The Martin family is not releasing the name of girlfriend. So, neither the media nor Zimmerman can vet her testimony at this time.
If you read my whole post or a couple of posts before the original quote you wouldn't be confused of who is the one actually making deliveries. Spoilered due to length... Spoiler Gwayneco is a delivery guy who made a racial stereo type. Sjackson0 is a guy who wishes gwayneco becomes a victim of his own racial stereo type. Let's break down that sentence.... "let's all hope you're [here sjackson0 is referring to gwayneco, a self-proclaimed delivery guy] on MLK, [<- I added the missing comma] with the blacks [gwayneco has referred to African-Americans as "blacks" in a previous post, sjackson0 used it for gwayneco's familiarity], [<- added another missing comma] making deliveries [the deliveries would be made by gwayneco during his racial stereo type of the African-American community rioting because they don't know how to act civil in the event Zimmerman is set free]. Now with the correct punctuation... Now with gwayneco's name... Unless gwayneco is black, then no, no one said "the blacks would make deliveries", and that wouldn't even work because gwayneco is one person and "blacks" is plural.
The Rodney King verdict riots happened. I was merely wondering if, in another racially charged matter, that something similar would happen. I never said it was likely, but to act as though it could never happen again seems a bit silly. Feel free to call me a racist if you want. Whatever. I know what's in my heart. I'm not going waste time defending myself from idiotic charges.
Eh? She doesn't want her name released. That doesn't mean the defense won't be privy to the testimony. Got phone records for the call and the testimony is in the hands of the DOJ. Don't act like it's invalid.
The original post reported him as white and that's when bigtexxx started with his routine. The picture of him didn't emerge until later by which time bigtexxx was solidly behind whitey, err... whitey hispanic.
The one thing that really troubles me is how the family went after the police. I would be more sympathetic to their tactics if they had said something like this: "While we respect the police, and we do not think they are motivated by racial animus, we think they have missed some key facts and reached some erroneous conclusions. Therefore, we request that police continue investigating this matter."
Their tactics? LOL Their unarmed teenage kid was shot to death while walking home with a bag of skittles. The police department completely botched the investigation and didn't so much as arrest the guy. They should be outraged.
Zimmerman and Martin's race is completely irrelevant to me. And by the way -- I'm not defending anyone. Just raising questions that could cut through some of the preconceived bias that exists...
There's no opportunity for her testimony to be vetted contemporaneously. It's really at this time a drive by from the Martin family.
Didn't we just talk about this? Oh right... http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=215443&highlight=black I dominate your thoughts and your emotions.
Oh, I'm sorry. Due to a combination of you not following their dialog from the previous page and a lack of a couple of commas you claimed someone said and intended to say "the blacks would make deliveries", and I actually reworded it to what the original post said when referencing. I can already tell by your replies that this discussion has gone beyond the content of the original statement and more so about technicalities so whatever. If you want to keep believing someone said and intended to say some random statement about "blacks wanting to make deliveries of some unspecified goods or services" than more power to you.
What matters is that he wanted gwayneco to get beaten up by African-Americans. Whether he expressed that as them "making a delivery" (= possible figure of speech for beating him up, ever heard of "delivering a punch"?) or gwayneco being there, happening to make a delivery, and then getting beaten up - who cares.
Believe what you want then....I told you 40+ pages are a lot and if you just go back and read or look at my own explanation that was directed to you, you would get it, but who cares at this point. Thanks wallyj12....it's not that big of a deal to me bud. Sir Jackie, I'm black man....I wouldn't call my people "the black" I was referencing what bigtexxx said about 32pages ago.
I think race is being played too much on both sides of the argument. I would see the issue exactly the same way if both were Asian, or both were black, or both were white, or the shooter were black and the victim white. I understand why the race angle makes the case more interesting, but at the end of the day, the way I look at it based on the facts we know so far, we have one overzealous, possibly drunk, self-appointed "cop" who was running around with a gun and killed a young man who had done nothing wrong. That's a terrible tragedy. The evidence seems pretty clear to me. It is difficult to understand why the shooter is not in custody.
I still would like that....for the record. I'd like that very much please. As long as he thinks black people would riot if a verdict for Zimmerman would exonerate him from all charges, then yes...I'd like for him to be on MLK with a Confederate Flag tank top when it happens...making deliveries. He thinks a riot will happen, I would like for him to see it firsthand. If anyone believes a black people would riot if Zimmnerman isn't convicted; then I'd like for them to join gwayneco. He said that mess up repugnant ****, I’d like for him to roll in it Thanks
