It's really not okay the way a few revolting voices on RnF turn the whole thing into a bigoted, hateful mess.

The POTUS knows about law, which is why I'm baffled by his statements. It has nothing to do with race, color, or whatever - it's what the law friggen says and its interpretation.

e.g. perv shoots of a photo up a girl's skirt. yeah, it's wrong but the perv broke no law. She was in a public place and there is no expectation of privacy in public. -- think about that. If you want the LAW changed, YOU have to get involved.

President should know this better than most... Now as that applies to stand your ground - if you're that upset about the verdict, get involved and change the law.

So mad about this horrid reaction from the POTUS - way to put fuel on the fire.

So are you mad that the President isn't getting involved enough, or mad that he's getting involved at all..?

What was the up-skirt peeping reference about? If the President thought that Stand Your Ground laws were wrong (the jury was advised to take the law into consideration-- so despite what some people have said on these boards, the jury did consider the law in this case), shouldn't he get involved to see that such state laws are repealed? Are you saying it's just totally wrong for a President to get involved in a huge news story? What about Terri Schiavo, for example? This sort of thing happens literally all of the time, because the President is the figurehead of the United States. This was a huge international story.

Show us a picture of your stomach guarantee it has stretch marks from being a gigantic fat eslut.

Even if everything nasty you've said about me lately were true (and lol you aren't even close!), it must piss you off that I still wouldn't give you a second look irl and that's even without knowing what you look like. You're a fucking idiot. Now go back to jerking off into your tiny baby-sized sock you lonely, pathetic, no-girlfriend-having, angry, basement dwelling loser.

Sorry for shitting up the thread with this nonsense, everyone.

President has WAY more important things to do than worry about a state law. The president understands how laws and the legal system works. He should have used a call to action to get Americans involved in local voting to repeal such laws, vice likening himself to Trayvon and adding fuel to what is completely NOT racial and making it racial.

The reference was about LAW. We all know it's wrong to do that peeping. Yet no law was broken. Much like stand your ground. Both sides made exercised bad judgment that resulted in a death, yet no law was broken.

This was a huge international story that was sensationalized by the media to draw in ratings. People die every day. People are shot every day. Here are some other examples of LAW working when adults shoot kids:

Black guy shoots a white kid:

Why were those not sensationalized?

The former wouldn't fuel white guilt and therefore wouldn't sell, anyone reporting on it would be labeled racist for picking and choosing to report on a black man shooting a white teen (teens?).
The latter is without question NOT self-defense and the similarities between this and the Zimmerman trial start and end with "Black teen shot and killed by 'white' male".

Have not read a single post in this thread because I don't find your opinions worth reading. Still, I'm so benevolent I will share a secret with your unwashed asses:

Obama's a politician, guys. His statements are a safe move, appealing to an important, fast-growing constituency and only irritating people who hate him no matter what he does due to their big-black-dick-envy.

Smart.

Look at all of the bitching, bickering, and worthless back and forth. Doesn't it feel like we are all being distracted by this shit that doesn't even matter? Seriously, does this case make your life any different? We are being dazzled by the lights while the shitty economy is still stagnant, NSA/IRS scandals going on, and the continual leakings of how screwed up the Affordable Healthcare Act is. So long as we are fighting each other about something so pointless, the real issues will remain under the rug.

Divide and conquer.
