I bet you were on the wrong side of history on that one, too.

"THEY WERE JUST DOING THEIR JOB..."

Let me guess, you only felt that way because he was black. If he was white you wouldn't give a fuck, in fact you'd probably sit back and HBB your way into an "about time" stance.

Don't taze me bro.

I was 9 years old in 1991 so no.

Nice try at shitty trolling since you gave up making shitty arguments that kept getting countered I guess?

I was six, doesn't mean I'm not allowed to read up on those events and have an opinion about them. Cops can be assholes, sometimes they can be worse.

King was a lowlife scumbag who provoked the cops in more ways than one.

That said, police brutality is a real thing and I prefer the cops getting in trouble for abuse of power.

FYI King died, from drowning, with like 4 different drugs (including PCP) in his system.

100% agree. So many people in this thread are projecting really hard.

Thanks for your post and your loyalty, long-time reader. This thread is ostensibly about Florida v. Zimmerman, a second-degree murder trial. Some analysis was offered early in the thread to clarify the burden of proof in this case and the strategy being employed by Zimmerman's defense. That was followed by critique of the witnesses for the prosecution, which have been collectively deemed somewhat shaky.

That intelligent discussion devolved, unfortunately, into accusations and denials of racism, followed by arguments over what words mean, and, ultimately, into the typical RnF personal attacks and generic insults. As always, the people who want to argue about the meanings of words tend to be careless with their own word selection. So far, no one has invoked Hitler.

The loudest voices seem to think that Zimmerman should be legally acquitted and that he has on solid moral and ethical grounds as well; some go so far as to hope that he gets rich from publishing and defamation lawsuits. Personally, I've been too busy to follow the case, so I'm abstaining from the conversation.

Hope this helps!

So, the standard of justice is that you have to be the most upstanding member of your community and have a squeaky clean history in order to be protected by the law. You can say, "It's not that polar!" but you're utilizing a selective double-standard that honestly does not make sense.

George Zimmerman has very, very little credibility (several run-ins with the law, assaulting a cop, literally hiding money from the court, restraining order filed against him, etc.), and he's the one actually on trial, bud. Trayvon is not on trial, despite what this thread has been derailed into positing. The victim of a crime is not on trial, and it is not their responsibility to prove anything. It's the burden of the state prosecutors to prove something-- but that doesn't mean that the victims of said crime have to prove they're worthy of justice or something...

Your bias is showing. It's not been shown that Trayvon was the victim of a crime. Referring to him as such denotes the guilt of Zimmerman.
