(5) He was black.

So you were upset about it, untill you found out more about the victim?

Like the photo being 4 years old.  Yeah, if a dead guy isn't willing to keep more recent pictures of himself he surely deserves to die.

The recently released video of the shooter being brought in for questioning doesn't show any of the injuries he claims to have sustained.

I didn't relize being suspended from school for an empty bag that may have at one time contained pot was a capital offense.  I imagine now that we know it is, the line is going to be quite long for the death chamber.  I imagine even former presidents of both parties aren't exempt.

Gangster aspirations on his facebook page eh?  Is that worse than what you have on your page?

Nevermind the shooter is a loon who called the police more than 40 times last year and has been in trouble before for assaulting police and has had restraining orders placed on him.  Nevermind that Trayvon was simply walking home and tried to run away from the shooter when the shooter pursued him even though the police dispatcher specifically told him not to follow him.  Nevermind the shooter specifically told the police dispatcher that he is suspicious of Trayvon because he was black, and "they alwyas get away."

Why does this stuff always happen in Florida?  Is there something in the water?  Oh yeah, OIL from the BP/Trans Ocean/Halliburton debacle.  But we don't need any more regulations of oil companies or restrictions on gun sales or anything like that.  I'm sure this is just all Obama's fault right?

Hey SELLC,

Your views about parenting & the responsibilities involved are fair enough, & hold the "correct" values in accord, & it's good if not very surprising that your happy to post them here of all places LOL. However, I should remind you that peoples "life-circumstances" are not really for everyone to judge upon, & as a point, I'm sure that there are heaps of parents out there living ( successfully & some not quite so ), working & doing the best they can for their children, even if the relationship with the mother or father has failed. Some of these parents may well come from "parents of a broken marriage" and may not be able to understand what your trying to get across, since they have no experience of that way of life, & hence, you might well be unintentionally offending these "good" people.

Put simply, an individuals life can be ( & often is ) a very complicated one, & their fates might have had nothing to do with decisions made by themselves, but just the way "lifes-dice" happened to roll out for them. As long as your doing the best that you can for your kids is really all that matters, regardless of complicated circumstances.

However, throw the "media" into a situation that's really none of their concern, & they'll do whatever it takes to keep you watching the TV, buying the paper, turning on the radio etc. So really the true failure lies in all of "us", for feeding the parasites that make a living out of others miss-fortunes. Enough said, the world has been too crazy for a long time already !

Cheers,

Nice to see that President Obama can pressure Local, State and Federal investigators to this matter but what about all the other kids (some much younger than Trayvon) who don't look like Obama?

The real injustice here is the fact MSNBC and Obama put such a racist spin on this tragedy from the start that it overshadowed everything else! I mean Obama literally put the "politics" in this trial and I am sure many of the Jurors were left wondering how come 15 days of their lives were taken because Obama wanted to try an innocent man who was defending himself.

Seems the original decision of the Local Police not to prosecute was in fact the right course of action after all. I just hope this brings closure for everyone and that people realize racism is not just exclusive to a single race.

But most of this falls in the Media's lap. Whenever the Media decides to make a circus out of a hearing it often times results in a not guilty verdict. Take for instance O.J. Simpson. That trial had even more coverage and as a result I feel it really forces the Jurors in a corner. I think had this trial not been headline news a different verdict would have been handed down. No one wants to come off as the bad guy on national TV and often times Jurors in highly televised cases can't seem to convict, if only because they know everyone is watching. Get a Jury outside of the Media and you notice something different... The Jury feels more opinionated, more willing to throw someone under the bus. Zimmerman didn't even testify at his hearing which usually does not bode well for anyone in a Jury trial.

It does not sit well with me (having kids of my own mind you) that a young man of 17 years was killed. Regardless of the circumstances the killing of young Trayvon is not something people of ANY race would consider acceptable. Obama called this a tragedy in his video above and I would have to agree with him on that statement. 

If anything this caused me to talk to my kids about what it means to get in a fight with someone. You just never know and I tell them that fighting should only be a means of self defense and to avoid such altercations at all cost unless your life depends on it. But kids... You know how they are... That's what makes this a tragedy, because really he was just a kid not even 18 years old.

It pains me to say this, but better parenting could have prevented this. If Trayvons parents had never had gotten divorced none of this may have ever happened. People that have kids need to be more responsible and realize that when they have kids its no longer about them! Its about raising the family and sticking together! Nothing fucks up a kid more than getting stuck in the middle of a divorce and all the nasty shit that goes with it. It makes my blood boil just thinking about it.

There is no such thing as a bad kid! Just bad parents! I sure hope I can live up to my responsibility as a parent because its not always easy. Too many selfish parents that feel they dont have to make sacrifices to keep their family together. Too many irresponsible men and women having kids and not doing the responsible thing, which is to stick together and raise the family and thats the bottom line here.

I don't understand what you mean by "surprised that I am happy to post them here of all places"? What does that mean?

However, I should remind you that peoples "life-circumstances" are not really for everyone to judge upon, & as a point, I'm sure that there are heaps of parents out there living ( successfully & some not quite so ), working & doing the best they can for their children, even if the relationship with the mother or father has failed.

 I guess after reading my post it would appear that some might have taken my theories out of context. I don't mean to say there is no hope for separated families, nor do I propose to suggest that people have control over things that their partner may do to cause such upheavals. What I am trying to illustrate is that a lot of people simply do not care about anyone but themselves, in that it just seems divorce has become almost too common. I just feel people are not trying hard enough and it's not fair to their own family. It's very unfortunate and as you said complicated in many cases. However, despite all of that I can't think of anything more uncomfortable and up heaving for a kid to have to deal with. I'm getting off the Zimmerman topic and into divorce, but I think it's important to realize what kids in a divorced family have to deal with,

First off they have to deal with the fighting and arguing aka the incident or incidents. Then often times there is a tug of war with the kid being used as a rope. The separation usually is a complete upheaval considering the "family" is broken. All of that's nothing compared to whats next, as the parents move on a meet new boyfriends/girlfriends. The kids could care less about these people, and just seeing them is a constant reminder of your familys failure. Yet just as before there isn't anything you can do about it. The upheaval and otherwise uncomfortable feelings will continue on forever as family functions become uncomfortable from that point on, graduations, weddings, holidays, and every important thing thereafter. I don't think people think of this, and it's quite obvious it becomes a vicious cycle that will never end. So while a divorced parent may feel better with separation, it would be an enormously arrogant and selfish for them to think the kids feel the same, even if most of them might not want to admit it.

So there it is. A possible reason why Trayvon went from what looked to be a happy innocent boy 4 years ago, to a young man angry and seeking attention and acceptance on the streets, instead of with the family. Take it for what it's worth!

Really these are just facts that are not just exclusive to me.  I don't feel any "stories" have been told that would constitute what you consider to be an "outpouring of emotion" as to any specific details of my personal life outside of the obvious situations one would expect from a family splitting in half.

Insight is just what I was aiming for with regards to why Trayvon seemed to be getting into a lot of trouble and why he may have been aggressive leading up to the fatal encounter with Zimmerman.

Clearly PowerStroker has nothing to add, which is no surprise.

OOPS! Article I was referring to was not on my post, just a title. 

Here ya go.

Police: Man tried to steal plane for concert

Report: Suspect thought flying would be easy

August 1st, 2018by Lynn LaRowein Texarkana NewsRead Time: 1 min.

 

A man arrested at the Texarkana Regional Airport on July 4 allegedly told investigators he intended to fly a stolen plane to a rap music concert in another state.

Asked about his lack of training as a pilot, Zemarcuis Devon Scott, 18, allegedly told Texarkana, Ark., police that he didn't believe there was much more to the task than pushing buttons and pulling levers, according to a probable cause affidavit used to create the following account.

It was about 2:30 a.m. when airport security personnel contacted police about seeing a man jump a fence and attempt to enter an American Eagle twin-engine jet. By the time officers arrived, the suspect, later identified as Scott, had gotten onto the small commercial plane and closed the door behind him.

When officers shined a flashlight into the plane's cockpit from outside the jet, they could see a man sitting in the pilot's seat with his hands below the window and out of direct view. Fearing for their safety, an officer drew his weapon and ordered the man to keep his hands up where they could be seen.

When the suspect turned his gaze toward the officers, two of them allegedly recognized Scott from past encounters. Two of the three responding officers got the plane's door open while the third continued to monitor Scott until he could be taken into custody.

On Monday, Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Chuck Black formally charged Scott with commercial burglary and attempted theft of property with a value greater than $25,000. Both offenses are felonies punishable by three to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000.

Scott is being held in the Miller County jail with bail set at $25,000. The case has been assigned to Circuit Judge Carlton Jones. A date for Scott's arraignment on the charges hasn't been scheduled but he is expected to appear in court later this month.

I wonder what Obama's son would say about this?

Since Obama has been wadding back into the swamp ever so gingerly... 

I guess Obama's son would say "Whatever takes the heat off my Dad's Watergate!"

What if the narrative flips and we get another George Zimmerman verdict? Can we expect more looting and riots?

You can expect more looting and riots regardless. The nuts are on a rampage and nothing will stop it. Arrest violent protesters, put them in a FEMA camp awaiting trial which will happen 3 years min down the road.

Notice Omars 17 year old daughter in the riots? Her tweet asking for "supplies needed for my comrades in Minneapolis"

Notice DeBlasios son rioting too?

Notice vids of antifa walking around picking up loose bricks and smashing windows? Who staged the loose bricks? Who is funding (Nazi Soros) Who is pulling the strings?
