As for Trayvon-

Yest, "attempted murder" does sound like the kind of made-up justification a conservative would make so that he could justify siding with a child murderer.

All of the witnesses agree that he was in the wrong.  Crying "racist" isn't going to change the fact that that man was trying to defend himself.

You may want to think about your accusations. I didn't call racism. This would be some horrid shit whether Martin was white or black.


And I hardly think it's "self defense" when he seeks out Martin, with a gun in hand, because he thinks he looks suspicious. Zimmerman went after Martin, not the other way around.

I'm seriously not going to get into a discussion with you. I know how that ends- you frothing around the mouth, throwing around abuse and generally acting like a jackass. I've no time for people who can't be civil.

Nah, you've just proven that you're willfully ignorant, and you try to make excuses for stupid liberals, so I'd rather troll you.  Like I would to the "well meaning" Christian who tries to defend the WBC.

Any time when you make sweeping generalizations like you hate someone, it's hard to rationally quantify. Plus I like your comments overall.

Yeah... the Trayvon case is more complicated than it seems at first, but the way conservatives jump to demonize Trayvon sickens me. So I object. 

And thank you.

Well the way I look at it, man with gun shoots and hunts down unarmed teenager. Not so much ambiguity. Even if Martin wasn't a saint.

Greatkingrat88 In reply to Master-of-the-Boot [2013-09-02 07:50:52 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I agree with you there. Apparently, Martin did fight back, bloodying his assailant, and that wasn't reported at first- but yes, to me it's really straightforward, just not as straightforward as it seemed at first.

Master-of-the-Boot In reply to Greatkingrat88 [2013-09-02 18:01:25 +0000 UTC]

Well no the case wasn't as straightforward as it seemed at first. Though many people's problems with the trail resulted from the fact that initially Zimmerman wasn't charged and he did lie about his encounter,

The real problem is that the law is shaped so that a man with a gun shooting a kid to death can actually be acquitted.

So? What was Trevon Martain doing that night? BEcause I no longer care for this! Conservatives and Liberals on both sides are going mad over this when they shouldn't! It was tragic for both men so stop!

ryu238 In reply to ??? [2013-08-31 01:46:14 +0000 UTC]

You all act like this is mainstream. Look I feel that his murder shouldn't have happened, bu even if Zimmerman was innocent, using Treyvon's criminal record to promote your point is disgracing the dead. Yes this shirt is stupid when you stop to think about it, but you are giving it attention.

Okay! As a black man, I find this T-Shirt utterly repulsive! Who the HELL was so short-sighted, oblivious, and ignorant as to even remotely think this was a good comparison?! The only thing I'd find more offensive than this comparison is someone comparing Obama's treacherous two-faced ass to Dr. King! If I met someone who said THAT, there would be a fight!

Uh huh, 10 to 1 you were sympathetic to Martin before his criminal record came out.

IAmTheUnison In reply to ryu238 [2013-08-31 09:02:47 +0000 UTC]

No. Before I became aware of his criminal record (and his height advantage over Zimmerman) I thought they were BOTH guilty. Looking at what I originally knew of the case, I thought they were just two idiots who allowed their tempers to get flared and one ended up dead because of it.

Either way, comparing Trayvon to Dr. King is an insult regardless.

Look why do you consider this an insult please explain why? I mean this is harmless! What does a criminal record mean here anyway? Fr all you know Martin wasn't ding anythign, he was approached by a man with a gun and tried to defend himself. But no, turns out he doesn't have a criminal record. Explain that!

I personally see it a stupid comparison myself, but think that you are giving to much emotion to it, just like the people who see racism where it isn't.
