R.I.P Trayvon

[greatesqueape]

dawg Don West is such a jabrownie

 

[bilboshmangins]

Again, do we have proof that Trayvon Martin didn't initiate a confrontation that night? Until than you can't say a young defenseless man.

Do we have proof that he did?!

do we have proof that he was shot and killed while unarmed, after being pursued by a vigilante?

Spoken like a TRUE racist.....just make sure for your next example you use black people instead of white people just to draw your example closer to life.

I know you're trolling for the attention you didn't receive as a child, but would you rather be shot or hit, and which one is the appropriate response in defending yourself from someone not armed?

And if you're walking down a street, and someone approaches you at night...what do you think they want? a cigarette?

Trayvon had a right to defend himself, not to be shot for doing it.

So the name calling begins? I have my opinions on things and so do you. But at this point, our attempt at an civilized adult conversation seems to have come to an abrupt end. Well, it was a pleasure having a discussion with you two and hope to discuss topics with you two in future threads. (most likely we'll disagree again!)

Seems to be a lot of new names posting in this thread right now that weren't watching and commenting about this trial from the beginning and don't know all the evidence and how weak the prosecutions case was. I'll be back in here again on Monday morning. Team Daytime 4 life!!!

It is not illegal to do what Zimmerman did.

Murder is illegal dispite what the jury decided.

Apparently you're racist if you agree with the verdict.

 

[bilboshmangins]

Here's all the proof you need

GZ: "hello, 911, there is a suspicious looking person walking around the neighborhood"

911 Dispatcher: "do not pursue!"

The situation should have never occurred. Zimmerman looked for a problem and got one. Hope he can sleep well.

It is not illegal to do what Zimmerman did.

????

did it lack common sense

 

[gllahone84]

This is a big part of our problem.
Not sure who you are, but I encourage you to rethink that statement.

No a big part of the problem is we're our own worse enemy...Dudes gonna rally for a week or so then it's back the regular program. So you're an advocate for segregation of all races?

Chad Johnson did more time for smacking his attorney in the butt. That is INSANE.

 

[tommyicerocking]

when will the price be set on old Georgie's head?

didn't The "New Black Panthers" already put a bounty on his head?

"AS A HARD WORKING BLACK MAN, I STAND WITH ZIMMERMAN. DOUBLE STANDARDS HAVE DESTROYED AMERICA FROM WITHIN AND THE BLACK COMMUNITY IS NO BETTER THAN JIM CROW WHEN IT COMES TO TERMS OF PREJUDICE. NO BLACK PERSON CARES WHEN ITS BLACK ON BLACK 24/7, BUT WHEN ITS ANOTHER RACE, ITS GAME ON. IM SAD TO SAY THIS, BUT BLACK PEOPLE AND MUSLIMS ARE PLAGUING THE EARTH IN TERMS OF DOUBLE STANDARDS."

Highest rated CNN comment.

alot of truth to that statement though

LOL yeah murder is illegal if you're not defending yourself. Which the jury decided. Let's not go blame any color other than black for the actions of one person.

I can't wait to move out of Florida.

yeah but legally the dispatcher has no authority... him not listening to the dispatcher isn't breaking a law

i agree he shouldn't have followed trayvon, but that's not enough to give dude murder

 

[RustyShackleford]

Apparently you're racist if you agree with the verdict.

If you agree from a legal standpoint based on Florida laws, the maybe no

If you try to rationalize Zimmerman's racism and go down the "well Trayvon should have done this or that....", then probably yes

This thread is obliterating a ton of e-friendships.

 

[bilboshmangins]

Apparently you're racist if you agree with the verdict.

all racists agree with the verdict

but

not all people who agree with the verdict are racist.

 

[jbuch2]

im a moron but ur the one justifying killing someone because he is a better fighter than u

So, you're telling me that if you're getting your behind beat, you wouldn't try to defend yourself by any means?

 

[rell826]

No one should be surprised by Robert Zimmerman's comments tonight. He is the brother of an unrepentant child killer.

 

[Magic33]

At the same time, if Zimmerman was proven guilty(which he could be, prosecution blew the case) that even with little evidence on both sides that you could be proven guilty based on only assumptions. It swings both ways.

I just think it's interesting that White on White, Black on Black, Latino on Latino murders and so on are never publicized, they just get a little blurp in the newspaper, but as soon as a White on Black, Black on White, and so on happen, America is captivated to bring justice to those. It's like, if you're killed by your own race, but as soon as some other color or race kills you, it will be deemed a race war, terrorism, "thug"ism or gang attacks.

America picks and chooses what they care about.

Is that not true though?

I think certain cases captivate America for a reason, be it Casey Anthony, Amanda Knox, OJ or this case. Some cases are bigger then someone killed another person.

Nobody would know about this case, if people didn't have to publicize it for Zimmerman to even be charged. He was free for a month and a half. He wasn't even drug tested afterwards. He was interviewed and sent home.

This would have been a faceless murder like all those others if it didn't become national.

 

[mr s j king]

Yeah because ALL White man are stuck in 1913. I must have told my neighbor to cut my lawn or I'm gonna lynch him? right? You can't be that stupid.
Keep those stereotypes in your head, and keep thinking that you're above all that.
I know you're trolling.

Nobody what's good bro.
You do realize hiding behind your keyboard isn't actually hiding right?

 

[tyonenine]

all racists agree with the verdict

but

not all people who agree with the verdict are racist.

Exactly

I couldn't watch the entire video

what was the price they set???

is it high enough to make it worth a flight to Floride

 

[thenewjs23]

A post I saw on my wall

"My thoughts on the trial. If you were on the jury and you voted guilty you would not of been doing your job. Im sorry but all the prosecution proved was that Zimmerman is an ******* which is not a crime. Their own witnesses said Martin was beating Zimmermans *** and saying he would kill him. Is Zimmerman an ******* and a wimp yes but the state did not prove he was a murderer. If you think otherwise you did not watch the trial and you do not have the fact. That is all I got on that".

The prosecutions witnesses said Trayvon was giving Zimmerman the business. He had the right to protect himself. I feel other means could have been used but Trayvon put Zimmerman in a situation that allowed him to use any means possible.

 

[dayman]

What you expect Meek?

Dude cannot believe what he's saying . . .

Zimmerman: my brother had the right to defend himself

Piers Morgan: Did Trayvon Martin have the right to defend himself?

Robert Zimmerman: From What Piers, Trayvon Martin had the right to go home

As if Trayvon Martin wasn't trying to do that in the first place when he left 7/11 . . . this wouldn't have happened if Zimmerman either minded his own damn business or called the cops if he was legit concerned

i gotta turn off the tv

if a 17 yr old kid knocked you down and he started banging your head against the concrete, would u shoot him with your gun?

You can't get to this point in the story without going over what happened leading up to it . . . Zimmerman should have never got out of the car to approach dude . . . he should have called the cops . . . for someone walking back from the gas station

. . . now once he's beating your ***, you fight this 17 year old kid with your MMA trained 29 year old hands . . . you don't shoot him in the chest . . .

he was on a neighborhood watch due to previous robberies in the neighborhood. If I was living in the neighborhood, I would thank him for volunteering to watch out for criminals. Would u be suspicious of a kid wearing a blk hoody in the middle of the night? I dont care what race the kid is, but if I see a kid wearing a hoody with previous reports of robberies in the neighborhood, I would keep an eye out on him. I dont wanna stay in the car and lose sight on where he went by waiting for the cops to show up. What if trayvon was one of the robbers who burglarized houses in the neighborhood and he ended up robbing a house or hurting an innocent person while waiting for the cops?

As for the attack, it doesn't matter if you're a trained mma fighter. If you get hit with one solid punch, u will get knocked down with loss of coordination. GZ might have been dazed by the attacks from Trayvon. In addition, trayvon grabbed GZ's head and banged it against the concrete floor with blood leaking out (as evidenced by multiple photos).

What if your mom, dad, brother was in GZ's position. Would u want them to shoot trayvon or risk of getting killed themselves? Answer truthfully.
