Hey Cali, now would be a good time to post one of those white flash mob videos off youtube.

Right-wingers manage to live (un)fulfilling lives despite being poster boys/girls for that law.

Stop using it as justification for the boy's death.

Altering? Benzodiazepines are used to treat anxiety and to a lesser extent, as muscle relaxers. I don't think they'd get GZ all ramped up, looking for a fight, but it may have made it easier for him to confront someone of whom he might otherwise fear, I guess.

Too bad Martin didn't have the same opportunity.

Calling someone an "idiot"???....... Didn't you just condemn that sort of thing just recently in this thread?

Besides, not having a criminal record is sometimes due to not getting caught. TM was lucky, caught and still no record.
More than that, they didn't want to hurt their "statistics" by actually providing data that they had another criminal in the school. So they suppressed the evidence and didn't report it to the police. They should be charged as accessories.

Is there a transcript available of the questions GZ was asked on this lie detector test?

We're supposed to take GZs word that he turned his back on tm at the doorstep of his house after a nice peaceful exchange of words and he got taken by surprise in the way back to his car?

No way. What happened was GZ ran his mouth, TM ran his mouth and they got in a fight. GZ became no better then the average cocky teenager except he had an agenda and a gun. If TM were alive they should both face charges for disorderly conduct. But because TM is dead, GZ should pay.

Nope, just a bigoted pejorative. About equivalent to referring to Deedee as "Precious".

If I ever had to shoot someone in an absolute legitimate self defense situation, and the person I had to shoot happened to be black, is there any chance that I would not be portrayed as a racist in the media?
