Read more at Jacksonville.com: http://jacksonville.com/news/crime/...e-death-among-young-black-males#ixzz1pam8PEi0 It's not just the NYPD either--- http://sfbayview.com/2011/unnamed-young-black-man-killed-by-oakland-police/ so yes, I would say it happens disproportionately to young blacks. You'd have to be willfully ignorant to suggest otherwise. Travyon Martin is just another case of this sad trend.
I don't give a crap if the shooter was white. I don't give a crap that the victim was black. What I give a crap about is that a guy shot a kid with little to no reason to do so. The evidence supports the kid's side -- you can hear him screaming for help before the second, killing shot. The shooter sounded drunk on the 911 call. He sounded like he was looking for a reason to kill this kid. What I give a crap about is that this murderer never got arrested and is still free. He murdered a child and nothing has happened to him. Race doesn't matter. If this was a black guyshooting a white kid or a white guy shooting a white kid, the facts would be the same and my outrage would be the same. You can throw up all the straw man arguments you want and argue semantics just to be argumentative, but I don't see the facts of the case (911 calls, primarily) really being disputed here. The man deserves a long jail sentence. Period.
You mean aside from Trayvon Martin screaming for help before being silenced by a gunshot? Do you think he was screaming for help while assaulting Zimmerman? Really? It's like you want a video of the entire incident before you conclude anything; you'll be sorely disappointed if that's the kind of evidence you're waiting for. If audio tapes of the 911 calls isn't enough for you, I'm afraid nothing will be.
The main culprits here: Stand your ground George Zimmerman. But chase him down and then stand your ground. He doesn't need to flee if he catches up to Martin running away. Back to the old west!
It doesn't matter what happened between the confrontation and the shot. If the kid had physically attacked Zimmerman, that still wouldn't justify shooting him. Zimmerman initiated everything, if some guy followed me around i'd wanna kick his ass too. They may not be able to prove murder, but it is undeniable that he shot an unarmed kid that in no way posed a threat to his life or anyone elses.
but it does matter How did Zimmerman get a bloody nose? need to know what happened, as it is relevant to the self-defense claim
He followed, and then chased him, he can't use self defense. And you can't shoot a man for punching you. Much less when you initiated,
It's no point arguing/debating/discussing anything with Bigtexx and company. You see Bigtexx is a bigot and it doesn't matter whether or not a kid was murdered. As long as the white guy get away with it, he's cool. Why else would Bigtexx ask for MORE facts, even though the 911 tapes were just released that clearly stated that Zimmerman said the kid looked like he was on drugs or something and that "these people" always get away. Its FACT that Tray wasn't doing anything but walking home... FACT that Tray wasn't getting away with anything because he wasn’t doing anything in the first place. FACT that Zimmerman was told not to pursue but did anyway. Anyone with commonsense would know that Zimmerman was the instigator because he approached a innocence kid with racial profiling nonsense. You want FACTS? Here are some facts...you don't care about that kids life, you just want the white guy off because you Feel in heart the same way he felt night. You and Zimmerman share the same tendencies and the only reason you're in here defending his actions and trying to masquerade it as you're searching for "more" Facts is because you feel taking that kids life WAS justified. Facts? You don't care that "the black" was gunned down....Zimmerman just did what inevitably was going to happen anyway right? Why put Zimmerman in prison when Trayvon was gona get shot down in a year or so anyway? Bigots
you are a very impressionable and biased individual. If the facts are so "rock solid", then why hasn't Zimmerman been arrested? and Zimmerman looks hispanic to me, and was raised in a bi-racial household, so your whole racist white guy schtick appears off
This loser needs to be dropped off in 3rd ward with a "NWA" t-shirt and a hot spoon to defend himself. Nature will take it's course from there.
He hasn't been arrested because of the Yosemite Sam-esque Stand Your Ground Statute forced down the throats of the citizens of the south by the NRA and conservatives. I'm sure you'll continue to ignore my posts since you've been owned countless times.
Zimmerman should be charged here, but it appears the po-po didn't do their job. The police should not be correcting witnesses on what they heard. If they say the kid was squealing for help then that's what they should have written down. They've also ignored other witnesses trying to come forward, it just appears they are trying to cover their asses.
Right....because Zimmerman being white/Hispanic excludes him from racial profiling. Did he NOT Racial profile this KID????????? No, my schtick is right on about him AND you! The more you defend him, the more you tell on yourself. Bigots are a cowardly breed. Zimmerman wasn't arrested by that police department because it is full of racial profilers like yourself. They took his word because he was the white guy and defending himself from the evil black savage seemed justified to them. There was no reason to NOT believe his story because the only witness was dead. BUT since the only witness was DEAD and unarmed and a child and black and had a RIGHT to be there; something should had seem fishy. Nope...his word was good enough because his track record was squeaky clean. Who's counting the assault a few years on the cops or the 50+ calls to 911 that was bogus
So would you agree that there are many on here who are denouncing Zimmerman for potentially being racist in his actions, yet when Damion Laverne tosses out a racial slur, it's OK just to laugh it off? is that not the definition of hypocritical?
He had it out for this kid he was told by the 911 operator to stop following him that they were send the police he should have done as he was told.
