While I will grant you that, I think more people need to take a trip to third world countries to see what poverty actually is. Even the poor are rich in most western nations, if you look at it globally.
Regardless of the place on earth, general human nature has not been more than temporarily changed anywhere.
Well, technically Martin is dead. Don't get much poorer than that.
Could be. I note that he's pleading insanity (which begs the question of why we're allowing lunatics to own guns). I suppose he could also plead self-defence, and claim that the boy "came at him." It's worked before.
the heat boss, the heat !!
now now...........
Agreed; and one can only stand the boot on the neck for so long.
The argument that "our poor" are rich by the standards of some third world country doesn't hold water.
Try telling that to unemployed migrant workers, or the working poor in Van.'s lower east side. - or Toronto.
Yet we want them to believe that, as the 1% would truly be in danger of they rise up.
You folks are RICH !!! suck it up.
oy
Wow that's a far cry from what was actually being said about the material wealth of our countries.
But, I suppose, if you support the notion that we should be shooting eachother over stuff, then you're gonna find any justification, right? (see, I can twist words too!)
knickers? Psh. What would you know about my knickers?
The point is, the statement about it being a rich country had to do with not killing one another over material goods, not with accepting our lot in life and bowing to 'the elite'.
I'm bracing myself for the sh*tstorm from the right wing about what a horrible, evil thug Darius Simmons was, and how he deserved it.
Time to also recognize that Martin also made 'the choice' to assault GZ.
At some point, you'll have to consider that element and factor it into the equation
He certainly could if that's what happened. If it didn't happen, I am sure the prosecution should easily be able to prove that and he will still be found guilty.
Nothing at all merci a Dieu.
"It's the heat" was a relevant comment IMHO. Extreme heat brings out the worst in people.
And you have nothing to say about who comments or not on any thread. Welcome to bitch to a mod if you like.

You're sure? Why are you sure? Do you have a list of witnesses the rest of us don't know about?
I did. It clearly shows Simmons raising his hands to Spooner in a threatening manner. Clear-cut case of self defence. Y'all can all go home now.
Besides, Simmons was a known criminal. That gave Spooner even more good reason to fear him.

What a horrible comment to make, you really do live in your ****ed up little world, don't you?

My own ****ed up little world? Why, should we all value property over people?
Seriously, this guy walked into the street and shot a kid dead, because someone had robbed him. Even if it was this kid.... that's f'ed up. How does that not infuriate you?
For a little bit of background.... I actually grew up being told 'don't lock the door, someone may need to get in while we're gone.' Where we lived was highly isolated, if someone wanted to come clean our home out, they'd have ample privacy to do it. When I pointed that out to dad, the reply was that if someone needed to get in to use the phone to call for help (we lived on the river and occasionally saw stranded boaters, injured quad riders, etc), their safety mattered way more than our stuff. So when I see articles like this, when I see laws in the US that allow shooting someone for setting foot on your property, it's hard not to feel that is HUGELY out of step with 'my own ****ed up little world'. And yes, I'm more than happy to live where I do, as '****ed up' as you may think it is. And I know PLENTY of people who are more than happy to as well.
