another fantastic contribution to a serious thread, thanks for your effort.

Does this guy have a job?

Sharpton should be indited for federal hate crimes. Zimmerman is a good guy and willing to help people. He took a black girl to the school prom and mentors young black men and even, dare I say, voted for Obama which in my opinion was a big mistake.

I don't know what happened the night Trayvon Martin was killed and I don't care. All I know is I'd rather have a George Zimmerman walking around than a Trayvon Martin.

Trayvon would have robed them blind and left.

Traygone would have tried to sell them the weed he was growing and after they bought it would have robbed them. Martins a hero, so glad a known gangbanging thug like Traygone is off the streets for GOOD.

http://hnn.us/articles/roots-white-rage

Amidst all the ink that has been spilled this week regarding the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin, a disturbing theme has emerged. Whether talking about Zimmerman's individual mindset, or the mindset of the Florida legislators who passed the now-infamous Stand Your Ground (SYG) law, or the mentality of white Americans in general with regard to young black men, the idea that fear is at the heart of the matter has emerged as a popular explanation for Martin's murder. However, there is another emotion with perhaps even greater historical valence for understanding these events: rage.

Take, for instance, Zimmerman's own words to the 911 operator the day of the killing. "Assholes" and "f*cking punks" were the words he used to describe the person he was following. Those words denote anger and resentment but not fear. Zimmerman only indicated he was afraid of Martin after he had killed him.

I grew up in the Chicago suburb where Drew Peterson lived and worked.

A high-school friend just posted on Facebook:

"Drew Peterson, an ACTUAL cop, once responded to a car accident I was in. Then he murdered 2 of his wives."

Be extremely wary of posts containing the name 'Antonio Wesy': they are really really gross

I think I saw someone in my family post some "Antonio West" thing, but I didn't read it.

this is all from a report from "newsball.com", who are also on a weird witch hunt to expose the names/identities of the six jurors? idk man

arby's, Saturday, 27 July 2013 16:24 (ten years ago) link

It's true that this is all only on alternative sites so who knows but on the other hand, people willingly ate up the original story despite it being iffy and somewhat contradicted by the 911 tapes.

What i find disgusting are all the folks who seemed to think this 'cancelled' his previous deeds.

i do think its interesting that after the first juror came out and appeared to be a p serious 'supporter' of Z, several other jurors and said they didn't share her thinking, and that the latest one to come out says 'we all felt in our hearts he was guilty,' like to have been a fly on that deliberation room wall

if you haven't figured out yet not to be a drunk idiot walking home alone from admo on a saturday night i don't know what to tell you

i guess every day someone's born who's never seen the flintstones

I can't parse your Simpson's ref Hoos, but for the time being I'm just writing this off as some Ashley Todd shit.

fuck. flintstones, not simpsons. what the fuck.

i think it's from the episode where barney is on the bedrock neighborhood watch and he shoots and kills trayrock martin. later on fred is mugged in retaliation when walking home drunk from the bowling alley.

i'm saying that in the same way that someone is born who's never seen the flintstones every day there are still people who haven't learned that if you're drunk and walking home from adams morgan you will probably get mugged. it's happened to me 3 times.
