Because the inverse is also true, if he is found guilty, the message could be: Even if you are not committing a crime, the mob can determine your fate with a little bit of propaganda.

Reading all the posts and commentary about hate and negativity on here just made my bout of diarrhea this morning even worse
I really want to know why these threads are considered hate. Did any of us make those tweets? Has anyone stated that people of an African heritage are somehow inferior? If the simple mention of Zimmerman / anything dealing with blacks is taboo to ATS staff then simply do not allow these types of threads.

what propoganda
what are you talking about???
only propaganda i see is comming from the defence
oh... this is another case of closet racism....
didnt the young man get shot
didnt the suspect ignore orders to leave him
there was no clear case of self defence...
he followed and hunted the boy... then shot him
how on earth did you lot manage to spin the story???????????????????????????
subconcious racism dude... zimmermann is guilty of murder... only case here is if it was self defence...making it manslaughter...
clear cut case...why do you lot try and cloud judgement based on zero facts

Originally posted by ProfessorChaosFirst of all, I'd appreciate you not trying to lump me into a 'lot'. I am by no means a 'closet racist'. I am in an interracial marriage as a matter of fact, and my 6 month old son is bi-racial.
I was merely pointing out the flaw in your statement, no need to reply with a personal attack by calling me a racist.

ok
but while the case is on... there is no room for theoretical metaphors
there is no mob propoganda.... in such a clear case... call it civil demands.
fact is..there should be no time for people to consider zimmerman as "misunderood" in anyway
the young man isnt here to defend himself...
zimmerman is lucky to be from a civil country...so dont abuse the system..especially for a character like that.. one that could of been served street justice long ago...
Ummm...Indeed...and of couse not. I really try not to be naieve and have often reflected on human nature. I would also not try to argue that human nature can be seperated so much from our genetic heritage...(by our, I mean humanity as a whole and not racial specific)...We are not so far removed from that heritage, that we can arbitrarily set it aside and stroll into some...lambs laying down with lions...vision.

Hate will never stop, but maybe, just maybe, we can make it so that it isn't accepted so much.

It is a old term that comes from the crack of the whip used for describing caucasians.

First thing I noticed when I read that information is how these people destroy the english language. I have no idea what is a "cracka". I don't want to know it neither.
That shows me their cultural level, we can't ask better comments from them.
....And english is not my first language.

Double standard. Paul Deen got in trouble for saying the 'n' word. But people are giving Trayvon Martin a free pass with his 'crazy ass cracker' racial slur.

You are wrong.
If someone see someone suspicious in their neighborhood, they have a right to follow that person.
The attacker, is the aggressor. If someone attacks another because they don't want to be followed, and gets killed by that other, who is acting in self defense against an attacker, as in the GZ TM case, then the other is not guilty of a crime.
TM could just as easily called the police if he was really afraid of GZ, but all the evidence points to TM deciding he had the right to jump GZ.
At this point, it looks like GZ will be acquitted, or it will be a hung jury. A hung jury will be the worse case scenario.
Will their be riots. Big media, and big corporations want the riots, but I don't think there will be.
I think most people see the truth. GZ acted in self defense.

I bet you have never been walking home alone as a teenager on a rainy evening...have you added the idea of fear in there somewhere. I sure would not want someone following my teen in such a situation. As far as the attack if the boy had a knife or some weapon in the situation it would at least lean "a little" toward being up to no good instead of just scared and worried.
As far as calling for help in this instance please remember your teen years...now maybe you had some unhappy interactions with the law enforcement. Would you call police? What would you do honestly no race involved but be a teen alone in the rain in the evening coming home from the store for a moment.
