Correct.

I believe you have lost track due to the length of this thread that I said in the beginning that what happened is that two stupid people met on a dark night with predictable results.

The were both dumb as rocks.

but you most certainly can learn to keep your mouth shut in public so as to avoid the bad guy who is walking around with a chip on his shoulder just looking for someone to “dis” him so he can cut or shoot him.

So... you are OK with criminals running around illegally carrying guns who are just dying to shoot someone? When did yelling at speeding motorists who almost run over pets on a suburban street become 'dissing'?

Isn't this about the same as claiming that women who dress 'provocatively' DESERVE to be RAPED ?????

I see that I am going to have a problem discussing this with you because your logic is totally screwed up plus you have a comprehension problem.

I did not say that anything is “dissing” or that anyone “dissed” anyone..

It is what the person thinks that thinks you are “dissing” him that counts.

Whether you really dissed him or not, if he perceives that you did, then there is going to be trouble.

So nowhere did I say anyone dissed anyone. What I said was that there are those running around looking for someone to fight that dissed or offended them.

And the best way to avoid that misunderstanding is to keep your mouth shut when in the proximity of people you do not know.

Now read carefully and think before you post nonsense or I shall close this window.

OK. Let's say it was your neighborhood, and your daughter was crossing the street. Would you run inside the house and cower in fear ?

If you sped through my neighborhood, and I was outside, you'd get a ton of verbiage, and a request to back up and get out of your car.

We have two cases before us which clearly illustrate the dangers.

Neither of these cases occurred at 'night'.

Martin , HOWEVER, did approach Zimmerman, from behind, and confronted him (according to recorded statements).

WHY didn't Martin just STAY HOME ? Why is it that you don't say MARTIN had no business approaching a stranger at night?

I believe every word of it.

And you will eventually end up like Wendy or Zimmerman, depending on whether you live.

Every town in the US now has gangs, many of which are the MS-13. One day one will ride down your street. I guess you will stop that.

The older I get the more I realize that you can educate the ignorant but you can’t fix stupid.

There are a thousand of them for every bad or stupid cop.

Well.... that's the first ambiguous statistic that I agree with you on.

George Zimmerman called in a suspicious person report at 7:11 p.m. on February 26 saying he saw someone who looked like he was “up to no good.” The dispatcher asked the suspect’s race, and Zimmerman said he thought he looked like a black male. A Sanford police officer was dispatched to The Retreat at Twin Lakes and arrived at the residential community in Sanford, Fla., at 7:17 p.m. As the first officer arrived on the scene, he received another report from dispatch, this time of shots fired.


Please note that at that time of night, in Febrary, the entire east coast is very dark.

But this event and your post have absolutely nothing to do with anything being discussed here. Except that it makes the same point I made in my other post. That is that there are some things that we can not predict and probably can not avoid if we lead normal lives.

True. But I asked you what should he have done different.

But this event and your post have absolutely nothing to do with anything being discussed here.

True. All three involve blacks killing non-blacks for the stupidest of reasons, and completely against all known laws of the United States.

Except that it makes the same point I made in my other post.

Which,as you say, has nothing to do with anything being discussed here. ; )

That is that there are some things that we can not predict and probably can not avoid if we lead normal lives.

I would suggest you read that sentence again, to yourself, and think about what you mean by the word 'normal'. Does your version of 'normal' apply to everyone ?

Not hard to see why you just described them as "recorded" statements.

You are wasting my time.

You might perceive yourself as clever but that is a most laughable misconception.

Goodbye.

Being watched from a distance is not placing anyone in threat.

_____________________________

Agreed.

But, it is absolutely reasonable for any 17 year old who realizes that he is being followed by a stranger in a car, and runs, only to have the stranger get out of the car and keep coming after him to feel threatened.
