I am just pointing out the serious bias of the media and even our president. If you want to bring attention stories driven by a racial agenda, then you have to do it for both sides. You can't have one kid being killed by a "racist" and not run the same agenda for black people committing senseless crimes on defenseless white people. One was shot in the back while jogging and the other was 88 years old and beaten to death. Both deaths were explained as having no motive. I'm not calling for them to serve more time than what is given by our judicial system, but you can't say one thing is a hate crime and not say the other is when the races are switched.

I agree.

but the fact that he went off to fight, put his life in harms way to defend the rights of the thugs that killed him really adds a little extra to this senseless murder.

But........you're letting the media sensationalize and whip you into a frenzy, just like they did with poor wittle inoocent Trayvon.... who just went to the store for some Skittles. (Of course, that's bullshite)

Wake up people. You are being manipulated.

Don't let the puppet media manipulate you and your emotions and use this Tragedy as a way to promote their employer, The State....and it's endless zillion dollar wars.....and it's empire.

You're all falling into the same old trap, imo.

I'd say it's a tad different here. Is there a reasonable assumption that the two teens who beat this guy were acting in self-defense? Some cases are a little easier to call than others. S'all I'm sayin'.

Not in a frenzy yet, but the fact that two young guys beat up on a 88 year old man really pisses me off. The fact that he's a vet makes it just that much worse. The media really doesn't have to sensationalize that too much to really tug at your heart strings.

I disagree the Zimmerman case was someone profiling someone who the cops told to leave alone, the situation escalated into a murder of a teenager. This situation is two thugs who were looking for an easy target to make a few bucks and I guess look cool. Both were senseless acts but I dont think race was the driving factor for the two teens just think they saw a defenseless old man... Just my two cents though.

And they beat him to death. Not that any murder is ok but being beaten to death sounds like a even more horrible way to die.

I wasn't there but from what i've read he saw a suspicous person in followed him. What made him suspicious I have no idea. He must have fit some type of profile of a suspicious person in Zimmerman's opinion or he would have never tailed the guy. Not sure if its a race thing or a baggy chlothes thing or whatever I wasn't there. All I know is I don't want to turn this to a race thread and im just stating my opinion. That the teens were thugs not racist imo.

They should be slowly beaten to death in front of their parents so they understand the scum they fostered. Televise it so that all thugs understand the consequences of their actions.

Hell, I wonder how many future veterans were aborted in clinics across the land of the "free" today.


Zero. If they were aborted, they're dead, and we don't have a zombie brigade for them to serve in, so there's no chance that they'll ever become veterans.

Exactly.

And I wonder what other types of potential has been wasted and snuffed out besides future military veterans...... through this barbaric practice...

Nope, the 911 operator asked Zimmerman what race Trayvon was. Zimmerman was just reporting a person he didn't recognize in a neighborhood that had had a lot of break-ins.

quote:


who the cops told to leave alone


Nope. A civilian 911 operator said that Zimmerman did not need to follow Trayvon. There was no instruction at all, let alone one to "leave him alone," and it didn't come from the police.

quote:

Nope. He was tried and acquitted, i.e., no murder as a matter of law.

Zimmerman was a wannabe cop who crossed paths with a wannabe street thug who was on his way home to mix up some "drank" ( a mix of codeine, skittles and grape or watermelon tea or soda - google "drank"). Zimmerman saved some lives by taking him out. Just my .02.

These punks are animals and need to be Zimmermaned!

He was a neighborhood watchman. Anyone not noticing suspicion, or profiling as liberals call it, are not in touch with reality.

By BLACK TEENAGERS. So sure, maybe he "profiled" if "profiling" means looking out for people who fit the description of known CRIMINALS.

Profiling is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT A-OKAY. Do you think cops are profiling when they get a description of a black guy dressed a particular way from a witness to a crime and then go out questioning anyone who might fit that "profile"?

DAMN STRAIGHT THEY ARE.
