An article in the Tampa Bay Times wrote that, "on Twitter, people are outraged at Zimmerman and want justice, while on cable news and talk radio people are discussing the state's laws for self-defense and gun control and on blogs the focus has been on race."
Tampa Bay Timesis ilmunud artiklis sedastati, et "Twitteris on inimesed Zimmermani peale vihased ja tahavad õiglust, samas kui teleuudistes ja raadiosaadetes arutavad inimesed osariigi enesekaitse seaduste ja relvade kättesaadavuse teemade üle ja blogides keskendutakse rassile."
