Justice for Trayvon rally at the Denton County courthouse on the square. Big rally. Maybe 10 people.

Blame it on social media. There are more ways than ever for people to express themselves now than there was during the LA riots. Couple that with just being down right lazy and voila...

[KBScobravert]

You have to wonder what the people that actually hung out with TV are thinking right now. I am talking about the ones that broke into houses/apartments with him, the ones that were getting into random fights with him etc. "Bro, he was a complete douchebag theif like us and even the president is saying we should honor him"

Fucking pathetic. Sorry for his parents but there was zero loss to the greater good of man kind much less society that day.

Kid saw rappers being thugs, and the thug life mentality of black youth. He thought he was being wronged, and was going to live the life of a thug and assault Zimmerman. He bit off more than he could chew and paid the price. Thug life.

Someone said it earlier. "When keeping it real goes wrong."

And instead of rallying behind a leader to speak clearly about an issue you end up with a bunch of Facebook posts that show how fucking ignorant 90% of our population is.

This.

I don't think I've given my opinion on this this thread/trial. But this is how I feel too.

Don't go acting all tough and thug'ish and shit like this won't happen to you if someone else is actually tougher than you are. Yes, I know having a gun doesn't make you tough, but someone with a CHL has a certain level of what to do and what not to.
It's not like Zim pulled out out his gun and shot the guy in cold blood, he had a certain level of responsibility and when he approached the guy he was brutally attacked. Some guys just don't know how to fight or the other guy got the upper hand, he defended himself. Nothing more, nothing less...

Doesn't help the MSM is playing up to it. You have Sharpton already screaming "No justice, no peace!" on the TV. HLN is having an interview with the prosecution where previews indicate they're going to portray GZ doing 1st degree murder.

LiveLeak.com - Al Sharpton screaming No Justice No Peace - This is why everyone is worried about race riots

[Vertnut]

Sharpton and Jackson make their money off of "civil unrest". He's just earning his living.

[BlackSnake]

Maybe I keep turning to the TV at the wrong times, but I havent seen one bit of rally or compassion for Zim. Its all about the poor poor thug and the so called injustice for him. And its 99.9% blacks that are bitching.

Now tell me who's being raciest...

[ELVIS]

Yes, I know having a gun doesn't make you tough, ...

this G27 on my hip makes me tougher than a $2 steak.

god bless.

Exactly.

Zimmerman was doing nothing more than keeping him on view. How else are you going to do it from your vehicle? TV wanted to act gangsta and teach this white boy a lesson. Well, he was doing a good job up until the equalizer.

[mstng86]

people referring to the kid as TV are really messing up my reading in this thread.

The CHL holder's I know are not wild-eyed, gun-waving lunatics looking for a reason to use it. I dread ever having to use my weapon. I will more than likely never have the need. But because I'm so careful and discreet about it, I'm also certain that I would know when I would need to use deadly force. When some asshole (regardless of color) is banging my head into the ground after breaking my nose, it's an appropriate time to blow a smoking hole in him.
