A grown man racially profiled a 17 year old boy, while armed with a pistol, looking for trouble, approached and harrased a MINOR who was innocent and harming no one untill the adult offended the innocent boy, got his ass beat for it then murdered him.

Verizon lets the government listen to your calls, we let the airport security touch our balls, cameras and cops everywhere harrassing and getti ng away with it.

One boy stood against it alone and was murdered but some how is the distraction.

Your comment is a fine example of shallow and narrow vision mixed with desensitization.

The universe lobs a gimme to the revolution and the revolution whiffs hard.

These trial along with O.J., Michael Jackson, Lindsey Lohan etc etc are to get the masses attention away from the what is really going on. The stealing of the worlds wealth and the non stop drop to the bottom of the abyss. T.V. is the modern day coliseum. Foot ball and all sports are the gladiators and reality T.V. is the christian vs lion. We are being culled into a slumber as they steal our future and the future generation's wealth and freedom. Refuse to accept what they call truth and seek it for yourself. They are drawing your attention away from the truth.

Far from a hard ass just not completely blinded by emotion. You wanted to talk about the facts of the case until you were proven to not have watched the trial.

Then it becomes about changing the law and making a difference.

You wanted to talk about being kinder to your fellow man yet it is you who keeps resorting to insults.

The law has been abided by the surviving participate of the incident. It was not abides by the deceased.

If you want to get self defence laws changed that's good for you, but this isn't your platform or thread or medium to get it accomplished.

I never mentioned race.
In fact, it's hard to understand why white people had any reason to weigh in racially on the situation when it took place between two minority men. Racial profiling was a part of this situation. It's a fact that GZ profiled him. Profiling is not "racism" it's prejudice. Profiling happens for very sound reasons.
However, profiling is not what lead to GZ killing TM. GZ's bad judgment and course of action is. He had no intention of killing TM. He just wanted to keep his neighborhood safe, and he got over zealous. However, his good intentions should have never overshadowed the fact that he killed someone, in a situation that he provoked and caused.

You need to keep in mind, Zimmerman did not identify himself as neighborhood watch to Martin. He was stalking him without a word.
If someone is simply stalking and following you, you are going to make all kinds of assumptions.

Truth be told, this is exactly why my father taught me to make sure I was well-dressed and well-groomed whenever I went out. To avoid idiots like Zimmerman. As wrong as it is to profile someone, it happens. People judge a book by its cover, ALL the time. That's why we should always make sure we look presentable. If Martin was dressed like a street preacher or a Mormon, Zimmerman would have never profiled him incorrectly.

Doesn't change the fact, that Zimmerman took a life through a situation that he provoked, although well-intentioned. A murder conviction would be extreme, an involuntary manslaughter or aggravated manslaughter charge would have been appropriate, but an acquittal shows a total disregard for the life lost. That sets a dangerous precedent and can lead to all kinds of political problems... Anti-gun advocates can look at this and demand more govt arms regulations saying:
"If the gun wasn't there TM would have never went for it, and GZ would have never used it. No one would have got shot."
ALL sorts of worms have been let out because of this case.

Race is the smallest of them.

so you should be hanged for defending yourself? that's dumbassery right there... liberal biased media has gotten to you, theve never shown any facts about it

Gigatron.. What did you do -_-

I seriously thought it would have been locked by now...

Well just post. "STOP!"

Maybe you can reverse the spell!

4 minutes. TM had 4 minutes to run. He didn't. He turned to be a badass.

GZ gave him 4 minutes to make a decision before he fired the minimum number of shots to STOP the guy coming at him with his face hidden by a hoodie.

I'd of fired too at that point. Doesn't matter what color you are. I'm an equal opportunity gunslinger.

Oh please with that reverse psychology. This type of thread shouldn't even be allowed here because it's a platform to bring about racist remarks, met with hostility and just overall bad etiquette.

It's like discussing politics at work. You don't do that. Stupid OP. I hope murder taxis ruin his next 50 games

I once went hunting elk with my old man. While we were loading the buck onto the truck, he said to me

"Pup, you know what the difference between this dead animal and a dead human?"

Not knowing what to say, I said nothing.

"Nothing. There is no god damn difference. So you take care of yours."


Some believe that the minute you lay your hands on someone for what ever reason, you forfeit your life or value. whether latino or white guy from Texas who killed a black man. Guy probably would have walked on that basis.

"But how can that be? I persons life is not so cheap." Those are your own personal views. You will be surprised at how many feel different.

GO!

Why?

I want to see the world burn.

I think Zimmerman was right to be acquitted. Though if he had been accused of a lesser charge he should have been sentenced to community service... I'd recommend community watch.
