This folks, shows a racially motivated crime. Until we find Zimmerman say one negative thing about Trayvon, can we drop the race bait from that case for a while?
We need someone demanding justice for the white tourists, because life in jail for two lost lives is not justice.
Well, what's stopping you? Start your change.org petition. If you feel an injustice has taken place, don't look around for other folks to take action. YOU do it.
SARASOTA --
A 17-year-old from Sarasota has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the deaths of two British tourists.
Shawn Tyson killed James Cooper, 25, and James Kouzaris, 24, on April 16, 2011.
Defense lawyers were scheduled to call another witness Wednesday but did not. The state then rested its case and closing arguments started a short time later.
According to investigators, the men had been drinking heavily that night and somehow ended up in the Sarasota neighborhood of Newtown.
Prosecutors say Tyson shot the men multiple times after a botched robbery attempt. Earlier this week, one of his friends, Latrice Washington, testified to that claim.
"He shot one of them in the side and one of them fell instantly,'' Washington said on the stand. "And then the other one was crying for his life and he (Tyson) shot him and emptied the clip on him.''
I don't know why people want these people to be sorry. He murdered them. He might be sorry he was caught. Sociopaths need to feel the cold of an anvil on their testicles. They'll tear up when you bring out the sledge.

I didn't realize that the word 'cracker' was a racial slur.

Because
1). I have other things to do with my life like my job, take care of my family, maintain my property instead of parading around. While I feel for the family, I am not connected to them like everyone is connected to Trayvon.
2). What is it going to do besides create more white vs black tension. Look this black kid is a racist and hates whites. Keep bringing attention to a problem and it seems to grow and get bigger. Aren't we trying to blur the line between different people and races?
Witnesses openly threatened with retribution. Public housing residents terrorized by this crime, which occurred in their midst. Neighbors drained by the sounds of gunfire in the night.
That's not the type of thing that should be considered acceptable in a supposedly first-world state.
What was sad is that when this occured many on the Sarasota boards(many of whom are realtors) blamed the victims. Can't admit the area has any problems.
"They must have been looking for drugs". No, they were two young guys who were looking for an IHOP and not knowing the area ended up in a bad area, which in place like Sarasota which is not that big isn't that difficult to do.
It's good he got 1st degree murder but two families still lost two young sons.
No what is sad is this page or the being upset over these teens isnt the same as it is T martin.
The president and our elected officials arent speaking about their death
In case you missed it he is in jail. He has been convicted. Your boy zimmerman is free enjoying life as I type.
Free yes, enjoying life, I don't think so with a 1 mill bounty on his head.
Is jail a justifiable form of punishment in this case, I don't think so
