No, this was a well-off township.

I’ve argued with several liberals about the Z case that I understand their frustration, but the chose the wrong case to make their point.

It made them, at the end of the day, look stupid and irrational.

So in other words, Martin first drew Zimmerman’s attention because of how he was acting under the circumstances, not because of his race.

Z was profiling BEHAVIOR, a logical thing to do after a string of burglaries.

Good post.

But, you know, the supporters of Trayvon have studiously avoided ALL of the known facts. You can approach the Zimmerman matter in a great number of ways and all of those ways point to Zimmerman’s innocence, Taryvon’s bad decision-making, and a justifiable shoot. The facts are in, and the matter is extemely cut-and-dried.

But the Trayvon supporters don’t care and will not look at any of that. A black guy got shot. It’s must be racism. Punish the guy who isn’t black. That’s it.

Okay. Well, you make a decent point with your story. Although you know that the small percentage of Black males committing crimes is ridiculously high. Something like 3% of the population committing almost 50% of all violent crimes.

It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.

Isn't that what Zimmerman proceeded to do once he was off the phone? He got out of his car and followed on foot? So how hard was it raining really?

The Saint Skittles saga has nothing to do with truth.

The Saint Skittles saga is an "under the radar" gun control propaganda operation being run out of the Department of Justus.

The minute the story hit the news Eric Holder sent a team of DOJ community agitators to Sanford to soften the place up.

Nobody cares about the truth here. This is an Alinsyite political operation from start to finish.

Black Americans trying to claim Zimmerman hunted down and shot Trayvon because he was black need to realize that sometimes the profile fits, and they need to get all of the facts of this case, not just those spoon-fed to them by the left-wing media and race hustlers seeking face time on TV.

Bump that. Look at this despicable graphic that Stephanapoulos is still using(!) ...

I would argue this one is just as fair and balanced ... wouldn't you Georgy?

He had a reason to be doing that. He was following someone acting suspiciously.

They need to honestly answer one simple question: If Z was "hunting", why is it that his firearm was only drawn when he was in danger of being killed or crippled? I'd have had mine out as soon as the thug reappeared.

What difference does it make, Hillary?

Do you seriously believe that people who don’t run in the rain are acting suspicious or are you just trolling?

The only relevant fact for the trayvonettes is that st. tray was black and GZ was white. Nothing else matters to them. (Except the bounty on GZ by the nbpp. Uh, is that equivalent to trying to hire a hit man?)

Maybe if law-abiding, middle class, functional American Blacks would actually rise up and denounce the feral and criminal Black underclass.....

....but no. It's all the Republicans' fault.

The numbers don't lie. In literally every election going back decades, Blacks vote for their liberal slavemasters upwards of 90% every time. Blacks blame all of their misfortunes on Republicans. Oh, and, one other thing:

American Blacks are among the most racist people on planet Earth. I say that with confidence and experience. I've been to many countries over the years.

Most people caught out in the rain without an umbrella are not lollygagging.

So, in a sense, Trayvon got killed because he didn’t have sense enough to get in out of the rain.

My daughter lives in Chester Springs. That’s a very nice area.

I’m betting that if the crime statistics were less disproportional

this “profiling” would cease, because it wouldn’t make sense.

As things are, “profiling” is just common sense.
