Twitter exploded when the news that the jury came back with a verdict in the Zimmerman trial and they found George Zimmerman not guilty of second degree murder and not guilty on the lesser manslaughter charge.
The #NOJUSTICENOPEACE hashtag was created and the tweets re coming out a mile a minute.
Some examples of the anger include but are not limited to those still calling Zimmerman a murderer, despite the fact that he has been acquitted, to those unable to accept that a jury looked at the evidence and determined that Zimmerman acted in self-defense.
Of course this first one isn't calling for violence (wink, wink) no, just posting George Zimmerman's home address.
Then the Instagram photo is below, but I am whiting out the street address.
Now, why else post Zimmerman's home address if she is not calling for "violence?'
Is she stupid enough to believe Zimmerman will be heading straight home to wait for those that cannot accept justice was served to come lynch him?
Other tweets move along in the same vein, dozens showing up per minute on the #NOJUSTICENOPEACE hashtag.
Just a small sample below:
Celebrities are not helping matters much by encouraging the racial tensions by refusing to acknowledge that we have a justice system and trials, judges and juries for a reason, so evidence can be considered and emotions and opinions do not rule the day.A couple celebrity reactions, via Twitter, below:
I guess miss Nicki doesn't quite understand that once acquitted, Zimmerman is an innocent man and there was no "murder" involved. Maybe had she paid attention in school she would understand the court system.
It goes on and on, tempers are running high and while some might simply be venting, others like the person that posted Zimmerman's address, are deliberately trying to incite violence, which in the end, will help no one.Below is a video showing Zimmerman as the verdict was being read and as the jury was polled to verify that the not guilty was the verdict they agreed to.
