I also read that somewhere. I hope it is true.

It really torqued me off that Trayvon Martin only became a child, after he was killed.

2) GZ did the World a favor by taking out a gold-teeth-wearing, pot-smoking, illegal-possession-of-a-firearm, thug. Good for him!! Maybe if that happened more often, people wouldn't be so quick to do crime because they'd be dead versus cycling in and out of the system as they commit crimes.

3) How come Obama didn't say that lady that was thrown down the stairs in NJ was like a daughter to him? Was it because she was white and the guy doing it was black? How come that crime didn't get the press it deserved? Unlike GZ and TM, that incident was actually caught on video of some thug assaulting someone.

4) If GZ was found guilty, you wouldn't see white people rioting over it now would ya?


Really? That's cold man....it was not a "favor" for anyone to be killed.


No sympathy for thugs, gangsta, criminals, pedophiles or other such ilk from me.


What lead you to the conclusion that TM was a "thug" and deserved to be killed? Was it the gold teeth? The weed habit? How do you even know the handgun is illegal? You're a piece of work.

Florida does have a law that states he cannot be criminally or civilly charged if found not guilty of a self defense shooting.

This country is getting out of hand. As well as the whole racism bit. Black people are probably the most racist of any demographic. Look at this case. Even though the shooter was Hispanic, the media called him a White Hispanic or self proclaimed Hispanic. To me this is BS. Whenever something bad happens to a black person, it's AUTOMATICALLY racism. I'm wondering when this is going to stop. As for the rioting. Why is it only Black people that riot?
Also, this Civil Rights Violation charge that's coming. That could set a pretty bad precedent in court for anyone that defends themselves against a Black person. We need to get away from giving people racial labels. If there were no racial labels in this case there would be no rioting or worry. This case wouldn't even have been tried.
That's my 2 cents.

Obama the media WHORE just couldn't let justice be served without putting his anti gun twist on it.. He makes me sick.
To those that will protest or riot, justice has been served, just not on the plate you care for. To the lawyers that turned this into to a race issue, you're lower than whale crap! :evil:

You just gave people "racial labels" at least 4 times in less then 2 paragraphs. Did you bump your head or something?

MSNBC was talking about it today. Apparently you can sue for wrongful death, but Somewhere in that "stand your ground law" there is language put that states that if you sue for wrongful death and loose, you pay for the defendants attorney's fees and lost wages. They were crying about the fact that if TMs family sued GZ for wrongful death, and lost, they would have to ultimately pay their son's killer. Huh, kinda like a check and balance one the whole sue happy court system. Maybe, if they feel there isnt a strong enough case.... They should leave it alone?

Ok. You win. Travyon was a fine upstanding individual who was wronged by an evil man. I'm sure the weed wasn't his, the gun wasn't illegal, the gold teeth were fake, his friends are very intelligent like the one that took the stand. There's no justice for Trayvon. He was just a misjudged child. Oh the horror......think of the children.

Better?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Are you even a real person or just a troll? Seriously dude.....I asked a valid question and you come back with another low level answer. Just anwser the question. How do you know he had an illegal gun? What makes him a "Thug" in your mind that made it advantageous for our society to have him killed? (and what is a Thug?)
