Some racist follows an unarmed 17-year-old African American boy. The boy buys candy and iced tea at a convenience store and continues walking home. The neighborhood watch scumbag stalks the boy, murders him with a gun, and then claims he was acting under Florida's stand your ground law, which states that a person can defend himself from an attacker rather without fearing legal prosecution.
The law was intended so that victims of violent crimes like rape, robbery, and attempted murder could fight back without risking prosecution. It was not intended to give a person the right to pro-actively engage someone in battle, and if you win -- which isn't hard when your armed with a gun and the other person is a minor with no weapons -- then you get away with murder. However, the police didn't arrest the murderer. After all, the victim did look suspicious. He had suspicious skin tone.
And that is why I hate social conservatism. A boy with his entire life ahead of him, snuffed out because of some stupid reptilian xenophobia.

Did you know what happened when Zimmerman was charged with resisting an officer with violence?
It was reduced to resisting an officer without violence by the prosecutor, and then charges were dropped when he agreed to go to an alcohol rehab program.
Then the records were sealed.
Thanks dad!

Yeah, charges like that aren't reduced and dropped unless you have connections. And it turns out that George Zimmerman's dad is a retired judge in the county where this happened. Geeze, I guess that explains a lot, including why he wasn't originally charged with Martin's death.
People who's daddies aren't retired judges and friends of the current judges don't get off so easily for assaulting police officers.

I came back to find that BAP33 hasnt shown any growth, nor developed any empathy for humanity. BAP33 sadistic and sick nature is still alive. After reading previous responses to the threads I am reminded of our previous discussions in which you have proven yourself to be nothing more than a racists yourself:
Read your own words below and I quote:
1. BAP33 Says: “crack addicted single mother of 5 (each with a different daddy) that is a 6th generations-removed slave”
2. BAP33 Says: "I have no remorse for the losers of a war that were made slaves instead of killed in battle. That is where the black slave sellers of Africa got the slaves they sold to slave traders … they gathered them up like bounty. Another silly racist. Blacks made slaves out of blacks. Go get ‘em."
3. BAP33 Says: "So, with the debt being secured by the home, and without all of the free loans pumping money into the hands of landscapers named Pedro to come along and by the house from me for 150% more than I paid, I just don’t see me leveraging up. "
Those statement show you have no empathy towards BLACKS or MEXICANS. Luckily for us, you have the economic power of a turtle crawling out to sea and these thousands of rants on this post only serve as a reminder to Americans that idiots like you still do exist.

Clarence, you failed to read my detailed response that shared how many more male negros would be saved by ending elective abortions - a true heart fealt way to save some young male negros - but, it seems that saving lives is not the target.
Now, Clarence, you must go watch this video and educate yourself as to why a person must be able to defend from attacks. Enjoy the video, and please respond!! Thanks.

Quit fucking referring to people as NEGROES and PEDRO....no one is referring to you as ****. Ummm...I have no clue of a word to insert here so you choose a euphemism of your liking. Have some respect for the people you are speaking of. Stop dehumanizing people using terms from the 40s and I will stay off your fuckin ass. You make yourself to be an insensitive asshole when you call Mexicans PEDRO and refer to me and others as NEGROES.
I watched the video, and everyone here knows we have a bunch of sick, lazy people living in America within all communities. It is a result of our capatilist economy...not everyone has the desire or ability to work like you and I. The economy cannot support everyone and opportunities are sparse so that leaves a ton of people to engage in miscrient behaviors. There are only so many middle management positions to go around so someone will have to sweep the floors....or choose a life of crime and stupidity.
The lack of national attention on this case is a result of the past 50years of course reversal in which national news and media has attempted to portray blacks as victims where as the first 50 we were portrayed as demons, capable of what occured in that video. The first 50 years of the 1900s portrayed us as animals underserving of respect or dignity.
In reality, it is a select few amongst any and all communities capable of this kind of stupidity. It is deplorable and sick.

I dont think your cause and effect are in line.
There has never been a way to create more opportunities for the masses than via a free-market capitalist system. Replace the label "capitalist economy" with "fascist-welfare-warfare economy" and I'd agree with you.
Most likely a definition problem. The media does a great Orwellian job of stripping every important word of its definition.

Yes, I agree that capitalism creates more opportunity than any other system....I was attempting to show that even capitalism has its limits as far as how many persons within the system can be gainfully employed. Meaning, there are only so many high wage paying jobs to go around which will leave many to ponder their fates and futures while living in poverty.

Sure. No system can overcome scarcity.
There isn't a single person on this planet that wont justify his own actions. Noone sees themselves as a bad person.
Desperate people take risks. If the person feels he was cheated by the system which resulted in his desperate situation, his risks will often be of a criminal and/or violent nature. The people we call terrorists are an extreme example of this. Inner city crime is a more common example.
Capitalism, complete with a free-market pricing mechanism is the best way yet discovered to make the most efficient use of those scarce resources. More free-market capitalism = more opportunity = less crime.

I don't think that anyone here is saying that people should not be able to defend themselves from attacks.
Unfortunately Trayvon was unable to effectively defend himself from the well armed violent stalker. Just as Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom were unable to defend themselves.
The story you cited often has the level of torture greatly exaggerated.

That said even without the exaggeration it was a horrific crime.

Sicker than your post that described a horrific torture scenario that has often been vastly over exaggerated, but horrific none the less.
Then trying to exploit that scenario to defend a man with a known violent history who stalked and killed a teenager? A teenager whose last seconds of his life were so terrorized and full of fear that his screams for help were little more than primal calls of distress.

Zimmerman's violent and unstable personality has been well documented.

Zimmerman did "stalk" Trayvon who tried to "walk fast" in order to "lose" the person following him.
leoj707 says
Trayvon was a teenager, and was killed by Zimmerman.
leoj707 says
Listen to the tape, they are the screams of someone who fears they are about to die. The screams are cut short by Zimmerman's bullet. Experts have determined they are not Zimmerman's screams.
Bap33 says
No, it is the facts as we know it today. I am open to the possibility that the trial will shed more light on the matter.
Bap33 says
Here is an actual opinion:
Your post that uses a horrific crime is much sicker than mine, suggesting that people who are stalked and murdered unfortunately did not have the option of a more adequate defense against their attackers. *sickening*
You also use a case that has been exaggerated and falsely used as an example of the "horrible injustice" of a black-on-white hate crime. Even the courts and the families do not view the horrific attacks on Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom as a racially motivate hate crime. *sickening*
You compare Trayvon, who even by your admission is the victim of at least manslaughter, to a horrific group of brutal and sadistic killers. *sickening*
The only thing that Trayvon may have with those people is the color of their skin. The only thing that Zimmerman has in common with Christian and Newsom is that they are not black. I am beginning to think that Clarence 13X is correct in that you have some serious race issues. *disappointing*

the race issue was created by the liberal media to give Lord Barry a much-needed fire-strom on the streets. That has been proved beyond doubt.
"Payback for Trevon" has been used for the blacks attacking whites in the past few weeks. That has been proved beyond doubt.
If Lord Barry had a son it would look like the animals that raped and mutilated the young white kids too.
How you can equate a watchmen on patrol to protect his, and his neighbors life and treasure, that was jumped by a prowler that matched the exact description of the common perps of the area, who defended himself from the prowlers attack and attempt to cause great bodily harm,.... you are actually trying to equte THAT to these murdering animals ... and that is disgusting. I fgure you must be just doing this for sport.
When will the Black Panther that offered a bounty go to prison?
When will Spike Lee go to prison?
Your attempt to defend the murdering filth would be laughable if not for the sad fact that the entire progressive/liberal/leftist movement plans to use their race-baiting tacitics to force AMerica to allow Lord Barry to remain KING,,,,,, "or else!!!"..... after all, it's all "payback for Trevon!!"
lets not forget how those silly white cops acted "stupidly" way back when ....
This entire racebaiting game is disgusting .. but, I must admit, it is effective with the drugged up scum he is hoping will drag their lazy ass to the polls and vote Lord Barry in as KING.
you actually think it matters that bleech was poured down the poor murdered girls throat after she was ganged rapped for days and dead ... instead of as she was dying. The young man was rapped by the huge black men as his girl watched, and then his dick was cut off while she watched ..... then he was shot a little bit .. and THEN he was murdered. That is a demon created by the liberal social policeys in place. And, you really need help if you see these issues on any level of compairison. Have you no compassion for white kids?

Everyone who has read Bap knows. He's a nice guy in many ways. Fairly high EQ (like IQ but for emotions). But man, his race issues (and other prejudice) run strong and very deep.
It's interesting because nobody admits to being racist, except some of the least racist people. And we see it differently. To his type there is no such thing as a hate crime. And if Zimmerman's profiling was paranoid delusional, and very much about race, somehow Bap discounts it. It's as if "hey, Zimmerman was 100% certain Martin was up to no good, based on his appearance, and wanted to take armed action based on that belief. What's wrong with that ? Racism you say ? I say race baiter to any fool that wants to bring race in to this !!"
Bap33 says
All it proves is that for good reason as a society we sometimes react to mistreatment of MINORITIES.
Lynching has been mentioned above. Lynching was usually a hate crime (even if it was occasionally simultaneously vigilante justice). Do you think lynching of black men could have even happened if African Americans were at the time the dominant majority culture ??
I know it's a silly question, but there's something very obvious and simple you are missing.
Hate crime laws by definition protect minorities against bias related violence. If a crime against a member of a majority group happens because they are in the group, who cares if they call it a hate crime or not. The majority group doesn't need the same kind of protection from hate from within the minority, as the other way around.
Maybe one day when a lot of gay men are going on violence sprees targeting straight men, there will be some new types of hate crime legislation.

every slave that was picked up in Africa was sold to traders by Aficans. The slaves were the losers of wars and victims of kidnapping, and either got on the ship or where murdered by their African capters. Your point?

and that is the stupidest thing any civilization could ever dream up ... special laws that are drempt up for a special sect of the group. Who is the insane idiot that can't imagine a crazy sodomite --- like the wiki-leak mole --- taking action against a person or entity based on their sexual orientation??? How much more obvious can a hate crime be??? Blacks attacking a white, and boasting that it was 1) retailiation (vigilaty BIG TIME) and 2) justified because they are the same color as Trevon and the victim was not.

Wtf ?
My point was about hate crime being about crimes against minority individuals, and that's why it seems skewed to you.
What is your point, with the bit about slaves being sold to slave traders by evil African scumbags ? What does that have to do with anything ? I'm not interested in trying to figure out who was the most evil in slave trafficing. Was it the traders who bought and sold slaves to other traders who bought and sold them or the farmers and others who bought them, or the initial (evil) profiteers who couldn't resist the price being paid for their fellow Africans. My guess is that those most likely to be taken in to slaverly were small tribal groups that didn't have advanced weaponry or awareness of the scumbags that they should have been fearing.
Kind of off topic from your confusion about why the name "hate crime" ends up attached to some hate based crimes and not others.

We now know in hindsight based on his well documented innapropriate emotional outbreaks and associated assaults (and what happened with Martin), that he never should have had a gun.
Bap33 says
I would give 3 to one odds on a huge bet that without the gun he would not have stalked Martin and confronted him. Again, it's quite obvious that he was not emotionally and psychologically balanced enough to even have a gun, let alone pretend he's a law enforcement officer imagining that he has some special powers enabling him to magically know what a fellow citizen's intentions are.
(most real cops don't do that - but at least when a real cop stops you to ask you what you're doing - you know its a cop and usually feel somewhat safe, from physical harm - even if their profiling was unfair)
