Monk,

I like you, but I think you are overly moved by the media. The mainstream media is proving itself to be whores who want nothing but sensationalism. Trayvon was not a good kid. He did not focus on school, rather screwing around. I fail to see the dilemma.

I understand he's black, but that does not give him a free pass.

Any other questions?

You wanna mention Black Panthers, well how about the many white supremacist groups that are known to the government, they far out number the black movement, funny how those NEVER get mentioned.

Funny, you people don't have a clue as to what happened either and you all are saying good for Zimmerman, he protected himself. Were you people there, NO, only two people were, one isn't saying a word and they other is dead.

Like I thought, nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

It's funny, no one has answered my question yet, why is that, because you don't know the answer, none of you do, nor will you ever because that coward Zimmerman won't answer to the public.
Justice is not convicting a man prior to any charges being filed or a trial taking place. Let the police and DA get their shit straight and file charges if they have the evidence to back it up. Right now, it looks like the evidence is pointing in favor of Zimmerman or he would already be behind bars waiting for a trial.

This would be such a non issue if it was black killing a black or a white killing a white and if y'all think any different you're lying to yourselves. There wasn't even this much controversy in here when whatshertits got off scott free from murdering her own daughter last year.

Here's the facts.

Wannabe cop patrolling neighborhood
Call goes into 911
Dispatcher says "back off and let the police handle it"
Dead boy

WTF didn't douchebag follow instructions, why was there a confrontation?

All you armchair know nothing know it all's answer me those two questions I asked without getting off topic and I'll admit that I was wrong in my views on what happend.



Am I pissed off, yeah, damn rights I'm pissed off and not because of the color of the two people in question but because justice in this case will never be served.
Wow. You are beyond help.

Gotta say, this is the only thread, Monk, where i can honestly say you have gone off the deep end. I really do believe your take on the subject is f*cked up like a football bat.

Look up Castle Doctrine in FL. You'll see that deadly force is justifiable when a person feels there's a grave threat of bodily harm or death (and it's not really defined). If the facts of this case stand the way they are now, Zimmerman will not even be brought up on charges for defending himself even though the media, NBPs, and racists like Sharpton and Jackson have already convicted him.

Here are some more facts:
  • I took a nice 100 mile motorcycle ride this afternoon.
  • I didnt see a single black guy all afternoon.
  • I felt very safe.
  • I did see a Messican rockin' a donk.
  • He didnt shoot at me.
  • My hair looks fabulous.
  • I don't carry a gun because I have no need for one.
  • I don't care if you carry a gun even though you have no need for one either unless you're a LEO.

Care to try again?



I never said "good for Zimmerman". I have no idea what happened on that night. So far it seems to be that his story holds up. If that changes and he is guilty, he should be punished to the full extent of the law.

Unlike you, I am not making that judgement until all the facts are in.

...and what do you think would happen if a white supremacist group got on television and offered a reward for the killing of a black man like was done last week?

In case you missed it:


I can't even imagine if a white man made comments like these.

    Take off those rose-colored glasses and see the world as it really is.

    Can I say colored here?

  • I felt very safe.

    That one guy was gonna rob you, but he didn't because he saw a third-grader standing right behind you (who seemed more of a threat than you), got a-scared, and left.

  • I did see a Messican rockin' a donk.


    It was a burro, acshuwally... not a donk.


  • He didnt shoot at me.

    He was shooting at the third grader.

  • My hair looks fabulous.

    Is that hair gel?


  • I don't carry a gun because I have no need for one.

    You don't need one, until you do. That's the tricky part, see... knowing when you are gonna need it. Sure hope for you and your family's sake that your betting on never needing one continues to pan out.


  • I don't care if you carry a gun even though you have no need for one either unless you're a LEO.

    We're good, thanks. Good luck to you. You're probably gonna need it, if you ever find yourself needing a gun and not having it. Try working on your gag reflex.

Neither of these two innocents was a LEO.

I guess they didn't need a gun, since they weren't LEO's, or anything.

No quoted text, just a link. What happened to them is just too horrible to quote.

I haven't convinced myself that a gun safety class, a half dozen trips to the range shooting paper targets and a shiny new pistol is going to prepare me for an actual confrontation when surrounded by thugs in a dark ally.

But, you know everything Clark, don't you?

I apologized to you in a PM. I even went back, on my own conscience, and cleaned up the thread.

You accepted my apology, too. Did you not mean that?

If you want an apology in an open thread, consider this to be just that. I was way out of line and I do regret saying what I did to you and to your wife.

It would certainly level the playing field a bit, though, now... wouldn't it?

Not sure where this came from, either.

Thomas, I have no problem whatsoever with your (or anyone else's) choice to not arm themselves. Seriously. I really don't.

My posts were merely to point out the fact that in the incredibly unlikely event that you would ever need a firearm to protect yourself, having it would be a world of difference between what could happen if you didn't.

So long as someone who chooses not to carry a firearm never tries to prevent me or anyone else from being able to exercise our 2nd Amendment rights, I welcome you to make your own decisions about what to do yourself.

That all depends on what they had in mind, I suppose. Did you read what they did to the guy in the Wiki link I provided you? The guy would have gotten off easy if that's all he had to do.


(Just saw your edited post where you added this part, so I thought I'd respond.)

Agreed. But you'll never convince me the general population NEEDS to carry a firearm in their day to day life. If some punk were to pull a gun on me and decides he want's my watch, or my Cadillac, I'm giving it to him. Simple as that. It's just stuff.

Furthermore, as I stated in an earlier post, shooting a paper target in Saturday afternoon is a long way from shooting a human being in a dark alley on Saturday night.

Let me go on record AGAIN for the morons who will most surely take me to task over my PERSONAL thought's on guns: I fully support the 2nd Amendment. But you can't argue backwards.
