17 year old kid shot dead by Neighborhood Watch "Captain"

[Roadie]

Watch means watch, not pursue (poorly) and then get into an altercation.

Good men still do the wrong thing from time to time.

Have you read the rest of the thread by chance? (like, the 911 transcript?)

You'd be surprised. Alot of young kids talk in this fashion on social media regardless of race.

I guess I dont social media with kids anymore, its almost like a second language.

I really think we are going downhill in this country if this is how kids communicate.

When I was a kid we sent emails.

They had a start, beginning, and end.

I dont think we spent a lot of time worrying about what we said, but I know for DARN SURE we didnt mispell words like it didnt even matter.

I don't social media with kids either or much with anyone else for that matter but on occasion I have seen through other people I have known a few examples of what goes on.

I must admit, when this whole thing started and I blindly followed the media's leading, I was pretty convinced that Zimmerman was a wanna be mall cop with a gun who got scarred and had an itchy trigger finger. Now as more info leaks out, I wonder if the good Rev. Sharpton is having a flashback to 1987, the last time he stuck his neck out for a poor African-American youth who was being denied justice. For me, it keeps coming back to the fact that the local PD had 3 weeks to investigate this and came to the conclusion that it was a case of self-defense. Martin's family/supporters didn't like this conclusion, so now we drag Zimmerman to the grand jury. I've heard it said somewhere that a good DA can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, and you can bet that this DA has had it made clear to him by DOJ that he needs to give 110% on this one. If his grand jury doesn't indict, 10-1 that we have riots from Miami to at least Philly and probably LA for good measure.

I don't understand why the guy just didn't sit in his truck with the doors locked until LE arrived.

That's what I thought from some posts that I read several months ago.

Having been a teenager walking about at 2AM, bored out of your mind, I could come up with several reasons not to just go home.

Yeah, but those usually involve getting into trouble. Nothing good happens after midnight.

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! You think if we asked ZIM if he had it to do all over again would he do things the same.

 

[CarmelHP]

Did you guys read that supposedly they got ahold of Trayvons tweets?

I really dont think I believe that they truly are his, they seem a little too off the wall and steriotypical, so I am going to ............ call this one early and say that this is photoshopped and fabricated.

Trayvon's Tweets the Daily Caller

The media circus is in a frenzy.


Huh... during the time the Supremes are debateing Obamacare..... the bread and circus engine has THIS to concentrate on... interesting.

Just keeps getting more bizarre. Why does EVERYTHING that Jesse and Al put their hand to turn out this way?

If I am afraid someone is following me I am.

I believe the State's Attorney has already declined to prosecute.

If his grand jury doesn't indict, 10-1 that we have riots from Miami to at least Philly and probably LA for good measure.

The governor has appointed a special prosecutor to look into this, and she has already stated she does not use grand juries to decide if she should prosecute justifiable homicide cases.

She has also stated it would be hard to successfully prosecute this case.

Maybe the DOJ can bring up some phoney civil rights violation.

Yes he is a LEO but he's still entitled to an opinion just like anyone else.

I may not agree with that opinion at times but I will back him all the way when he chooses to exercise it.

Turns out George is a good citizen. He is a volunteer tutor, tutoring black kids, and helped raise money for an African-American church. He is also a volunteer neighborhood watchman. We need more folks like this guy in the world.

Too bad the left and the black community in this country have destroyed the life of what appears to be a good man without having all the facts.

As well as out illustrious President. AGAIN!!!

Because Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are race-baiters and have to portray everything as a war against black people to keep themselves living in the style to which they have become accustomed.

Trayvon Martin case: 'Blacks are under attack,' says Jesse Jackson

I understand and agree. BUT, that doesn't shield him or any of us when we jump to early conclusions based on facts not in evidence that prove out incorrect. I am encouraged that he didn't automatically come out biased against the kid, but early bias w/out the facts is still what it is. And rather disturbing in a LEO when they generally see more reasons not to be than most of us combined.

I am not being racist here... but am I the only one who thinks he has a jacked up face?

Something about his eyes, makes me think of a goldfish.

It's been determined Z is in no way a racist.
I'm still curious as to why the guy just didn't sit in his truck with locked doors. He was instructed by the police dispatch not to approach the teen.
