You should attach <sarcasm> to that, or at least a "Roll Eyes."

Black people get robbed for "flossing" frequently, this is nothing new.

As far as the beating he took, that was extra, but it happens. The color of his skin was not the underlying reason he took that beating tho. Those cameras rolling and him being an outsider they knew wouldnt be able to stop them were. They simply saw an opportune time for them to make a worldstarhiphop video and siezed it.

If he didnt step to the dude like he did after his watch was taken he probably wouldnt have gotten beat up. They probably wouldve just been robbed and humilated him. But once he stepped to that guy he gave him a reason to take it to another level. The punch he was hit with, outside of the punchers power, wasnt anything special, his head hitting the ground was.....

Here's a news flash tho, banking (jumping) and stripping people isnt anything new out here. Its just that now you actually see it happen to someone you deem undeserving its a problem.

This dude was simple. Should he have gotten beaten like this, no....but he also should have been more aware of his surroundings.




you just said it, they are siezing on people who look vulnerable. Their are plenty of wh1te dudes here who dont look vulnerable..........if you know you look like a chump work on changing that or deal with the consequences
The simple fact of the matter is - a lone white person is vulnerable and is assualted or at least harassed if he comes upon a pack of black youths. This is epidemic not only in Baltimore but across the country. Of course the media will ignore it but it is happening.

And it is tolerated. The police would have done nothing about this particular hate crime of angry citizens had not done their work for them online.
Look up black on white crime in America its happening constantly. A few years back a white grad student was targeted robbed and shot to death by black criminal gang members, they freely admited it was because he was white and looked like he had money. Never heard of it?? No , I'm not surprised.
One thug with a criminal past and almost certain criminal future was killed after assualting a neighborhood watch volunteer and the country is beside itself!

The sad state of America. Its priorities are screwed up. Non black America (not just whites) need a high profile loud mouth of their own to act as an advocate. Blacks commit hate crimes far more than other races and the media could care less.

I would like to suggest that everyone read the book "The Warmth of Other Suns". It will sting a bit but it is an important part of history. We need to understand our history in order to move forward.

if u feel the law is unjust, break it.

Your second sentence gives the implication that you dont feel Zimmerman should have been arrested for shooting Trayvon Martin. Is this correct?
Yes this is correct the evidence is not there for an arrest and certainly not there for a conviction. We can discuss further on the P&OC board if you like.

Oh heres one: U.S. News - Man faces charges in bloody hammer killings of Las Vegas woman and daughter

A murderous black thug rapes and murders a Hispanic woman and her 10 year old daughter and beats the father. A crime much worse than the thug Trayon Martin getting himself shot. Where is the outrage and the endless press coverage?
What angers me about this (besides the unbelievable nature of the crime) is what would be going on if the races were reversed. You better believe Jesse and Al would be spooging all over themselves to get in on this!
