It's okay, the teens were a roving group of Neighborhood Watch members, patrolling to keep that area safe.

One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Talked to my parents who live in south Florida this weekend. My father is fairly convinced that if the government doesn't sacrifice Zimmerman by either killing him or finding some way to prosecute him that there are going to be severe race riots, worse than Rodney King.

Why didn't the police try to cover this up? Was it because the suspects were black?

Yet another step forward in race relations. How dare the white tourist walk around wearing a watch when Travyon is dead?



And, yes, one person has been charged - and is pleading not guilty because his lawyer says he is a 'good kid'.

Dude was clearly shitfaced out of his mind and could barely stand without the help of those mailboxes. What a bunch of fucking animals.

Why hasn't Obama addressed this hate crime in a public statement?

If Obama's Chief of Staff had a son, he would look like the guy in the video.

Tragic.

One of two white Oklahoma men charged with murder and hate crimes over accusations of shooting dead three black people and wounding two said in an interview from jail on Saturday that he felt no hatred or ill-will toward African-Americans.

Haters gonna hate.

What really cooked off the whole Trayvon uproar was that the police didn't arrest the guy, i.e., it looked like the system was covering it up, ergo, the system was part of the problem. In this case, it looks like the system is trying to work.
Don’t believe everything you think.

I also live in South Florida and fear the worst. The looters have already made their shopping lists in anticipation.

Unfortunately, Zimmerman didn't have a friend standing around to video his third-rate Batman impression.

But he was arrested the night of the shooting. (Being handcuffed and taken to the station in the back of a cop car constitutes an arrest regardless of what cops try to call it.) They just didn't charge him.
