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

[Blake]

The suspensions don't look good for him. I think I'm safe to say that Trayvon was a thug .

I think it's safe to say you're an idiot.

The black code is about awareness, avoidance, and de-escalation. For example, Cosmic Cowboy says that if a black guy was to walk in his neighborhood, his neighbors would call the cops (but he wouldnt because he will be locked and loaded he says). A black kid being taught would understand that a simple stroll could get the cops on you because of black fear. Although he wasn't doing thing wrong, he cannot be angry about being treated like a criminal and give any reason for the cop to arrest you. Composure is a must. He will understand to try not to harbor resentment that people called the cops on him simply for being free in America because that is the way American life is for black people.

That's like .5 percent of the black code I posted lol.

Do you expect rebellious kids to listen? It seems pretty possible with the at ude kids often have, he could have said " this, I'm teaching homie a lesson."

sup homie? is this kid a thug/low life?



he was a senior at Farmington Central High School, had had at least two run-ins with police. Court records show he was pulled over on March 17 in nearby Farmington Hills and ticketed for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He later received a 93-day suspended sentence and was placed on 12 months' probation.

Hard to say with so few facts. How much e did they fond in his system?

[bobbyjoe]

is there a training course you are specifically referring to that he was supposed to take before he became a volunteer watchman?



Flimsy. There is no law or formal protocol that says he has to identify himself and keep his gun at home.



It's pure speculation that Z identifying himself would have changed the outcome.

Yes. When Zimmerman and his neighbors formed the watch, the Sanford Police came to train him and the other neighbors on protocol and best practices and what to do in different situations.

This happened a mere 2 months before the TM incident and it was covered by the Orlando Sentinel.

Also, there is actually a neighborhood watch manual that clearly says to not be armed when patrolling. A Sanford Police officer reaffirmed this point in the training that George attended. He cant plead ignorance and be taken seriously by anyone who's objective.

Wendy Dorival is Sanford's volunteer coordinator for the Police Department. She helped train Zimmerman. She stated that those involved in neighborhood-watch programs are supposed to be "the eyes and ears" for the police, "not a vigilante.” Specifically, she said, members "are not supposed to confront anyone. We get paid to get into harm’s way. You don’t do that. You just call them from the safety of your home or your vehicle." She added that carrying and using a gun on patrol violates protocols. Furthermore, the National Sheriffs’ Association, which sponsors the neighborhood-watch program nationwide, is 100% clear in its manual on this point as well: "Patrol members do not carry weapons," have no police power, and should “not attempt to apprehend a person committing a crime or to investigate a su ious activity.” Lastly, not following the guidelines can result in serious consequences: "Each member is liable as an individual for civil and criminal charges should he exceed his authority."

If I was on his defense team I would probably point out that he didn't leave the house to go on watch, he was going to the store.

Just sayin.

So far there is zero evidence Zimmerman tried to apprehend Martin.

if you got it, show it.

[CosmicCowboy]

BTW, the prosecutor already admitted they have no evidence that Zimmerman initiated the confrontation.

I personally think the guy is an asshole but I'm willing to bet the prosecutor can't prove murder 2.

, I'll spread it around with you es.

$50 to play. 1/1 odds. I will take all comers that are regular posters in this thread.

Kori holds the money.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

No one questions your vehemence but the betting bull is just machismo nonsense. I would also point out that it flies in the face of your claims of no obsession.

I do think that you picturing yourself on the defense team was a nice touch.
