Its repeating like a broken record.
I am not going to even dignify your last post with an answer.
I might have though that if you were what you say you are you could have had a better argument.
This thread was not supposed to be about guilt or innocence which is what is was turned into.
Interesting "rape" keeps being brought up.

I still don't understand how assault is excusable for being followed. Urban youths, especially those into the gangster rap culture, find pretty much everything "provocation" and justifies physical assault. Sorry, simply being followed does not justify physical assault nor does being "provoked." martin assaulted someone who was exonerated in a trial due to self defense. Martin's death is on him. Don't try to pound someone's head into the pavement, don't get shot. Simple.
Interesting "rape" keeps being brought up. TM's girlfriend told him that the "cracka" might be a rapist. Did TM go back to deliver a beating because he was a homophobe? Interesting twist, eh?

I've been to a lot of white bars while in the Air Force. I don't understand why any of those bar fights that I've seen started. Nobody got shot in those.
Just as I don't understand how wearing weather appropriate gear is excusable for following someone.
I'm done with this thread. I'm sick of seeing this attitude that a person's life is invaluable. ATS is not the same place that it was in 2008 when I was just a lurker in the forums. You guys are heartless. Nobody had to die that night. Nobody would have if big boy simply stayed in his car. Now we should load him up with guns so he can really go 'n-word' hunting.

That was a valiant effort Muzzsleflash.
They are actually named after the State Tree. The Buckeye Tree aka Aesculus glabra.
The Ohio buckeye is the state tree of Ohio, and its name is an original term of endearment for the pioneers on the Ohio frontier, with specific association with William Henry Harrison. Capt. Daniel Davis[3] of the Ohio Company of Associates, under Gen. Rufus Putnam, traversed the wilderness in the spring of 1788, and began the settlement of Ohio. Davis was said to be the second man ashore at Point Harmar, 7 April 1788, and he declared later that he cut the first tree felled by a settler west of the Ohio River, a "buckeye" tree. Additionally, Colonel Ebenezer Sproat, another founder of that same pioneer city of Marietta, had a tall and commanding presence; he greatly impressed the local Indians, who in admiration dubbed him "Hetuck", meaning eye of the buck deer, or Big Buckeye.[4][5] Subsequently, the word came to be used as the nickname and colloquial term for people from the state of Ohio[6] and The Ohio State University's sports teams. The Ohio State University adopted "Buckeyes" officially as its nickname in 1950,[7] and it came to be applied to any student or graduate of the university.
