    True, but Team Martin was quite happy to cite Zimmerman's past legal problems - even though those events happened 6+ years ago. So, the Martin side can hardly complain about the push back.

    I've learned one thing from this:
















    Don't bring skittles to a gunfight.

    Making jokes about a kid that lost his life I hope you feel good about yourself. But the sad thing is you probably do.

    If the legal history has to do with either individual's history of being violent and overly aggressive and confrontational, there is some relevance as to who likely initiated and escalated the situation. Other allegations of nonviolent acts are not very relevant.

    What if he was on his way home from committing a crime, and actually assaulted Zimmerman?



    Actually this thread has made my head hurt. This thread should just end until the trial is over.

    Martin - 17 year old shooting victim on his way home from the store

    Zimmerman - Man who shot said 17 year old

    If you can't understand the difference, you are a bad person and I feel sorry for you.

    Blacks beat white man senseless, again in the name of Trayvon. Quote after the beating "now that's justice for Trayvon".

    The attacks are widening. Look at what has happened as a result of this episode. Savage, barbaric beatings...

    They are going after the wrong ethnic group, a hispanic killed Martin. Not a white guy.

    So you assume that the man beat himself, and that a angry black lynch mob didn't in fact do anything. That's rich.

    Surely you of all people would wait for more facts to arise on the case, right?

    so now jEXCLUSIVE and Lil Pun are both in the camp that this man beat himself. Outstanding detective work, chaps.

    I believe many blacks believe we're in an all-out race war at this point. Using "Trayvon" to justify violence has escalated.

    More and more I'm beginning to think texxx is getting some kind of sick, perverse pleasure in this whole episode.

    There is no 'race war' you should really stop it.

    Nice ASSumption. You ask for people to wait for more facts on one case and when called out for the same thing in another case you make blind accusations and assumptions. Hypocrite much?

    As I have said before several times in this thread, I have no problem with waiting for more facts. There should be nothing wrong with that at all. But when one or more of the people wanting more facts make such hypocritical statements, as those above, then it really is hard to defend their ideas because it shows their own bias, which is something else they've said is affecting everybody else.....but themselves.

    Why aren't you arguing for the arrest of those that beat this man? Or do you believe he beat himself up?

    Do you want to quickly sweep this incident under the rug, so it doesn't detract from Trayvon's cause?
