Your racism is nauseating.

Your racism is nauseating.

By all means, please elaborate. What makes me a racist in your eyes? I pointed out the truth of why this boy was killed?

Continuing the notion the guy who shot him was a racist simply because he's of a different race is, in itself, a display of racsim.

The ONLY facts we know:

shooter was a member of a neighborhood watch
tried to question/stop someone
there was a struggle
suspect got shot

Implying racism is foolish.

Never let the facts get in the way of your reconceptions, WS.

Question for you... Were you there?? This is more convoluted story than this "BLOG" has to say.. The story I read had the young man "visiting" a friends house NOT outside his dads house... I read off a news site NOT a blog.......

Sanford police Sergeant David Morgenstern said the department stands by its investigation but welcomes help from any outside agency. FBI agent David Couvertier said the agency has been in contact with Sanford police and is monitoring the case.

'We are committed to having somebody review this to see if we made a mistake,' said Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett. 'If we made missteps and there is something there, we will act accordingly'

Racism is the obvious reason this young boy was killed. The killer assumed since he was black that he was "suspicious".
The boy is heard begging for his life in the 9/11 call.
A bigot killed this good boy who lived feet away from the store. I hope they throw the book at him. It's more like a hate crime than anything else.

This was an innocent child who went to the store to buy junk food, (skittles and ice tea) and was killed by a paranoid trigger happy racist who stalked him.

This confirms you as a piece of shit racist.

NO ONE knows the entire story. Some ASSume it was solely based on racism.

This confirms you are a hotheaded name caller, incapable of debate, and a hypocrite. You don't follow the rules you ban others over.

WS - can you post ONE piece of proof that this kid was killed solely because he was black? ONE PIECE is all I ask for...

[Wind Song]

NO ONE knows the entire story. Some ASSume it was solely based on racism.

There were witnesses, there are multiple 911 calls and there is the cell phone call from the boy who was killed to his girlfriend.

Zimmerman admits to the 911 operator that he is following the boy and continues even after the operator tells him NOT to tail the boy. The boy is shot moments later.

It's obviously the poor guys karma that caught up with him. I wonder if we will ever know what he did to get such bad karma in the first place.

this is a sad story. Jeez .

The turks are right here, I find myself agreeing with these guys again.
This is a case where the kid was guilty of BBOB "being black on the street".
Many folks here won't buy it , for some reason it's hard to admit that when a lot a people see a young black male they automatically see a threat/criminal/lowlife and proceed to treat them as such until proven otherwise. this kid didn't get a chance to prove it.
Zimmerman,(head of the neighborhood watch) saw a black kid in his neighborhood and called 911. If he'd been white or asian would he have called? The cops told him to stay in the car and wait for the them. He didn't, he followed him for some time it appears, then confronted him, says he was threatened and then shot the kid in the chest.

At the very least this Zimmerman should be on trail for manslaughter, let the jury settle it.
I'd guess that if Zimmerman is a descent guy he feels like sh*t over this, even if he does have some racist issues.


2 past threads come to mind here.
one about the black men who raped tortured and killed the white couple, lots of outrage over the fact that it didn't make news here. One big difference here. those guys are going to prison. And no one and no race promotes or excuses that evil behavior.
here it looks like we've got an innocent killed becuase of the perception that black skin equals bad behavior.

the other thread is the one one about the got Ya TV show "what would you do".

they showed several cases where the situation was exactly the same and people reacted differently to black kids.
the one that surprised me most was when they had kids obviously doing wrong and others doing nothing. The black kids were taking a nap in a car in a park, they got cops called on them while at the same time not far off white kids who were vandalizing a car with paint were chortled at as rascals.

No need to get personal defensive about it if it's not you. hey Call it what you like, it is what it is.

POST the proof... Where are the witness statements that he killed him for no reason? The 911 call says nothing about killing someone because they were black, not the one I heard.

I want to add Rev that a lot of this is profiling.. IT WORKS, not only do the police profile "blacks" but the white kids in a bad neighborhood where they can get drugs are ALWAYS pulled over as well, the single guys in cars driving by hookers are pulled over as well, the list goes on, it depends on the area you're talking about as to what the police look for, so this "being black on the street" is crap and you know it!! Profiling is used everywhere (except by the TSA who are idiots for not doing it)!!!
