Trayvon Martin

Well put. For whatever reason (?), it appears that the board's African American posters seem to be the most hot under the collar. Perhaps due to their bias?

 

brah, you may need some time away from the computer. Shut her down for the night, take a few deep breaths, and free yourself from the emotional breakdown you're in the midst of. TIA

 

No...just due to you and your buddy gwayneco biases and total disregard for the life of that child. You bring your @ss in this thread with your typical, politically driven bullsh!t and never once said you felt bad about that kid being murdered until I quilted you into it 2 days ago. I told you that i didn't care if you were a bigot...just don't hide behind it. Don't say bigot **** and then when someone calls you a bigot, then you're wondering why someone called you that. You spent the first few days on this thread making this child's death a personal game where you see if you can win a debate and dominate someone's thoughts and emotions....wasn't the forum for that ****
Someone's child was shot dead and you could care less. Now you want to play the victim...people are picking on you!? GTFO

 

except none of that is true

I said the death was tragic

Asking for facts isn't "saying bigoted ****", as you put it.

You need to learn how to be more open minded about your initial biases not being correct. Also, you could gain from being less emotionally invested -- it clouds your judgment and causes you to cuss and hurl insults left and right.

 

This doesn't make any sense. lol

 

I'm pissed because this is personal for me.......I have a brother who is the same age and who also lives in a gated community. We have had issues with this before. Our neighbor called the cops on us once because our car broke down and we pulled into a vacant house to fix it. I guess he was intimidated by 3 black men looking under the hood of a car in broad daylight.

That is probably the kind of individual who would support stalking young black men around.

 

No calling thw victim "the black" and defending Zimmerman is enough to call you a bigot.

And you only said it was tragic after I made you do it. Go to hell

 

Nope

I've been referring to him as "African American" upon learning "black" isn't apparently PC. It wasn't intended to be a slur. You're clinging to that phrase desperately. And wrongly.

Now you on other hand -- wow, a lot of hateful insults coming from you. Throughout the entire thread, I haven't stooped to your level. I've been the bigger man.

 

Whatever...just stop it because you are comical right now. You said "the black" when you refered to trayvon and it wasn't an accident. Your problem is that you think you're smarter than everyone here but your just the local nincompoop.
The joke has been on you and it's an overall joke of your character that you would disrespect the death of this kid. I'm done.....you've dominated my thoughts and mind, soul, red soda water, greasy fingers and koolaid. You got it

 

based on the 911 calls, if the boy wasn't black, zimmerman won't even be following him because he wasn't "up to no good" or an "f***n c**n". so no dead boy, no news, no thread, no argument

 

Zimmerman made like 50 911 calls before. I doubt he only targeted black people. Racial slurs aside, it's a hypothetical question. The outcome might have been the same if the victim had been Hispanic or Asian or white. We don't know.

 

mfw all 50 911 calls are about black people

 

Is that Og Oggilby and J. Pinkerton Snoopington?

 

Trayvon Martin Killing: 911 Tape Reveals Possible Racial Slur by Neighborhood Watchman
http://gma.yahoo.com/trayvon-martin...eals-possible-racial-005007672--abc-news.html


The Florida police department handling the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teen by a self-appointed neighborhood watch leader admitted to ABC News tonight that investigators missed a possible racist remark by the shooter as he spoke to police dispatchers moments before the killing.

The admission comes a day after the Justice Department announced that it has launched an investigation of the slaying of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman last month as a possible hate crime.

On a tape of one of Zimmerman's 911 calls the night of the shooting, he is heard saying under his breath what sounds like "f**ing coons." Seconds later he confronted Martin and after a brief scuffle shot him dead.

Zimmerman claimed self defense, and was not charged with any crime.

It's the latest in a series of possible police missteps uncovered by ABC News.

The Sanford Police Department has come under withering criticism for failing to reach out to Martin's girlfriend, who was talking to the teen on his cell phone and heard the altercation with Zimmerman take place.

Among other issues, police have been criticized for:

Withholding a batch of telling 911 calls, including the one revealing Zimmerman's possible racist remark.

Sending a narcotics detective to the scene, instead of a homicide detective, as is typical for homicides.

And failing to administer a drug and alcohol test to Zimmerman that night, which homicide investigator Rod Wheeler called a "fatal flaw in the investigation."

"The fact that Mr. Zimmerman was not given a toxicology test or breathalyzer examination is huge. Very huge," Wheeler said. He also wondered why Zimmerman's vehicle was not investigated or impounded.

The Sanford Police Department says it stands by its investigation, and that it was not race or incompetence that prevented it from arresting Zimmerman but the law.

Martin had left his father's fiance's home to buy a pack of skittles at a convenience store. On the way back he called his 16-year-old girlfriend. She was on the phone with him as he told her about a man following him.

"He said this man was watching him," the girl recounted. "So he put his hoodie on, said he lost the man. I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast, I told him to run but he said was not going to run."

But the man would catch up to Trayvon, she recalled.

"Trayvon said, 'What are you following me for?' and the man said, 'What are you doing here?' Next thing I hear is somebody pushing and somebody push Trayvon, because the headset just fell," she said. "I called him again and he didn't answer the phone."

 

So the police are now admitting there are major flaws in their investigation....hmm

 

At best the police department is totally incompetent.

 

so what facts did he base his conclusion that the boy was "up to no good"

 

Zimmerman's dad~My son's not a racist, he didn't follow him.

Zimmerman: "F***in' coons."
911 Operator: "Are you following him?"
Zimmerman: "Yeah."

In less than 5 seconds the 911 tape blows that apart.
