Trayvon Martin - black kid armed with skittles killed in "self-defense"

[Creepn]

I doubt this is true but, nonetheless, it seems to me to be a problem that can only be solved by the black community.

HA!!

You didn't hear about the elderly man being shot and killed by cops after he explained he didn't need police assistance and was told "I don't care Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_!" about 2 weeks ago?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

looking at all those calls............this guy has an axe to grind.

then i guess every security guard, neighborhood watch is guilty of that. i think that'd be called doing one's job tbh

[Viva Las Espuelas]

What does that have to do with anything? They were on the street.

then why

if you think someone is going to shoot you and you cannot get away the obvious choice is to fight.

what options do you have if your not cornered on a residential block and you have a fatass with a handgun in his waist?????

[Viva Las Espuelas]

of course I don't but it isn't a far fetched notion.

ah. i see we're "fetching" now. that's great.

[Yonivore]

with you being so concerned about race, what's the race percentages there? is this a "black" or "white" neighborhood? and i ask like that because you're framing it that way.

There was actually a DOJ study released last week that I'm trying to find.

I want to find the graph before I give actual number more but, the bottom line is the races kill people in their own race at an exponentially higher rate than they do people outside their race. Blacks were the highest. Blacks were also the highest when it came to interracial murders with blacks killing more non-blacks than any other race.

stop asking for links.

do you think zimmerman deserves jail time?

There are anecdotes of white people being wrongly shot by police.

What's your point?

You can be not cornered and still not be able to get away. Ranged weapons being what they are and all.

Is there any credible evidence when Zimmerman showed his weapon or whether it was in holstered at his waist?

What do you mean by "ranged weapon?"

[TheSkeptic]

What do you mean by "ranged weapon?"

...

[FuzzyLumpkins]

What do you mean by "ranged weapon?"

A weapon that can strike a target at range. In this case a gun. Other examples include howitzers and slings.

An atlatl is another favorite of mine.

[Yonivore]

do you think zimmerman deserves jail time?

If he's guilty of an offense that calls for imprisonment, absolutely.

[clambake]

wasn't his job. self appointed avenger.

[spursncowboys]

If he's guilty of an offense that calls for imprisonment, absolutely.

Do you think, regardless of his guilt, that he will be found guilty? Of second degree murder?

My point is Mr. Yoni, is that it happened way too much for blacks to feel comfortable enough to call police even for non-emergencies. Police have a history of unlawful conduct towards blacks and that is a fact, whether it's being profiled, beaten, harrassed or killed.

I'm not disputing that unlawful police actions happens to whites as well but please don't try to convince me that it's on the same scale to blacks.

[Wild Cobra]

So by the calls, he was OBVIOUSLY more su ious of black people than whites AND hispanics put together!

If you say so.

Now I will bet, that there is a pattern to who the su ious people were, buy location. remember, he lived three different places during the course of these calls.

Do you think it's possible that this last community he lived in was predominately black, or right next to predominately a black neighborhood?

I don't know if that is the case or not, but is it possible that the suspects later are reported a primarily black, because that is the majority of the neighborhood?

I suggest you reflect on your words if you don't know the answer to that.

[Wild Cobra]

The vast majority of black murder victims are murdered by other blacks...I think it's over 90%

But, the vast majority of white murder victims are murdered by other whites...also around 90%

That's at least similar to the reported statistics I heard.

Yoni apparently lives under a rock.

[TheSkeptic]

That would make sense though and it doesn't make it any less wrong...

[Wild Cobra]

What are the percentages of innocent black people being killed by police as opposed to whites?

Probably similar. Don't know. Do you?

[Wild Cobra]

Wild Cobra and others asked why didn't Martin call the police if he was scared and I explained to him that given the history with the police and black people, black people call the police as a measure of last resort. Whites can easily pick up the phone and report non-emergencies but it's not the same feeling for the black community.

And that is Zimmerman's fault.... How?

[Wild Cobra]

I'm also not quite understanding why you're attempting to conflate a shooting, committed by an Hispanic civilian against a Black civilian into a something about white cops and black victims of white cops.

I wonder if the liberals think we should be making this about border control? I wonder if they are flabbergasted that we aren't showing the racism they know we have for Hispanics?

[Wild Cobra]

then why

what options do you have if your not cornered on a residential block and you have a fatass with a handgun in his waist?????

Not just any handgun, but a handgun that's too small to secure in your waist.
