Not sure if anyone read the comments under the Rodney King video, but here are some quoted. I realize this is YouTube and there are idiots (and simply, kids) all over the country. Even so, there are positive comments as well and even excuses for why King was beaten for his actions that night. Not only that, but the Trayvon Martin story is starting to show up on this particular topic as well. But in this day and age? Really?? Will one of "these people" be on the jury? "Beat that dumb porch monkey....niggers" "of being a worthless subhuman nigger" "Beat that niggers ass" "The only thing I hate more than niggers is cops." "typical nig " "dont break the law you wont get beat" Racism is alive and well, always has been, no matter what public opinion might say. Just sickening. Edited by Jazen, Apr 12 2012, 02:05 PM.

I'm assuming that you acknowledge that racism isn't limited to white people. |
![]() The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism. | |

Of course. It's everywhere. But it makes you wonder in these particular cases what the outcome would have been had the roles been reversed. Perhaps Zimmerman was black, and Trayvon was white. We'll never know, but I could give you an educated guess. |

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/04/11/Obama-Prof-Flunks-Criminal-Law-at-Sharpton-Hate-Convention Last month, the Tampa Bay Times compiled a list of 140 cases since 2005 in which the stand your ground law had been invoked in Florida alone. Among those 140 cases, the newspaper reported, there were 11 in which the circumstances were similar to those in which George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin. One case from 2009 involved a black defendant, Demarro Battle, who was initially charged with second-degree murder for shooting and killing an unarmed white male, Omar Bonilla (whose race was confirmed today by the Fort Myers Police Department). The charges were dropped by the state because of the stand your ground law. That is just one case, from one state among the several that have stand your ground laws. |

I am not so sure you can compare this scenario to a teenager walking home with candy and soda:

With all due respect, and because I want to drink my beer in peace tonight, Colt wasn't comparing "events" as I saw it. He was comparing the issue of race in a broader circumstance of who's being charged in a similar crimes/non crimes, however it comes down and the ultimate results.

And one more thing, it's called "pop" in southern Indiana, not soda, no matter how many times I tell you. :gun: |

I see a couch in your near future sleeping assignments if this behavior continues Jaz. |

If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed Meat is Murder. Sweet, delicious murder. | |

I know, I can see it too. However, it's much more attractive with the beer goggles on. |

I was talking about the situations that lead up to these deaths. To me, they are not similar at all. Shooting in the ground and hitting them in the head is far more threatening than a man walking down the street. In my opinion. |
