What I find ironic in all of this, is that NOBODY comes out and says that this is a racially motivated HATE CRIME. You will NEVER see the media come out and call this RACISM...because they reserve THAT term for white people who even SPEAK words that are twisted to mean something else in most cases.
And even more ironic...this is going to continue and the next Trayvon Martin case will come up...and we will have the very same A-holes who instigated all of this violence calling for 'justice' and SCREAMING RACISM and HATE CRIME.
My sympathies to this man who was beaten by a mob...funny..it always seems to take a whole MOB of these people doesn't it? And when one of these 'mob' folks gets shot..then what? How long do the blacks think the whites are going to just turn the other cheek before someone with a hot head takes a bit of 'justice' himself? and how long will we continue to listen about how the blacks are abused by whites?
Very sad these times we live in...I guess that's what happens when you have a president and a government that doesn't know how to LEAD a country.
Has a crime anywhere ever been called a hate crime when a caucasion person was the victim? I certainly don't recall a high profile one that garnered national attention.
My point is that Zimmerman was given the benefit of the doubt, (that was why he was initially released ) there was no shortage of reasonable scenarios that would permit him to understandably have kill "his attacker"
so in your mind, inventing the premises that matthews was A] viiolent, and B] heading back to the house to retrieve a weapon, are reasonable scenarios, and justified his being beaten, despite not having a shred of evidence to back up either?

Pretty much. Remember, progressives are narrative driven; "facts" are picked to support said narrative.
Even family and friends of Matthew Owens admit there was some tension on this street before Saturday night's event. And they say a lot of this has to do with basketball. Relatives of the victim, who live on the street, say local kids often block Delmar Drive when they play basketball. They say it's lead to some confrontations. Racial comments from both sides may have made the confrontations more toxic.

It is as ridiculous as an armed man who feared for his life so he shot a boy armed with candy. The police accepted that story.
What this mob may have proved is that bigots an racist are ignorant and violent no matter what color they come in. I think it bothers people to see that some African Americans are capable of committing the same racist acts against others that have been committed against them.
" forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors."
Yawn another thread where I see lots of the usual racists on this board foaming at the mouth at the opportunity to shoot some blacks and quench their bloodthirst. Nothing new here.

lol. Nah, it's more like, let's defend the jungle mentality because a WHITE person was assaulted.

did matthews have a physical altercation with anyone before he was beaten? were there wounds inflicted by matthews on the basketball kids or the mob of 20 who beat matthews? you have no comparison.

it's almost as bothersome to see people invent completely imaginary events to justify 20 or more people beating a man unconcious on his front porch, leaving him in a pool of blood, and saying that's 'justice for trayvon martin'
Let's remember, first, that the majority of black people don't subscribe to this.
Let's remember, next, that there is a very ugly minority among black people who, regrettably, do.
It's all about teching everyone in this nation to discern between the two groups.
The 50-cent word for this is discrimination, and there's nothing wrong with discrimination of this sort.
Awesome and well thought.
Stereotyping doesn't work out well for anyone.
