We want an investigation, a trial and a hanging in one news cycle. We all bring our life's experiences and preconceived notions to the table....black and white.... but when they run headlong into the facts....it's not pretty. For example...I hear some "spokesman" for the family calling for Zimmerman's arrest...shouldn't they be instead calling for a full, fair, and thorough investigation instead? Maybe the presumption of innocence got left along the road in this case...we'll see.
What were you in prison for? What prison was it? Did you get along with the black dudes much?

I predict a big check for the victim's family in the future, similar to this story

Oh shit.............
Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?
Any time you shoot a stranger dead, a stranger that YOU followed in your car before provoking a confrontation, let's just say that where I live you'd be arrested until your guilt or innocence was decided by an immediate investigation.
Police typically don't investigate murders while the known assailant is still walking the streets free.
Can you imagine a Black guy 'patrolling' the streets of his neighborhood with a loaded 9 mm, stalking and confronting a White teenager because he 'looks' like a skinhead, shooting him dead and then claiming self-defense because the teenager fought back??
For the racially challenged, sometimes it helps to flip these scenarios to understand how outrageous it is that Zimmerman isn't in jail in lieu of a trial.
There aren't always two sides to every story.
It's just one side, the right one.

... or if he looked like a roadie for ZZ Top? ;-) lol
Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?
There is not a single piece of evidence to support the perpetatrator's claim of self defense. At the minimum, a first year law student could write a slam dunk indictment for involuntary manslaughter. There's motive (hate crime) and perp has admitted to causing the boy's death.
So why no charge and no arrest yet, given the incident happened last month?

LMFAO...Put it this way Leona, you would have never survived in the places I've been. I don't take your question as a serious one, but rather an attempt at an insult, but I'll take the high road....you reamin on the low...you're much more comfortable there. I told you once before.....in the military I had black dudes who would take a bullet for me, and me for them. That's a level of respect you'll never be able to grasp . You learn set race aside under the circumstances or you don't survive. When your only interaction with people of different races is spreading your ass cheeks...and then telling us how multi cultural and tolerant you are....it comes off as kinda foolish. And aren't you the one who told us you'd fuck black dudes ( aka take their coin) but never date them. Makes perfect sense to me ....LMAO When you think about it you're really not in a position to judge anyone now are you?

If somebody did that to one of my family members and got away with it, id kill them, period.

I can imagine lots of things . I can imagine some lacrosse players being vilified for weeks as rich white punks praying on a poor black chic.
Certain stories of race crimes ( or perceived race crimes) seem to ignite passion...when others don't. The white kid set afire because he was white doesn't seem get any traction despite how heinous it was... Let's face it...black on white crime, and black on black crime is so common, it's hardly newsworthy. We know what we know about this case from the media...yea the same media who convicted the Duke dudes. This unfortunately has now become a circus and when the race pimps jump in with both feet.....many white folks start to become a little more suspicious, and with good reason. I do find it ironic that blacks who many times the victims of shoddy police work, and premature arrests are now screaming for the same. Everyone's going to use this for their own agenda. The media will use it to hype ratings, the anti gun crowd is gearing up, the race hustlers, even political commentary I've seen somehow tying Mitt Romney to this. It's disgusting. We have a dead 17 year old kid and a broken hearted family and now the exploitation will take everyone's focus off of that. We've now entrenched ourselves so deeply in our positions that are largely based on partial, sketchy, yet troubling information released, that no matter what the outcome, it's sure to cut deep and wide.
Unfortunately the "right side" as you put it may not be as cut and dried and gift wrapped as you'd like......

I sense a great disturbance in the force. Childish comments from both sides. We should check the random numbers at the global conciousness project. The mind appears quantum in nature. Entanglement requires an almost perfect vacuum in a laboratory. But I can think about Andrea Ravel in Rome at the speed of thought (faster miles an hour now, road runner).
