I think it is escalating to something in race relations that won't be very good...its so tense right now. Having a discussion in class today was so heated. I'm trying to look at it all from an objective point of view as an outsider looking in as most should and to be completely honest, I see the black leaders like Sharpton and Jackson taking advantage of this to kind of further the whole this is racist blah blah argument. The more that keeps coming to light, I am changing my opinion. Maybe Travyon is innocent. Maybe Zimmerman is innocent. Only time will tell and we now can only get one side of the story since one is dead. It is an important case, however the backlash against whites is not being broadcasted on the national media. There was an 80 something year old man beat up two days ago while a group of black teens said around him "This is for Trayvon." Which the elderly man had nothing to do with it. There was a group of black teenagers also drenching a white teen in gas and setting him on fire saying something along the same lines. It is insane how stupid humans are sometimes. I cannot grasp it. Then we have Sharpton and Jackson taking advantage of the situation as well. Zimmerman saying "Fucking Nigger" on the 911 call. It is a mess but hopefully the truth shall be revealed soon...
Ry, can you see this escalating into the next '1992 Los Angeles riots'?
Definitely. I was only a year old at the time but from talking to my aunt she says its the same kind of issue from before...the one thing popping in my head is, "history always ends up repeating itself."

Yeah, I mean opinions on the case are definitely racially divided. USA Today made a poll, and apparently 73% of blacks said they think George Zimmerman would have been arrested if Trayvon was white, while only 33% of whites agreed. The majority of whites polled — 52% — said race made no difference in the way the case was handled. (http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-04-05/trayvon-martin-poll/54047512/1)
oh god i really hope not. That would be awful. im trying to remember wasn,t the riots of 1992 had something to do with O.J Simpson?
No. :)) The O.J Simpson trial was 94/95. The 1992 Los Angeles riots were due to three white and one Hispanic Los Angeles Police Department officers being acquitted from the murder of Rodney King, I believe.

It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.
I wouldn't really call that a zombie gun (it was called that probably for more hits), it's more of a microwave gun. Either way it's not good and I don't like it at all.
Comment from yahoo: What is being described is nothing new or special.
They are describing the effects of a high power microwave emitter when it is focused at close range on a mass of people.
Essentially they are cooking people from the inside out to get them to not protest.
The damage from exposure to such a gun will be permanent and permanently debilitating.
It is a monstrous use of common mocrowave emitter technology and the U.N. should call for that technology to never be used against anyone,period.
The characterization of it being a zombie gun won't be funny when the people it is used on become wards of the places where they are because they have had their brains cooked to the point where they can no longer feed themselves much less be a normal member of society.

If I hear one more fucking thing about Trayvon Martin being some innocent kid and that Zimmerman is just a racist and it was a hate crime random gun shot because Trayvon was black, I'm going to start flipping shit. People have no idea what the fuck they're talking about, loll. If they were opposite colors people would've been like "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!"
God this why I fucking hate shit like the NAACP. Until shit like this ends, I'm sorry, there's NEVER going to be equality. It's not my opinion, it's fact. If you want equality then you don't get special treatment, but time and time again there is special treatment. It's annoying. And this isn't even talk from a white person, loll, it's from a foreign born arab :p

LOL I hate the NAACP as well, as well as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson taking the spotlight in all this to spread their agendas...however the more that comes out I feel that Zimmerman will be found guilty, of course that is my own speculation but he was a person that was told to stay in his vehicle before the cops arrived, but instead he kept pursuing the kid and like anyone in that situation if theres a stranger coming up to me and asking me what im doing and everything else Zimmerman did I would be a little standoffish. All kids at an early age are taught to avoid strangers and its a sentiment that carries with most people as they grow older haha. Idk Like I am trying not to have an opinion on the case but really with this case it seems that everyone already has their minds made up in a way and it is the wrong way to go about things. You ask random people on the street if they think Zimmerman is guilty or Trayvon attacked Zimmerman provoking him to fire a weapon. Everyone is trying to come up with their own conclusions. Theres evidence on both sides released to the media that shows either is a possible answer to the case but the thing about america is that everyone wants to come up with their own conclusions even before the case has gone to trial. I could not agree with you more Martin that everyone is kind of making up their own conclusions. The fact is all of the evidence is not yet reveled. Only time will tell what the real answers to this case are...
Also on equality I have been thinking of this a lot lately and I agree with you there. The fact is, is that racism will never be gone in our society, the sad truth is, is that the only way to end it is to end it yourself and do your best to get others to think about what they say or think. It is wrong for animals to feel this way but one very true thing I read about once (which I am trying to look up to share) is about racism in different animals and how different breeds of dogs are provoked to attack others or "bully" and target them. It is an ongoing study but they are doing experiments now with cats, horses, mice, cows and monkeys. They are monitoring their behaviors and recording everything. It cracked me up because then it shows that racism is pretty much a part of life with animals from mice to humans. Humans though have a higher capacity of brain power though than all other animals so we do have the power to stop racism but how does one go about that? How does one end racism? Exactly, it is impossible. lol
2 white men in tulsa allegedly opened fire on a group of 5 black men. today.
PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!
Time for rallies about this shit, let's go.
Honestly, why don't people hold rallies for dying children or a cause THAT ACTUALLY FUCKING MATTERS! I'm sorry, one murder is nothing compared to the amount that die in africa or maybe this pointless war or SHIT TONS that goes on but no, there's a fucking rally for someone who may have been a drug dealer that could've been shot because he attacked someone, lmfao. Fucking people -.-
actually it really did happen. i saw it on abc nightly news. what the hell is wrong with people.? i mean these guys didn,t even know the guys and they just rolled up on them and opened fire. i mean WTF?

That's new to me. The only thing I know is that NBC was called out for airing an edited 911 call in which the context was changed.

They were acquitted of having used unnecessary force on Rodney King. The thing is, I believe, is that the public had a limited view of what went down that night, but the jurors were able to see the tape in its entirety.

I was writing this on my phone and must have got distracted. He said "fucking coons." and the context hasn't been altered...
CNN has brought in voice experts and they agree that it sounds like "fucking coons." What else could he be saying? Fucking Goons? People are saying Fucking Cold.
Who really says goons anymore? lol I dont hear cold either...lol
none of this matters the guy killed him in an unprovoked attack. Martin was walking and the guy follows him? fucking charge his ass with murder. how the hell is this self defense? its fucking ludicris. to think that someone can be just walking down the street and someone can start following you and then shoot you and claim self defense?
Maybe because he was most likely attacked Nick? Trayvon isn't some innocent child, he's a 6'3'' giant with a history of suspensions from school and people think he may have been involved in drug dealings. I'm not saying those are reasons to kill someone, there's never a reason to kill someone, but to say he's just an innocent person minding his own business and that this is a hate crime without evidence is dumb.

Martin is right ^^^ You can't point fingers when it is this early in the case. Everyone thinks they know what happened...now it is time for the law to put together the pieces and figure out what actually happened beyond speculation as they have been doing for weeks now...

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black.
Here is the full, unedited text of the exchange in which the dispatcher raises the race issue:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.
