The problem is the LAW that let him get away with murder, not the prosecution...not the jury...THE LAW.

The prosecution was also a joke. So, so many instances of missed opportunities.

Plus, there's the whole issue of the seethingly racist Sanford Police Department during the time of the crime. Any time an adult kills an unarmed minor who was not actively committing a crime, an arrest needs to be made. They played favorites, didn't collect evidence properly, didn't interrogate properly, etc. etc. etc.

But Sanford also has a wonderful history of being disgustingly racist and conservative. Guns are religion in Florida, and the state is more or less governed by the NRA. Sanford in particular clings to its guns like a band of paranoid creeps, so this verdict does not surprise me one bit. If any issue can be manipulated somehow into a "guns rights" issue in the course of discharging a firearm, Sanforders will heed that call of duty.

So true, styg is good in the sense that IF theres a credible threat you can defend yourself. it's terrible that you can get away with murder and later say oh i felt threatened.

so does this mean you can chase down any unarmed person and shot them in the back and call it self defense?

I lived in Sanford for about four years. I worked in the new store that was built right in front of the community where that kid was shot. When I heard the story breaking about him being shot, it did not surprise me in the least. The town is full of roaming hooligans and little thug wannabes, gang activity was high, and anti-white racism was thriving in the Historic downtown area/the hood. I would frequently get harangued by blacks just walking down the street and I had one try to rob me on the sidewalk a block from the police station until he saw how pissed off and armed I was.

It's a wonder more people don't get shot in that town.

The only gang activity in Sanford is the white supremacist lobby, buddy.

Sanford has such a profoundly disturbing history of KKK and Neo-Nazi activity. That you can selectively say that "anti-white gangs" are somehow the problem given the history of your wonderful little town, it's no small wonder you fall on the side of this issue that you do.

You're playing the "white victim" card already, which is hilarious. If white people were enslaved and then oppressed in every shape and form for several centuries, I'm sure you'd just "let it go," too. No sign of bitter racial resentment on your part at all.

My heritage is Irish. Do you know how many Irish immigrants died in the holds of ships when coming to America? In the earliest days of the Wake, something like 1 out of 8 survived the terrible conditions at sea. The ones that made it lived like third-class citizens and many were forced into tenements or lived as beggars. American employment ads were often footnoted with "No Irish need apply." This is history...and it didn't happen to me, personally, but it did happen. I don't cling to it like some sort of resentment-based comfort blanket and try to use it to get sympathy and handouts.

Oh...the other quarter of my blood is Cherokee Indian. Ever hear of the Trail of Tears?

What annoys most rational people is that it has become part of black culture to cling to the past in a completely unreasonable way. Most living white people didn't own slaves...and most living blacks never experienced slavery first hand. Times change. Many, many people have been treated poorly by history. Blacks don't own the monopoly on troubled pasts. The Jews and Indians have had it far worse.

I don't feel guilty for being white, although many white people do. And yes, if you want to call it "playing the white victim card" because I'm white and someone tried to rob me then I guess that's what I did lol. I'm pretty sure the person on the receiving end of the robbery is called "the victim" in most cases.

Also, I never said that "anti-white gangs" are the problem. That was bad comprehension on your part. Gangs are a problem. Publicly held and aggressive anti-white sentiments are a problem that I personally encountered. Are there neo-Nazis in Sanford? I have no idea because I never tried to find them...however the white-hating black people DID find me. Non-racially motivated crime also abounded; break-ins and robberies and such. That's my experience.

Racial turmoil, gang presence and general high-crime rate then leads to my actual point: I've seen enough stupid crap go down in the area that it didn't surprise me to see someone get shot in self defense.

Totally ignore the century of Jim Crow America and a de jure white supremacist social order that made South Africa look like a fucking utopia. You're a fucking idiot if you think that the slate is ever wiped clean from history. You're incredibly naive and delusional if you think anybody ever lets anything go from the living memory of history. That's not the way humans in civilization work-- any human group.

But yeah, the fact that my own dad was a lucid human being when black people were fighting for their legal right to vote probably doesn't mean anything. That's all in the past, right? The fact that people still alive today were horrible victims of racist crime that you'll never even know a glimpse of doesn't matter, either. That was the PREVIOUS generation. That doesn't matter any more. They're only running the government from the bottom up as we speak and will relinquish control into the hands of people exactly like them.

But yeah, keep it up with your pure meritocratic utopia to help yourself sleep at night for what this country and your living standard is built upon. That's the morally upright thing to do: tell people to just get over what they went through as American citizens at the hands of law enforcement and white mob mentality. You're a wonder!

It's not all about slavery. It's about what white America did AFTER slavery that also matters. They didn't repent for their crimes. They established a white supremacist social order that made black Americans second-class citizens worthy of absolutely none of fruits of the American Dream for over a century.

The fact that you're so unrepentant should remind us all that pride has no place here. I don't know what you're personally clinging to, but it's time to collectively say that this country was established as, persisted as, and continues to be an inherently racist country by its very nature. If you're going to go on saying that racism is gone because we "made nice" a few years ago, I'd love to see you say that to the faces of the people still alive and well who were integrated into all-white schools, or hosed down by fire fighters, or had police dogs attack them for wanting racial equality in this country.

Christ, you're a pathetic sack of shit, buddy. You need to learn to empathize and stop defending your disgusting world view of entitlement and proud defensive stances. There's nothing to defend. At all.
