Nice comment making fun of a murdered kid.
Your parents did a great job of raising you.
And that's one of his kinder, gentler posts.

What does having a penis have to do with being raped?
You realize that rape is a crime of control.
Many people are raped with knives, wooden shafts, etc.

Probably the same conclusion that we should have arrived at with GZ - given his history of assault.

Your understanding?

I don't have a crystal ball. But keep in mind that, according to Zimmerman, Trayvon ASSAULTED him. If you gave the gun to an assaulter, who knows if Zimmerman, the friendly neighborhood watchman, would be alive today.

TS is a race monger whose strategy is to promote division.

If TS was Japanese, he'd still be demanding reparations from Japan and Germany and They would be demanding reparations from US. He would be encourage long suffering grudges and make an excellent living by preying on the ignorant....a well known strategy employees for centuries by charlatans and despots.

The USA highways would be devoid of hondas and mitsubishis.

The question in the OP is preposterous and meant as a symbolic attempt to promote frustration and hate, relying on emotion and and setting aside reason.

If TS can't answer his own question he is a lost soul who will never find peace in this life.

Makes you wonder why the photos of a hand holding a gun was not examinded closely to determine if that was TM's hand. Sure 'the scream' was questinable but not a picture of a hand.

Average gang member is 15 years old and most probably carry guns. Why doesn't TS question why the they carry guns and why most black men are killed by black men?

Apparently TS endorses children to illegally carry guns and wonders why the NRA doesn't agree with him.

Now when that argument is flipped, you are against it ?

The NRA doesn't usually advocate that those casing joints carry guns. It seems that Smiley has gone 'round-the-bend.

According to Zimmerman?
Like I'd believe him. He was on trial for his life and the only other person who was party to the incident was dead, at this hand.
So it's a-ok that one person (the gun holder) is alive and the unarmed person is dead.
The only testimony we have is the testimony of the person who killed the other party.

The same gun nuts who brag about handling a gun at the age of 15.
