George Zimmerman sues Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren over tweets honouring Trayvon Martin

:roll:Blacks are about (I'm guessing) 15% of the population in the US. Whites (I'm guessing) are about 60% of the population in the US. Blacks commit violent crimes out of proportion to the population in the US...about 30% (another guess).
What is the percentage of violent crimes for whites?

Spin what ever suits you.... if you have an issue take it up with the FBI... its their data.
 
Here''s what I said"
"YEs. Blacks commit way more crime proportionally. Especially violent crimes. Everybody knows that."
Read the posts by Cabse an ttw .

and go wipe the egg off your face

That does not, in any way, counter the fact that black people make up about 13% of the total US population while committing far more than 13% of total crimes. The media simply can't hide that fact.

To hell with countering anything... the numbers are the numbers... go tell the victims about your slant, and see if they give a crap...

There was no white guy involved in this case.

Since you don't think things played out how Zimmerman said they did, how did Martin get on top of Zimmerman in order to pound his head in to the ground? Did Zimmerman just let him do that, or did it happen as Zimmerman said?

Have you ever figured out that Zimmerman should have minded his own business... and none of that loss of life would have happened. Black people don't have to take **** from people because they are white... its not "Pre-1964 when white people could act savage upon and against black people, and expect black people to bow their head and take it.

Overly emotional reactions will persuade no one. Calm, cool and collected factual reactions are the most persuasive. Sure, they won't convince the overly-emotional idiots who respond back in kind, but they most certainly will carry more weight with the adults who are reading your posts.

yes they are.

And this is what the FBI data says:
"YEs. Blacks commit way more crime proportionally. Especially violent crimes. Everybody knows that."

Trayvon Martin should have just ignored George Zimmerman and none of that loss of life would have have happened. OR even just have said to him" go away, asshole" . George Zimmerman would have NEVER physically confronted him.
 
..already showed it. But a panderer wouldn't pay any attention to that

You have no evidence of that. Just presumptions. Pictures of pot (as I told you before)does not prove thuggish behavior Beating your wife does. Now who is the real thug Martin or the one you give a white man pass to

How do you know that. Where you there?

Agreed. Martin lost Zimmerman and could have either stayed hidden until Zimmerman left, dialed 911, gone home or anything but come out of hiding to confront Zimmerman. I think the wannabe gangsta (6'2", 158#) saw a pudgy short guy (5'7", 185#) and decided to have some fun beating the crap out of him. Being a dumbass, Martin didn't think Zimmerman was armed or had the guts to defend himself.

Are you claiming you were?

Will you admit that Martin was a punk wannabe gangsta who was suspended from school and kicked out of the house by his own mother so he was forced to live with his dad and dad's GF?

You are certainly correct, :) as I gave them the FBI stats.... unfortunately for those types, its a point when one has to tell them, in blunt terms, because they want to spin drama.
I think the adults who read and respect the formal data of the FBI as the posting presented and linked to, saw the stat info from FBI's website... and they did not go into spinning in pursuit of drama.

You would be best to go read the official data.... I'm not interested in your "drama game seeking", by now you should have figured that out.

Not at all.

Zimmerman was following Martin to tell the police on their arrival where he was so they could check him out.

Zimmerman did nothing wrong in this case.

I will leave the racist comments alone as they don't matter to anyone but you.

Or gone home when Zimmerman lost sight of him. That is what most people would have done.
 
Here's the thing, if Zimmerman has any sort of case here, especially considering how neither even specifically mentioned him, then not only does OJ have tons of cases he could bring against people, but so does the family of Lizzie Borden (bet many people had no idea until recently, if even then, that she was acquitted), if they can find any with legitimate standing. For centuries people have published things that stated Lizzie Borden killed her parents, despite being acquitted within a couple days or less. OJ gets jokes and comments made all the time about him getting away with murder.

I think you ignore the fact that young men of color are in particular danger of being seen as "suspicious" when they are doing nothing but walking while black. Obama was trying to highlight that fact, and humanize a dead person who was being characterized as a "thug" and still is by many here.

But like the remarks that appeared in the OP, Obama's remark made it sound like he was automatically in sympathy with Trayvon because they were of the same race. Maybe he spoke his real feelings-- though that's always difficult to assess with a professional politician-- and I don't doubt that a lot of people of color worry about their offspring, and that he Obama spoke to those fears. But, while it's indubitably true that there have been young black men who have been abused simply for racial reasons, a black person who initiates an attack forfeits the sympathy of many people. It's true that we'll never know that Trayvon did so-- I've already admitted that Zimmerman may not have been one hundred percent truthful-- but his story is within the realm of possibility. Once the Left propounded the "walking while black" narrative to the Trayvon-Zimmerman incident, it made it much harder to suss out truth in later cases. Michael Brown wasn't killed because he was "walking while black," he committed petty theft at a convenience store. But that fact was ignored by the mob that became fired up at the supposed injustice of Brown's death. My recollection is that the store was attacked by the mob, though I confess I haven't been able to re-locate the story as yet.

Following someone is not a "savage" act. Given that Martin eluded Zimmerman's scrutiny by ducking behind buildings, he should've kept going, but he didn't. I've heard one or two people defend Martin's action by claiming he was afraid that somehow Zimmerman was going to follow him to his relative's home. It's a weak theory at best. I think he was offended that a "creepy ass cracker" was following him-- possibly he thought of GZ as a sexual predator, not a vigilante-- and that's why Martin decided on confrontation.

All I will admit to is that Zimmerman is a trouble maker as there is evidence of that and there is no evidence that Martin was a wannabe gangster
 
Wow! Teenagers fighting. I guess you never was in a fight as a teenager. If you were, that makes you a thug. But if you beat your wife as an adult your are a fine law abiding citizen.

List of George Zimmerman's Arrests and Legal Trouble

I didn't have a pistol and smoke marijuana when I was in high school. Why do you think it's okay for high school students to smoke pot, play with pistols and get suspended from school?
