When someone bigger and stronger than you jumps you from behind, and is beating the piss out of you, and you're yelling for help, and no help is coming, let me know how you feel about that law then. Let me know how you feel when the only thing between you and being a vegitable, or maybe even death from blunt trauma, is the firearm you're legally carrying.
I can tell you've never been jumped and beaten. If you had, you wouldn't even be saying that.

This right freaking here! Hip Hop culture is not new.
It's been around since the early 70's.
It is an American created form of music and culture.
Americans are the inventors of Hip Hop.
It's been around for almost 40 years.
It's music and culture is in every other commercial on TV.
I hear the word "diss" used by news anchors on my local news broadcasts.
YOU should be used to this.
People around here act like they have never seen a Mountain Dew commercial.

NOTHING good comes from thug life trash culture. All it teaches young black males is to be sexist pig headed hypemasculine savages. If America cared for blacks they'd ban thug culture and dress wear.

First of all, that there is the stereotyping that I'm combatting. You sound like O'Reilly..

Yea he was following him. Doing his job as neighborhood watchman. The job the gated community in which he lived allowed him to do. Trayvon did not live there. Series of recent breakins. Un-known person walking at night in the rain. Don't any of you see this as a little odd? Hell i would have followed him too. any neighborhood watch in the country would have followed this young man and asked questions. It's why we have neighborhood watch programs.
Now that a witness has came forward and said he/she saw Trayvon on TOP of Zimmerman. Let me guess, if this witness is white or hispanic we automaticly say BS? But if this witness is black what will you all say? He's lieing also? The media is driving this to epic proportions. And now the Black Panthers are getting involved. and they want to " Do what the police want" . Gang mentality isnt going to solve this. It's just going to stoke the fires of racial hatred all over the damn country. one of the other poster's was correct in saying. If Zimmermans skin color matched that of Trayvon, this would'nt even have gotten a paragraph in the news papers. Just like the thousands everyday.
But what it does do is get everybodies mind off of the real problems this country and world faces.. Iran, Libya, Syria, Israel. Iraq, Afghanistan ( recent murders). Cost of gas, no jobs, etc etc etc.
I am out of this thread as I can't deal with the outright denial of some that the POLICE DID NOT ARREST ZIMMERMAN. They will now that the media has whipped everyone into a frenzy. If the media has whores, it;s obvious some of you are just that.
The Sanford police department did an attrocious job handling this investigation. Since when can you murder somebody, go home, and voluntarily give a statement?

The NYPD has been far too busy punching women at the Occupy Wallstreet camp to do any menial task like catch real criminals.

Dressing a certain way doesn't mean anything. When I was younger I dressed "grunge"....yet I never cut myself or attempted suicide. When I was younger still I dressed more "metal"......yet I never killed a cat in the woods. And I'm a video game geek....yet I've never taken a day off work to play a game that came out today (though the first day I ever bunked school was the day Mortal Kombat 1 hit my local arcade).
The point is.....one doesn't have to do with the other. It's the person's actions that matter, not how they dress. The "Thug" look IS particularly shady looking......especially in a neighborhood in which people don't dress like that. But even so......just because you say you dress in a way some people would think is "thug" looking (even though a hoodie and baggie jeans isn't really "thuggy", alot of people dress like that....it's the newer "50cent or lil wayne" look that is particularly off-putting to normal people)..........just because you dress that way does that mean you're breaking into houses? Or selling drugs? Or have gang tats? Or having people on your twitter congratulating you for beating up a bus driver? Or immediately attacking a security officer that wants to know why you're in this neighborhood you don't live in, in the middle of the night?
Do you do those things because you dress that way? No.......I bet you don't. Yet this "kid" did every one of those things. This "thug" didn't get killed because he dresses like a Ja Rule....whatever that is.......Or because of racism. He got killed because he actually is.....or was.....a "thug" with "thug" mentality.....doing "thug" things......e.g. crimes.
You people going around calling everyone racist........you're all the REAL racist. You turn everything into a race case. It's like all of you people.....maybe due to indoctrination, or brainwashing of some kind into an overly poliically correct way of thinking......no longer have any ability to call things like they are. You look down upon the truth because I guess being "racially sensative" is more important than our society as a whole. Remember Chris Rock's hilarious first stand up special? "I love black people, but I hate ........" (I'm affraid to even quote a man for fear of being banned because of PCness). Today that would no longer be considered "funny because it's true" (which it is).......if that stand up came out today, Chris Rock would be sued and his career would be over due to public outrage.
You PC people have just about ruined America at this point.......which I know you people are ecstatic about. ANd soon it will totally fall due to your political correctness when you people start a new racially moticated civil war in America which is going to leave America wide open to external attack.....which will immediately be taken advatage of.
Hmmmmm.....now that I type that, it sounds alot like what John Titor said, eh? He said something started in 2008......when Oboma got in office. Then civil war.....which seems like a racial one is coming. Then external attack in 2015. Hmmm........I'm SO interested to see how this unfolds, for no other reason than to know if Titor was legit.
