    I agree with everything in your post (except that technically, I don't think it's a crime what the police did, but still wrong).

    I understand where the anger comes from, I just think some of you are going too far, and some of you are basically attributing statements to bigtexxx he didn't make.

    You mean me Sir Jackie??? Because I said he believes Zimmerman probably had just cause to shoot Trayvon? Is that what has you all riled up? Because I didn't find his exact quote even though there are 45+pages of him implying that?

    Or is it that i said Bigtexx needs to be mauled by a pack of baby lhasa apsos??

    You jumped to defend him, but a few post earlier he (bigtexxx) asked me if i wanted to fight him. Where was my aid Sir Jackie??

    lol

    No, I found the statement by vlaurelio worse than your factually incorrect statements - vlaurelio's statement that he thinks bigtexxx and gwayneco would do the same thing as Zimmerman in the same situation.

    Do you think that statement is ok?

    You're asking a guy that said I would like gwayneco to be in the middle of MLK with a confederate flag tank top while a riot he predicts happens.

    you seemed to have had no issue with him saying that he believes black people would riot if Zimmerman got off scot free. I'm starting to see a trend with you. You're not too concerned about the things they say to incite the anger....you're more concerned about the angry people, BUT if you would go back a actually read the entire thread, maybe you would get it. Or maybe....just maybe you are no better than them.

    It's a hypothetical question. Some people did riot after Rodney King. Whether it would happen again, I don't know. Are you sure it wouldn't happen?

    It wasn't a question numb nuts...he implied it. And it was inappropriate and insulting to me and many others. It's good to know you condone his views because you sure as hell don't condemn them. You can dance around it all you want with your next post.

    I hypothetical wish you are in the middle of that riot if it ever happens

    ATW, you're a smart guy but you weren't smart enough to stay out of this one. zimmerman shot a kid and he should be arraigned. to argue against this or to support those who do is asinine.

    I agree that he should be in jail.

    But do you think it's ok for people to say bigtexxx and gwayneco would do the same thing in the same situation as Zimmerman?

    because the say and imply that Zimmerman probably had just cause to shoot little trayvon, by that notion...if put in the same situation; Trayvon would be dead three times over

    truth.....the taste is and forever will be bitter.

    Question is...would you have done the same?

    I am saying in the past when local police and district attorney offices have been found guilty of wide spread corruption the FEDS have taken over. For all I know an investigation will find no wrong doing, but if the allegations are proven we are going to see quick and swift federal intervening action.

    that was one post. besides, i think he asked them if they would, given the same circumstances. anyway, i'm not gonna defend it either way. you should likewise not defend those two knuckleheads, let'em fight their own battles.

    didn't know germans were onion skinned

    keyword same situation.

    I asked gwayneco if he drives around his neighborhood armed with a gun looking for black teens. he said no. end of story

    i have yet to see bigtexxx's response to my question above

    if that's the worst you heard go ahead and report it

    What's the difference between them assuming biggtexxx and gwayneco would react the same way and what's the difference between them assuming the black community would react that way?

    The money will come from the police department, and other local and state agencies... They will get squat from Zimmerman because he is judgment proof.. Besides I don't think $$$$ is their concern right now.

    You fail at logic. None of the quoted material substantiate your position. Jackie is correct.

    ...and unfortunately many here fail at common sense....I hope Zimmerman pays for what he did and that trayvon's family finds closure. No one should ever lose their children like this. It really is a shame

    No, it isn't obvious that Texxx and gwayneco felt that way, and they never said what has been alleged. When someone pointed it out, the excuse was yes they did say it, then sensational statements or diversion was used, then last it was.. Well we all know what they meant.

    Texxx and Gwayneco have said horrendous things in the past, and honestly are in my personal opinion are useless people... But just because I dislike them does not make their point to not rush to judgment invalid.
