plagiarism, tho

Yeah, surprised they put on 2 people at once to basically say the prosecution had no chance of getting a conviction and the defense was actually the side to present all the evidence in the case.

He should have stopped at my heart goes out to the families and he'd let the legal process play out. The whole if i had a son bit was unnecessary and he should have known better.

...because...that might have reminded people that he was black? How dare he!

The President isn't allowed to express personal sadness for the death of a teenager? That makes it about race?

Uh, yeah. He hasn't hesitated to use his race to win elections. He should have known the effects of such a statement, no matter how heartfelt it was.

Yeah, I'm going to need an example of this.

Does Obama make any further comment now that the case is over? Should he?

Wow, Newt Gingrich spewing truth. Never thought I'd say that.

of course, because he's only 1/2 Black means he's full Black.

Good thing Whites don't use race to win elections...(or pass legislation). But that's somehow different.

See spending patterns in 2012 election, or his campaign literature

Lol will your world have an official number of times head must hit concrete before you are allowed to fear death or brain injury?

I personally know a guy who got involved in a road rage dispute. Guy punched him once in the face, he fell backwards, hit his head on the blacktop, and died. One punch, one contact with the cement. Many other similar stories I am sure.

Yet you somehow want to be the arbiter of when someone's life is actually in danger.

What effects? Pissing off racists and right wing radio morons?

Just now reading about the TM text messages.

They show that it's far more likely that TM started the fight. He was an experienced fighter who fights on a regular basis. He talks about viciously beating people and his older brother wanted him to teach him how to fight.

How were these not admitted?

lol

it reminds people how oppressed White people are.

b

I meant specific examples. I mean, some of his campaign literature does show a black guy. Is that all you mean?

to clarify this, right now he needs to have a reasonable belief that he is at risk of serious injury, even if he's wrong about his belief. so you're saying he did not have this reasonable belief, or you're saying that you think this standard is too low? if you don't think that he had a reasonable fear of serious bodily injury -

-this is an individual he does not know, who he suspects may be prowling, then this person began to assault him
-he was mounted, taking blows for 40+ seconds
-during this time he was screaming for help repeatedly and desperately
-someone came out and told trayvon to stop because the police were coming and he did not
-trayvon possibly saw his gun, told him he was going to die, struggled for gun

let's take this for a given for the time being. do you find that, given this situation, it is not reasonable to fear serious bodily harm? if not, what more do you think needed to happen?

A 7 year old could have hacked his two passwords and sent those texts, ldo.

Not sure how they show he's so much more likely to start the fight. That's speculation. Perhaps at most they suggest that someone in a fight with TM could have reasonably feared great bodily harm.

I,for one, would like to see Obama's sober assessment of the evidence and what he would deem a proper verdict.

As a lame duck his courage should be bolstered.

I think the standard is way too low. In other states, this case wouldn't have gone down like this.

Please, please tell me you aren't a judge.

lol just terrible

It's fairly amazing how much sympathy such a massive ******* as TM has engendered.
