You're the one looking silly. Using the same arguments that trolls of the past have used on this thread.
17 year old black men get shot and killed everyday by other black men, this does not make national news, sometimes it won't even make the local news. That is the real tragedy in this case.

17 year old black men don't get shot and killed by other black men everyday in circumstances like those in this case.
I challenge you to find even one comparable example where a person with injuries as insignificant as Z's was released from custody before the id of the dead person was known.

... there are more striking examples, such as the case of the Japanese Student killing where the shooter was released immediately, without any injuries sustained during a perceived trespass/burglary, which was a tragic misunderstanding. Look ma, no injuries. The student who got killed was 16.
actually, it's fortunate for me but whatever.
Fortunately for me, I don't live on your block,
yeah, yeah tough guy, hope you never have to test those skills, for real.
Unlike Trayvon, I know how to do some effective ground and pound, and Z would never have got his hands on his gun, unless he had it out before I attacked him.

here's a question that has troubled me since day 1.
it was reported that TM was unfamiliar with the area (dad's girlfriend and all), if that's true, how did he choose to travel a 'path' known/frequented by local criminals ??

do tell, what right do you think the HOA has to prevent their residents from strolling the streets ?? even lawfully armed ?
this is PC speak/media spin for ... we refuse to display our cards on the table for all to see. (litigation)
source
the monies being paid hereunder is consideration for avoiding litigation, the uncertainties stemming from litigation
the sources indicate that the policy max limit of the insurer initially claimed against was 1 million. (even though that particular insurer isn't a party to this settlement)
same source
Trayvon's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, and his estate agreed to set aside their wrongful-death claim and claims for pain and suffering, loss of earnings and expenses.
i believe i read that eventually, point is, i don't travel unknown pathways (frequented by criminals) in strange territory, alone, at night, do you ?

The pathway is a shortcut through peoples yards if I remember correctly.

so do tell, why was an unidentifiable teenager out strolling the streets unsupervised ?
why is any teen on the streets without some form of ID ?
and lastly, exactly when and by whom was TM identified ??

I see. You probably have considerable combat skills, that far surpass you capability to make an intelligent argument.

Do you realize what you just said here? You basically confirmed the scenario where the thug TM assaulted Z, and the only thing you lament is that TM didn't have the chops to beat out the living hell out of Z. As you would have done easily.

we talk to each other, first.
TM should have tried it.

That's the point I was trying to make on the previous page, unfortunately I baited a troll.
How on Earth can an association, a perfectly civic organization living by simple rules and bylaws, impose a curfew on one or many of the residents? I mean, seriously? It's simply idiotic to suggest that they can.
