Unarmed black 17 year old shot by Neighborhood watch captain in gated community...

The pic was still funny - offensive things are often used as jokes and people laugh at them all the time.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

You think Deen's pic was chosen for a reason other than her racism problem?

No. Obviously that was the joke. I have no reason to think the jurors are in fact racist, and as far as I can tell they did an excellent job. I don't have a problem with your not finding it funny, but I kind of do have a problem with your being so offended by it - it's a joke for cryin' out loud.

I wonder if DVC realized that was why she was chosen out of the sea of white people?

ETA: I see he did. I don't believe people would think it was as funny if we found a similar situation with the opposite racial makeup and made a blackface jury.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I wonder if DVC realized that was why she was chosen out of the sea of white people?

Of course I did. I find it absolutely insane that you would suppose I did not. I am mystified why you guys are being so sanctimonious about this joke.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

Wonderful...attacking the jury and calling them racist.

One of the lowest things I have seen regarding the case.

This has been the MO since day one with this case......



Outright hate and racism from the thug supporters? A-OK ! We're just standing up for TRAYVON, that justifies the racism!


Nothing more than acknowledging the facts from a perceived medium beige or lighter person? RACIST! RACISSSTTT!!!!!

A "blackface" jury would not be the same joke, and yes it would be offensive. I don't think a jury consisting of all Al Sharptons or Spike Lees, though, would be offensive.

I think the jury reached the right verdict, but I thought this was funny.

I mostly agree, I laughed of course but it's also sad since so many really will see the jury that way...

 

[TheFamilyMan]

I missed quite a few of the "talking head' shows this weekend after the verdict. Has there been any reporter, interviewer, or commentary that is holding the Martin family/Crump/NAACP/et al to task for *MAKING* this a racial issue? Has anyone mustered up the balls to point out the fact that this "angel" (as the Martin family has made him out to be) was too much for the mother to deal with so she sends him to live with his father...who we now have some evidence, albeit cloudy at the moment, is tied to a less-than-choirboy lifestyle? What about the fact that Trayvon was walking through people's yards vs. just walking on the sidewalk like a normal person? What about the fact that Zimmerman couldn't tell if Trayvon was white, black, yellow, green, or red that night? If anyone with half a brain listens to the tapes...Zimmerman never indicated race...just called them punks and said they always get away. I guess the many years of Zimmerman's inate racial hatred of blacks gave him the superpower to see through clothing and determine if someone has the genetic background of a black person.

Now the Martin family will get rich from all this. Fruity and the Beast will demand speaking $$$ where they will get up there and cry and cry about their little "child" and their "baby" and tell the world how their days are darker now that he's gone. They'll lament about how the big, bad racist took their angel away from them without ever once admitting the fact they had lost control of their "child" to the streets. They'll never admit the fact their son put forth in motion the direction his life would take him...jail, fry cook at McDonalds, or dead.

I think this calls for a social experiment. Because I think you're wrong.

That's the real humour in this... That the sheeple following this case and showing that racist picture are the actual racists.




In other words, the funny is in the irony of the racists posting the 'racist jury' picture.

 

[Sea Ray]

Hard to believe the butthurt crew can be so misinformed at this point. Can't wait for the additional butthurt when the Fed concludes they have no evidence for civil rights case against GZ either.

You're assuming Eric Holder is not one of the misinformed butthurt crew and that's quite a leap...

 

[Doppel]

That jury picture is somewhat funny. It doesn't have to speak a truth for something to be funny. I can think the jury acted fine but still find it funny because I know others do not see them that way.'so the person chose the stereotypical white Floridian and made a half dozen more.

In that I think you're wrong, there's a ton of people out there that think exactly that...

 

[spacejamz]

Lol! You realize the whole argument the defense used was that zimmerman could have been injured more than what can be seen and yet you deny that same info to Martin, who is dead which makes evidence of physical abuse that much tougher to spot (you don't bruise when you are dead).

But yes, continue with your nonsense or hypocrisy.

When will this idiocy stop??? It is hilarious that posters like this think they have more insight into this case than the state's prosecution team who has gathered and reviewed ALL of the available evidence since Feb of last year to prove GZ's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt...

From a cultural perspective these people rioting don't think sabrynnana did any thing at all wrong. They're able to fully relate to what she's doing.



To them, not raising your child or keeping an eye on them is "normal". They don't view her booting him out the moment they couldn't claim him as a $dependent$ abnormal because from a cultural perspective that's what they do.


This group of people look at something like a medium beige guy having to shoot their thug kid as a lottery ticket.




I still wish there was some charge for sabryninana inciting a race war.

 

[Abwx]

Statisticaly a 6 women jury has 1 chance over 64 to occur ,
1.5625% chance, if ever they are randomly selected over
the eligible population , actualy , a jury composed uniquely
of blacks and hispanos is equaly probable at 1/64 of a chance.

I must have missed something about the rules to select a jury
in this good ole fascist florida..

 

[LTC8K6]

A blackface parody jury picture would only make sense if the races in the case were reversed...

And people would be screaming about the pic, imo.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I don't see this as a right-or-wrong thing - I am just saying I would not be offended by that.

Seminole County was 11% AA at the last census.

The thug supporters have done more work on goalpost moving than any actual reasonable arguments.


For the first 6 months they screamed and cried about the "lack of evidence", they refused to acknowledge the officially "leaked" reports including school reports on his behaviour and stolen real gold and diamond jewelry.

Then they refused to acknowledge his reputation at his school as a little street fighter who was looking for confrontations.

Then they refused to acknowledge his datestamped social media postings.

Then they refused the cellphone dump.


This entire time they kept claiming that "we have to wait for the jury" "we have to wait for the evidence from the court"




And now even THAT has proven that this kid was nothing more than a piece of trash thug who VICIOUSLY attacked an innocent man with NO provocation.


And that is still not enough to satiate these racists....



I still maintain that these people will not settle until they have spilt medium beige-ish man's blood in the name of that trash thug.

I get that your intentionally misspelling Ms. Fulton's name is your idea of humor, but to me it's just a constant reminder of the precise kind of witlessness I'm dealing with. I still don't understand what's up with the random spacing of your paragraphs - is that meant to impart gravitas to your posts or something?

Oh, and when does the "race war" start, so I can factor it into my summer vacation plans? You and spidey seem anxious to see that happen for whatever reason.

 

[highland145]

WTH am I going to do now? Enjoyed watching the trial process.

I particularly like his new "thug supporter" slur. We all know what he really wants to say.

So in other words you have no clue how a jury is selected in OUR country

The pool of potential jurors is randomly selected, they are then questioned by the defense and prosecution who have to essentially agree on which ones they want, the actual jury isn't "randomly" selected idiot

 

[Ichinisan]

Lol. You are arguing against a straw man. Reading comprehension definitely isn't your thing.

Reality comprehension definitely isn't your thing.
