To me it points to who actually followed the case and who didnt and thus really have no clue what they are talking about

People follow the case to justify their own political views, and pull out whatever they see, in order to get what will justify their views.  The media feeds right into it. And, with the Internet playing its role, individuals fully get to create their own filter bubbles,

Well for me it was to get under my moms skin but immediatly upon looking into this case alarms started going off and I have read almost every police investigation report on the matter, the autopsy report and witness statements along with following the trial on tv. I did my own independant research. But I see what you mean.

And most other people didn't.  They went with whatever the bubble of their political tribe fed them.  Pretty much, in short, if you believe in guns (and self-defense to off threats with the gun) you sided with Zimmerman, thus conservative.  If you happened to end up being no so pro-gun, individualism, and believe that the African-American community has everyone else out for them, you sided with Travon Martin.  It didn't matter what the case was or whatever, just that is what the story was.  Like clockwork.  I would say over 80% of people determined guilt or not in the case based on their political views.  Even now, this is the case.  Look at the video being shown and the guy doing it.  OF COURSE, he comes down on one side, because it fits the political camp.  Doesn't matter the facts, OF COURSE, Whittle is going to say Zimmerman was 100% in the right.
