"Earlier, a forensic expert testified Tuesday that Martin's gunshot wound indicated that he was likely on top of Zimmerman when the neighborhood watch volunteer shot him. Forensic pathologist Dr. Vincent DiMaio, an expert on gunshot wounds who has written and co-authored several articles and a book on the subject, said the single shot that killed the Florida teen passed through Martin's clothing as it hung 2-4 inches from his skin, indicating that Martin was over Zimmerman and leaning forward"
Geeorge Zimmerman's stupidity, irresponsibility and bad decision making was a catalyst that ended a teen's life. That should be considered recklessness and a manslaughter verdict does not seem extreme under the circumstaces.
You probably stand in line with concealed weapon carriers every time you go to the grocery store.
I know they are told not to be. I live in Texas. You think I don't know that people carry guns? You think I have a problem with them? If so, you're incorrect. People need to be responsible. Looking for trouble is doing just the opposite.
What I do know for fact is that our neighborhood watch discourages carrying firearms or doing anything other than watching when on neighborhood watch. This goes for most neighborhood watch groups in this area. I know plenty of people who belong to the neighborhood watch and they leave their guns at home.
No it's a reference to Gabourey Sidibe who played the character Precious in the movie Precious.
I can't comment since I've never seen the movie and have no idea what it's about, but I'm pretty sure it's a reference to the Duke case. Some people view this as Duke LaCrosse Part II -- a racially charged case where prosecutors are trying to railroad an innocent person. Hence, that's why I think the "Precious" reference refers to the Duke case, but I'm not familiar with that movie.
I'm guessing that if blacks 'feel the need' to riot and steal, burn and cause destruction there will be some of them that will pay-the-price for their stupidity by being hurt or killed themselves. It's not going to take much of a threat for people to shoot those idiots. In Texas you can even you can protect your neighbor's property by using deadly force.

To hear you tell it, the Teen contributed nothing to the outcome.
What about the Teen's decision making to search for Zimmerman rather than enter the safety of the house?
What about the Teen's decision to jump Zimmerman, punch him in the nose, and drag him to the ground?
What about the Teen's decision to straddle and punch Zimmerman "MMA style" and to bang his head into the concrete?
To hear you tell it, we could argue that rape victims are guilty of stupidity, irresponsibility, and bad decision making. "If she hadn't been walking alone at night...If she hadn't been wearing a dress..."

I know about the case. Google Rachel Jeantel and Precious and you'll see some pics of Gabourey Sidibe. They also said on the news that's who Frank Taffey was referring to and people on this forum mentioned her too.

It makes them feel better about their own bigotted little lives to call someone else perojatives. No different than calling someone racist terms. It shows their maturity level and prejudices, nothing more.
No, just trying to counter the use of 'Tray Tray', thug, 'chawing', etc. I learned it all from the zimbots! They gave plenty of examples of how to employ derogatory terms (or, to use your word, perojatives).
