Well, I'm a Jew so I know what you're talking about. Minority violence and ghetto conditions have many different reasons, not just one and only historic oppression. Everything from welfare programs to rise of feminism and losing the family fabric to drugs, etc. Jews always had strong family bonds, and that's the main thing when it comes to whether a person grows up to be a criminal or not. Upbringing.
Poverty is a huge factor of course, but not all poor people are criminals so it's still number two after upbringing.

That's a crock and a half. DOJ statistics show significant drops in black on black violence, and even white male on white male violence, but white males are the #1 killers of white women and white males.

White women trying to keep the peace & uphold their communities take the full brunt of ALL of this BS. Not the white women who own the cat houses or the white women like creme brulle playing puppet master from afar. They suffer nothing, but perhaps it's high time they (along with yourself) did.

Enough with your lying. It's sickening.

How is it that you aren't vomitting from all these lies you're telling yourself? When NRA blocked DC from prohibiting weapons they're forcing pacifists in a position to compete with predators for the privilege of breathing. NRA prefers to see more Columbines happening.

Their conduct and THEIR histrionic extremes haven't one thing to do with the promotion/ defense of the true meaning of 2nd amendment. They're peddling paranoia and inciting riots to sell armaments surely as our military industrial complex has gotten completely out of hand. Some strategically installed police officials are advocating that everyone be mandated to carry fire arms. They're abdicating their own authority as adults in leadership roles surely as you yourself have been habituated by bogus conservative mantras.

One radio show said he was hiding out in Israel. If I was him that's where I'd be.

I'm actually open to other perspectives. I try to espouse the truth, but if what I state is false, I will hold myself accountable and entertain differing opinions.

Did I state any falsehoods? Or do you just not have an intelligent rebuttal?

That is what I heard here today too. They said that, if he is in fact a Jew, he is an automatic citizen of Israel and they will not extradite him.

I totally agree with you.

The issue I have with this mentality is that "slavery", "oppression", and "white privilege" are used as crutches in the Black community. This mentality is reinforced by well-intentioned liberals who seek to explain their behavior.

Many Vietnamese, Korean, African, Russian, etc. immigrants have experienced conditions that most Americans of any race have never faced. They DO NOT use this as an excuse or a crutch for deviant behavior.

Um edward you are my ilk. I was recanting what actually happened. The community called for the guys arrest and they got it two days later. What does this have to do with black people?

Mr Zimmerman had reason to be afraid, too. He didn't know Mr Martin, didn't know why Mr Martin was there, didn't know if Mr Martin was a member of a gang, didn't know if Mr Martin was meeting up with other young men, didn't know if Mr Martin was armed. It's easy in hindsight to say that Mr Zimmerman, given all he didn't know, should have let the police handle the situation.
DC there's a point you've missed that intrinsically points to Zimmerman's inexcusable guilt. If Zimmerman were factually fearful of anything AT ALL he would not have escalated the situation the way he did being 10+ yrs his senior, armed & dangerous. There is no defense, which makes a joke of the entire Sanford PD. HE was the adult and HE was the aggressor. PERIOD.

Most people do not understand the rules of engagement even when dealing with legitimate confrontations from LE. I suggest you all learn them before insane laws like these show up in your town USA entirely uninformed about how it will play out in boots on the ground reality.
