Where the line crossed from a stereotype sent towards a black kid in a hoodie at 7PM to a racially motivated crime lies in the details of how this kid ended up dead.
    Whether or not he was stereotyping/racist is all speculation and will be up to the prosecution to prove, provided they choose to go that route.

    Yes, although I'm not sure how that's news, considering that people like him always attempt to stay relevant.

    I just read an article about how the media has completely mishandled both sides of story. So much misinformation, selective editing, and overall sensationalism.

    An article the Tampa Bay Times did on the Stand Your Ground law that I thought was interesting. It talks about a couple other cases where SYG was used.

    Did you see the video? they literally broke the image and redigitized it so in a way yeah they kinda did photoshop it.


    You realize you don't have to stick up for him cause his father identifies him with Hispanics right?

    Are you saying that he isn't hispanic?

    I'm just saying, one drop rule. It isn't like his dad is lying.

    White people only like Hispanics for our food, labor, and big ass women. Hispanics and blacks equally hate whites and each other.

    Yeah but saying he's Hispanic doesn't mean shit when it comes to downplaying racism. I mean, granted, I know a lot of people think that only white people can be racist, but that certainly isn't the case. If they're trying to pull the "He's Hispanic, how can he be racist?" card then they're fucking retarded.

    Watching that video made me lol. ABC was given exclusive, high-resolution footage and no one else was? Yea, that doesn't reek of bullshit to me.

    This is especially true when you consider that he claimed to have a broken nose but his shirt isn't stained with any blood, nor is his jacket. SOP for the medical staff is to address the wound, not clean his clothes for him. This was what, 30 minutes after he shot Martin? Obviously this is just more attempts on behalf of the media to continue to cast doubt until the charges are dropped or the American Sheep move on to the next big story.

    I agree but his father actually said something to that effect in the very beginning. It was something like "this has nothing to do with racism, George is from a hispanic background and has many black friends" etc

    Nah Leroy, I know the one drop rule well because it applies to me too. My mom's mixed and my dad is straight off the boat hispanic. I get that part. I'm saying it is naive to imply that people don't try to use that shit to their advantage sometimes. His dad's not lying, but see above. He's using it as a shield.

    I haven't been paying much attention to this story, and it may have been brought up before, but is it possible he changed shirts because police confiscated his for evidence?
