Her "point" was to effectively blow your "point" out of the water.All that is understood. The problem with the stand your ground law is that Zimmerman KNEW and studied that law a lot. He knew that if he felt in danger he can shoot someone in self defense.
Here's the problem conservatives like to ignore: This isn't about "you cant defend yourself" which is why that is a popular talking point. Bumper sticker sized. Short.
The problem is someone like GZ can walk around with a gun. Pick a fight with someone and when on the losing end of that fight shoots them. That's the problem. Zimmerman was big and bad with the gun on his hip because if anyone he confronts gets the best of him he'll just start killing.
That is the flaw in that law.
So anyone who knows the law has no right to its protection? And FYI SYG was not part of the Zimmerman trial. The defense's sole defense was self defense.
Do you have a point or just trolling?
To be exact, the shameful truth is that 93% of African-American murders are committed by other African-Americans. That is breathtakingly awful when you consider how incensed the African-American community is about the Trayvon tragedy, no matter what you believe about Zimmerman’s guilt.
Let’s do the gruesome math, not out of morbidity, but because it manifests the incredible self-centered insanity of people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
8,000-9,000 African-Americans are murdered each year.
93% of them by other African-Americans.
That’s 7,905 (from average)
That’s 21.65 murdered each day by other African-Americans.
And these racebaiting culture-hustling microphone-pimps only get riled up when a “White Hispanic” kills an African-American? It’s absolutely shameful.
To update, in the 513 days between Trayvon dying, and the Zimmerman verdict, 11,106 African Americans have been murdered by other African-Americans.

You blacks kill whites at twice the rate of the other way around in yet we're the ones apologizing? LOL You're the fucking idiots that need to stop your sons from blowing each other at a mind blowing level...>49% of all murders, black on black is 93% of that. This is ok with you.
You people won't be happy until killers and rapist can walk our streets freely.

"You"?...."We"?
I don't think any blacks who post here have personally murdered anyone, and you are sure not personally apologizing for anything.
Stereotype much?

I'll be angry until the media and people like Sharpton stop blaming me for the problems of the black community. As long as you're blaming whites for being disadvantaged I'll keep doing what I am doing.
Poor, poor, oppressed white Americans. Will our plight ever be properly portrayed in the media? Will we ever have equal rights and justice?
Not wanting to be raped makes you a homophobe? Really?
This is where you want to go with this?
Why was Trayvon worried about "being raped"? Just because he was being followed?
Does not wanting to be mugged/murdered while walking through the hood make me racist? Really??
I don't believe in karma. I believe in doing good to other people and letting justice deal with those who don't know better. When someone testifies something in court after swearing to tell the truth, then blathering to a talk show host just the opposite occurred is not only a foolish thing to do, it is indicative of perjury. People who defend a perjurer are on the slippery slope of arrogance.No one escapes karma...not sunshine, not Ernestine, not Jackoff Starkey. Not even poets. Bank on that.

beachboy, I still read 19th century and early 20th century poetry, particularly Housman and Hardy, and I read Carlyle, Mill, Newman, Dickens, and all of the other great British writers. As well as Chaucer, Keats, Shakespeare, etc.
Why? Because their themes apply to the 21st century in new, brilliant ways. Literate people, who think, and then apply their thinking and learning to common sense in making a living do quite well.
If you are saying such is wasted and lacking for those who don't bind their higher education to common sense, why, yes, you are correct.
BS lies. You're still stuck with Fun with Dick and Jane.

And no doubt you use the following hand gestures, when in the middle of dissertations:
The only person in this country who is not have additional protection from the federal govt is the white male
The only person who has the power of the federal govt to serve "justice" in this country with a Hispanic on black event is Trevon
Poor kid should have just told the man what he was up to
There are no winners in those events yet 3 black on black murders have occured in Chicago sense Sat night
but how many black on white events go without notice?
Black on Black?
Hell vilonce and death is color blind people
When does race not matter?
What will it take to stop this insanity?
and why would any-one listen to Jackson or Sharpton?

There really isn't anything contradictory in her interview and her testimony, except that she was engaging in a lot more speculation about what was going through Trayvon's mind in the interview. (Something she was NOT allowed to do on the stand, lest the lawyers object.)
She testified that Trayvon thought Martin was a "Creepy ass Cracker" stalking him. You guys were all too focused on the word "Cracker" to realize that, hey, maybe this kid had a reasonable fear when being chased down by a larger man.

As a woman, and one who has seen the seedier side of life where women are horribly abused, I often ask myself that. Now this misogynist media, moaning about an 'all female' jury brings the question back. At first, it was 'they're all emotional women, they will convict an innocent man because a child is dead and they are mothers.' Now, it 'they are all women and they just don't think right.' You can stuff it. You are just as prejudiced as anyone, and you are just another black who has outed himself on here.
