew what the other one was thinking or doing." What a outrageous statement. I guess unless you are a certified mind reader that gives you the right to kill the other person.

I meant to record it.

I wanted to see Whoopie. I knew she'd ask the 'right' questions and put them on the spot. I saw a little.

at adult strangers who follow them and then get close enough to make them fear they'll be grabbed and harmed, or, did they teach their children to give in to adult strangers whatever they have in mind for them, because if they fight that adult stranger, the adult stranger in the state of Florida can shoot them and then blame that young person for their own death.

So, Mark and Don - what did you teach YOUR children to do?

teeth is because of fear that someone might hurt them. An opportunity to come together?? What a self-promoting POS.

I want to hear from people who understand injustice and inhumanity.
I want to hear from civil rights activists and those interested in
ending racism.

O'Mara said " GZ obviously looked at Trayvon Martin with a history of a lot of other burglaries in the neighborhood and said I call him suspicious, and did what he did based on that premise. TM looked at GZ following him and said I don't like this guy following me. " (Duh!) " Somehow, that happened for about 2 or 3 minutes; we know 1 thing that GZ did something for about a minute that's not on tape."

Whoopie asked them when TM was on top of GZ was he holding his arms (GZ)...asked why GZ wouldn't just hit him to get him off him instead of shooting him. Atty says "witness said TM was fighting him "MMA style" which position essentially renders person on the ground helpless. They have very, very few options."

Disgusting.
