ALEC's Stand Yur ground law lets whites kill blacks and walk [W:823]

Because you are not understanding his point and how it relates to other posts on this thread.... or maybe you do? Huh?
This is humor. He knows his message is irrelevant or he doesn't. Pointing it out will get me bounced.
 
Well good for you--proud of ya......What do you think is coming? The only thing I see coming is a tornado--or two....

You are incapable of seeing the disaster in the works for the US. You will be one of those people who wondered what happend.
 
Talking points right off of the Hannity show....I can't waste my time with people like you who have this crap glued to their walls.....

Then you pass up your only opportunity to escape the fate that is coming our way. I wouldn't mind so much if your utopian dreams would ensnare and enslave only you and your Progressive-socialist-liberal-Marxist friends. Unfortunately it will take us all down.
 
If I have to explain it, you might as well be a friend of Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. Well if you look at the racist nonsense involved with the Zimmerman case, you would have noticed.


I like Al Sharpton and many people think that this is a very good time to have a national discussion about race relations in this country....
 
Except that it's not all speculation. There's one real eyewitness account, which you choose not to believe (fine). Then there physical evidence, a map, timeline, police interviews, etc. You are choosing not to believe any of it in favor of something you dreamed up in your head because it fits with your preconceived notions. I hope that you are NEVER called up for jury duty because the last thing you are interested in is justice.




That is "your" opinion as none of you gave credence to Rachel's testimony, which has the time line down to within a minute....

Yeah let's talk about why the Zimmerman case got this press but when two black thugs shoot a white baby in the face or 72 black on black murders happen in chicago these stories get little air time.

You really believe that crap don't you? That's a shame......

Excuse me, but the shooting of that baby was all over the news and social media.... Chicago has had gang related murders for the past 70 years...It is more prevalent now because lots of drug money is involved, but it still gets plenty of press coverage...

Is it a problem about race? Perhaps if teenagers could have better parenting guidance it might be a first step.

Maybe in passing as they happened but very little national coverage and cross talk on any where near the same level as the Zimmerman case.
 
You guys all have your conspiracy theories, don't you?
Wisdom dictates that eventually we all reap what we sow.

Don't worry about it. Perhaps when wisdom comes there will still be time for you to escape your fate. But probably not.

I do give credence to Rachel's testimony. Right up to the point where she started describing a fight that she couldn't see or hear. At that point, her testimony is worth much less than the physical evidence showing Martin on top of Zimmerman, leaning over him when he was shot, combined with the injuries to Zimmerman and lack thereof to Martin. Add to that Martin initially losing Zimmerman and then going back to find him near the place where he lost him to begin with. That spells assault, not a fist fight. It certainly doesn't show that Zimmerman started a fight.
 
Race and crime: Trayvon



Mr Zimmerman, who is Hispanic, chose to stalk Mr Martin, an unarmed black teenager, through the subdivision where they both were staying. In the altercation that ensued, he shot him dead. But the jurors—none of whom was black—accepted his claim that he was acting in self-defence. Mr Zimmerman is now free and can reclaim his gun.


Nothing has happened like the Los Angeles riots of 1992, when four police officers were acquitted after badly beating Rodney King, a black suspect in a car chase. Then, 53 people were killed, 2,000 were injured and $1 billion-worth of property was destroyed.



Eric Holder, the attorney-general, also criticised the “stand your ground” laws adopted by roughly half the states including Florida, which absolve those who fear grave injury or death from any obligation to retreat before shooting someone in self-defence. Although Mr Zimmerman did not invoke certain rights under Florida’s law, the judge did explain its basic outline to the jury. The law does not allow the instigator of a violent confrontation to claim self-defence, but Mr Zimmerman maintained that it was Mr Martin who had attacked him, not the other way around, and there were no witnesses to contradict him.




Happily, incidents such as Mr Martin’s death are becoming rarer. The number of killings in which “stand your ground” is invoked in Florida has fallen in recent years. Although blacks are more likely to be attacked by strangers (of any race) than whites, they are less than half as likely to be attacked as they were 20 years ago. The odds of being attacked correlate more with age and income than race. And only 10% of violent confrontations involve a gun.



That is little consolation to Mr Martin’s family, or the many frightened black parents in America. Mr Watson, the pastor from Sanford, says he would not have thought twice about whether it was safe for his children to walk to the store alone before the shooting. Now, he says with a sigh, he would never let them.
