Zimmerman kills and walks, but the Black woman facing 20 years? SYG double standard

Yep, all those previous break ins sure helped.

 

Whoever was doing it, Zimmerman maniacal mannerisms were building up. he was a powderkeg of ignorance waiting to explode. and he took his anger out on Trayvon.

 

Can you prove that, or is it just a guess?

 

If This woman was a white hispanic like Zimmerman Im sure it would be ok then.

 

Marissa Alexander, 31, had been convicted of three counts or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Alexander, who is African American, has said she fired the gun in the August 2010 incident as a warning to her husband, Rico Gray, 36. Gray’s two sons were in the room at the time, but no one was injured.


Congresswoman,” Corey replied, “I showed her mercy when I sat down with her … .” Again, noise drowned out her comments.

Corey also explained how a second confrontation between Alexander and Gray led to her recent conviction and Friday’s sentencing. After the shooting, Alexander was released on bond and ordered to stay away from Gray. A few months later, Corey said, she went to Gray’s home and “gave him a black eye” — and later denied to police she had been at the residence.
Alexander could not be offered probation in the shooting case because she had violated a judge’s order, Corey said. The prosecutor again mentioned that Alexander had been offered an alternative to a 20-year sentence.

“We offered her three years,” Corey said, adding that the offer was available right up to the time Alexander opted for a jury trial.


Apparently the only people in danger, were in danger FROM HER.

But feel free to try to "race pimp" the entire affair...BTW what RACE are the people the state protected from her?

 

What a stupid thread.W

 

I did and the judge told her to stay away from him, but she disregarded his orders and went to the abuser's house anyway and assaulted him.... which made it worse for her....

A woman who's being abused and get's away from that crap, which she did, does not go to the abuser's home whether she wants to assault him or not - she stays away! The courts are there to protect her, but she went looking for trouble anyway..... and she also turned down a plea bargain 2 x's.......

I'm on the side of the abused woman, but this one isn't very bright..... to shoot a gun inside a home where there are others/kids, it sounds like she's out of control.....

I don't think she should get 20 yrs - more like m/b 5 w/therapy.....

Also, this case is far different from the Z/M case......

 

Exactly right. Really abused women don't go looking for the guy to beat him up .... well, if she's an amazon, I guess she would get her licks in, but generally the women stay far away from him... and that's what the judge told her to do & she didn't listen.

 

I tho't this thread was about the woman? .... instead you're going off on a bloody tangent about Martin & Zimmerman, making another Z/M thread.....

Why don't you calm down and wait for the trial?

 

Both cases are exactly alike in that both people with the gun:

1. disregared orders from authorities
2. did their own brand of vigilante-style justice
3. were the aggreesor/instigator


BUT the Black chick gets 20 yrs??????? I mean that's harsh for a warning shot. she should've gotten no more than probation and a firearm saftey course and maybe a short house arrest.

BUT Zimmerman KILLS a little boy dead and admits it and is about to get off with probation, gun saftey course and MAYBE a medal of honor from the community that spawned him.


Talk about no-justice for black people?


but...it's the American Way

 

I know the truth hurts but we have to deal with it.

 

Just remember that though a man died in Zimmerman's case, and one did not in the woman's case ...does not mean that Zimmerman was 'guilty'. It just means that there was indeed a double standard based on GENDER; not on RACE.

The article you cited is correct that the woman was trying to protect herself and and her family from further harm. Yet she gets 20 years (when no one is killed), and Zimmerman gets off (which means the jury found him not guilty).

The fact is this case is just one more example of how throughout the US, women are often handed harsher penalties for daring to stand against their attackers (be they known or strangers).

Double Standards = The American Way

 

When are all the misquotes and emotional responses to the Zimmerman thing going to end. Are there really so many without the ability to cipher? It is NOT against the law to follow somebody. It is NOT against the law to carry a firearm if you are within the parameters of local law. It is NOT against the law to have a rap sheet IF in fact he has one. Neither Trayvon nor Zimmerman broke any laws UNTIL Trayvon smashed Zimmermans nose. As for portraying Trayvon as a child, the media insisted on using pictures of him when he was 14 in order to stir the pot for ratings and fuel a racial fire. It is not about age and old pictures. It is about size and phyisical ability. Look at this from a realistic perspective. Let's just say Trayvon didn't smash Zimmermans nose, mount him and start beating on him. Are you saying he would be dead today? Trayvon's actions led to his own demise. I beleive in a civilized society if you think there might be a problem with something you're supposed to dial 911. Arent you? Well lets see, we know that Zimmerman was on the phone with police, hardly the actions of a pre meditated murderer. Was Trayvon on his phone calling 911 because he fealt he was in jeapordy? No he was on the phone with his friend referring to Zimmerman as a "cracker". .. Oh wait, I forgot, thats not a racial comment if a black person makes it. Only whites can be prejudiced.

 

Miss Bree is cute, too

 

Hard to believe this thread surfaced again. Zimmerman wasn't an SYG situation in fact the two cases are not close to being similar.
