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

what would media discussion even do?

inform people that America is racist i guess?

justice department's non-charging of Zimmerman is really the least terrible aspect of this case, relatively. It shouldn't even have to come down to needing the feds to get involved, only that way because the state's law and police are so fucked.

It's less about media attention accomplishing something than about inattention being discouraging.

by "inattention" do u mean ppl who used to care, but have now tuned out/given up/moved on to championing another #cause

Yeh the fatigue is sad too. I guess I was thinking more generally about the significance of events getting media attention or not. A friend has been talking about how encouraging he finds MSM interest in stuff like Occupy Wall Street and protesters' occupying the St. Louis PD, and how 10-15 years ago it wouldn't have been a story.

watched the doc 3.5 minutes, 10 bullets on the Jordan davis shooting, its good. quite telling imo that the murderer was like (paraphrasing) "I cant believe they don't have criminal records they must be under the radar all their youtubes are like gangster rap" (they were clips of them in a car rapping along to like lil b or something)

also these details immediately post shooting from the wiki (Rouer is his gf)

Rouer returned to Dunn's car and they went back to their hotel where they ordered pizza. Dunn did not contact the police. The next morning, Rouer saw a report about the shooting on the news, indicating that Jordan Davis had died. At her request, the couple abandoned their prior plans and headed straight home.

but "he's the victim", remember....

dunn sez this shit multiple times in the documentary smh

The racist bullshit on Tamir Rice stories has gotten so bad that Cleveland.com had to turn off comments on all Tamir Rice-related stories. (Although they're more than happy to let it continue on any other crime stories or Obama-related stories.)

As an aside, and because I don't know where else to mention it:

Rosa Parks was arrested 60 years ago today. It's Rosa Parks day in Ohio and Oregon today (California and Missouri celebrate it on February 4, her birthday -- it isn't celebrated in any other state than these four.)

I just think it's nice to remember.

How has this suppurating sphincter still not managed to get himself incarcerated or murdered? How?

Also, link is NSFW, guys.

i feel like subsequent events--revealing zimmerman to be a sociopath--should put to rest any doubts (if anyone had any) about what transpired the night of trayvon martin's murder. i feel that, like O.J. Simpson, he will get his commeuppance in some roundabout way.

he seems like a pretty tortured miserable fellow so that's something

that account's suspended btw anybody care to summarize

He posted a topless picture of his ex-girlfriend along with her phone number and claimed that she cheated on her with a "dirty muslim'.

cheated on him

p much otm. except, i kinda already felt like he was a sociopath as the evidence mounted against him, even before/soon into his trial a couple yeas ago

sure -- but he's continued to offer ample evidence in the aftermath of his acquittal.

sorry, the way i saw that tweet before posting it cropped the photo to show just head & shoulders

if it was gawker they'd show the picture and blur out george's name.

oops i've somehow conflated two separate threads sorry

For only $5,000, you can own a piece of American history:

jesus fucking christ

I would without a moment's hesitation contribute to a GoFundMe to have him killed by a hitman from the classifieds in Soldier of Fortune magazine.

i'll chip in if the hitman uses zimmerman's gun to do kill him

how does this guy keep getting worse

lol

buried lede:

The most recent seemingly legitimate bid was placed by the user “Brez Morrell,” for $485,000.

holy fucking shit

yesterday i thought, you know, i don't really care about this seller; i really want someone to keep track of the buyers.

Something very bad is going to happen to this man sooner or later

Is it, though? He seems to have coasted a fair distance on being an unrepentant murdering ultradouche. I half expect Trump to name him as his VP pick at this point.

sustained lol @ "racist mcshootface"

Zimmerman genuinely disgusts me. He is like a villain in a bad movie, or a stooge on his way to getting whacked.

How has someone not hunted him down and killed him yet?

Because that's his level ffs

And?

No matter how awful a person George Zimmerman is, I feel that it's wrong to root for his death. I prefer to use that energy to root for someone amputating all of his limbs and selling him to a travelling sideshow as the Human Worm.

eventually America will find the right violent solution to all its problems

I don't want him dead I want him contrite

ashamed

regretful

human

i want him dead tbh

He's already human. How's that working out for you?

I'm not super proud of how much I want him to suffer and die, it's not a quality in myself that I feel righteous about, but I'm not terrifically ashamed of it, either. people overuse the term "garbage" to describe people who have noxious opinions or w/e but this murdering racist shitbag should suffer and die imo.
