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

Did I say anything of the kind? I certainly didn't call it murder.

The burden of proof is on the State, and they never presented a likely scenario, let alone proof of what happened. They couldn't even decide if it was 2nd degree murder, manslaughter, or child abuse.

If they couldn't come up with a plausible scenario, how is the jury supposed to convict him?

 

Good post Captain Emotional.

 

White liberals trying to show how much empathy and concern they have, and thus prove that they are better people than the rest of us.

Town Hall meeting in Chicago, and wearing your hoodies up in a Manhattan Church:

 

That an innocent man doesn't go to prison despite the race-baiters' massive attempt is a victory for justice. Pierce and nearly everyone else on the left did all they could to hide and ignore facts -- even going so far as calling Zimmerman "white" when he's hispanic -- because they were much more interested in a cause than in justice.

It's sad that Trayvon is dead. But he's not being honored by all those using him as a pawn. And, again, the same people who are using Trayvon as a pawn won't give a rip about the 20 or so kids shot in Chicago this past week. Why?

 

MSNBC is going to milk this verdict for years. Luke Russert and Chris Matthews wil be the only straight white men on that network by the end of the year.

 

Because it lowers the standard to a level that makes it far too easy to claim. It's been pushed to ludicrous bounds in Florida.

From the TB Times

"Each individual on each side of the exchange of gunfire can claim self-defense," Leon County Circuit Judge Terry P. Lewis wrote in 2010, saying it "could conceivably result in all persons who exchanged gunfire on a public street being immune from prosecution."

Strikes me as something worth getting slightly worked up over.

 

Sorry, don't see Tony using the words "winning side" in there.

Doesn't change the fact Pierce - along with being a pretty good writer - is a race-baiting piece of shit.

 

Uh, Zimmerman didn't "murder" anybody. "Murder" by definition implies premeditation, which was not in play here.

Words mean things dipshit.

 

What does one thing have to do with the other?

 

People are talking about the incident in Sanford as though it's part of some larger problem? Is it?

That's my question.

We read about African-American parents having to have "The Talk" with their kids:

http://articles.latimes.com/2012/apr/07/local/la-me-black-youth-20120407

Is this really the biggest threat to safety in their community?

Would having a "talk" about how destructive the notion of "stop snitching" is be more productive?

Wouldn't a hundred different topics be more worthy of the time and attention of African-American parents and children?

Is the greatest fear an African-American parent has is that a white (Hispanic) "wanna be" cop, vigilante will gun him down (after calling the police and asking them to send a squad car)?

 

Even Trayvon's father wasn't concerned about his son getting shot in his girlfriend's neighborhood. He went to bed without even looking for him, even though he had been gone for hours, while running a 30 minute errand.

Tracy Martin's fear was that his son had gotten into trouble, and had been arrested, not that he had been killed.

 

It's amazing how many people want to focus on Problem No. 987. Even more amazing: they wonder why problems 1-986 that they ignore don't get solved.
