They believe that he used greater force than justified and was at least guilty of manslaughter.
Some protesters think that Zimmerman is a racist who profiled Trayvon . . . they want a civil rights violation suit brought against him.
In other words: "These people have contempt for the law, law enforcement, the judiciary and the justice system."
It ain't personal against Zim.
Some of the protesters are focused on such contempt, or at least dissatisfaction. Yes, that's what they're voicing. Others basically claim that they just want to see the laws reviewed and changed, as needed.
I have no way of knowing how many protesters have personal contempt for Zimmerman, vs. contempt for how he handled the situation (regardless of who he is or his race), vs. contempt for non-blacks as a whole, vs. contempt for...
Maybe, despite their words, every single one of them feels contempt for Zimmerman personally, Tiki. There is a sizable group freely expressing personal contempt for Zimmerman, so I don't know why anyone who felt that way would refrain.
I'll just continue to watch and listen with an interest in where it all goes. I have no interest in defending George Zimmerman against his detractors, nor joining those who wish him misery.
