Political cartoons aren't facts?  I form all my opinion based off of Box's cartoons.

Does the stand your ground law permit a person to shoot the Easter Bunny?


Only if the Easter Bunny was 'packin' Skittles!

55tbird is correct, let the police do their investigation and the true facts of the case will eventually come forward. If the police decide that Zimmerman broke the law by ignoring their advice not to follow the suspect then he will do jail time. If they find that the suspect attacked the shooter from behind then it will be self defense. Sharpton and Jackson never miss a chance to stir up trouble between the races and Tawana Brawley comes to mind,, they always jump to conclusions.

Gee, not one example of a person protecting themselves from assault.  Very balanced debate so far - just as expected.

Know they are not facts.  Zimmerman shot that kid--oh a black kid--what a surprise.  Being born black and a male in this country already puts a target on your back.  Zimmerman should be thrown in jail.  This is an outrage.

This statement above is a prime reason why public discourse when it comes to race relations will never be successful.

Travvon was black, Zimmerman is white/hispanic, so lets skip the investigation and trial, and throw him in prison

A man shot an unarmed kid holding a bag of candy...
If a White man shot a Rotterdam White kid holding a bag of candy...
the outrage would shake this board apart.  The shooter would be labeled as a monster...
but if the kid was black... "it was probably self defense".
Pathetic

What's pathetic is your continuing insistence to claim Traavon was holding a bag a candy like a full size bag of chips. It was small bag he had in his hoodie pocket. We are not talking about a shooting that occurred on a Sunday afternoon at 2pm, it was 11pm on a rainy night. I'll let the investigation play out while you continue to race bait.

Oh!... I see!
This wasn't a bag of chips... no it was a "small" bag of Skittles. (I'm already scared)
and
It wasn't at 2pm, when people normally eat skittles... THIS CHILD WAS EATING SKITTLES AT 11PM!

Sounds like he deserved to be shot!

Thanks for the clarification.

It appears that on the 911 tape, while Zimmerman is following Martin, before he shoots Martin,
he calls him a "Fu@kin Coon"...
(No racism there!)

Where do you come up with this stuff?  What if it was an Asian that shot a black person, or how about a Native American?  There are over 300 million people in this country.  There are murders and manslaughter that happens EVERYDAY.   Why has this one been handpicked by the media to inject into the national debate?  This is being politicized to create a racial controversy in order to polarize people along racial lines.  These leftists are so dangerous. They don't care if they agitate people to the point of violence.  They blame "conservative" radio for using violent rhetoric, and they even blamed the Gabby Gifford shooting on Rush and Sarah Palin.  Yet, they have every left wing liberal race baiter inciting violence, and the media and democrat leaders sit there and push the racial narrative.  The hypocrisy is disgusting.

What did Martin call Zimmerman?  Nobody knows except the investigators!!!  This is such biased reporting it is sick.  Lefties always want to wait for "all the facts".  Not in this case though, only need one side of the story.

Another assumption Box... I listened to that recording as well as one that was digitally cleaned up. There is no way you can tell positively what he said. As many people have said it sounds like he said F'ing Punks as F'ing Coons. The one you listed it sounds like Coons to me ,but the cleaned up version sure sounds like Punks.

But, isn't this just another race-baiting tidbit that really has nothing to do with what really happened?

I figured you might have enough clarity to understand what I was getting at, but I forgot you are nothing but a DNC mouthpiece.


Small bag of skittles hidden in a waist pocket of a hoodie at 11pm (as in darkness Box) on a rainy might look more threatening (as in Gun, Box) than a big bag of chips at 2pm (as in broad daylight, Box)

Box is right.  It is amazing that the people on this board fall right into line with right wing, racist, lacking in objectivity, conservative folk.  Traavon was a kid wearing a hoodie.  My kids do it all the time.  Oh but one is at American University, one at Siena another with Syracuse U and the list goes on. My son-in-law is one of the few whte administrators at Howard University.  He doesn't fear for his life everyday walking on a black campus.  NO my gang is privileged and so are yours.  Work in the hood--walk in the hood.  Visit the South End of Albany and Arbor Hill schools and then get back on this board and shoot off your mouths.
