Well the VA tech shooting happened in april 2007. I didn't join this site until October 2007 and didn't wander into the off topic section until spring 2008.

I don't hear much about Trayvon anymore on here. I don't see how anyone could compare him to Lanza or Holmes.

He wasn't compared. His character and history were attacked more than theirs, though, which is insanity. Nobody went digging into a mass murderer's history to prove what a sh*tty person they were. But Trayvon was a no good thug and Zimmerman was "taking out the trash", as some here said.

They were good people. Just misunderstood in ways we can't comprehend. But Trayvon was a bad seed who had a future of robbing and murder already laid out for him, so he was destined to meet a bad end.

I remember Holmes and Lanza's backgrounds getting explored. Holmes just didn't have much of a background with the exception of dropping out of school and a few discussions with a campus physician.

Travyon and Zimmerman had to have their backgrounds explored because the lines of victim/assailant were blurred.

I believe in the Lanza case, more was made of the Mother and why she allowed her son with mental problems to have access to firearms and took him to the range to shoot. As for Adam Lanza's background, it was checked, but there really wasn't much there.

TM's background was similar to some of the members we had posting here. Yet he was an animal that needed to be put down. GZ has a criminal record and has continued to have run ins with the law, yet he is defended and the women are branded liars.

Holmes and Lanza are never referred to as the lowest common denominator of society, even though they were cold blooded murderers. TM was called all that and more, yet he didn't kill anyone.

Well anyone calling anyone an animal speaks more to them doesn't it? If I see someone calling someone an animal I immediately write off their opinion. It discredits them.

Here's the reason why TMs history and character were brought into question. He was portrayed as some innocent child who was minding his own business skipping home with his bag of Skittles and Iced Tea when a maniac with a gun shot him dead for no reason. I don't think there were many that portrayed Lanza or the nut in Aurora as some innocent victim.

That's the difference.

not to you it wasn't. i'm still waiting on marvin to respond.

You're wasting your time. As MBD likes to say, its like trying to play chess with pigeons.

by who?

The population by large.

Find me shooting targets of one of those mass murderers: http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/05/14/man-sells-out-of-trayvon-martin-gun-range-targets/

Find me the politician or cop who loses their job because they went off about Lanza or Holmes: http://www.trunews.com/florida-police-officer-fired-after-calling-trayvon-martin-a-thug-on-facebook/

Find me the video game that depicts Lanza or Holmes as heartless killers on a rampage: http://betabeat.com/2013/07/shockingly-offensive-trayvon-martin-angry-trayvon-game-pulled-from-app-stores-following-backlash/ (TBF, one was started about Lanza, but it was pulled, out of respect for people with mental problems)

Even the Boston Bomber, the one who died, got a better eulogy than Mike Brown. Hell, there was a comparison. White serial killers aren't called no angels. They're just normal men and women who just so happen to have murdered a few folks.

Here's the reason way TMs history and character were brought into question. He was portrayed as some innocent child who was minding his own business skipping home with his bag of Skittles and Iced Tea when a maniac with a gun shot him dead for no reason. I don't think there were many that portrayed Lanza or the nut in Aurora as some innocent victim.

You must have me confused with someone else. I'll either beat your move or concede that I lost. I'm nice that way. :dancing:
