Originally posted by PLATO View PostI agree. The good here is that it has brought the issue of race to the national consciousness again. The reactions and polarizations are real proof that more needs to be done for there to be true equality in this country. Using this particular case was just stupid as the evidence does not support it being race based in any way. I am sure that there could have been much better cases for the media to grab hold of.
Still, if there is a silver lining, it is that discriminatory action is once again in the national spotlight.
Let's hope that this is the issue that stays in the focus. Our President has already strayed from the issue by calling SELF DEFENSE "GUN VIOLENCE". If it deteriorates into politicians trying to score political points for their pet projects then Trayvon will truly have died in vain. Only by keeping the focus on IMPROVING race relations can his death have any meaning...even if his death wasn't caused by race issues.
2. Shooting and killing someone is gun violence. "Self defense" just means it is okay.
3. With regards to self defense, ask yourself, "What would Jesus do?" He could have melted the Roman soldiers like the Ark of the Covenant did in Raiders of the Lost Ark. But did he? No. So anyone wanting to follow the example of Christ shouldn't kill... even in self defense.To us, it is the BEAST.

Originally posted by Sava View PostThis isn't anything new, of course. Personally, I'm more upset by the fact that this story is as big as it is. And now we get that story Wiggy posted where some dip**** at politico is making the seemingly not-so-obvious point that the media basically blew this out of proportion. No ****ing ****! I'd only say to that writer, "You are the media! It's your fault! SO SHUT THE **** UP ALREADY"
The media is getting exactly what it wanted. Now its still in the news and they are making tons on it.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

To us, it is the BEAST.

I think we have already established Jabba the Hut is not a credible witness. If only Boba Fett were around to corroborate the story."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

It seems likely, based on Jeantel's testimony, that Martin was close to his house, but decided to go back to confront Zimmerman - whose pursuit seemed to stop when the 9/11 operator told him that they don't need him outside.To us, it is the BEAST.

I love that the transgendered judge refused to allow evidence that trayvon loved MMA fighting because some rogue imposter may have stolen trayvon's phone and written about loving fighting in his name. After it was pointed out that this was illogical, the judge's penis fell off and she ran out of the courtroom:
