^Suspicious. What if creepy dude just wants to be friends?

The creepiest dues always want to be friends with me. There's something about me (6'1" with bright red hair? Smiley?) that makes the weirdest people talk to me. It's exhausting. :(

It's so frustrating, seeing all the racist comments in these news stories. All these people unafraid to spew hatred even with their Facebook names linked to their comments. What the hell, world. :(

one of the Huffpo commenters just said that Obama's statement just prejudiced every jury Zimmerman would get. How plausible a concern is this?

I wonder, has there ever been a case, ever, where this Stand Your Ground law was invoked that allowed a black person to get away with killing a white person? My bet is ... no.

valid point

I somehow missed through all this that Zimmerman is actually on the lam, whereabouts unknown.

No shit! Well, guy should probably keep running, hood-up, at this point.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 23 March 2012 17:14 (twelve years ago) link
Wait, are his whereabouts unknown, or have they just not been revealed to the press/angry mob?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 23 March 2012 17:16 (twelve years ago) link
I just heard that from a coworker who has been level-headed enough to keep with all angles of the story without succumbing to blind rage. Dunno where she read/heard it, though.

i'm sure they know where he is, and i'm sure they have no desire to let the public know

but this isn't about suspicious behavior, its about black / hip-hop clothing being interpreted as signifiers of criminality. could have just as well been a 3XL tee and sagging jeans instead of a hoodie, people would still be implying martin's blame for dressing / looking too black

xps
How plausible a concern is this?
First of all, this is utter BS. The Pres made a very boilerplate statement and merely pointed out that an un-armed black man who would look very similar to his son, if he had one, was just shot and the shooter apparently wasn't going to suffer any consequence at the State level due to a law which should, yes, probably be looked at.

Geraldo, I think a kid getting gunned down by a crazy likely-racist did more to remind American minorities of the dangers facing their children than your "he shouldn't have been wearing a hoodie" concern-trolling

So Geraldo, I guess that means when someone sees you driving around in your Mercedes, or walking around in an expensive suit, you're fair game to be robbed? After all, you're flaunting your wealth. You're asking for it. You know the risks.
