I imagine nearly everyone would be pissed about this - except perhaps the murderers. Still, an emphasis was put on their race in the thread title rather than just the crime. The racial aspect should just be ignored. "Two teens beat to death 89 Year old WW2 Veteran" would have gotten the point across without saying anything about race. By and large the elderly havent been well treated for a long time. This is just an extreme example of that.

The same should have been true with the death of Travis Martin. Equal but opposite.

Wait a minute. Was Trayvon armed? I haven't read that.
No, he wasn't. Being armed isn't the standard for deadly force in self-defence. The standard is that the person using the deadly force must be in reasonable fear of imminent death or serious bodily harm.

I'm not going to assist you in launching another round of Martin/Zimmerman. Here's what happened.

1. Zimmerman was a complete asswit, which is not illegal.

2. Martin assaulted Zimmerman, which is illegal.

3. Zimmerman shot Martin.

4. A jury found that Zimmerman's shooting was legitimate self defence.

Agreed. Given he was killed by a member of another racial minority I was surprised race became such a big issue on that case.

Well the name sounded white so the racists rushed to Florida. When they found out he was actually Hispanic they just called him white because they were already in deep.

I am not oppressed. I am alone...completely alone. Consequently, I am hostile to the New Amerika. It's no longer my country.

**** the usa. Not my country. Rather, it is my enemy. Death to america.

Oh ****ing wah! Either drown in your own puddle of piss and moan or go live somewhere else then.

Y^uh big ****ing cry baby.

Well, to be fair, it would be relatively hard for Locutus to promote his agenda without mentioning the race of the perpetrators. His target audience ain't real bright, and pretty much needs to be led by the hand.

What would your response and the medias been had it been a black war veteran killed by two white teens? Locutus points are made to make people understand that you sure as hell cannot defeat racism by siding with only one group forever.
To make the assumption that his supposed "target audience" is not too bright gives us some info about your own place in the world.

That whole story was a convincing argument for gun control. Having someone like Zimmerman walking around with a loaded gun was obviously not a good idea. I'll get out of this topic before Colpy arrives with a shotgun...:lol:

I don't speak for "the media." Is Rush Limbaugh part of "the media?" Glenn Beck? Fox?

And my response would be the same as it was when James Byrd was dragged to death behind a pickup truck in Texas. To wit "Hang 'em."

And Locutus' points are made to promote and encourage anti-black racism. And his target audience, those who are susceptible to racism, are not too bright, because racism is, by definition, imbecility.

It just gets some people mad, when people will not play their silly games their way.....hence the racist tag....

Don't be mad bucko. The truth is in the headline. If I really wanted to make someone mad I might have said that a white guy was killed. Give your pointy head a shake. :lol:

Oh, dear. Are we in for another collection of "U mad bro" memes?

To be clear, I'm not mad. I'm just calling it like it is.

The truth is in your choices. Those with the wit to see it will see it. Those who don't see it presumably don't have the wit. The world is full of stupid people. It's what you and yours have thriven on from time immemorial.

What's your agenda on this?

Trayvon, but thanks for playing. And he wasn't murdered. He was shot in self-defence.

Funny to see you defend Zimmerman on this.

Yeah, ok. :lol:

There. You said your piece, I said mine. Deal the cards.

What's your agenda on this?
Asked and answered.

I'm not defending Zimmerman. Calling him an "asswit" is not exactly likely to get me nominated for President of the George Zimmerman Fan Club. I'm reciting the facts of the case as best they are known and applying the law.
