Why is the Zimmerman/Martin case such a big deal?

What about NW being disbanded? Where? If you mean the Retreat at Twin Lakes, George was the ONLY person involved in NW.

911 operators always ask for a description so skin color, hair color, clothing, age height and weight are all legit .


So you're accusing all 911 operators of racial profiling?

Only a total fool would participate in an NW group in the future given a condition now is established that a condition is that you abandon your civil rights, your right to self defense and have to agree anyone may kill you for reporting or watching them.

Private citizens don't have to disarm and may defend themselves.

It also is very important to NOT call 911 and instead just deal with crime and suspicious activity otherwise. There are entire areas around here now the police essentially never enter and the community deals with things however they do. When phoning the police or participating in any organization with any relative with police only created personal and criminal liabilities, no rational person will do so.

Besides, NW or even police really aren't necessary. There are only 10,000,000 non-drug related felonies per year. So the odds are on 1 in 30 chance of being a felony victim in any given year - or rather 1 in 30 chance you will be a felony victim for a felony reported. Actually, most people are only burglarized a few times in their lifetime and most women are not raped more than once or twice in their lifetime. And of course misdemeanor laws really should just be abolished anyway.

If people would avoid do everything possible to avoid being victims - only going out in public if absolutely 100% necessary and then run to your vehicle and back head down when no one is around, put bars on your windows and doors that you never answer - and avoid any avoidable interactions with other people - the odds of being a victim are very small and even if so it won't affect anyone else.

If any new criminal law is needed, it is outlawing people looking at each other and all verbal or other contract with any other person that is not required by law.
 
I wish I knew what the big deal was -- excepting that it's an interesting exercise in common, and not-so-common, sense.

Since he's not likely to go to trial until some time next year, I'm thinking we're all going to be pretty sick of it long before we learn the outcome. (Perhaps it'll be resurrected...)


This case was not a big deal. The politics attached to it and how it is being used is.

I agree Joko__and it was obviously the result of an agenda driven Main Stream Media__That's the point of the OP!

The only question is, how does sustaining the racial division in this nation fit into the Main Stream Media's agenda?

This post took a lot of steam out of my posting about this subject.

Again, it's not that big of a deal. Look, here's a link to Google News:

News

As of right now, there is nothing front page about Zimmerman.

U.S.

In US news, there is one news topic about it and it is a blog. It's not that big of news across the country - or that often talked about - it's just hotly contended on this board because of a few extremists on each side who won't concede obvious points.
 
Racial profiling is a big deal among blacks in America. I don't know of any black men who haven't been pulled over and questioned by police, followed around a department store by employees their entire visit or followed for miles by the police for what is assumed to have be motivated by nothing else but skin color and an assumption that being black means there's a good chance you're up to no good. The initial information coming from the Martin case appeared to be about racial profiling.

Secondly, there is an unwritten enemies list in the unprinted conservative agenda handbook and the name Al Sharoton is near the top of that this. Once he became involved the Trevon Martin case It took on a new political dynamic because of conservative opposition to Al Sharpton. Then Obama spoke out on the issue, whose name is also on the enemies list and the conservatives responded like is was a political campaign, not motivated at is root to support for racial profiling but in an matter where Al Sharpton and B Hussein Obama are involved the automatic reaction is to pick sides against whichever side they support. The conservative pundits dutifully included updates on the case in support of Zimmerman. They promoted his legal defense fund which led to hundreds of thousands in donations. One even gave him an interview, that I didn't see but assume was supportive and softball. Again, not because the conservatives support racial profiling or even Zimmmerman but they hate Al Sharpton and are rallying against any high profile thing he's involved in.

^ A study in a Democratic partisan hackery. This was entirely politicized by national Democrats and Democratic media to try to address lackluster interesting in the election within the African American community. It wasn't Republicans who raged incessantly (and irrelevantly) about this case or called for race riots.

Even many Democrats see Sharpston as a self promoting old hypocrite and worn out old hack.

It's hillarous! Democrat hack?! Moi!?

No offense intended but I think the policital culture doesn't like objectivity, at least among certain circles.
