I don't know where you live but in a gated community it IS suspicious if you don't belong there.Growed ups? wid?Are you trying to be cute while mocking people at the same time?Because it's not working.Freedom of choice yeah.The problem with this case is the blacks making it a race issue.Too many of them are failing to get the facts.They're just assuming the "kid" was shot because he was black.
Okay, apart from the ‘growed up’, words like ‘wid’ and ‘gie’ are Scots - my native tongue. I was quoting Robert Burns....in English he says ‘Would some power give us the gift to see ourselves as others see us.’
And really......you should see yourself as I see you. You talk in sweeping terms of ‘the blacks’ and then accuse them of making it a race issue?
This unarmed kid (and at 17 he was a kid) was shot and killed by a fella for no good reason The kid was breaking no laws – if he had broken any laws you can bet your bottom dollar the local police would have spread that information far and wide to justify their decision not to prosecute. His death is worthy of more than a cursory investigation. (Notice colour doesn’t come into that equation)
And of course he didn’t belong in a ‘gated community’ but don’t you question that the society you live in necessitates this fortified existence and its ‘them or us’ mentality?

Funny thing is you'll see white people at rallys such as the ones for Mr.Martin.But you'll never see as many blacks at a rally for a white youth that was killed for no reason.edit on 24-3-2012 by nightstalker78 because: (no reason given)

Why would he look like him?
Just because he's black?
I thought the assumption that they all looked alike pissed blacked people off.

So I'm assuming you aren't from America.Which means you have no clue how some blacks behave here.If they don't get their way it's always about race.Funny thing is you'll see white people at rallys such as the ones for Mr.Martin.But you'll never see as many blacks at a rally for a white youth that was killed for no reason.edit on 24-3-2012 by nightstalker78 because: (no reason given)

Good thing your smart enough to realize that is not one or few individuals do not represent the entire one...oh wait
Go back to your cave, civilization is better off without people like you..

I'm from America, and I'm Native American. I've seen how some whites behave.
And I have seen black people rally when there was an innocent white person killed. It happened in my area, and didn't make national news.

Do You think this it was a race crime?
I think to answer that, we'd have to be in Zimmerman's mind. To know if HE was a racist or not. If Zimmerman were racist, then yes, it's a race crime. If he were not, he still violated the Stand Your Ground law and the Neighborhood Watch rules, by stalking this young man. His job, as some on here put it, was to watch. Not stalk. Not interrogate, and certainly not kill. This is a judge's son who has committed violent crimes before, some of which were felonies, and yet, he was still allowed to carry a weapon. Whomever let those past violations disappear to the point where it was ok for Zimmerman to be carrying a weapon, in my opinion, should share some of the responsibility. My personal opinion, I'd feel the same no matter the color. This was a vigilante who shot an unarmed young man.
Just wonder where people stand.
