WHY IS EVERYONE CONTACTING ME TO KNOW MY THOUGHTS ON THE ZIMMERMAN TRIAL

FUCK

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Not happy...but not nearly as mad as those above me

[brawndolicious]

Joe Scarborough is a piece of shit, as always. This idiot is going to pretend to be above the fray?

Also, this quote is fucking gold:

I am also not sure how it is that the right-wing’s professional chattering classes usually find themselves on the other side of African-Americans in racially sensitive cases.

That's just such a wtf thing to say.

I'm not discussing this irl, well outside of giving brief thoughts about it to my dad earlier today. Just gonna say "it was disappointing but expected" and move on. Nothing can be done.

FUCK

Why aren't you out rioting?

[Phoenix Dark]

Peaceful vigils, peaceful marches, peaceful demonstrations...as expected.

[Himu]

Peaceful vigils, peaceful marches, peaceful demonstrations...as expected.

but distinguished black fellows are mindless why are they not rioting? I thought they were violent monkeys.

I am also not sure how it is that the right-wing’s professional chattering classes usually find themselves on the other side of African-Americans in racially sensitive cases.

Hoho, I couldn't imagine!

[Human Snorenado]

A black friend had this to say in the course of a conversation at another forum I post on today, and it's really just fucking heartbreaking.

I had a long talk with my 15 year old nephew today and it was fucking awful.
its really painful to hear a young man come to realize that no matter how good his deeds and no matter how good his grades, his color will always be an impediment. what the fuck do you say to that?
after something like this how do you honestly tell these young black teenagers their livelihoods, their futures, their ability to just be happy being who they are isn't truncated?

[Himu]

Eh. They'll live like the rest of us. It is pretty much but in life form. Thankfully my parents taught me this at a young age.

Due to the pussification of the African American.

thats a really odd way to describe himu's transition into womanhood.

[drew]

I demand you guys fit the stereotypes I have for you, fucking pussies!

pussies?  have you seen the long federal dick our police has these days? they have tools at their not so discretionary disposal that will assault every one of your senses. it's just not fair.  these days if you're gonna step up you better come with the clapping or not step up at all.  i'd say they're being more rational, than anything.

[Positive Touch]

well despite the best efforts of stl's white anarchist crew, the march today was great. some really great speakers and lots of good energy; we shut down the busiest area of the city and had everyone in their cars and on the sidewalk cheering along. felt like a positive release after all the shittyness of last night and this morning.

[Joe Molotov]

It's been one full day since the verdict, time to get on the dead-black-kid gravy train!

You can stand your ground if you’re white, and you can use a gun to do it. But if you stand your ground with your fists and you’re black, you’re dead.

In the state of Florida, the season on African-Americans now runs year round. Come one, come all.  And bring a handgun. The legislators are fine with this blood on their hands. The governor, too. One man accosted another and when it became a fist fight, one man — and one man only — had a firearm. The rest is racial rationalization and dishonorable commentary.

If I were a person of color in Florida, I would pick up a brick and start walking toward that courthouse in Sanford. Those that do not, those that hold the pain and betrayal inside and somehow manage to resist violence — these citizens are testament to a stoic tolerance that is more than the rest of us deserve.  I confess, their patience and patriotism is well beyond my own.

Behold, the lewd, pornographic embrace of two great American pathologies:  Race and guns, both of which have conspired not only to take the life of a teenager, but to make that killing entirely permissible.  I can’t look an African-American parent in the eye for thinking about what they must tell their sons about what can happen to them on the streets of their country.  Tonight, anyone who truly understands what justice is and what it requires of a society is ashamed to call himself an American.

the agent behind the book also has one regarding jodi arias and was responsible for oj's "if i did it"

[Great Rumbler]

Jurors being able to profit off their jury duty like that make me feel a little bit nauseous.

What's ironic is half you guys are as bad as the one's on the other side you're insulting with faux intellect.

Outside of PD and Penis I am tired of seeing people whom have fucking 0 idea of what it takes to be a black man/woman take up our side to crutch their conscious.

This verdict is not what I expected nor what I feel was deserved but I'll be damned if I spami ignorant comments (like light one car on fire if ok....) about it. I hope that he hears from Civil Rights and has to answer for chasing down an unarmed man. That is all.


ok lol on the him to penis shit...

Someone's called Penis?

I think Demi wanted to give us all something to remember him by??

Not today. I'm tired of hearing how offended people are and how they want to burn shit or see riots. This helps nobody.

[Joe Molotov]

Haha, I forgot that was still filtered from when Lan made that "I love Himuro" thread.

[Great Rumbler]

Apparently there's an interview going on with one [some?] of the jurors. I'm not watching it, just seeing excerpts posted though Twitter:

Kelly Price ‏@KellyPrice4Real 4m
A child died. Zimmerman went too far but he learned his lesson. He's gonna be the most responsible person with a gun now. JurorB37
I CAN'T.

Crystal McCrary ‏@CrystalMcCrary 4m
Juror B-37 said the only thing she thought GZ was "overeager" about was being "helpful" to other people. They just don't get it.

Kelly Price ‏@KellyPrice4Real 8m
Juror B37 paused. And then said if he didn't go to far. She thinks he went too far but she thinks he learned his lesson....

Jon Passantino ‏@passantino 12m
Zimmerman juror: "I think all of us [jurors] thought race did not play a role" in death of Trayvon Martin

Marc Caputo ‏@MarcACaputo 16m
Zimmerman juror to @andersoncooper "I think the roles changed. I think he got in too deep" and Trayvon jumped out, swung first

Shaun R. Harper ‏@DrShaunHarper 14m
#ZimmermanJuror B37 said "a lot of the time #RachelJeantel was using phrases I've never heard before." This cultural bias is staggering.

So basically this thread is full of white people acting fake-outraged, appropriating your culture, and advocating violence.

Right.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Some day I'm going to learn how to read twitter. Is the summary that she thinks zimmerman was guilty but he learned his lesson so it's all good? Because if so mistrial this shit right now.

No, a couple here did a hell of a job. But I appreciate your well rounded retort that leads to nowhere...because those really sting.

B37 said when they first went into deliberation that they were 3 for acquittal, 2 for manslaughter, 1 for murder.

Wow, 3 for aquittal? I figured one was for acquittal 5 for manslaughter or something close. Well I didn't see this coming...smh

[Positive Touch]

juror b37 also said she refuses to read newspapers (lines her birdcage with them instead) and that she only heard of the case thru the fucking today show. she also referred to trayvon as "a boy of color" and thought people rioted after the murder

[Mandark]

Anon, where are my retorts meant to lead?  Hell, what am I meant to be retorting to?

If you bothered to respond to a poster by name, or address the actual content of their posts, then we'd at least be in the vicinity of a discussion.  But instead you're just making a lot of vague, angry noise and telling people to shut up.

Look, if aspects of the public response to this rustled your jimmies so much that you needed to blow off steam, have at it.  But you can't do that and then turn around and complain that the responses you're getting aren't serious.  You either invest some good faith, patience, and respect into the conversation, or you don't much back.  Simple.

Sounds like white trash. Or is that a typical Floridian?

please explain your position more i am confused

explain how they're just as bad.

[Phoenix Dark]

Not even going to watch that interview. Wow. I guess what should you expect. Smart people get out of jury duty and only the most backwater people could live in Florida and not know about the case.

[Joe Molotov]

Yeah, she sounded racist as fuck tbh. She said that Rachel Jeantel wasn't credible because of her education level and the only thing she believed about her testimony was that Trayvon called Zimmerman a creepy-ass cracka, because "this is just the kind of life they're living and the environment they're in". 

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Most jurors are going to be people too dumb or spergy to get out of jury duty

[Himu]

Anom, the light car on fire post was a joke.

[Positive Touch]

its just pathetic that someone like that didnt get screened out by the prosecutors

[Himu]

Most jurors are going to be people too dumb or spergy to get out of jury duty

last time in jury duty, girl said she thought if she didn't say anything they wouldn't pick her. I told her, that's why they would pick her, because she hasn't expressed any "biases". I went in and expressed that yes, I have gotten in a car accident and yes, I will judge this man guilty because I hate mexicans to get out. I got out, she got picked.
