Yeah, they vote the Fred Phelps and Lyndon LaRue's party. Not surprising given how much the dem core likes to beat the crap out of gays. (points to fbi hate crime statistics)

More whites voted for him than blacks as well. Makes sense that most blacks voted for him since the Republicans have long since decided that their party would be the one that appeals to the vilest of the racists.

Obama is being smart and waiting until more information comes in. He may have a likely *opinion* but it would be HIGHLY unpresidential to way in on an ongoing criminal investigation or appear to take sides.

I think many posters here would criticize him if he didn't weigh in and would criticize him if he did weigh in.

Right....which is why I don't see him as a threat. In fact, unless they're precocious XYY genetic freaks, I don't see any high school football players as threats.
High school basketball players were going straight from high school to the pros right up until a few years ago. Many only play their freshman years now before they declare.

Did a bunch of grown men see Lebron James as a threat when he came into the league? lol

Since Lebron is a truly genetic freak, how about Chris Paul who is 6'1 and plays in a world of 7 footers? Is he disadvantaged? Sure, you can make the argument that professional athletes are genetically superior....But it's all relative.

Zimmerman ISN'T a genetic freak by any stretch of the imagination, this is certain. And you are making the argument that Trayvon wasn't and we do not know that. But we do not he played competitive sports. Which requires some form of athleticism. And it's obvious he played it for a long time because they have no problems digging up his pictures of when he was 6 in football uniforms.

Well, it is not like they are making things up. On the 911 call zimmerman clearly says "f---ing c**ns" and makes the remark "they are always getting away" I guess that would raise some interest in the case regarding a racial taint. To top it all off it has been rumored that the police dept there has had past cases were injustices were done to blacks and were treated biasly


No I don't find it odd, since whatever additional findings other than what already posted in the media will show up in court........be patient because it will

What about all the racists that voted for Hillary in the dem primaries? I distinctly remember non-Obama democrats being called racists.

Ironically, the few racists on my moms side of the family are democrats.

As part of that watch do you routinely go after unarmed people with a gun even after the police tells you not to?
