Justice for Trayvon??

[IrezumiKiss]

Doubtful.

You know?

Someone go bump that Sharpton/Jackson namedrop thread!

 

[jomar]

Zumi, they are playing for you...let it slide away into obscurity...let go and it will go, unless you want to keep it up...

 

[Boxlicker101]

Being that the incident above has nothing to do with race, why would you bring up Sharpton or Jackson?

First, how do you know it has nothing to do with race? Second, the Trayvon Martin case had has nothing to do with race until certain loudmouths, including the POTUS, interjected it.

 

[Boxlicker101]

Had the victim in the bus been black, Sharpton would be broadcasting now from the area.

Probably not, unless the attackers had been other than black.

Probably not even then.

The Martin case was about race from day one.

The Martin case was about race from day one.

And of course you're going to explain precisely why that is, right?

Ishmael

You cannot possibly be that ignorant.

The only reason you had any interest in this case was precisely because the shooter was white and the victim was black.

^^^^ This.

Plus we all know good and well that had the races been swapped Trayvon would have been arrested on the spot. The trial may or may not have found him innocent. Odds show it wouldn't but that's a different case entirely. The lack of an arrest was entirely racial.

However as Rob said you can't possibly be this stupid.

That makes you and Rub-Down_Sow both morons.

Apparently it escapes both of you imbeciles that Zimmerman WAS taken to jail that night. And was held for a considerable time while the forensics were investigated and statements taken. Norm Wolfinger, the States Attorney at the time determined that there was insufficient evidence to charge Zimmerman, so he was released. Wolfinger later determined that it was self-defense and no charges were filed, much to the relief of the tax-payers.

Then along come the race baiters. Political pressure is applied and Wolfinger recuses himself rather than cave to political witch hunters. A 'special' states attorney in appointed, she jumps on the political band wagon, Zimmerman is arrested and brought to trial.

The verdict merely punctuates the point that Wolfinger was right all along.

All of your mealy mouthed conjectures are just that, conjectures. Pipe dreams fomented in a very warped, and very ignorant, mind.

Yeah, sure, Mr. Ish. An unarmed teenager is lying on the grass, dead. They know who the shooter is, and they know which gun was fired.

No crime can be proved ? Let Mr. Wannabe go home? pffttttt

Nah. They're doing exactly what I want them to do, which is keeping it in the realm of bullshit and derp where it rightfully belongs. Every bump highlights to the rest of the world the evolution of what happens when basic bitch shitstains are given a voice to compensate for their general lack and impotency. So they'll keep it shining whenever they feel the struggle and I'm just the ferryman at the back of the boat, steering it steadily down the shit canal until it reaches its final destination...

derp.

You forgot to include the injuries sustained by the neighborhood watch captain. After seeing those and hearing what he had to say and reading the 911 transcripts and looking into whatever other evidence was available, the prosecutor decided the shooting was a matter of self-defense. Later, a jury exonerated Zimmerman, which was what the prosecutor expected all along. There should not have been an arrest or a trial.

Rather than just citing the first phrase, why not say what was actually said?

Once upon a time in this country, there were ugly, racist, tyrannical rules dictating where a black person could sit on a bus. There were all kinds of these laws, actually, created and defended by the racists who benefited from them.

What kick-started change was an average, everyday woman named Rosa Parks, who had grown tired of being tired. Hers was not the first protest, nor was it particularly the best. It was merely the tipping point for many Americans long since tired of these immoral laws.

Perhaps they didn't want to make Dems look too bad, since that was the party who passed all the laws being mentioned.

Because it is clearly stated in the article. If you think the bus case is about racism go ahead and prove your claim.

That opinion is stated in the article, but it is an opinion, rather than established fact.

You are the one who made the statement, so you should be the one to prove it, which is all I asked you to do. Personally, I think you are probably right, for reasons given. However, not everything is known about the assailants. Are they members of some black supremacist group, for instance? Not saying they are, just mentioning a possibility.

In the TM case, there is no indication originally that it was about race. Z followed a man he thought might be a prowler and called in to a non-emergency phone number to report it. Until asked by the operator, he made no mention of race and, even then, he was unsure because the man's face was covered and it was dark. In addition, Z's background has no indication of racism. I believe, but can't prove, he would have acted the same way even if he had known the unknown man to be white. He was just doing his job. As I said earlier, there was no racial component until certain race baiters, including the POTUS started shooting off their mouths.

You post is leaving me shaking my head in disgust.

I made no statement. I simply told you what the article said. The kid was jumped because he did the right thing and told the powers that be that kids were selling pot. Were you see race in that is confusing, so I asked you to explain, which you can't do because you're a trolling race baiter.

It's impossible for anyone to prove a negative. Since it's your claim that this was based on race, I'll give you a 2nd chance to prove it.

This is the statement you made and the question you subsequently asked in Post 5414. "Being that the incident above has nothing to do with race, why would you bring up Sharpton or Jackson?"

Again I ask, do you have any proof the incident had nothing to do with race, other than some other person's opinion? I believe the assault was very likely not racially motivated, but not all the facts are known, particularly about the assailants' backgrounds.

That time was only fifty years ago.
