c'mon...seabag....you don't think those concerns are being considered by black families that have teenage boys?
and your comment about "stoking the flames"???.....FOX has been promoting the advent of riots for over a week now, and so has rush slimeball on his radio show...i'm not on national media, they are.
I said... he could have REACHED for it! Pull up the shirt, Martin sees the gun, WHAM in the face... broken nose.

The accelerated sensationalization of near non-existent protests over the results of a trial that should never have happened feels like a massive distraction effort.

Don't play into it.

Nice! I hope you make it back soon! I bet the DHS had the tanks gassed up and ready to roll had the RIOTS they wanted actually happened. Their racial divide and conquer tactics aren't as effective as they once were.

so now zimmerman can sue the martin family?
facts: their son was an under-aged visitor on private property and attacked the property owner while he was left alone and unsupervised by his parents.
The parents have nobody but themselves to blame for their son`s death, they did a horrible job of raising him and they deserve to be sued not only by zimmerman but also by the community association.
neither the father nor the mother nor the son owned property in that community, the only legal resident of that community was the fathers girlfriend, whom they were visiting.

So you figure a street wise guy like Martin would see Zimmerman brandish a firearm with, at the moment, what would be obvious intent to threaten if not more, and he'd just take him to the ground and start punching him? He wouldn't try to gain control of the firearm which provoked him, in your version here, but would ignore it entirely to try and "out-man" a gunman? That makes absolutely NO sense...
Aside from the fact the eyewitness who watched a good part and end of the fight never reported seeing a gun. So one wasn't being fought over from the word go, by any means. He described seeing Trayvon straddle him and beat him from above. Those aren't the actions of a person who KNOWS there is a gun within a foot of him and NOT under his own control.
I think it's absurd to suggest the gun came into it before we know it did ...as not only does evidence not support it, evidence directly contradicts that version from being likely at all.edit on 15-7-2013 by Wrabbit2000 because: (no reason given)
