Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

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

Quote:
 
Defendant: Demarro Battle

Victim: Omar Bonilla

Case Details

Incident date: July 17, 2009

Location: During party at victim's home in Fort Myers, Lee County

What happened: Battle fatally shot Bonilla after an argument at a party. Earlier in the dispute, Bonilla had fired his gun into the ground and beat Battle in the head. Then Bonilla ran inside his apartment, gave his gun to a friend, telling him to hide it, and returned unarmed to confront Battle. Battle, meanwhile, had retrieved his gun from his car and fatally shot Bonilla.

The outcome: Battle was arrested by police and charged with second-degree murder. But charges were dropped by the state attorney. "Under current Florida law the defendant had no duty to retreat," assistant state attorney wrote. According to the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure, prosecutors must file charges against a defendant within 33 days of an arrest. The state attorney wrote in a memo that there wasn't enough information available about whether Battle knew Bonilla wasn't armed when he walked back out of the house and what was said before the fatal shots were fired. Lee said the poor audio quality of witness statements taken at the police station makes it difficult to determine what happened in the "critical moments before the fatal shots were fired."

Fatalities: 1

Weapon: gun

Investigating agency: Fort Myers Police

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.
Sorry Ms Jaz but your hubby is correct. I wasnt trying to compare the circumstances. Just showing that there are precidented cases out there and I believe that study was just for Florida. I am taking no one's side in this, it is gonna be very interesting.

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

I agree, and that's what I always call it as well even though it makes to sense to me.

1. Soft Drink
2. Soda
3. Pop

Then I am sorry, sir! I must have misunderstood your post. :$

I do agree - this is a very interesting case!

Don't think I've ever used the term "soft drink". BTW, what do you call that meal that you eat in the evening:

Dinner?
Supper?

I grew up with lunch being called "dinner", and dinner being called "supper". And I'm not a "pop" drinker, so I don't really call it anything, but it's all I've heard in this area for as long as I can remember.

It's amazing we live so close, yet it's so different.

I know some people really get bent out of shape over this, but I've always referred to the meal at noonish as lunch and I call the evening meal either dinner or supper; they're synonyms to me.

Technically, I think dinner can be either but it should be your biggest meal of the day whereas supper is your evening meal and is usually lighter in size.

"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. 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

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.
