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

What hateful thoughts are you talking about. Funny how the right can have hateful thoughts about what the believe to be national intelligence, but blacks can’t have hateful thoughts about policing. Is that a white privileged thing?

A hate crime is politicized where I come from since a hate crime can only be perpetuated on a few of the 'protected' class.

Why aren't hate crimes prosecuted against those who hate cops?
 
Black people are treated differently than white people in most aspects of life. Stop and Fisk, police killings, incarcerations, being followed in stores, I could go on and on. But I think you know that
You don't consider cause and effect in your list of actions that are perpetuated on blacks and not whites.

Stop and frisk saved many more black lives than it put in jails since the neighborhoods where the frisking and taking away of guns occurred were primarily black (or mixed black) neighborhoods.

Police killings - you mean the percentage of blacks killed compared to the percentage of any other racial group - cop killings were to a degree perpetuated by a black individual resigned to the fact the police were out to kill them.

More incarcerations for blacks 'cause blacks are undereducated and poor.

Being followed in stores. I agree with that one but as a white person there has been many instances where I've been followed...not so much in stores...and not for my skin color...I didn't 't rush my follower. I didn't bash my follower's head into the concrete.

With a history of violence and numerous encounters with the law. Furthermore he was not an accredited member of the local Neighbourhood Watch, but had set himself up as a wannabe cop/vigilante.

What crime did Zimmerman commit even though he wasn't an accredited member of the local neighborhood watch or was a wannabe cop? That would be a crime if Zimmerman impersonated a cop. Martin knew Zimmerman wasn't a cop.
If you consider Zimmerman's shooting of Martin as vigilantism, you conveniently forget Martin rushed Zimmerman and bashed Zimmerman's head on the concrete.

Yeah I said that.

Arrests, by Race and Ethnicity, 2017

In 2017, 68.9 percent of all individuals arrested were White, 27.2 percent were Black or African American, and 3.9 percent were of other races.
Of arrestees for whom ethnicity was reported, 18.1 percent were Hispanic or Latino.
Of all juveniles (persons under the age of 18) arrested in 2017, 61.6 percent were White, 34.9 percent were Black or African American, and 3.5 percent were of other races.
Of juvenile arrestees for whom ethnicity was reported, 21.8 percent were Hispanic or Latino.
Of all adults arrested in 2017, 69.5 percent were White, 26.6 percent were Black or African American, and 3.9 percent were of other races.
Of adult arrestees for whom ethnicity was reported, 17.8 were Hispanic or Latino.
White individuals were arrested more often for violent crimes than individuals of any other race and accounted for 58.5 percent of those arrests.
Of adults arrested for murder, 52.5 percent were Black or African American, 44.8 percent were White, and 2.8 percent were of other races.
Black or African American juveniles comprised 50.9 percent of all juveniles arrested for violent crimes. White juveniles accounted for 56.2 percent of all juveniles arrested for property crimes.

Deny these if it makes you feel better, but it won't change the facts...

Go to any FBI Table you want... and the fact remains the same... of white people committing more crimes than any other group in American. The Media tries to sanitize away and get white crime off the TV ASAP.... but it does not change the facts...
FBI Figures Still Tell THE TRUTH... that media tries to hide.

If Martin would have succeeded in killing Zimmerman he would have been charged with first degree murder.

The evidence they would have had was the 911 call from Zimmerman and Zimmerman on the ground with his head bashed in. Of course Martin might have shot Zimmerman if had gotten the gun away from him.

If Martin would have tried to use the excuse that Zimmerman was following him, that would not have mitigated his actions.

Can anybody argue with this?

KLATTU posted blacks commit violent crimes out of proportion to the proportion blacks have in the US population. That is true.
Yeah I said that.

If Zimmerman had been killed, Martin would have to prove Zimmerman posed a chronic and major threat to him.
EDIT: Unless Martin went for the reparations angle?

if that's your means to deflect from the facts of white crime and the raw number of people impacted by it.... then try all you want to sanitize it... the point remains the same... white people create "MORE" Crimes ... Period!!!

Now, lie to yourself any way it thrills you, heck... that's been a historical habit for 100's of years... so basically.. none would expect anything but a lie when one has such a long history of "lying about facts" and trying to cover it up or sanitize it. and none of that bull**** changes the "raw facts"... So, appease yourself any way you want...

Blacks commit far too many crimes, I don't deny that fact... and young blacks shooting each other is an atrocity that is beyond stupidity... I won't deny that either... So... no... I won't try and sanitize black crime... when I see it, hear it and read it, I think its stupid and vile... and those running around shooting and killing, I have no sympathy for them being locked up.

Senseless crime no matter who is doing it, I detest it...
When I see black people robbing stores I find it pathetic, the same as any other people robbing stores, or shooting up places... then we all should "stand up against crime" PERIOD!!! Regardless of the Race of the Criminal Makers!!!!!!

I don't see how he could have done that.

: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?

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.

Read the posts by Cabse an ttw .

and go wipe the egg off your face
 
You don't consider cause and effect in your list of actions that are perpetuated on blacks and not whites.

Being followed in stores. I agree with that one but as a white person there has been many instances where I've been followed...not so much in stores...and not for my skin color...I didn't 't rush my follower. I didn't bash my follower's head into the concrete.

No...90 % of blacks that were stopped did not have a gun. Many of them were arrested for having a joint. It is also known that just as many white kids smoke pot as black kids, but they are not stopped and frisked so therefore not arrested. There is one case of a boy that was stopped and accused of stealing a backpack. He was never convicted but was incarcerated for two years. He ended up committing suicide. These things don’t happen to white kids.

Black people are two times likely to be shot by police than white people. It has nothing to do with crime. It is the presumption by the police that they are more dangerous than white people.

There are just as many undereducated and poor white people as black people. But they don’t go to jail for the same offense as a black person. Like non violent crimes.

There is no evidence that Martin rushed Zimmerman. It is easy for you to believe that because the white guy said that is what happened. How many black people you know that rushed a store clerk and bashed them in the head because they were being followed. Do you think that is a common thing that black people do? If so, you are the problem. Perception is not reality

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?

I don’t know, but that has nothing to do with my post
 
Not many 17 year olds assault someone for asking them questions, then jump on top to keep going.

17 year olds are grown men. More than capable of reasoning, and more than capable of killing someone.

In some contexts maybe some slack is warranted. Not when it comes to deadly force.

Presumptions based on Zimmerman’s testimony. At 17, I suppose you were the same mature adult you are today.

That was just speculation as I pointed out in an earlier post. Sure they were fighting, that is obvious, but you don’t know how the scuffle started and where Zimmerman’s gun was at the time
 
...and Trayvon Martin was a little racist thug-in-the making. But neither mattered in this cas.

But you have no evidence of that
