I don't think either of them are racially motivated. Breaking and entering is always considered willful and malicious not to mention shows prior intent. Also Zimmerman got bail because bail is not ever to be considered a punishment. Bail is used to force individuals to come back to court, as opposed to fleeing the country or just running off into hiding.
Good Lord! I've read some pretty stupid questions on this topic, but your takes the prize...... what a pity you don't have the mentality to figure it out. In the Z/M case, 2 guys, 11 yrs apart & both young, were outside and where one could get away from the other. In the elderly couple murder case, the predator was 20 yrs old and they were in their mid 80's ... getting the pix yet? He had them trapped w/no where to go and not the strength to fight him off. He beat and raped the 86 yr old defenseless woman.... what? You don't think that's 'heinous' enuf for you? He beat the old man and later the man died..... He beat, raped and murdered 2 old defenseless people who were not following him, threatening him..... and who knows whether this savage chose them b/c they were white or m/b just b/c they were old and not strong enuf to fight him off..... Gawd, you're really something.....
This black woodorf guy is going down on a death penalty ... you can bet on that ... even I'm behind it all the way ... I like the way white-black-hispanic Zimmerman is coddled as if he's to be shown sympathy for his murder ... Quite bizzare.
Seems like this story is still developing and we don't know all the details. Sorry, I don't comment on things of this nature without all the facts.
Don't bother with that. I'll probably just end up making some kind of bland and generic comment about how tragic the whole thing is.
I think this thread is still here and not in Race Relations because I immediately jumped on the Zimmerman-bent that the OP had to usher-in to make the comparison so to in fact keep it here in current events .... You ever been over to the Race Relations board ? Serious racists over there.
You DO realize that I have it within my power of prose to literally turn you into a laughing stock,any which way Plus loose. But then the Mods are preordained to stint such postings as to their uber orders from above.I dunno maybe Yahoo or some Cass Sustein ultimatum.
"Whiteys"? Well, at least you're finally admitting to being a full-blown racist. If you can't see the difference in these crimes - well, you have a serious problem...
I like being called whitey...I used to call my son Whitey Johnson when he was a little towheaded kid...
Ohhhh, I'm sure. It's gotta be great if this board is any indication. Does no one get that sane people are not out committing acts of homicide and rape? Are these thinking, planning people that are raping old people and murdering them? NO! So why not old couple killed by crazed murderer?
