Here is my thing about his twitter.. If you peruse some 30 yr old timelines (mine included) you will find some ratchetness. His TL looks like a normal 17 year old's TL. folks need to calm down.
The atheists are more rude, the conspiracy theorist are more bold, the liberals whine louder, the conservatives are exponentially more stupid, black folks are more ignant, white folks are far more casual with their racism, everything that already existed, exists in Twitter without filter.
There is nothing they can say about Trayvon that isn't applicable to EVERYONE else there.

Hey Cold, I hear what you're saying about the law not being the problem, but I think it is... at least combined with the apparent perpetual "fear" of black people. It's like self-fulfilling prophecy... some will always be afraid of us, and thus will always meet the criteria of "fearing for their lives"
I am sad to report to you that "the next Trayvon" may have already happened.
www.hlntv.com/article/2012/03/27/wisconsin-death-unarmed-black-youth-draws-trayvon-martin-comparisons
And it's going to keep happening as long as they're allowed to used deadly force based on their fear. I would have shot him twice. No way this compares to Trayvon. This kid was WRONG. On a strangers back porch at night = Stupid Running at homeowner = Darwinesque Running at homeowner with a gun = Darwin Award. |

I'm not reading where he ran at the homeowner, or where he had a gun. I read his hands were raised and he was unarmed. Where did you get the rest of that additional information? Fixed it.
I'm starting to understand why Maryland has the rule it has about when you can discharge a firearm. Shooting someone who has not breached nor is in the process of breaching your house is an act of cowardice or an act of bravado (or a combination or both) IMO. It's a person that wants to shoot someone else, not someone who is protecting himself |

Again where does it say he ran at him? Are folks really this eager to shoot other people?

If you are on my BACK, ENCLOSED porch, you are in my house. If you are in my house when I am at home, AT NIGHT, I am NOT trying to ascertain why you are there. Two COM, One to the head. |

This case is really hitting me hard. It is like my personal modern day Rosewood of sorts.
The way Rosewood makes me feel each time after watching it on tv is how I am starting to feel each time I hear anything about the Trayvon Martin case.
I don't want to be this angry or cynical. I don't. But I cannot help it. Such an INJUSTICE.

^^^ I stated earlier its like watching Rosewood on repeat.
As much as I want to believe dude will be arrested and soon... there is just a lingering feeling that he may get away with this...
It hurts.

[Rush font]I am still irritated that we arethis outraged about Trayvon and never organize to protest the thousands of Black kids killed across the country every year, often times by other Black people. [/Rush font]
I mean a 3 year old girl was shot in the stomach by her uncle here the other day and died and not one comminuty activist had anything to say about that. Don't get me started on the daily murders in Chicago...

and i'm sure her uncle is in jail too...
Here is my thing.. I think that the whole "why aren't we protesting Black on Black violence" is cop out agrument.
Yes, we should be outraged at all forms of violence and I think we are...
this situation though... this. mutha. effin. situation. right . here.
this is just a fiery ball of effery and IDAFism that must have a loud and active voice against it.
This man should have been arrested and charged. Plain and simple.

This man should have been arrested and charged. Plain and simple. Exactly Reign. The outrage in this case (at least for me) is due to the fact that the shooter was not and has not been arrested. Had he been arrested, this would have been a non-story. |

So they've appointed the prosecutor who put a 13 year old on trial for capital murder (code for she's "tough on crime") to the case and she'll make a decision in the next three days based on some new evidence. I wonder of anything she says short of Zimmerman is being charged with capital murder (which he won't because it wasn't premeditated) will satisfy the masses. If he murdered Trayvon because he's a vigilante zealot rather than a racist prick would that make a difference in how the case is viewed? I argue that to many it would.

I think he's alive and well. Oh and as for his "attorneys"....they've never met with him in person, he won't return their calls, they don't speak for him, he talks to the prosecutor without them.....not even sure those bamas were ever hired by him but they were definitely FIRED by him.

But, could one argue "premeditated" though? Zimmerman was oreded by a 911 official to stop following Trayvon. He ignored that order, kept his pursuit and now this young man is deceased. |

Not sure if even a change a venue would help this case. How are you going to find a non-tainted jury pool.
