Thread: One thing I don't get about this Zimmerman/Martin thing

Everyone here always tells me that racism from a minority is fine, that it's only a problem when white people do it

But Zimmerman is Hispanic. So why the outrage?

Who here (be specific in your response, as always--oh right, you never respond) has always told you racism from a minority is fine? Aside from your difficulty with understanding the CBC, of course.

Or maybe this is more just a case of your general retardation, than any specific misunderstanding. Always the most likely explanation for you.

Naturally this has much more to do with those stupid gun laws and how they increase homicides than anything else, but you guys have trouble with that concept as well.

Everyone here tells you that? Who is everyone? You? DBT? MTH?

Pls define "everyone"

ILC=Can't Understand Normal Thought................

I thought ILC was testing out some racial humor for his stand up routine at a Teabagger convention. Should get hudge laughs!

Hey dex, not that it could prove causation, but what's the p-value on gun ownership vs crime? Or how about the current trend?

Oh, of course. "Naturally".

Dex accusing others of "retardation". Priceless!

Does it really matter what Zimmerman's ethnicity is? He killed a guy due to believing a racist stereotype. I don't care If it was White-Black, Asian-Black, or Hispanic-Black hatred... it's also immaterial.

There's nothing to get other than it appears this asshole stalked, cornered and murdered this kid in cold blood. Fucker needs the same treatment (just like on that Gilliagans Island episode).

First of all, reading the old thread ilikecandy cited I think it's a real stretch to say "everyone" said it's OK for minorities to be racist. Second, how can you even compare calling someone a nigger to shooting someone down because, due to their ethnicity, you believe they must be up to no good?

Because ILC and DBT just love to play coy with the concept of racism. Constructing conceptual loopholes and trolling for a 'gotcha' moment makes them giddy. Typical right wing troll behavior.

ILC should stick to yogurt.

Not reading the whole thing, but it appears you have one resident moron (DBS) claiming that racism on the part of oppressed groups is OK. This proves your point? Or can you be specific this time?

Hey dex, not that it could prove causation, but what's the p-value on gun ownership vs crime? Or how about the current trend?

Trend toward what? Like the tripling of the FLA gun homicide rate since that law went into effect (but since we can't definitively prove causation that's irrelevant, I suppose)? And how would a p-value be arrived at for this? The one good shot we had at anything like this was blocked by the NRA in Congress a number of years back.

You're ignoring the first rule of trolling, dude. Second rule is don't use punctuation, from what I can tell.

^^^ THIS.

News for ilikecandy: the Police Chief in his initial press conference said Zimmerman was White. So the cops thought he was white, not Hispanic. And most of the anger is directed at the preferential treatment Zimmerman has received. And that preferential treatment happened when the cops thought Zimmerman was white.

Hunting down another human being and killing them like an animal is murder. Zimmerman deserves the death penalty. I could care less about his race.

I have absolutely zero doubt that if the race equation was reversed, an armed black man chased and gunned down an unarmed teenager of any race, the shooter would be in jail facing the death penalty.

So yeah ilc, this is racisim. In it's most ugly form possible.

Hard to believe this is even up for discusion in a supposedly advanced society.

How unfortunate that this is true ^^^^ Guys not even in custody is he ??? never was it seems ? Sanford has had a pretty bad record of overt racism by the police dept. (nothing unusual there).
This is a case I wouldn't oppose the guy getting the death penalty provided they could show he did in fact stalk and gun down this boy. But they won't gamble that conviction. Wonder if it becomes a Federal trial ?

Could easily go federal.

If you've heard the recordings of the calls he was obviously a nut, and unfit for whatever 'job' he was doing. But these are the people who must, constitutionally, be able to have guns, right? Because that's what's keeping us safe--you know, low gun violence rate we have here, and all.

As the OP has me marked as an BHO homer - I'd like to express my disgust that while the Afghan shooter case is being "spared no effort" (in itself a good thing - we should probably just leave him chained to a post in Kabul) this is being treated as a "local law enforcement matter".

Dude was looking for an excuse to gun somebody down. Maybe the fact that the victim was black had a little to do with it, but I dunno. The guy really seemed to have a hard-on to shoot somebody. This was in Florida right? They still have the death penalty don't they? Sounds pretty premeditated to me. And yeah - because some neighborhood watch freak guns down some poor kid in cold blood the logical thing to do is ban guns.

Here's one from Wisconsistan that's pretty much the opposite of the Florida one:

Slinger homeowner not criminally charged for shooting intruder

SLINGER- A Slinger homeowner will not be charged for shooting and killing an intruder.

According to the Washington County's district attorney, the evidence just wasn't there to move forward with charges.

TODAY'S TMJ4's Annie Scholz caught up with the homeowner, who asked TODAY'S TMJ4 to not put him on camera. He directed TODAY'S TMJ4 to his attorney, who said even though his client feels justified, nobody wins in a case like this.

The homeowner told authorities 20-year-old Bo Morrison scared him when he found him hiding inside a dark enclosed porch around 2 a.m. on March 3.

"There were many factors that went into this decision. One of the important factors was the time of day," said Washington County district attorney Mark Bensen.

Morrison had run to the house, hiding from police after he'd been drinking at a nearby party. His blood alcohol level was over twice the legal driving limit.

According to Bensen, "Mr. Morrison took a step towards him (the homeowner) and he fired one shot. The homeowner also had his wife in his house and there were also three young children."

Nobody in the house where the party took place wanted to comment.

The homeowner's attorney says his client simply wants to put it all behind him. "I don't really think there's a message you can take from this. It was a sad situation all around...If he could change what happened, he certainly would," said the homeowner's attorney Craig Mastantuono.

A question surrounding this case is whether the 'castle doctrine' played a role. It's the law that protects homeowners who take action against an intruder. The district attorney said with or without it, he would have reached the same decision to not criminally charge the homeowner.

...although I'm sure Dex and the rest of the libtards will have plenty to say about racism (Bo Morrison happened to be black), poor innocent victims and horrible icky guns.

The soldier definitely seems to have had some type of mental break down (doesn't excuse only explains). This guy in Florida could turn out to be the same thing. I'm sure the feds are looking at it closely, and would step in if they thought it was gonna be swept under the rug somehow.

Hey OSECS - were you referring to Jonathan Kinkaide?

Damn couldn't remember his name !! Yep that episode. Gilligan gets hunted classic Can't remember the actors name big guy, jet black hair ?? a Victor Mature kind of look....

What I don't understand is: This happened Feb 26th. Yet NPR just really started discussing this just a few days ago. I don't have TV and I honestly thought, the way NPR has been going on about this over the past few days, that it had just recently happened. I was literally shocked when I found out it had happened Feb 26th.

So why didn't it make big headlines directly after it happened? Like I said, I didn't hear shit about it until early this week. Maybe on TV it's been nonstop all month, but not on NPR or the internet news.

Anyway....the guy had supposedly called 911 forty times about suspicious people in his neighborhood since Jan 1st!!!!

The guy is obviously fruit-cake batshit crazy.

Yeah - Gilligan evades him, he ditches the castaways and when he gets back he gets a perfect score in a skeet match but suffers a complete nervous breakdown and is committed to a psychiatric hospital
