Let's talk about Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, and how unbelievably fucked up this all is

I know I've spent too much time on ILX when I start misreading CNN.com headlines as "Rodney King pleads for clam"

Can't we all just get abalone?

a lot of reality doesn't pass the sniff test, including zimmerman's lawyers, the GOP presidential primary candidates, the bush years; etc. the only rational conclusion is that reality is fake. should've voted "we’re living in a simulation and it gets shut down" in the human extinction scenarios poll.

Should've voted "Robocop turns into a documentary"

Zimmerman is someone whose solution to potentially getting his ass handed to him by a fifteen-year-old was to open fire. Imo there is literally nothing too stupid or too crazy for this man to be capable of.

hey lets have a 100-post thread about whether @horse_ebooks is a real horse

seriously think all that Community watching has turned everyone into idiots around here

BIG RUSE aka the website that's been acknowledged as real by his attorneys

(I mean I might be twisting the facts...? I know there's a huge racial element there also, but at the end of the day, that p much is how the whole thing seems to have played out...? Xp)

what does have to do with a fake twitter account full of obvious punchlines

"he's capable of anything" = "zimmerman did 9/11!"

Blinding insight

Idly I said and idly I meant: I just kinda liked the idea that Zimmerman had handed his support fund over to someone who was entirely focused on stealing it all, partly via the medium of a p crappy fake twitter account. But reality shares Whiney's lack of imagination, and hurrah for that, eh?

Here's some cool jackoff fodder for libertarian nutballs to blow out of proportion

that seems like a Chappelle's show skit. "Kobe!"

A group of men got out and told him he was walking too slowly, the victim told police

lol

he was walking all stiff and rigid, wearing a polo shirt with a popped collar, no choice there but to beat his ass

this happened in b'more recently and 99% of the comments i've seen are "racially motivated!! where's jesse and al? where are the protest marches?"

White Baltimore tourist beaten and robbed, mob laughs
Sunday April 8, 2012
The assailants proudly posted video of the assault on YouTube but, unlike the Trayvon Martin case, there have been no protest marches

Other than the fact that the cases bear no similarity at all and the police don't even know who to arrest yet in the Balty case, you're absolutely right, Bill :/

the fuck you doing drinking til you black out on St. Patrick's Day wearing a $1300 watch?

that's called "being an idiot"

a fine old american tradition

well yeah, it's one of the main selling points for freedom afaict

the fuck you doing drinking til you black out on St. Patrick's Day wearing a $1300 watch?

perilously close to "what the fuck she expect getting drunk in an outfit like that?"

there are no dangers in the idealised world you're chiding jon for not inhabiting, huh?

i reallllly like mark s's scenario, it would be a terrific law and order

there are no dangers in the idealised world you're chiding jon for not inhabiting, huh?

sure there will always be dangers, but suggesting that the victim of a crime (any crime) was essentially "asking for it" simply by virtue of being in this state wearing that thing is nagl, imo

no, but really, the fuck you doing drinking til you black out on St. Patrick's Day wearing a $1300 watch?

to be a little more specific, the victim of a violent and intentionally degrading assault

being human?

xp

not saying it was smart, mind

tbf it's very possible to lose your $1300 watch when you're blackout drunk even when you aren't the victim of a violent and degrading assault

basically all I'm saying is, if you're gonna go big maybe settle for your $13 watch instead. not that I'm not sorry for the ppl who got mugged.

still pretty fucked up to blame the victim, he should be able to wear whatever watch he chooses

there're degrees btwn 'blame the victim' and 'what the fuck were you thinking', lots of them.

Ok just watching that now and, yeah, it's pretty much the plot behind the Seinfeld finale.

Also, Lol @ "Why no protests, compared to TM?" Um....maybe cos the dude wasn't killed?

"his $1300 watch, the key to his Audi and his iPhone."

no, but really, the fuck you doing drinking til you black out

if we're gonna go that direction imo.

but ppl do it, they wear expensive and sexxxxy shit while doing it, too.

whether its "right" or "wrong"

it's a dude who
a) Rocks a $1,300 watch when he goes on VACATION
b) Drives an Audi
c) Drinks to blacking out on National "OH BOY I GET TO DRINK IN BARS INSTEAD OF HOME ALONE, SADLY" Day

So all evidence points to him being kind of a dbag, so whatever if homie caught an eyejammie and lost his iPhone.

haha I wouldn't say "so whatever" necessarily

being assaulted is p universally a shitty thing

imagine porky pig assaulting elmer fudd

If you want a picture of the future, imagine porky pig assaulting elmer fudd - forever.

what color is Elmer's hoodie?

So all evidence points to him being kind of a dbag, so whatever if homie caught an eyejammie and lost his iPhone.

fuck that. assaulting and humiliating rich or "fancy" people isn't any more excusable than assaulting anybody else. so what if he's got an expensive watch on and drives an audi? so what if he's drunk? what was done to this guy is disgusting, as is the callous inaction of passersby.

real fancy people def get blackout drunk on St. Paddy's Day
