Trayvon Martin

[mrveggieman]

Yeah because if it had been a white, asian or latino guy, in a gated community that he was not from, in an area where there has been crime issues, walking around after dark, covering his head with a hood when he realized that he was being followed and then runing to try and get away from being followed. nobody would have thought anytnhing about it.

SMH at the silly notion that everything that happens to a black person is racially motivated.

Not everything but if some guy who is not black shots and kills a black child while making racial insults at him an educated person who be inclined to think that race may have played a part.

where were the racial insults? the dispatcher log does not have any and that is the only positive proof of anything right now

It has been well doccumented that Zimmerman called this child all sorts of names that I am not going to repeat on SCF. Feel free to google.

documented by whom? there is speculation, but if that is what we are to believe, then the world will end this year by bigfoot and the aliens who work for nesse, champ, and the chupucabre.

the only piece of evidence is the record of the 911 call, and there is not a racial slur on the transcript, but maybe if they play it backwards real slow, they can here them.

the fact is maybe he is a racist murderer, but you are ready to start casting stones without any real knowledge of it.

Let me guessed you haven't googled it yet have you?

[shrewsbury]

i did, but google does not have any factual evidence besides the dispatch log.

the interview with his dad? but we won't believe that because if he's a racist his dad must be?

the youtube clip that really isn't clear and anyone could here anything they want? now we are back to playing a record backwards, but that is how the mind works

when a forensic examiner clarifies the tape and the cellphone call is released, and when his and the teen house is searched for evidence, then i will be happy to call him a murdering racist who deserves the death penalty, in fact (and this is no bull) i would be happy to save the state money and put a single bullet in his head, free of charge. though killing is not part of my beliefs there is a time and place for it, and this would be one of them.

the worst part is, read some of the googled articles, their is speculation of everything, from a police coverup to racism, to how every black person better watch out cause some crazy racist will kill you.

As my man Afrank45 said we should stop using the murder of 1 child and the maming of another for our own political arguments and enjoyment. I'm going to let this child rest in peace and give the FBI a fair chance to do their job. You can join me here.

I'm going to paraphrase Chris Rock here:
"When you're really angry, you should be able to say anything that comes to mind without worrying about hurting the other person's feelings. For example, if you rear-end me and when I get out of my car you've only got one leg, I'm going to talk about the leg."

Now would that make him a bigot against amputees? No. He's angry and shouted the first thing that came to mind.

In this case, were they racist remarks? Absolutely. Does shouting that at the moment mean it was racially motivated? Not necessarily, though I will admit it's very easy to come to that conclusion and wouldn't surprise me to find out that it was.

Personally I find the idea of "hate crimes" kind of stupid. It's a nice idea, but it's at the point where it doesn't matter the actual motivation, just that the victim is black or gay or whatever. Before you mug someone you'd better make sure they're the same race, religion and sexual orientation as you or else it's a "hate" crime.

[shrewsbury]

he is resting in peace, us discussing it has no relevence to someone who is dead, in fact we are honoring his life by talking about him after he is gone. no one has blamed him, but i have said lets not blame ANYONE until we know the facts, which no one has as of yet.

and i still cannot find any racial slurs, someone please enlighten me. i don't want assumptions, or personal opinions but real facts.

the release of the cellphone records should clarify this

Another nitwit who jumped to conclusions as to the race of the shooter.

Bottom line is this twit is a wanna be cop. He took everything a little too seriously and if he was concerned he should have just called the cops and waited for them.

What you will PROBABLY find out that his claim of self defense is "true". He probably got his arse whooped by the kid and shot him.

There would have been no need for self defense if he had "Stood His Ground" and stayed in the car until the police came.

It because morons like the shooter that if someone breaks into MY house in Massachusetts and I don't do everything I can to get out and I end up killing the intruder I can and probably will be charged.
