Black Man Kills White Teen - Jury Lets Him Walk

[JohnR! 5,495]

So the victim was in the process of committing a crime against the shooter's personal property. His car.

And he only pulled out his gun to make them wait for the cops. One chose not to, and charged at the shooter, so he fired.

Why yes, this situation sounds EXACTLY the same. Easy comparable.

Meawhile, everyone is missing the point... How about green men killing white men?!?!!? When will people address this really serious problem!?

Where's the indignation!!!

Well, there goes actual conversation.

Aw, they blew him right in half.

So based on your post, it sounds like not guilty was the correct verdict.

Based on what they had, I would say so. But I wouldn't say he was innocent, just like Casey Anthony and OJ.

I don't believe GZ was out looking for a confrontation.

I don't either...but anyone he met up with had the potential to beat him...hence be shot.

I think that guy on the left is going to need more than two bandaids...just saying.

TM walked up behind him, asked him did he have a problem and then hit him.

So...... Where are all the issues coming from?

I presented a few variables Slim, why am I not suprised you only focused on this one.

True. I failed to comprehend the importance and relevance of the thread...

Should juries convict on variables?

How do you present something as fact when your story keeps changing?

Physical evidence alone had this case won before it was taken to trial.

Cuts and bruises show there had been an altercation, there was no lie about that. But if you only care about that and think how it started is irrevelant what's the point.

and now we have the 1000th version of the same argument.

Sorry Marvin not directed at you, you are just the lucky 1000th shopper.

P.S. your new Avitar rocks.

The point is every black person in the country is held to the same standards as GZ. When they go to trial, the state can't bring up things irrelevant to the crime. Are you suggesting we should change that so next time a black man goes to trial he's not protected by our laws but instead is allowed to be convicted by public opinion?

This case was over before it started. That's why GZ wasn't initially arrested. Next time the cops find no evidence of a crime do you want the community and the media to dictate what the "new rules" are?

There was a time in our history when "mob justice" didn't work out so well for black people. Are you really sure you want to advocate going back to it?

The TM and GZ debate has jumped the shark.
