Maybe Obama’s constant race baiting and class warfare rhetoric did not incite the two Black youths to set a White teenager on Fire on his own front porch. But it clearly does not help. Maybe Obama would be a better person and leader if he stopped dividing every group there is in this country and maybe, just maybe, tried to live up to his campaign rhetoric of him being a “UNITER”

I have seen the articles. I think the kid is full of crap and until I see evidence to the contrary I will stick with that.

No witnesses. No suspects. Gas can left behind (any prints)? Nothing but the word of the kid. Not much of a story here until some more facts are brought out.

In the case of Trayvon Martin there was an opportunity for the cops to do their jobs and they half assed it. Maybe he did attack him and maybe he didn't. Who knows but know thanks to shoddy police work we really won't know.

Thank you Judge Judy.

Let's see:
Body - Check
Weapon - Check
Confession - Check

And no arrest?? Interesting.

I agree....the racism of the Sanford PD. And their incredibly inept police investigation.

Most likely no:

Quote:
Under the influence of androgens, the voice box, or larynx, grows in both sexes. This growth is far more prominent in boys, causing the male voice to drop and deepen, sometimes abruptly but rarely "over night," about one octave, because the longer and thicker vocal folds have a lower fundamental frequency. Before puberty, the larynx of boys and girls is about equally small.[40] Occasionally, voice change is accompanied by unsteadiness of vocalization in the early stages of untrained voices. Most of the voice change happens during stage 3-4 of male puberty around the time of peak growth. Full adult pitch is attained at an average age of 15 years[citation needed]. It usually precedes the development of significant facial hair by several months to years.
That being said Zimmerman should be able to replicate his screams for help anyways right?

Hey Mayor Nutter, your city is the Homicide Capital of the United States! Maybe you should shut up & do some work in your own back yard.
I wouldn't be so sure. There are plenty of white idiots that have weighed in with the same opinion. Never mind examining the evidence or the statements of witnesses.

If Martin was white and Zimmerman was black, Zimmerman would've been arrested and we wouldn't be talking about a possible "hate crime". But that of course, is a hypothetical situation.

I still need to hear more information before I can make a judgement on the shooting. I'm a cynic...
