You never said outright but is that why this case means something to you? I'm asking a serious question.
Not at all...i would think the same if it was black on white because of the circumstances. Ive been on this board for 7 years and ive always been consistant. I look at facts and data to come to a conclusion. Race means actually nothing to me. Im not going to go on my rant on why racists are subhuman.
My interest in the case has to do with a man, who followed a kid, provoked an altercation, shot the kid and then said it was self defense.
Thats my beef.
And then the people who say
"but but he smoked weed" What does that have to do with that situation and why he deserved to die
"But he was suspended from school" again how does that factor into the fact that if the shooter would have listened to the official the kid would still be alive
"but he has gold teeth" Agian.. why did he have to die..
I coach highschool ball players in the innercity, they are kids and do dumb shit.. To be killed and their unrelated bad decisions are pointed out to be justification of their early demise is sickening to me. Ive kids that were hot heads and trouble makers at 17 but at 23 have graduated college or have gotten their act together and now are on the straight and narrow. Trayvon never got that chance.
