Celebrities Disgusted by Zimmerman Verdict

Red Knuckle Politics  Language advisory.
"We all know by now the end result in the trial of George Zimmerman. He was acquitted by a jury of his peers on Saturday night, after 16 hours of deliberation for the death of Trayvon Martin that occurred back in February of 2012. The prosecution failed to show proof or provide any evidence that supported he acted in any other way other than in self-defense, but many in Hollywood and the sports and music world feel quite differently. Just take a look below at many of the super informed and intelligent celebrities and sports players on their take on the jury’s verdict."
Just one of many:

It makes me sick to my stomach that George Zimmerman was found not guilty.

So @rzimmermanjr has just pulled out of my show tonight because of my 'garbage' tweets about his brother. I stand by them all.

Michael Moore: Trayvon Martin had right to do anything to defend himself
Moore tweeted:

Had a gun-toting Trayvon Martin stalked an unarmed George Zimmerman, and then shot him to death... DO I EVEN NEED TO COMPLETE THIS SENTENCE?
You may enjoy the pushback he gets. Read on...

From Hope n' Change

 ...."So, what did the president have to say? That the death of Trayvon Martin was a "tragedy for America" (ergo, Zimmerman can't possibly have been in the right) and that "we should ask ourselves if we're doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities." Because asking ourselves meaningless questions about how wide our "compassion circles" are will really, really help bring down the number of bullet-riddled Black Americans turning up in Chicago's morgues."....
