I don't know anything about Florida law but here you can't shoot someone just because you're getting your a$$ whipped. There has to be fear for your life involved and I don't think a whipping goes that far. I don't see any reason for rioting from "their" side but I don't see how a fistfight turns into a need to shoot someone...hooknline":3hn8jic1 said:His dad is white his mom is Peruvian

And honestly, if I were walking through a black neighborhood and some guy jabbering on his phone was following me and watching everything I did, I'd probably figure I was in deep $hit and take it on the offensive to try to save myself as well. The differance would be that I am ARMED and this kid wasn't.
I'm not saying I support the kid that was shot but I can see both sides.
Pictures of either party don't help at all... That just shows people in their common environment. For example: I wear either waders and coveralls or boots and a cowboy hat fourteen hours a day... Any picture you take with myself and the people I associate with would look like the stereotypical redneck that hates people with dark skin and gays but I've been quite up-front about not having any problem with either. Stereotyping is a great timesaver but it can be a severely flawed method of saving time.
That was one that got floated around here, did not know if it was right or not. We will probably never know the truth. The rallys would really cause a problem if it was reversed.hooknline":2m42btmt said:That's not the dead treyvon on the right. Thats another picture of another different treyvon from MySpace.
I'll post a pic of the real one in a second.

They wanted to create racial tensions by allowing all to assume it had to be a white guy that shot him. Why do they keep using the kid photo? Why didn't they share all the facts? His school record and suspensions, him throwing gang signs on Facebook, and that he did start the physical fight. They both are to blame, and its not for the media to choose the "good" guy. We only know what they tell us and can't make rational decisions based on that. Our news channels make me sick. A united country isn't news worthy. They need to stir the pot to create sensationalism.
I'm beginning to trust TMZ more that our national news.
