Violence is legitimized by authority, or the perception of authority. In much the same vein, it would be illegal for me to construct drone weapons and use them to blow up buildings containing individuals who I deemed to be threats to national security. The President, by contrast, is rewarded with Nobel prizes for doing this exact same thing. Because we collectively agree that the President has authority, he is free to arbitrarily order assassinations. |

Police: Body recovered is missing Family Dollar employee - Fox 2 News Headlines
Were the victims black? No? Okay, no major media news coverage. Oh but Detroit filing for chapter 9 is making all the headlines. Serious all the major news channels could devote ALL their time to this city, and couldn't cover all the bullshit. Edit* I've been in this thread since the beginning, but i like to just read and take in all the information from all the sides. I tell you, i get more useful facts that i would otherwise never see had i not been in this thread. Talk about the American persons being robbed. |
You know, this is a rather small issue in the context of the case, but I have to say I'm tired of people describing the physical altercation as a "fistfight."
I would encourage anyone who feels tempted to describe it as a fistfight to have someone several inches taller and quite a bit stronger than they are to mount them MMA-style and drop a few punches from up top before grabbing their head and smacking it into a hard cement surface, and see if they would still describe that experience as a "fistfight." |

Justice Department places 'hold' on Trayvon Martin trial evidence, including George Zimmerman's gun - which Florida law says must be returned to him | Mail Online
Sanford police confirmed on Thursday that the DOJ asked the agency not to return any pieces of evidence to their owners. Zimmerman was expected to get his firearm back by month's end. The development is a sign that the criminal section of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is seriously investigating Zimmerman to determine if federal civil rights charges should be filed. |

"Jeantel’s testimony set off a stupid debate, requiring total ignorance of slavery and legal segregation, about the equivalence of blacks using “cracker” to describe whites, versus whites using the word “nigger” to describe blacks." Sorry, but that doesn't cut it. No person alive has ever been a slave in the US. No one alive has ever been a slave owner. Drop it already. You want equity, you have to give it. Cracker=------, plain and simple. You can't be racist and expect everyone else to be colorblind. |
I'm sorry Chris, but I have no white-guilt. Unlike you, I sleep VERY well at night.

“We never endorsed that jury,” and, “If they had listened to the evidence and if they had followed the law, then George Zimmerman would have been convicted of murder,” were among the inflammatory statements Rand made about the jury.
Van Susteren then walked Rand through the purpose and responsibility of a jury in the U.S. criminal justice system. Rand responded by saying, “I have a greater duty beyond being an attorney and that’s to be a social engineer.” |

"Mark Levin: If Zimmerman Is Harmed, I Blame Holder, Sharpton And Obama" Obama and Holder, along with Sharpton and Jackson have done more to set back race relations in this country than any others in my lifetime. I am old and was never a racist, but........:sad2: |
