Do it man! I’m getting all pumped up, I’m starting to think about getting back into Strength training when I get back to the USA and do some small Strongman comps. Just seems like fun.
Besides, its an excuse to where a kilt… if you ever needed one in the first place :P.

I hope your right and he ends up just being a life support system for a butthole 4 life but time will tell

If he isn’t convicted I’ll be the white guy, leading the protest, in front of Al Sharpton. No injuries to him. No shots fired at him at all. And no gun.

Ah, but you’re forgetting that Davis assaulted Dunn with that most threatening combination of weapons: loud music, a sassy attitude and a black skin. I’ll bet he had saggy pants, too.

A sassy attitude? So, he was black and gay.

It’s those saggy pants and sassy attitude that makes him a thug.
Come on guys you know hes going to get off. He is white and will just invoke his magic White Privilege powers.
Lets not make a joke out of Jordans case its a horible tragedy… These things happen more than you know in these stand your ground states. Its a shame but like DN posted the stats the propensity for unarmed black\brown teens to die is there. Google these dudes if you think its not Darrius Simmons Age 13, Corey Stingley Age 19, Bo Morrison Age 20…
In regards to the term (white privelege) I think everyone blew that way out of proportion in the TM thread… It is a Sociology term for the benifits of being white as opposed to brown or black in a majority white society… The same concepts apply to male privlege as well. Its not like being born royalty or something. Here is a pretty basic re-cap of the concept as it would be coverd in a college sociology class

So if that’s all Jordan did why are you comparing him to someone who committed assault and attempted murder? Seems kind of racist that you would assume Jordan is such a criminal just because he is 17 and black like Trayvon.
If what I have been able to find about this case is true, it does a disservice to this victim to compare him to TM. This seems to be a pretty easy case for the prosecution to get murder (assuming the facts I pieced together through Wikipedia are true), while the Zimmerman case seemed incredibly easy to get a self defense claim. Two completely different situations and should be two completely different verdicts.

And when Old Whitey is found guilty of murder no one will talk about it. The justice system does work when evidence and proof is actually used.

My thoughts on TM are much different than yours theres really no point in going down that path… I dont agree to me I see 2 unarmed black teens In looking at this case I still find it troubling that a black teen was killed and the admitted shooter goes free. Yes he did get booked after 24hrs but WTF 24hrs???

That’s great, can I get some empirical or statistical evidence of what basically boils down to white supremacy?

What does this say? I don’t follow the second sentence at all.
re: 2 unarmed black teens…TM was beating the guys head into the concrete (eye witness), I understand TM didn’t register his hands as lethal weapons with the state of Florida, but he was training to fight and had gotten into several fights leading up to attacking GZ. Not to mention the boy was a known user of “lean,” which he had two of the three ingredients with him as he was walking home (Arizona Watermelon Ice Tea Cocktail and Skittles).
Martin was guilty of assault and battery.
Jordan Davis was guilty of driving and listening to loud music.
Not exactly the same thing.
And sweet baby jebus, would somebody PLEASE tell Al Sharpton that the stand your ground law did NOT apply to Travon Martin’s case.
GAWD.

It took 24 hours because the shooter did not stay at the scene and call the police. He left, went home (or to a hotel or something, it is hard to find real information on this case, especially since I refuse to read anything about this case that has a reference to Trayvon Martin in it) ordered pizza and called the police the next day, where he was promptly arrested as he should have been. If he hadn’t called, it would have taken longer to find him, especially if nobody had caught his license plate.

You make too much sense. This cannot be tolerated.
