Yep. It's called misdirection. Whilst everyone is up-in-arms about one thing, the government is busy doing not so legal things and getting away with it.
Man, you are reaching and squirming all around the issue, .......the issue is the substance of Bookie's piece.....Her piece is a comprehensive account of the broad picture.....It is better worded and more detailed than anything I could ever surmise-- but it does reflect my thinking.......Now, until you can read to educate your self to be able to concede or refute her arguments, this petty back and forth is a waste of time.....Now again, I ask you to read to see if you can deny any of the underlined points she makes:
The 13% I noted is based off the addum information I volunteered to Jaisee (that he didn't ask for). I was comparing the disparity that when a Black person kills a Black person, they get off 60% of the time. When a White person kills a Black person, they walk 73% of the time. Of course you are correct to use the 26% when/if viewed from the disparity when a Black kills a White, versus a White killing a Black. I agree with you. Every case is different, every defendant and his victim is different along with the scenarios - and all of them reflect why a walk or a conviction number is added. It would be an interesting examination though, and to keep an open mind that it may provide awareness of facts that we may find surprising, or not.
Yes, because character assassinations only ever happened in this case? Forget about the character assassinations that happen to every woman who claims she was raped. And just because you view what happened a certain way does not mean that is the way it happened. God forbid George Zimmerman was actually telling the truth. No, that is definitely not a possibility because George Zimmerman is not black, so of course he's a liar and a racist. For the record, since I wasn't there and there weren't any witnesses, I'm choosing to not jump to conclusions. Yes, poor little white girl doesn't and can't understand. :roll:
Sir. I would appreciate if you would stop wasting your time and energy with your feeble attempts at trying to indoctrinate me into your way of thinking & viewing of the world. I repeat: Nothing that Bookworm expressed in her posts sways me in my opinion or views. Why do you keep insisting that if I read her post over & over again that somehow I will concede whatever "truth" that YOU see in her post? It's her opinion & you agree with it. I don't. What is your disconnect with this simple fact?
I bet you had no problem jumping to conclusions in the Casey Anthony case. I don't have to jump to anything you follow a minor (happy) with a loaded weapon you forfeit self defense period the end. Don't pull the poor little white girl bs. There are plenty of ww on here who aren't quick to dismiss this case like you. Good try though.
Trayvon weighed around 158lb. He was fighting a man that was 200 lbs. To put this into perspective, he weighed less than the average american woman. He wasn't going to win against a 200 pound man. Lebron james was 6'1 in 8th grade. Is this really how we make judgement on who is a child and who is an adult? Is there a height requirement to be an adult now? Even if I accept the fact that he did do this, that would mean that he was a scared child. People don't run if they aren't scared. Also, I can't understand how someone can say it isn't clear and yet decides to use GZ's transcript as the truth. We are all aware of the prejudice of the media. The media spent how many hours on Casey Anthony. How many people white, black and everything else had been murdered? This isn't new. same old same old I feel that Zimmerman made a call on either race or on how the kid was dressed but I feel that given this guy's record of battery on a police officer and domestic violence on a woman that he is not the guy with a gun to fear a boy.
So for the first time, you stayed on track in admitting you read or saw what it entailed... and you essentially reject it because you found no truth in it and because it goes contrary to your thinking........I just found it peculiar that as well crafted as I found it to be, that you personally, never attempted to refute her post directly.......
Sorry,I always question conservative data to make Mr.Z free and justified. I wonder on those stats of Black males minding their own business and being shot dead for no reason by Whites?
Just going by the evidence: Trayvon was measured at 5ft 11 and weighed 158 pds, with an estimation of half his blood lost. Zimmerman was weighed and measured that same night: 5ft 7 and 175pds. At his arrest 2 months later, he was measured at 5ft 8 and 200pds. He definitely profiled Martin, he even said it in his call to 911, telling the dispatcher they has a spate of recent break-ins. GZ's criminal record was covered in the trial: * He was charged with 'battery upon an officer' after arguing with a cop who arrested his friend, so the cop arrested GZ. Charge was later reduced to “resisting officer without violence”. * He and his ex filed co-restraining orders against each other, both were granted. I don't think he feared him either, otherwise why follow him? On the 911, he expressed concern to the dispatcher to give his address out because he 'didn't know where (TM) was'. After that, for 4 minutes we don't know what happened until the 911 calls by others began.
What is your malfunction? It's her opinion. I'm not trying to refute or concede anything. Unlike you I'm not in here debating anyone's points or trying to convince anyone that they are right or wrong in their opinions. Go find someone else who actually wants to engage you in this type of discussion because that's not me. Book smart & well read you may be but you seem real slow on the up take on a whole lot of things.
Stop addressing dude. His feelings about bm is well noted no matter what argument you have his mind will never change. Let dude live his truth I just hope he never finds himself at the mercy of his masters.
Like I said I'm not in here trying to change his or anyone else's mind on anything, but it's clear that's exactly what he's trying to do for whatever reason. It's like he's on some recruitment drive or something.....
I always looked at #19 from a different angle, but that's a pretty good point too. Either way, I love those two especially.
