Let's be blunt, in days we will know if its legal to shoot unarmed black boys in Florida

[1-Old-Man]

As long as no one actually sees you do it of course. By the way, I used the word "boys" to denote young men who have not reached majority, teenagers, youngsters, children.

1. you forgot to add the prerequisite of getting a paper cut

in order to justify said killing.

[cali]

2. no, we won't. we'll know that the prosecution

failed to make its case and that there was a for shit jury.

3. Sigh, this is going to be so fucked up

We've already got protesters down here blocking the Busway in Miami, all carrying Zimmerman is guilty signs. I really don't want a riot in a neighborhood.

6. the '2 wrongs make a right' crowd out in force nt

7. so I guess you're busily trying to find another unrelated, idiotic story to post

to represent your fantastic insights?

[pinto]

4. Too simplistic take on the case, imo. Yet you've a point.

[polichick]

5. Or maybe that it's cool to stalk someone, pick a fight and then kill him.

9. ONLY IN AMERICA

you can shoot an unarmed black teenager have money flowing to you like you, paying for a job well done. For the jury to come back with a guilty verdict, they have ASSUME, as the Prosecution said, that Trayvon was a criminal, and he deserved to die the death of a criminal ...with his face down in the dirt, bleeding, arms spread eagle if you are to believe one version over the other...for doing what?

It's just a opps? What about Trayvon's life? Does it even matter? Much better to convict the kid a criminal without a bit of evidence, then to admit, he's really not that important. Why stop with unarmed teenagers, go after people you find offensive based on other features besides skin color, how about disfigurement, weight, sexual orientation...whats to stop them? just say you feared for your life....

10. That's really most of what this trial has been about imo: to wit,

has the state issued licenses to kill on a whim as Zimmerman apparently did?

[Loudly]

11. Can you provoke a fight and then shoot and kill the person you provoke?

I have been told here that the answer is yes.

And if you provoke the fight with a racial slur, that opens the door to a tremendous amount of bad behavior with the blessing of the State.

12. I agree. If Zimmy walks, it will be open season on black males in FL.
