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.
If your post wasn't so ludicrous, I might be offended. I can't be offended at something so lacking in objectivity.
In your previous post, you said Zimmerman should be arrested now..before the investigation is finished. Objectivity fail You argue about objectivity,, by stereotyping the very same group that you claim are stereotyping...that's rich....just not the white, conservative,racist, republican type.

It's amazing how left wingers dismiss information that doesn't fit their narrative. It's amazing how the police investigation wasn't good enough for left wingers that want "all the facts". It's amazing how left wingers are so stupid as to make statements like the hooded jacket or skittles was even a major factor in the shooting. It amazes me that not one left winger on this board mentioned the cuts on Zimmerman's face and the eye witness account that Zimmerman was on the bottom getting beat, or that Zimmerman's BLACK friend said in no way Zimmerman a racist.
But as we know, it doesn't matter...The narrative is this, right wing republicans want to see black people killed and left wing democrats want to protect them. Not one left winger on this board mentions that 95% of black murders are committed by other blacks.

^5 Thanks for pointing that out.........saved me the trouble..........
Here's an example of how the press is trying to steer this story. The two photos we have seen over and over again are of Zimmerman in prison type orange clothing and a shot of 13 year old traavon ( a four year old picture), in his football uniform. It makes Zimmerman look like a criminal and Traavon look like the all-american boy. I wonder what the public would think it they used these more recent photos of both

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)
Well Tbird... It appears that the reality is backwards from your paranoia post...
The kid DID HAVE skittles at 11PM The killer had the Gun.
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
I worked in the South End and Arbor hill for 30 years and I have run into a few black racists over the years. On a positive note only a few people are that way but it gives the good people a bad reputation. I've also worked in Harlem, Queens, and the Bronx and again there are only a few who are racist. I walked into the Chiefs Lounge on South Pearl St at midnight to fix a problem and heard a couple of drunks ask what the Honkey was doing in there and was defended by the majority of the people in there. The left always wants to paint with a broad brush and lump a whole group in with a few individuals who are guilty. Clean out your own glass house before you start throwing stones.
The kid Young, 6' 3" 160lb adult DID HAVE skittles at 11PM The killer had the Gun.
corrected with the pic a post above yours

If holding you up to the same standard as you hold me to is throwing stones, I'm guilty as charged.

When your idols are Rush and Glen Beck, virulent radio conservatives that you all adore, the rest of the "thinking" country is in trouble. Obama will win again just because of this type of thinking. Skittles=Gun in whose world? And potato chips would be what equal to an AK 47? Better he should have died from potato chips than skittles right? Do you people take pills to act this irrationally?

But it was a king sized bag of skittles...
I don't spell check! Sorry... If you include "No offense" in a statement, chances are, your statement is offensive.

...and Martin was shot because he was black and Zimmerman was white.(don't mention Hispanic) That is a double dose of the irrationality pill.

More stereotyping... you just can't help it, I guess. I can't stand Beck and I take Rush simply as an entertainer who I don't take any more seriously than Keith Olbermann. I'm closer to Harry Reid on social issues than I am to Rush. I don't see things in a black and white way. You and I have NO idea what really went on in FLA, whether it was race that the factor, the fear of what was in that pocket of a 17 year old on a rainy night, or was it truly self-defense. The difference between you and me is that you want an arrest before an investigation is finished and all the facts are presented. You could care less about true justice, it seems. If he truly acted in a criminal way, I want him prosecuted, but if not, he should not be charged. What I fear is the press and race baiters have so poisoned the water, that an investigation won't matter. Regardless of guilt or innocence, Zimmerman will end up being a sacrificial lamb regardless.

Where was the lefts phony outrage when 3 blacks poured a flamable liquid over a white kid. Still nothing in the media about white youth being set on fire by blacks shouting “You get what you deserve white boy” March 25, 2012 By Seymour Leave a Comment
In what has proved to be one of the most popular stories on The Seymour Standard, the racial attack on a 13 year old white boy still isn’t being covered by any national media. In a country where it seems every opinion piece is dedicated to the slaying of Travyon Martin, and tens of thousands have mobilized to protest the “hate crime”, not a single story has been dedicated to the boy that was doused in gasoline and set on fire by a group of black adolescents. what you get white boy?b http://www.theseymourstandard......p;

Of course the investigation won't matter. The objectivity is GONE! This is more mob justice. If the mob, which is ignorant of all the facts of the matter, wants their justice, the legal authorities will have to sacrifice Zimmerman to prevent the city from violently exploding due to the professional agitators.
Obama could have been the uniter and not divider if he united people behind the rule of law and let the legal system work. Instead he chooses to inflame the situation by saying that Trey Martin looked like he could have been the son he never had.
The left is shredding the country along the lines of race and gender and doesn’t care about the wreckage left in its wake.
