Kobe Bryant Slammed For Refusing to Back Trayvon Martin

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Neither does walking home from the store justifies getting stalked.

Well now, it does if you do this while being black.

I suppose if he thought he was being stalked, he should've called the cops instead of assaulting the guy. He'd still be alive if he did that.

I suppose if he thought he was being stalked, he should've called the cops instead of assaulting the guy. He'd still be alive if he did that.

And maybe if GZ identified himself, or let the cops do their jobs, or maybe, just maybe, let that dude walk home, he'd be still alive too.

Both of them contributed to what happened by their actions. But only one of them had the gun and used it.

[Danno 1,228]

More idiotic African American leaders? Who are they please? There are people who believe an unarmed 17 year old shouldn't have been stalked and shot to death, lots of people. Whatever way you look at this case, the shooter made some incredibly poor decisions that resulted in a death that should never have occurred. This worries lots of people in the US, did then, does now. That there wasn't enough evidence to convict is one thing, that he was justified in doing what he did quite another. Morally, it was and is unjustified. I think even the shooter knows this which is why he is acting out so badly now. He's unstable and getting more likely to suffer a breakdown every day. The point was and is, the assertion that those who supported Trayvon did so because he is black is utterly and entirely unproven and substantially wrong.

Convicted of what charge?

When people are on the ground suffering great bodily harm they have the right to shoot.

From Trayvons own girlfriend (Precious) testimony we heard Travon was not attacked, but most concluded he jumped GZ.

Obamas son screwed up…. he thought he could live up to his F book profile and he lost, it happens.

I'll go along with that.

Lesson: Don't bring a bag of skittles to a gun fight.

I'd rather the lesson was don't let idiots loose with firearms.

We have been over this before.

STALKING has a legal definition, following someone one time for a specific purpose is not stalking.

He followed or persued.

[Danno 1,228]

You might be onto something there but…..

I would still rather have GZ as a neighbor than ™.

Though I reserve my right to modify that if he goes off the deep end.

And what has his intention when he caught up to him? Get back to me on that one...

He's not his son, but I know you can't help it.

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Of course, because he's black. Duh.

If you're going to quote Chris Rock, do it properly. If OJ wasn't rich, he would have been Orenthal the Bus driving murderer.

You mean following someone for 4 minutes, not identifying themselves, and getting out of the car and chasing after them is regular behavior?

Marvin we have plowed this ground 1000 times. GZ did not chase anyone

I will find some more black shooters so I can prove to you I blame the shooter sometime

[Karee 4,191]

Marvin we have plowed this ground 1000 times.

That's an understatement.

[lostinblue 1,989]

Were you watching the same trial that the rest of us watched?

If I were the neighborhood watch and we had a string of robberies….. and I saw someone I "thought" was acting suspicious enough to call the cops, I too might follow him so he couldn't slip away without the cops questioning him.

Obama and this kid had nothing in common except skin color and yet that was all that was needed for Obama to assert their connection…. so yeah, I have fun with it.

Why are you even in this? We all know where you stand, you think Jordan Davis is guilty too.

You'd do it without the assertion, don't lie to yourself.

[Peikko 1,575]

The point about this conversation was not whether he was guilty in the eyes of the law, it was whether it is fair or reasonable to say that there were a large pool of people who were shocked and horrified by the situation simply based on the fact that the young man that died was black. Once again this is entirely unproven. There are many, many people who simply refute that there was a moral justification for the shooting. I do not believe there is. We do not want our policemen to gun people down merely because they suspect them of being involved in a non violent crime yet we allow through very suspect laws civilians to kill each other on a daily basis and this young man died simply because an untrained nobody decided that the person he followed must be guilty of a crime. Two things about this are wrong, one that people are very quick to pull a weapon to solve a problem that should never, ever result in the death of anyone and two there is a moral bankruptcy in the justification of stand your ground and other laws that exclude manslaughter as a criminal solution to these types of deaths. More of the same and the value of human life will continue to plummet. We have already seen how some people wrote the life of this young man off as simply the death of a thug, unimportant, a good thing. That's outrageous.
