why is the media silent on this case?

It's funny to hear the white whine. Poor abused white folk. I feel your pain! :roll:

However you can't recall how the Zimmerman case got all that attention. You have some liberal scheme to promote white hate and suppress any reports of blacks behaving badly.

Really?

it is interesting some use the term lynching when it comes to media reports on whites killing blacks. I recall real lynchings of blacks by whites.

Get over it, you can nit pick the stand your ground incidents and find where whites get away with shooting blacks in the back, in broad daylight while on the phone with 911, in the neighbor's yard with no 'Zimmerman' outcry. (Dallas)

In OKC a pharmacist comes back to a downed robber with a second weapon and empties it into the guy. He was charged and found guilty without a 'Zimmerman' march.

So spare us the poor downtrodden white whine. Keep the 'where is Sharpton' silliness out of this .

TIA, This is Arizona, where a Hispanic Marine gets gunned down in his own home after a cop has a ND and his SWAT buddies riddle the Marine full of holes, refuse him medical care, keep his wife and child in the house, find no illegal substances,or weapons, no cop gets disciplined, no outrage over that either.

Read into it what you want, but the white whine is silly.

Speaking of racism.

So, this case is getting the same amount of play that the Martin/Zimmerman case is getting?
 
OscarB63 said:
yeah, there are other differences. the victim in this case did not attack the guy who shot him. the shooter suffered ZERO injuries and there was ZERO damage to his vehicle. the shooter did not call the cops.

This case is far more egregious than the zimmerman/martin case.

Not to mention the most important difference: the shooter is black. Libbo hypocrisy is going to overflow all over the place.

I don't know, where was the part where the[black] victim was very clearly profiled and followed after the police told the [white] perpetrator to let it go? Where was the part where the overzealous black neighborhood watch captain was following the victim because he thought the hispanic guy was high and/or casing surrounding homes? You're attempting to compare apples to oranges.

None of this is to say that the police involved shouldn't do their due diligence and that Daniel Adkins doesn't deserve justice for what happened to him, but you're comparing two different scenarios and it's not the respective races of the individuals involved that's the only difference.

Your welcome for the intepretation.
 
I think he should get a plea deal and admit that we have no right to self defense.
If someone is on top of you trying to kill you, waste them and then say you didn't do it.
 
As for me, the only reason I don't give as much of a **** about this case, as opposed to the Zimmerman/Martin case, is because I am not aware of anyone attacking the victim in this case. No one is calling the victim a wetback or saying that the deserved it. No one is criticizing his family as far as I am aware. No one is calling him names or posting fake pictures of him.

I call bull****. I'm sure the only reason you care about the zimmerman case is because people are pointing out that trayvon was not the saint the media and his family tried to paint him to be :roll:

There a few people on this planet who I could care less about believing me. I think the SYG law is a bunch of ****ing nonsense and I think people who make **** up about Trayvon and his family are pieces of ****. That's about the extent of my interest. Pieces of ****ing ****.

Because it is believed the case will help black turnout for Obama in November. That is the only reason for any publicity.
 
OP:

It is seriously under my skin that people KEEP asking 'well why don't people care about ___ case' . . . and other such attempts to connect one ot the other.

If YOU care so much about said other case then just post the facts, information, and discuss it - rather than using someone else's tragic or ****ed up situation in a sidewinder argument in the direction of Treyvon/Zimmerman.

If people KEEP using the Treyvon case as some sort of example or backdrop to bring up other cases they're doing a serious disservice to theirselves and all others. . . everything does NOT need to be drawn in parallel between these things in order to discuss Bobby, Billy or Suzie.

Keep telling yourself that.

Similar cases should elicit similar responses.
If one case is more egregious than another, then the response should be greater.

In this issue you have a more egregious action not garnering more response, and more than likely, it is an appropriate response.
While the other is obviously overblown.

It depends on what irks you about the case. Again, what irks me the most about this case are a few of the pieces of **** that talk about it. The ones who use the temporary free pass to make fun of a dead, black kid and his family. It shows how far this country has come in the past 60 years - not far at all.

Since I was speaking of the generalities, no not really.
Individually, fine. But then we are back to the person's individual feelings, thoughts, emotions, falling into generalities of the larger group.

Sure! :roll:
The Tray-bots, or antiZim-bots, for the most part brought this on by doing this against Zimmerman first.

Please provide examples that this is actually being done, and for the reasons you stated.
For all I know this may be an interpretation issue.

For G_ds sake, we have people on this board that think calling a black person a black thug, is racist even though the person being referred to is black, and represents himself as a thug.That obviously isn't a racist comment.
