Disagree, Trayvon martin wasn't doing anything illegal before he was confronted by an overzealous man
who have no rights to question and follow him. And died because of it, that makes him a victim.

If you must compare, you got to compare Trayvon martin to the SUV driver instead. They were both
minding their own business until they were both confronted by trouble created by others.

I thought the bikers and SUV person were white actually.
And you posted before you read any of this on the news too.

he was doing something illegal when he assault zman, and he got shot. End of story. He could have just ran away, he was obviously more quick than ZMan, insterad he choose to attack Zman and teach him a lesson.

You act like if somebody is rude to you or asks you a question when you aren't doing anything illegal, you got the right to beat the hell out of them, ground n pound them in the heads on the sidewalk. That is some dumb logic.

I sided with the bikers before I knew what their race was.

Unlike you, I'm not a racist.

I don't even think this was a racial thing. The sad thing about this entire incident is that individually, a lot of these bikers are probably just regular dudes, with jobs and family. However, when you get hundreds of them together, the testosterone kicks in, it becomes Lord of the Flies on wheels and all hell breaks loose. In the video, a lot of the bikers are actually passive, with only a few actively being thuggish. The mob mentality takes over and you get caught up in moment.

Having said that, I have no sympathy for any of those MFs. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. I will not shed a tear if that thug dies or never walks again. I'll be pissed knowing that somehow my taxes are subsidizing his existence.

it would be racial if the bikers were white and the driver a minority. at least to our media. LOL they'd be talking about hate crimes and the bikers getting more jail time b/c it was a hate crime.

The DA should have thrown the book at as many thugs as possible just to show that these actions aren't acceptable but instead they let them go with minimal bail ... makes no sense ...

The NYPD won't label this a racial incident.. too much work, and no one cares about asians.

However, this would be a totally different story if it was a white, blonde transplant family from Kansas that was terrorized.

Agreed, especially with the lack of Asian public figures.

But the incident has at least as much to do with the fact that they were young and driving a mid to high end luxury vehicle. Young+$$+Asian gets a certain group of people fuming.
