Is shooting a goddamn unarmed black kid legal?

I've never listened to Rush in my life. I base my opinions on facts. You've been brainwashed by Democraric leaders telling you there is a war against everyone that isn't a democrat by republicans. Stop spreading hate.
Let's review the facts: democrats have said the cop is a racist and a murderer with zero evidence. They are telling the black community there is a war against them. They are telling them white privilege exists and that all white cops have it out for black men. The democratic governor of MO has already basically said the cop is guilty. The governor should resign for being unfit for office and corrupt. These are all facts. Not debatable.
Republicans have said wait for the evidence to come out, we don't know what happened.
People like you are truly disgusting individuals that use a kids death for political gain. And you have the guts to call out the other side? Typical democrat--point the finger at someone else and make up lies about them when in reality you are the ones doing what you are claiming the other side is doing.
Keep voting democrat--it's done wonders for the black community and our country. We have a robust economy, everyone gets along, and our foreign policy is excellent.
Blacks bettering themselves is a nightmare scenario for Dems. Keep them dumb, full of hate, and on the government dole and you control their every move. Truly sickening. Someone needs to put a bullet in Al Sharptons head and no that isn't too harsh.

I think a lot of is based in underlying fear, a feeling of uneasiness at what they see and latent racism..  though, of course, they'll deny it... which is also symptomatic of the attributes I just mentioned.

as you know, America has been a white man's entity since it's conception. And, for the most part, an upper-middle class white mans world.

Suddenly minorities (and women) have a voice, some sense of influence and power. Now the white folks and their (seemingly) genetic fiber of entitlement feels threatened. They see their country - as they know it - one in which they've had total control of - slipping away into the hands of the ones who have been discriminated against for so long. And it makes them nervous.. because deep down they know what has been perpetuated in America for generations - and they see monumental changes on the horizon as it relates to who will become the minority and who is increasingly having a voice at the table - and they look across that table and see people that have been disenfranchised for decades and decades by their power and influence.

Obviously, they don't like how that makes them feel... it's why they smear both the life AND death of Michael Brown while telling us to "reserve judgement" for the police officer. Ya know, the white guy.

PERIOD. This whole fiasco is over false statements, delusions and entitlement emotions. There have been multiple reports (police dispatch) that state the cop has over 12 witnesses corroborating his statements and Darrin Wilson will not be charged.  Darrin Wilson is a hero and I already donated to his defense fund which is at over 135,000 dollars now.

Of course, if you're the fat, cowardly, and physically inept type, the best course of action is not to follow people around and confront them.

But it was OK for Trayvon to follow Zimmerman, confront and attack him?

Why is it so important to list the weight and size of these dudes? I have had a hard time with this item. People are making them out to be men when I look back at when I was 18 and just laugh about my size, granted I was 5'11 and 165 but no where near as strong as I am today.

I think you're mixing up who followed who in that situation. Does Mr. Martin confront Mr. Zimmerman if Mr. Zimmerman does not follow Mr. Martin? No.

I saw a video of a black thug put his hand around the neck of a 60 year old shop owner who was twice his size?  I saw a black thug commit assault and battery?  I personally have never committed assault and battery, have you?

EDIT:  Here is a picture of the upstanding criminal known as Mike Brown and his criminal friend who was the 'eye witness' to the shooting..no way his friend would lie, right?

Personally, people that pose in pictures pointing a gun, smoking a blunt, and having wads of cash in their mouth...first thing I assume is that they are an upstanding citizen who is going to be an honor student in college...if only a racist white cop wouldn't have shot him dead while he was begging for his life..

Have to arrest Wilson.  At least let him have his day in court.  Jesus.

Self defense does not require that your attacker be armed with a gun, a hand grenade, a rocket launcher, a bag of killer bees or have the ability to call in an air strike. It only requires that you believe, with reasonable justification, that you are in imminent danger of bodily harm or death. The capacity of human beings to cause bodily harm or death to each other did not magically appear with the first gun.

Let's wait for the facts to come out at trial before we make up our minds on this issue.

StylesGShmooth wrote:Wow, they aren't even trying anymore.  Why not just say 'We executed him, what are you gonna do about it'

Quick question, if this becomes a national story how much money do you think will be raised for the victim and his family?  Not the dead guy, the cop who inevitably won't be charged with anything anyway.

Considering that story is from 2 months ago and you're just now seeing it? I'm gonna assume nothing happens and the cop is free to murder again.

Rocinante wrote:Jesus, how afraid of black people are they?

It's ****ing comical.  The governor has the goddamn national guard on standby.  The schools are closed, the ****ing mayor of St. Louis has asked for National guard to be posted in strategic areas around his city preceding the Grand Jury's decision (I wonder where).  People are stockpiling goods like it's the end of the world.  

Put half that energy into reforming the police, and none of this ever takes place.
