tl;dr

Will bet money 95% of people that think he just shot black kid for being black think he's a white guy. Hell i didn't even realize he was a hispanic tell i decided to stop and read some facts.

Also love how MLK Jr. own relatives are saying Jackson and Sharpton are ------- it up for black people, making them look bad and need to stfu.

Therefore, he wants to "get rid of" (code for drag behind a pickup truck) "some Floridians" (code for non-whites).


I have a call in to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to address this hate speech.

Meanwhile in real news:

"For years, American manufacturers have faced one of the highest tax rates in the world. We want to reduce that by over 20%. We want to drop the rate, particularly, for high-tech manufacturers like you, Mr. President, even further than the 20%," Vice President Joe Biden said at a manufacturing plant in Davenport, Iowa this week.

"We want to create a global minimum tax, because American taxpayers shouldn't be providing a larger subsidy for investing abroad than investing at home," Biden said at a campaign event.

Props to you, Scrappy.

Asfor my 2c on this:

Both sides want to get outraged. As an example, you see conservatives dredging up that Trayvon got suspended from school for having a bag with traces of Marijuana years ago - wtf does that have to do with being shot?

Counter-example: BLAAAACCK OUUTTRAAAGE, RACIIISSSMMM! from the other side.

Dude who shot Trayvon needs to have something more than just the token investigation because his story doesn't match up with the physical evidence nor witness testimony. People are getting their panties in a bunch because they want to get their panties in a bunch over something though - and this goes for both sides.

Impartial sources disagree with you, Brainy.

I'm not really up for arguing on this though Brainy. It's full of stupid. People who want to get outraged on both sides are just getting outraged over it when this sort of ---- happens all the time.

I understand what he meant, but I initially interpreted "global" to mean, well "global." As in "applied globally", where "global", as defined by Webster, means "of, relating to, or involving the entire world."

Meaning Biden wants to tax the entire world. And actually, I'm cool with that.

This is, amusingly, exactly what the author of "Nuke the Moon: A Realistic Plan for World Peace" proposed in order to fund a massive increase in US military expenditure. Specifically, an "other country tax," described as a tax for being a country other than the U.S.

I think for the first time ever, I agree with you on this part quoted above.

Now back to killing Santorum for wanting to kill my ****....

I did hear the other day that for the third time ever in their history the New York Post referred to the shooter by using the phrase "white-Hispanic" WTF?

Had he just won the Nobel peace price I'm going to go out on a limb but they would refer to him as a Hispanic, no mention of the "white" part.

Maybe I am missing something or misunderstanding Zimmerman's side of the story, but I don't see anything in that link that shows an impartial source disagreeing with Zimmerman's version.

Video documenting no head injuries on Zimmerman?

Funeral home staff stating Martin had no injuries from any kind of scuffle?

I have nothing to say about this "story". Just one of those stories the media jumped on, and everyone followed them on the bandwagon. I bet you could find similar stories happening several times a day in this country.

So let me get this straight.
As a private citizen I can follow you on a public street.(even when instructed by LE not to) because you look like you are "up to no good".
Initiate a confrontation that leads to a scuffle and then kill you because I felt threatened? Riiight the kid was a UFC fighter you say? That effectively means I can start a fight with you then shoot you because I felt threatened.
I'm not interested in the racial element of this story but you better believe if you shot my son in my neighbors front yard and all he was carrying was a bag of skittles, you would not be seeing too many more sunrises.

Sharpton, Jesse Jackson et all are annoying but the gun rights nuts who are defending this guy just because he used a gun are just as annoying
