I don't behave badly, so I need not make excuses for anything. I am pointing out the words of people who say that the behaviors of some black people reflect badly on all black people. Does that sound at all familiar to you?
It's funny the white rioting you are talking about didnt even happen in the United States.
What difference does that make?
And just to note: I'm not only talking about that riot in Canada. I'm sure you aren't ignorant to the riots that occur after *US* sporting events, so I'm not gonna even entertain your feigned ignorance.
Especially when Zimmerman himself thought Trayvon was acting suspiciously when he claims he saw Trayvon reach for something from his waistband (as stated on the NEN call).
Okay, the prosecution just mentioned the reaching for the phone thing and also played the video of GZ being asked by the detective why he did not realize that TM might have thought that he (GZ) was reaching for a weapon.
I guess Emmett Till's death, the massacre that occurred in Rosewood Florida and the events that happened in Tulsa in 1921 (black wall street) makes the white community look perfect huh?
That's so true. There's this misconception that whites have something to fear from rioting or rampaging blacks, yet in the history of the U.S. black people have been attacked and displaced from their homes, followed, lynched, and killed far more often by whites.
Even Sanford Florida itself is the former site of a black town, that had it's own Mayor, it's own city council----the tycoon Sanford came in and said forget about the existing town, I'm putting my own town in here, and the black people, the stable community, it was destroyed and displaced. !
Not a fail. You suggested (or agreed) that blacks rioting was indicative of the problem in the black community. Just interested in your take on how whites rioting is indicative of the problems in the white community. Aren't you embarrassed?
I'm embarrassed at the stretch you're desperately trying to make.
Just viewing that, I don't think GZ was absolutely sure it was necessary to do anything, but observe him. As far as TM was concerned, GZ could have been a resident. That is nothing to get worried about or angry about if you aren't doing something that appears to be suspicious. Why did that tick GZ off so much? And why did he want to continue walking around in the dark and rain? It took him 40 minutes to get from the 7-Eleven to the Complex. Why is he still outside, in the rain, if he is bringing his step-brother some Skittles...his step-brother who he was, supposedly, playing videos games with?
I would get upset if someone was following me in their car and staring at me. Jentel said that Martin was sitting at the club house (mailboxes) when it started to rain. My kids go for a walk and talk on the phone all the time, sometimes for 40 minutes and they haven't left my street which only takes 5 minutes if you are just walking. In FL it could be pouring one minute and stop the next, then drizzle then pour again. From what they (witnesses and cops) were saying it was doing that.

Right, and the bad behaviors of white people never seem to reflect badly on ALL white people, do they?
They play ignorant when cornered (and then skip the subject and never address your counter argument).
Bottom line: If we are discussing violence *within* one's own community, white males should kindly STHU.
Yeah........something about cornering the market and stuff...............
