Facts do not matter to haters.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got them.
It foreshadowed an increase of the reporting of white police shooting blacks in self-defense, and portraying it as racism by the media.
BS.
The fact that prosecutors did not corroborate Wilson’s testimony against physical evidence supports the grand jury was convened to appease public outcry with no intention of ever taking this officer to trial.
As I recall in the MSM reports, the grand jury was not empaneled specifically to process the Wilson/Brown case, it was empaneled to review all cases brought before it. They just happen to catch this one, and had their term of service extended to be able to complete they case they caught.
I also recall reading in the MSM that blood evidence inside Officer Wilson's car shows Brown's blood, and also show evidence of bullet damage indicating that the gun was indeed discharged inside the vehicle. (Don't recall if any residue was collected inside the car.) Why would Mr. Brown have his hand where it could be creased in the manner it was, and the resulting blood spray be inside?
Is there a problem? I believe there is. There is enough to discuss without bring up points that are false to fact. No matter how much the speaker would like to wish away the inconvenient facts.
The bullets were racist.
Our place in this world was made possible by Plate Tectonics.
That is why we are where we are.
I would instead tender the idea that it is impossible to discuss racial issues without first stripping all the grievance bullshit away. Virtually every culture has owned slaves. Ours was the one that abolished the practice.
While there have been decidedly unfair practices in the past which held back individuals, the advancements of others since the abolishment of the institution of slavery has not been the result of that slavery, nor of those unfair practices. It has been the result of people who, through determination, inspiration, divine guidance and no small amount of luck and hard work who have pushed the boundaries of knowledge and innovation back to create the world we enjoy, where even the poor have devices which would have been considered wonders, marvels, or even witchcraft at the time of the abolition of slavery on these shores.
All partake of that advancement to some degree, all stand on the shoulders of those individuals accomplishments, right down to the computer on which the writer composed this reeking nonsense.
If individuals consistently fail to accomplish and achieve in this country, I would suggest that using events of the distant past as an excuse is a cultural phenomenon embraced by those of a particular culture, self-imposed, and will continue to be a burden as long as it is presented as the excuse for failure.
Every culture has suffered its wrongs in history. Those are a new starting point for the achievements of the future--but only if those of that culture are willing to achieve.
Very interesting.
Her account has Martin attacking Zimmerman in fear for his life, not Zimmerman attacking Martin as was the consensus liberal story. Apparently the facts of the case are slowly sinking in.
There are, I think, genuine problems with our present self-defense laws. Had Martin managed to kill Zimmerman during their fight, he might have had a decent case for self-defense himself.
Laws that allow whichever party survives to claim self-defense should be re-examined. There have been other cases of this type in Florida. Some of them involving black men killing white men “in self-defense.” Never made the news, of course.
Comes down to this: If two men get into a dispute, it escalates into a fight and one man dies, should the other be automatically entitled to claim self defense in cases where there was no obvious initiator of the dispute/fight? If you ever been there when a barfight starts, you’re aware not every dispute has a “perpetrator” and a “victim.”
This is, BTW, the rationale behind the unjustly much maligned on the right “duty to retreat” doctrine. This was not a liberal touchy-feely recent innovation. It goes back many centuries in common law. It was based on the common-sense idea that two men who get into a fight may both be guilty of assault. If self-defense is automatically available for the survivor to claim, he may face lesser penalties for killing a man than if he’d only injured him. Giving him a legal incentive to kill instead of wound. That’s messed up.
The Martin episode just inspired more thugs to develop serious attitude problems
Even Al Sharpton doesn't mangle the English language like that.
They keep screwing up by making it racist. There has been an increase in police homicides of citizens as an overall trend - those who make it all about race keep the real issues from being exposed.
Fixed it.
After the Michael Brown robbery, the theft of cigars and the assault on the clerk, one must reflect and wonder.
Did the felon that attempted murder on Mr Zimmerman pay for the skittles and tea? Did Trayvon rob the store?
Idiots like this write articles making the police look like they are hunting blacks who are not committing crimes. WHEN YOU COMITT A CRIME AND YOU KNOW IT YOU CAN BET YOUR A## YOU MAY GET KILLED! what part of this dont they understand. I was in a verizon store with my wife and a state trooper came in to shop, afterward I asked my wife what do you think would have happened to me if I tried to take this officers gun from his side? answer? you would be dead.
I stopped reading right here.
It is obvious the author has no acquaintance with the truth.
Saint Trayvon’s death foreshadowed nothing except an insane black establishment over-reaction and a promise of more anytime a black man is killed while beating down another, or committing a criminal act (as in felony).
Nothing more, nothing less. If they want to blame someone, blame a Democrat for fostering an entitlement system that breeds contempt for its masters. Blame a culture that HAS to endorse single mothers on welfare, absent fathers with pants akimbo, and a hatred for anyone that actually earns what they get paid.
I’ll start listening to these bozos when they start getting riled up about blacks murdering people in disproportional numbers.
