GZ to get his gun back

[GandD 5,966]

GhandI: If I was on the jury, I would like to see George Zimmerman on the stand. I want to hear in his words what went down, not these accounts which make no sense.

Ghandi - nice. I've been trying to figure out a name to use instead of GandD (which apparently means a$$ in I forget which language)

Anyway, yes we all would have. So, given the trial that happened, could you have voted not guilty?

But he didn't get on the stand. He wanted to, but didn't. So if the trial had gone exactly the same way as you saw it play out, what would your vote have been?

Sorry, to repeat you. The reply window is like two seconds.

I see why there is a lot of tension between them based on mutual misunderstanding.

Both are guilty, but in this case the "thug" factor was way over inflated because the child was black.

I am colorblind by choice, because I'm not smart enough to know people based on visual evidence.

The thug factor certainly overblown here at VJ. I don't know how much it was alluded to in the actual trial.

The Thug factor was not allowed in court

The thug factor affects everything we do here.

Marvin, I'm not talking about the problems that people bring on themselves. I'm talking about viewing every aspect of life in black or white. I think that's what you're doing.

I mean no disrespect, but you're sounding just like a conspiracy theorist that thinks there's a boogeyman behind everything that happens in the world. It just isn't so.

I know you don't. I know there isn't one, but I know that race is a big factor in a lot of things. Did you get my note?

Yes I did, thank you.

We need more contributing black members. Marvin is serving as ambassador for black people at this point.

I was referring to the media and in the general debate nationally.

It would be like using the "####### factor" for Nicole in the OJ trial.

I find it odd that men didn't see the wimp factor in GZ needing to shoot a 158lb 17 yo. I believe we've reversed common thoughts on what a man should be. Now a man kills his aggressor with a gun, in the old days you'd never see that...well unless the assailant was black.

What happened to being manly?

Still wondering why black people want "extra evidence" included in trials. This will not end well. "So, Mr. Random Blackman, you knew crack was being sold in your neighborhood and the moment you got out of your vehicle you inteded to buy crack. Is that correct?"

Seems to me like black people would be fighting tooth and nail to make sure only actual physical evidence relevent to the case is allowed at trial.

Maybe we should hook Herman Cain up with a Filipina.

Random black man wanting crack...nope not racist yet.

To be honest, with the charges they went after with, I think they overreached. The manslaughter without intent would be what I would have pushed for. If I couldn't convict within the parameters of the law, I would have to say not guilty.

Well from what I have observed here the French are on the same level as the blacks

So count me as a token black.

Is there a problem with my ambassador skills? You know you can only have one black person in here at a time, anything more than that, the cops get called.

The French are below the blacks here.

Awesome!

I hear Harsh is trying to recruit Stevie Wonder as an AA board member. The typing might be a bytch, but it's probably no worse then what Harsh puts out on a daily basis.
