Some of these comments are horrifying. I don't care if Trayvon smoked all the pot in the world and had an IQ of 12. He didn't deserve to be murdered in his own back yard. Sometimes I love the internet, and sometimes it's really scary to think how all this social media has created a nasty invisibility cloak for us all

I wanted to throw up when I read about the verdict. It's appalling. I feel terrible for Rachel and for Trayvon's family. This poor girl was treated horribly during the trial. Everything about what happened is just sickening.

To sum this up - Trayvon Martin was found guilty of attempted murder at his own murder trial by a jury that included only George's peers.

I am disgusted by the fact that she is desperately, blatantly using this trial, and the death of that poor innocent boy, as an attempt for her to make millions of dollars with her "amazing tell-all story".

Shut up, Flanders.

NEVER NEVER NEVER HAVE SEX, even if you want to.

Aaryn's parents misspelled "Aryan" wrong.

Ugh, and so many ignorant Facebook postings about this. "It's too bad everyone has to bring racism into this." It's already in it! Nobody is injecting racism into anything that wasn't already about racism. Good God.

I can't fathom having such a disregard for human life that you would actually be excited and overjoyed that someone just got away with murder

Why do I know that whenever I see a picture of Ann Coulter than nothing good will follow?

I'm done. If this was a black guy in the EXACT same circumstances they'd...wait. he'd already be in jail on murder charges. Stand Your Ground given the racialized nature of Florida's politics and police is basically for whites only. Can you imagine any scenario in which a black man could stalk, harass, and shoot in

I'm a white woman, I'm not upset that people are angry at the power structure put into place by whites, because I know it's true. Don't you? Every white person, no matter how much they whine about being picked on, knows their skin color comes with advantages, for them, and for their children. And they know their kids

I'm a racist for pointing out my reality - one of which you don't want to believe because YOU DON"T HAVE TO! Quit with that "Oh, Obama's in office. So racism is over". Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State and sexism did not cease to exist or run rampant. Ask the women of Texas!

Only in America can a dead black boy go on trial for his own murder.

I saw that earlier today. I had to shut down the computer and walk away before I had a rage stroke. Like, how much of a prick do you have to be to make fun of women potentially dying because of lack of access to a legitimate medical procedure? And that's not even the worst part, check out his "apology":

Republicans & Conservatives- I see you think your values have been under attack, what with all of these coloreds and womenfolk getting all uppity with the political process. Keeping the harlots from killing their sin babies makes this a huge day for you and good ol' America, I'm sure. But take this gem of advice from

so, if I've got this right: women, menstruation, tampons and pads, feminine biology = bad. guns = good.

You know, can I just take a minute to throw some gratitude at the awesome male allies in the Texas Senate? There are certainly plenty of TX dude politicos trying to take away our rights, but folks like Sen. Watson have, I think, really been wonderful allies throughout this entire thing.

Yeah, that's exactly right.

What they're really saying is "I like it when women want to have sex with me, but I hate it when they remind me of their own sexual agency"
