I guess trial by jury is not good enough any more.
/I wonder if the good Reverend has apologized to the Duke Lacrosse team that he publicly accused of being raper Whites.
//Or the same man who was willing to publicly brand 4 white Philly cops because a young black woman accused them of rape-then recanted her story and admitted she was actually with her boyfriend all weekend, and made up the story about the cops to keep her mom off her back. Her name was Twana Brawley, and Al never apologized to the cops in question. [/quote]
you forgot freddies fashion mart where 8 people where killed due to the good rev’s instigation and he was never charged as an accessory to murder

Pretty much this. I’m taken aback by the not guilty on manslaughter, looks like I was wrong about that. Figured it would have been a slam dunk, and IMO he should do time for that charge.
However this whole case is just another example in a long line of selective outrage and people willing to throw their rights away.[/quote]
Like i said in one of my last posts in this thread–the prosecutors spent the whole trial calling “murder murder murder” when there wzs no evisence for it. The defense basically spent the whole trial saying “nope, there’s no evidence”. When, at the very end, the DA’s office went to motion for a lower charge they still had those words ringing in the jury’s ears with no rebuttal. Those kinds of repeated lines imprint themselves on a jury, regardless of how you want them to think.
If the prosecution had spent the whole trial going “no, we don’t need to prove that for manslaughter, thats foe a murder charge: all you need to look at is this…” They coyld very well have had a conviction.
The fact that I am reading on certain news sites that we have some what of a race war is ridiculous. Also, people need to realize GZ is hispanic. Not a white hispanic, when you see a mixed person who has let’s say a black dad and white mom; you do not call that person a white black. You would call them mixed or just black. I do not get how people came up with white hispanic.

That is because, to be Latino is to be part of a culture not “race”.
I’d say it would be hard to consider it a flattering term.
The word guero is a corruption of the word huero, and originates from the phrase huevo huero, or “empty egg”.
An empty egg as it applies to chickens is one that is unfertilized, and thus will never hatch. In humans, it’s a pregnancy that starts out but is spontaneously aborted in about the 12th week. In any case, a huero or guero is someone without substance: a miscarriage.
Calling someone an abortion or a miscarriage on the basis of their skin color seems pretty insulting, in my opinion.
But hey, plenty of people throw around ethnic slurs like “greaser” and “chink” and “raghead” without thinking they are terribly insulting, so no biggie.
I am also wondering the probability of trying to charge Zimmerman with violating Trayvon’s civil rights I thought it had to be a government official or something similar for that charge.
God forbid reality enter into any of the discussion
Jesse Jackson today actually had the nerve to vilify cops in Chicago who have shot black (I’m assuming armed) suspects (assumption because you know he and Sharpton would be there NOW holding Demo’s if otherwise)
Any mention of the black on black crime wave and murder rate in Chicago? Of course not.

I didn’t understand that either, the mention of it I read on cnn said he lost one of his civil rights (the right to life). Does this mean anyone who is proved innocent for murder can still be put on trial for taking someones “right to life”?

A video entered as evidence is displayed in courtroom. It shows Trayvon Martin, right, at a 7-Eleven on the night of his shooting.
Now Why can’t CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and MSNBC take that picture of a twelve year old Trayvon in a gray hoody and exchange for the factual picture here? Because they are liberal shit with an agenda to break this country apart from within.
Hey liberals who has FAUX NEWS? Who sleeps in same bed with Obama admin and hides his ills?
It is interesting to note regarding the riots that R. King was pulled over:
drunk driving
running from the police (later admitted to it because he didn’t want to get arrested)
was on parole for robbery
high on drugs
insulted officers and made it appear that he was reaching for a weapon (which, in todays cop world, he would have been shot).
tasered twice
beaten
and still didn’t give up…only to end up OD’ing in a swimming pool years later… Im not exactly into precog but a alcoholic drug user ended going out the way he would have died years later.
I did end up hearing the entire story from Koon himself…it was fucking crazy to say the least.
Im not saying Martin would have grown up to be a criminal but it wasn’t looking bright and shinny for the young lad.
I think athletes, celebrities and even the president making the jackass tweets is something horrible, just about our culture in general.
I don’t know if you heard but a bunch of football players are in a lot of shit for tweeting. One player told the jurors to “go home and kill yourselves.”
I think Jamie Foxx at one point said people should riot if Zim gets off.
Some celebs are agreeing with the verdict.
everyone tweets then deletes and issues an apology. I think FB and Twitter should just be sued by the people of the world. No good can or will come from that shit. It is just an instant opportunity to stress and ruin your life or the lives of others.

Oh yeah, that was Roddy White. What a fucking idiot, lost all respect for him. I saw a bunch of rappers, too. I imagine 85% of them didn’t follow the trial whatsoever.
