Test at the 98+ percentile in every metric of human capacity to remember and/or decipher the answer determined most correct out of a possible 5.
When I was 8, I was among groups that were exploring problem solving solutions to various cutting-edge engineering problems and complex social/political problems involving the agricultural capacity of third world nations.
I consider my mind to be relatively basic and unremarkable.
The guy is a complete racist, both his brother and mother too.
He works with black children as part of community outreach programs.
His own sister and ex girlfriend spoken out against him.
Really, now. They did?
How stupid do you feel not for defending someone like that?
Let's say I do feel stupid. How do you feel, knowing that you'll never out-score me on any rating of intellectual performance?
nvm you might be racist yourself, the fact that you bloody told me, if i wear a hood, i should be consider a gang banger, again...that is the stupidest thing ever heard. So, If my daughter wear Denim Short -Blue jeans, or anyone daughter i guess i people should look at them an call them a ***** right?
If the shoe fits.
Why do guys hit on girls who wear revealing clothing? Because it's perceived that they are advertising - that they want to be looked at, and want to be pursued.
That doesn't mean she's a ***** - but neither you nor her can really get upset when guys start making passes on her when she starts wearing denim panties over her thong.
Same with the hoodie. If you've got a lot of gang/thug activity around the area (or have had a recent series of break-ins) - then hoodies are going to be a relatively negatively perceived wardrobe choice.
That's just the way it is. Perception is reality.
The 911 called, what he said on the call, and the fact that he has a history of police assault, abusive behaviors towards his ex girlfriend and according to his sister, has a history of Racism, how can you tell me this shit wasn't about race? Get real.
I've seen the evidence and trial. Race wasn't nearly the factor that you want to make it to be.
About the most valid criticism of Zimmerman is that he had a bad habit of approaching issues somewhat overzealously.
Which the same can be said of Martin.
They both have a streak of the "tough guy" mentality in them with opposing alignments. Put the two together and it's going to get ugly.
What the **** are you suppose to tell your kid if their being Stalk by someone who isn't an officer???
Are you suppose to fight back or not suppose to fight back???
I'm going to teach my kid that fighting back is the last choice because of incidents like this; to contact myself, his mother, uncles, friends, etc. Then, to evade and make his way to a public place (local shopping center, park, some place with people).
if you fight back he can execute you and everyone thinks your guilty and if you don't you get killed anyway.
Zimmerman wouldn't have shot Trayvon if he hadn't started bashing his head into the concrete.
He was the one stalking ffs. Did trayvon think he will take on a gun??? You have to be monumentally stupid to believe that.
You're speaking in fragments, here.
Does it matter what you think someone has, in terms of armament?
What if Zimmerman didn't have a firearm? He'd likely be dead from having his head repeatedly slammed into the concrete. And you wouldn't have heard about this case. Just like you don't hear about the cases where 8 black guys beat a man to death and walk, or cases of black-on-black crime.
Perhaps that's something to think about. Consider that, with concealed carry permits, someone -might- just waste you when you step too far out of line.
How about that? Consequences for one's actions....
The idiot told the jury he had to follow the boy "he was moving unusually slow"
You do realize that he suspected Martin of 'casing' the neighborhood for places to break into, right?
Thus, moving 'unusually slowly' would be a qualifier for that. He appeared to be taking his time to scope out houses.
Zimmerman went after martin, willingly and armed. you can not blame random people for not doing anything. the only person responsible is Zimmerman, as he was the aggressor.
*shakes head*
A girl goes to a bar and gets drunk. She gets raped and uses a firearm to kill the man raping her.
It was her fault, right? She should go to jail for murder?
Identical logic applied.
Zimmerman say "****ing punks, they always get away"<------------Seriously? Open your eyes.
The neighborhood had recently been the target of a series of break-ins conducted by youths.
And what Zimmerman said is the truth. Most burglaries are unresolved crimes. If you don't catch them in the act, you almost never catch them afterwards.
Zimmerman was expressing frustration at this.
Zimmerman shot Martin in self defense Why? Because Zimmerman followed and harassed Martin, Martin got angry over this and confronted Zimmerman, what we don't know is who physically attacked who first.
The lack of any physical injury to Martin, aside from the gunshot wound, would heavily suggest it was Martin who initiated the physical altercation.
The plain reality is
you believe what you believe because you did before the trial began ,because a Zimmerman told you ..and that's good enough..yes he punch him what would you do if someone follows you and tried to DETAIN you..pull down your pants and bend over???
Zimmerman didn't try to detain anyone.
You're making that assumption up out of thin air.
The conflict was simple enough to resolve:
"Hey, what the hell are you doing?"
"Whoa! Chill, man. I'm just walking home."
"Oh, really, you live around here?"
"What are you, some kind of cop, or something?"
"Neighborhood watch."
"Look, I'm staying with some of my family over there. If you're that worried about it, they'll set this all straight."
"I'd rather just wait for the police."
"... Okay... what the hell... let's wait for the police less than a block away from my house. That's only going to take an hour. Mind if I take a nap on the grass, over here?"
