It's Watch!... Neighborhood Watch. Not shoot.

no justice, no peace

 

Do you have some sort of chart that plots the level civil unrest based upon the news delivered, and the race of the person hearing it?

 

No, but I have taken history classes before.

So, based on history, you'd expect African-Americans to be more likely to riot than other groups? Is this correct?

If we were to re-institute a military draft, would you peg the Irish as the most likely to respond by rioting, based on history?

 

No. I'm sorry. You are right. Everyone is treated the same in America, and we should expect everyone to act the exact same way because everyone is playing with the same set of rules.

If that was a blonde haired young man in a letterman's jacket, Zimmerman would have called the cops on him as well.

You are right. I am wrong.

 

What do Zimmerman's views on race -- which are unknown -- have to do with yours?

Your views are on the matter are repugnant.

 

Reuters looks into Zimmerman's background:

 

George Zimmerman: Unappreciated saint ... WHO STALKED AND SHOT A FUCKING BLACK KID.

 

The more you post the bigger bigot you become. You could have easily said that if Zimmerman walks people will riot, but instead you specificly said that
black people will riot. What makes you draw this conclusion? Are black people predisposed to riot?
Do you think that all Italians are in the Mafia?
Do you think that all Irish are drunks?

 

There's a lot of new reporting in this article.

It took hours for people to declare Zimmerman a racist, and a murderer. It took weeks for the Times to tell a fuller story of what happened that night, and months for Reuters to tell us more about Zimmrman.

These two paragraphs alone tell a very different story than the one we were first told.

Originally, Zimmerman was a kook who called 911 all the time. Well, then it turned out he didn't call as much as originally reported. And, now, we learn he wasn't the only one calling on a regular basis.

He was also portrayed as someone who eagerly sought out the position as "Watch Captain" -- a power hungry nut. This says he was asked to take the position.

That's very different.

I still don't know what happened that night, but it's pretty clear the original reporting was weak, and lazy. It played into stereotypes, and did not include the real reporting necessary to tell us who George Zimmerman was, and what may have motivated him that night.

Sorry I played along this long.

 

You should be. You outed yourself as a bigot for all to see. You better change your handle.
