    Its funny you talk about people's bias then you call one a kid and the other a nearly 30 year old. To be fair you could have said a nearly 20 year old and a nearly 30 year old.

    Are you denying one was a minor and the other had been an adult for 10 years?

    Why would I do that? Would it be OK for me to characterize Trayvon Martin as a nearly 20 year old and Zimmerman as a young man?

    Martin was 17 an adult male, not an 12 year old as some want to characterize

    No. Martin was 17, Zimmerman 28. One, by law, was a minor the other was not. Zimmerman was freed by the law. What is your point?

    my point is you railed on peope's bias and then you show your bias in your word choice.

    at 17 he is a minor not an adult. but your point about how he was being portrayed as a small child is taken.

    How hard is it? Seriously. These kids were arrested immediately and then charged. They will then be found guilty. Do you get the difference now? I hope so, and the rest of us can be spared reading these sorts of brain cell killing threads from now on.

    Was my word choice wrong? Inaccurate? Please point where it was if you think so.

    Yet many states consider it statutory rape if a 28 year old screws a 17 year old. http://www.cga.ct.gov/2003/olrdata/jud/rpt/2003-r-0376.htm

    Are you trying to say the law ain't fair?

    An MMA ground & pound isn't exactly "minding his own business", and it's a whole lot more than necessary even if Zimmerman had been the stater of the fight (which we don't know). ALso, we don't know that Martin was "doing nothing wrong". He could have been casing those apartments with the idea to pick one out to burglarize. We do know he had been involved with burglaries prior to that, in Miami.

    MMA is some crap started by the SPD and how do you know that it was enough. Obviously it wasn't since Zimmerman shot and killed him.

    You come up with that half ass assumption because he was black.

    Really? Show me the arrest records from those previous burglaries.

    If there were 3 'white' kids beating up a 'black' kid, history shows that Al Sharptongue and Jessie Jackoff would be trying to blackmail any 'deep pockets' for $$$$$. That is what they do.

    While your statement is true, I fail to see how it is relevant to the fact the three kids were in the wrong and will likely be spending time in juvie for their crimes.

    17 year olds are hardly "children". Martin was a man at 17. He acted like a man. He made a man's choice and acted against another man.

    As noted earlier, if Zimmerman had sex with a 17 year old girl, he'd probably be in jail for statutory rape.

    Yes, the law is flawed when it comes to the arbitrary line between 17 year olds and 18 year olds. It's also flawed in that an armed man can pursue an innocent person, end up shooting them and walk away free of the consequences.

    Life isn't fair. :(

    Funny how a 17yr old can't do anything without his parent's consent. Sounds like a child too me. He was put in a man's situation once he was being pursued by a coward with a gun.

    Really, give us two examples where they have done this.

    that's the problem.... its a double standard of the "equal rights" crowd. if everything about this story was the same... but the races were reversed.... Al and Jesse would be lobbying for hate crime charges.

    it's only relevant because if the races were reversed.... the charges would be more severe for the 3 kids if they had been white.


    hardly equal.

    Zimmerman case had nothing to do with race...but it was turned into it because it met an agenda.

    Can you post where he was arrested for that crime.

    Kids can smoke weed, crack, they can snort, take needles, etc. doesn't make them an adult.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Actually they would be lobbying if the 3 white kids weren't arrested that committed the crime.

    Doubtful no matter what Sharpton and Jackson say. In fact, statistics show quite the opposite, but that's sometimes hard to discern since it may be more about differences in economic class rather than race.

    no, if they were arrested, just like happened for the black kids, they would STILL be lobbying for hatecrime additional charges.


    it's not about "equality" for al and jesse, it's about gaining as much political power for revenge for percieved injustices.
