    I'm half tanked on some good port right now, and haven't been following this at all, because frankly, doesn't matter to me.
    But, as a big picture take on the country, it is a sad state we live in that the media and country is taken up on this.

    Race relations still have a far way to go, but this does not help or hurt the cause. Instead, the media, both sides, just make their typical arguments to fit their own predisposed view points. There was no in-depth constructive dialogue on the issues at hand, race, self defense, watch, etc, just supermarket tabloid BS. And, as a result, the masses have suffered.
    I don't really think it is point of view. The shit will athletes using social media to promote vigilante justice is crazy. And there are far too many people in this world that listen to the these uninformed athletes. I will be the first to admit that I haven't followed this case closely, but I guarantee you that most of these athletes know even less about what went on in the trial than i do.

    This ain't a black white issue. But it is a poor reflection on our justice system. It's sad. Fucking sad

    How.could it be a black and white issue...zimmerman isnt fuckin white!

    Pretty sure after reading that Marlon Wayans may have been playing himself in Don't Be A Menace....no acting needed.

    Thank goodness. At the end of the day, don't jump someone and you don't die. Also hilarious seeing black celebrities making it a race issue. Just shows that regardless of their agreeance with milk jr, no one actually believes in "be judged by the content of their character". Zimmerman isn't even white. Craziness on twitter tonight.
  • Terry_Tate
    Lol at those tweets. Knew there would be some stupid things said on Twitter but they are topping what I ever thought could be possible.

    don't profile and masquerade as a cop and you don't get "jumped"

    Hmm I'm not the neighbor watch but bet your ass if I "assumed" someone was suspicious in my neighborhood I'd follow/inquire, etc..as well. So should you! Today reaffirmed that, thankfully!

    Unrelated case, but also "stand your ground" in Florida. Different result. 20 years for firing warning shots.

    3 year plea deal offered, rejected because she didn't think she did anything wrong. Found guilty. 20 year sentence. Same crime.

    Refusing to make the government's job easier by forfeiting your Constitutional rights against self-incrimination and to face a trial by jury = sentence increased by 17 years. That's justice for ya.

    Don't jump someone if you're not ready to give your life for it. I'm tired of people thinking they can just rob/jump/whatever to people. You deserve whatever you get. If GZ didn't use self defense than shame on him. But if TM did jump him, he got what he deserved.

    No no no. Don't fall into this trap. It is not stand your ground nor self defense when you leave and return armed and fire shots in the presence of children. Also she was the one that kept letting him back in and she was the one that had the lawful orders against her not him. Do your freaking homework!

    lol the 2 would of never even exchanged words if GZ doesn't try to play cop

    Violence never solves any problems or conflicts. We must learn to communicate with our words better and incidents like this wouldn't happen

    He was walking between homes not just down the sidewalk in the rain dressed in dark. Now I know what you are thinking already but in the rain why are you out in an area that had recent break ins? Oh let's not forget (though GZ didn't know this but TM had already stolen/broken in before/caught with "burglary tools)!
