Will this get the nationwide attention that Trayvon Martin got ?
need to direct this question to Barbara Rose Collins, Jo Ann Watson, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson or President Obama.....or Gov Jenny Granholm...Quote:

Again, what are you talking about?
2 young people had their civil rights violated. Why isnt Eric Holder investigating this matter???Quote:

I was quite right, folks! Black male in the hoodie and sexual pervert!
Travon Martin was a unarmed black teen killed by a white [[or Hispanic) man. These 2 unarmed white people were killed by a black man. Are their lives less important ? Less deserving of media attention ?Quote:

Exactly. Amen to that.
Absolutely nothing. Well, except for pointing out the clear bias placed upon certain issues by the media.Quote:

BS. When they drag their feet on pressing charges, the accused claims self defense, or the accused is judged not-guilty, get back to us.Quote:

I've already seen it in some newspaper comments.
Do you people comprehend just how shit in pants stupid you really look?

You're blind. It's sarcasm. It's basically the reverse. This case a black man, killed [[accused) two unarmed white people, and there is zero outcry in the national media. With Treyvon, an armed Hispanic man, killed an unarmed black man, media goes insane. I think that when people point it out its because they are tired of people being hypocrites. Example, the Treyvon killing was a huge deal in the media, to the point where there were some riots and mass protesting, yet in Detroit and Chicago, hundreds of young people are murdered yearly, yet the media couldn't give a shit.Quote:

NO ONE IS SAYING THE ASSWHIPE IN THE FAMILY DOLLAR KILLING IS INNOCENT OR SHOULDN'T BE PROSECUTED. In fact, to contrast... a white prosecutor in Florida didn't even want to bring charges against Zimmerman initially, a black prosecutor in the FD murder is EAGER to prosecute. Do you fools not see any differences at all? NONE? WOW!!!!Quote:

I'll refrain from any mean-spirited comments despite you being one of the more reactionary, disconnected & hostile pricks on this board.
You are just figuring out I am a prick, took you long enough! On the other hand there is bias on all sides. You just do not want to admit that-again your fantasy land. As for the court cases the judge in the case of the two individuals personally apologized for the verdict to us. What is the fantasy or emotion in that I would love to here your useless comeback on that. Also Roberson ended up being reversed so often he was forced to leave the bench. I am waiting for you inane comment on that. And last that fantasy brought about the reorganization of how capital crimes were handled in Wayne County and the federal car jacking statutes. I am waiting with bated breath for another insight that has no meaning at all. When it comes down to it you were called out and did not expect it so deal with it.Quote:

Thx 48205to24! The Florida law is the biggest problem. From what I understand the prosecutors had their hands tied but it also seems that they did not follow up on the lesser included offenses where they had a better chance to win.Quote:

My hope is that people will stop stereotyping others based on looks skin color/dress unless obviously outta place [[trench coat in school, ski mask in bank). Black kids with saggy pants are no worse than white kids with goth look and/or piercings or hispanic kids with tattoos and wife beaters or asian kids with brightly dyed hair or arab kids in religious garb and on and on.....
I just wish people-whatever color you are- who have these fears would just continue to cross the street or clutch their purse and keep their hateful thoughts to themselves then harassing strangers who are simply the same color or dress as those they are afraid of. Black kids would be less angry, goth/piercing kids wouldnt feel like outcasts, muslim/arab kids wouldnt feel ostracized and on and on......
As a woman, I am not afraid to walk past a group of men, if they say something out of this way. They may stop conversating but vary rarely are they rude. If they are I ask them would they say that to their mother. If I am at a gas station I am watchful in the burbs and city, I am watchful of everyone. Because while you are watching the black guys a white guy could get you and vice versa. While you are fearful or the person who looks low rent, the well dressed salesman is screwing you over.
In self defense class I was taught if someone is following, turn around and ask firmly WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME? This is supposed to through the perp off. Maybe thats what Trayvon was trying to do and it backfired...i dunno.
In high school catching the bus, I had instances where 'creepy' guys who struck up a conversation, got off at the same stop and seemed to be following me. I always selected stops where their were stores/public places nearby. In these cases, I would go to the public place and wait it out [[a couple of times the guy peeped through the windows) and I would get the clerk to come outside with me and point the guy out and say "THATS THE GUY THAT WAS FOLLOWING ME". Happened twice. Those guys ran and it worked. I would go on home. I didnt tell parents because I like the freedom of catching the bus and I thought I was grown.
Anyway, yea one of my soapboxes, if something did happen to me I wouldnt want people to be like, well what type of girl was she? Did she know this guy? How was she dressed? etc and on and on because of the actions of other teenage girls.
This guy deserves everything that is coming to him and he will get it.
Sorry for the soapbox, it just irks me that kids cant be kids because of adults.
Amen. Thank you for this post.Quote:

In the case of the 2 at the dollar store and my father is that they were ambushed and had no chance to defend themselves. Far more heinous than a couple of dumbass' getting into a tragic argument. You need to to take more than the pills the cool-aid is looking better for you. Although I have to say one thing if the roles had been reversed I would bet the farm you would be the highest one on the mountain yelling the loudest for white person's head!Quote:

What else could it be?
2. A black male wearing a hoodie represents a criminal.
Now if its a ski mask in summer, that different. Also what about white males who wear short shorts and flip flops in summer?
3. A white person wearing the white sheet and robe is a racist.
Even if it has holes in it for the eyes [[Django)
4. An extraterrestrial with either green or grey skin is an invader.
If these are ok? Which ones should we worry about?
5. A woman with flashy clothes walking down a ruined commercial district is a prostitute.
A woman has the right to rock her style, no matter what area she is walking through
6. A person wearing flashy skinny clothes hooking up with his mate wearing the like clothing is a homosexual.
Especially if his mate is female
7. A mother without a husband that produces many offspring produces wedlock children.
Which is a good thing
8. A black male wearing all red is part of the gang called the Bloods.
Now if those pants are tight and flooding, thats another story
9. A Black male wearing all blue is part of the gang called the Crips.
Beware if he is wearing white socks though
10. A black male walking through a all white middle class neighborhood wearing either a hoodie or gang attire is more likely to be profiled and be shot.
This may actually be true

It's not STEREOTYPICAL NONSENSE at all Danny. Those relating to personal safety like 2; 3; 8; 9 and 10 should be heeded or some day you might end up prematurely dead for being PC. My antennae only really relaxes when I'm amonst 4. If I see anybody in a hoodie I give them a special profile. The groups that are against stereotyping and profiling are those that give rise to the need for it. I don't care who stereotypes and profiles me for their own safety - white; shortish; bald; middle aged; handsome [[very); sandals; short shorts; no hoodie; no sheet; no danger; move on! I do keep a special eye out for 5.
I don't think you understand the word "stereotypical".Quote:

That happened here in Detroit but you are way to blinded by your ignorance to see that there is bias everywhere. Time for you to get a life. Also as it turned out the prosecutors knew what they were doing while those like you demanded action only to find out those in the know were right all along. I have grown tired of this since you are clueless time to go on to things that really matter BYE!
It would take a real idiot to not realize I was replying directly to somebody and the comment was made in relation to a specific case in a specific discussion.Quote:
