George Zimmerman Arrested Again In Central Florida [W:351]

If you find the comments inflammatory, then you are indeed angry. Here's the definition of the word:



Inflammatory - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary



Now, I'm sure my comments didn't cause a physical inflammation in you. So they did in fact, cause anger - still it does nothing to avoid the fact that my question is a simple one and one you can't answer. Feign all the outrage you want.

How absurd.

Try again.
Recognizing that they are inflammatory has nothing to do with being angry.

Actually, someone who is in "whistling" mode, can get pretty interesting sounds if they get out a few good coughs while "whistling".

Again, don't know anything about the specific incident, just saying I have been around thousands of "wheezers" (all adults)and some of the sounds are quite interesting.

But not only that, but that perspective can be shown to be wrong by the evidence.

Yes, the evidence and the history is how I choose to look at it.

I've seen the evidence, I don't need your perspective of it to determine my conclusion.

The case is over, and Zimmerman is the poster child for 'stand your ground.' :0) I get that. But 'perspective' is something I'm not sure conservatives have ever been introduced to.

Sorry, if your opinion is that they are inflammatory cause you so much anger - however, that's your beef, Mr. Excon. It still doesn't make them so. However, I can imagine why you'd take issue with such a question. Here it is again:

Do you think the police who defended him when he killed a black teenager, won't do so now that he's threatened a white woman?

Keep on weaseling out of having to answer the question. ;)

From my perspective and the perspective of a great many, the Martin case is racist, the application of 'stand your ground' is racist, and the vast majority of those who support both are republican. It is not required that you agree with any of that. What is important is those who do believe it have the right to lawfully act upon it. Your participation is not required.

You have a right to believe whatever you want.

Explain how stand your ground is racist.

There is only one race. The human race.

Holy ****! :doh
Again, I am not angry, but I am able to distinguish between inflammatory words and those which are not.
Obviously that is something you don't realize, or do, and are just angry for being called out on your use of inflammatory words.

And again. The Department did not defend Zimmerman. Your whole premise is false so the question can not be answered.

While many do not like that he did, it was not an illegal act. It was reasonable and prudent to try to ascertain where the suspicious person went so he could then inform the Police when they arrived.

Which in no way, shape, or form, make him responsible for Trayvon's inability to not act out violently.

I'm sorry my question has caused you so much anger. However, you should relax and calm down - my words are only inflammatory if you want your feigned outrage to be considered. The police did defend his account of events. So now that we know they defended him when he killed a black teenager, do you think they won't defend him now that he has threatened a white woman? I await your answer.

You have a whole thread on that where you are shown to be wrong.

:doh More absurdities from you. Figures.
The department did no such thing. You have been asked to provide proof of it, yet still haven't.

:0) That's a good line .. I often use it myself. ALL modern humans evolve from the same genetic mother .. in Africa.

Is There Racial Bias in “Stand Your Ground” Laws? | Criminal Justice | FRONTLINE | PBS

Racism Is the Problem, Not the Stand Your Ground Laws - Room for Debate - NYTimes.com

I repeat, it is the application of these laws that are the problem .. no differently than the application of drug laws. Both are undeniably racist in their application.

Exactly. So technically, everyone is am African.

They aren't "racist in application". That's just not true. Amy law could be racist in application. That's like saying food stamps are racist.

that's the good thing about opinions. anyone can have one and they require no evidence or proof to back them up. you are free to believe whatever you want, regardless of how uninformed or wrong you are. :lamo
 
I started a thread once about the definition of racism. I dont recall the outcome but I think the common definition of racism on this forum is...when a liberal points out racism, they are the racist. Or something really close to that.

That's exactly how it's determined by the right .. but having been around long enough to watch the evolution of racism in America .. it is indeed quite telling watching them run like rabbits from the word. :0)

Call them a racist .. and watch them run.They could have just said the most racist **** imaginable .. call them a racist .. watch them run away from it. They'll call you a racist for pointing it out. :0)

There is another set of humans that respond in much the same way .. cowards. They know damn well that they are racist .. just too cowardly to admit it because they've become a pariah on modern society.
