You read that all wrong (not surprised). How about you actually follow the conversation rather than jumping in at the end? Lessens your likelihood of looking foolish.

lol. The audacity you people have.

You people? Since when do I represent anyone other than myself? Not to mention you don't even know what you're talking about.

Did you enter this thread to discuss Trayvon's tragic death? No? Well, then......................

Like I said, MYOB. You have enough problems defending your own arguments. No need to insert yourself into another discussion about which you know very little (if anything).

Were you not just discussing how you don't care about blacks from other countries and how you can teach them a little something? Did you or did you not just post that back there? Which is it? And YES, the AUDACITY for you to look down upon other people like you do because they don't show gratitude for something they had absolutely nothing to do with and has no effect on them whatsoever? It sounds like you are the true bigot here, not Zimmerman like you'd like to pretend.

'violent acts against children'? that sounds like child abuse, not molestation.

'accept the true'? i already have. i am still waiting for you to catch up, though
I have the FACTS on my side

According to the Survey of Inmates of State Correctional Facilities by the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics, the following statistics have been recorded concerning the characteristics of offenders who violate and assault children.

- Those inmates who were convicted of committing violent acts against children were more like to have been white, a percentage of nearly 70%, than any other race.
- White inmates were nearly three times more likely to have victimized a child than black inmates.


Sorry if the true is repulsive to you but the facts are on my side and the discussion ends here. Accept the truth.

How sad is it that the boy was on the phone with his mother moments before he was gunned down.

The FBI and USDOJ wouldent even give two ****s. This is only being looked into because the victim is Black and the shooter was White.
Huh?

If Trayvon Martin was a white kid that got shot in his father's Gated Community by a mostly white (Zimmerman's dad is white and his mother is "latino" (which basically means a combination of Spanish(white) and indigenous blood)) neighborhood watch self appointed "captain", there would be a sh*t storm just like it is now. But for different reasons of course. They would probably focus on the "law" of the state with its ccw and no back down doctrines. Still, a sh*t storm nonetheless.

Now it gets interesting from this point. What do the police do? 17 year old white boy that wieghs about a buck fifty endangering a 250 pound 28 year old armed with a gun claiming self defense. I guess my bias would be showing if I assume that the man would at least get arrested. Also the phone records of him talking to his girlfriend right up to the point when Zimmerman attacks him? Not looking good for Zimmerman while he's in jail.

So basically, your premise is completely incorrect because it can't be a cold case since the shooter is known. Sheesh.

Also, even if we look at your premise about a "white kid getting robbed and shot" and no one solving it, don't you think the same could be same for the numerous cases of black kids getting "robbed and shot." Here's a little exercise for you. See how many "black kid robbed and shot, no suspect found" national stories there have been in the past 6 months. Then do the same for "white kid robbed and shot, no suspect found" national stories for the past 6 months.
