Look at all of the bitching, bickering, and worthless back and forth. Doesn't it feel like we are all being distracted by this shit that doesn't even matter? Seriously, does this case make your life any different?

The difference between us is that I don't think of everything in terms of, "Does this directly benefit me? Good!" "Does this directly harm me in some way? Bad!"

And I certainly don't vote that way, nor form my political/economic beliefs in that way. I personally believe that a person like George Zimmerman and his example makes this country less safe for all people. That is a communal consideration that I have made. I will definitely not be affected by the same concerns and issues affecting a person like Trayvon Martin, which is the only point that President Obama was making today: that certain members of our society dwell in a shadow of constant suspicion and distrust by the other members of our society.

It's sad, because we're all the children of a generation that dealt with race in the same way you all are: ignore it completely. Pretend it doesn't exist, pretend it's not a huge factor in the way this country has formed and developed, and certainly pretend that we're not all obligated to address it in some way. Wake the fuck up.

are you trying to imply that certain members of our society (specifically wankster thug wannabes) don't deserve to be under constant suspicion?

address it? address what? what the fuck are you even talking about? do you have a fucking point?

pretend we're not obligated to address it.... I think Zimmerman already did address it.

I'll address it: I certainly have no problem shoot anyone of any color if they're coming at me wrong. I would highly encourage you to get yourself a gun.

I'd rather die than be responsible for another person's death.

But I also don't fear death b/c hard.

Person most likely to get shot by your gun: your kid.

Solution: dont have retarded kids, or lock your gun up if that is not an option.

Spoken like a true social Darwinist.

Let's watch you abandon your ideology as soon as something unfavorable happens to you.

Unarmed security guard has all the answers.

Another solution :do away with laws that allow someone to shoot another person who is unarmed. The law is the issue here, not race. All of this fucking bullshit over such a simple case is due to the fact that in florida people can legally murder someone as long as they prove they were being threatened in some capacity. I mean, in most other states, zimmermans case would have been a quick and painless case.

At the very least this guy got away with manslaughter. I mean cops in many states aren't allowed to use their guns unless one is drawn or fired on them first. Even if trayvon had a knife in my state zimmerman would be hit with SOME kind of manslaughter. You can't claim self defense when your assailant is unarmed, that's common sense. The people of Florida should be the one's who are ashamed for allowing such crazy laws such as "stand your ground" to be passed. The people in florida are the ones to blame for such a gross miscarriage of justice, no other person or government entity.

Many unfavorable things have happened to me in a very short period of time. I've learned that there is no grounds for excessive reform to gun control because its already far too gone.

At any rate, I've never been faced with a situation where I needed a weapon to defend myself thankfully. And the few times that I've been in a situation where my life is being threatened in some way, a gun would have done very little to get me out of the situation. My argument personally against gun control has more to do with the fact that its just not going to fix anything, in fact, it will just create new issues.

Plus why should americans give up their guns when the US government has been buying up weapons and ammunition at an alarming rate each year (for non military government organizations) and claiming that it is for training purposes. Now when I say buying ammo at an alarming rate I mean buying more ammo last year than was used in iraq/afghanistan for the first 2 years. I also mention the governmnts claims that these purchases are for training purposes yet the ammo they are buying are hollowpoints. No military branch or police force as far as I know "trains" with hollowpoints. Those rounds are designed to kill people.


So sure, give up your guns and join in the crusade against those of us who know our rights as americans, and see how you feel when the man comes-a-knockin. Atleast ill be ready to shoot back.
