If I hear about this Florida shooting again I might strangle a duck

Shucky Ducky!

And Broc, I think the reason for all the outrage is that people are upset an arrest hasn't been made.

He doesn't understand, he feels that we should shrug it all off.. I dont blame Broc for his opinions, you know some people dont understand these things, they were raised different, their values are different.. But the reason why I am so passionate about this is not only the fact there was no arrest, but the fact that people want to justify a grown man killing a 17 year old kid, they would do anything to make this less of what it really is.. Racial profiling is real, and just because someone wears a hood, or sags the pants, or talks in the slangs of the street, it doesnt give ANYONE the right to take matters into their own hand.. Its also fucking crazy that people think a laptop is worth someone's life, and the fact that people would want to demonize a dead kid.. Only monsters do shit like that..

There are a few 911 calls from the time of the incident where you can hear Trayvon screaming HELP, and there are are witnesses that heard everything and were on the phone with the police, but the police are not investigating it. All that Florida law enforcement has to do is arrest him and let a jury decide if he is guilty or not. Police have more than enough evidence for an arrest.

We also cant forget how Florida handled the voting with Bush and Gore... SMH.. That is one corrupted state, I feel bad for the people that live there, especially the ones in poverty, where their only chance (without being ostracized by the community) is sports, and music..

The biggest thing I see (as a white kid myself) is that Zimmerman, no matter the color of his or Trayvon's skin, should've been aressted by now.

It's ran by Jeb Bush. George Bush's little brother. Jeb Bush is also the one that signed the "Stand Your Ground Law" that is being used as an excuse not to arrest Zimmerman.

[Broc]

I understand that Zimmerman in all likelihood was wrong, and should have been arrested, but am I the only one who is tired of hearing about this when it happened in Florida?

Everything is a national story now, buddy.

Everything is a national story now, buddy.

That's completely untrue.

2 years ago when an autistic child attempted to stab an officer at my school, and ended up being shot and killed. That wasn't a story.
A few weeks ago a man walks into a gas station for his morning coffee, the place is being robbed and he gets shot.

Nether of those were big anywhere, but yet this Treyvon kid is having rallies and such in his name. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Why is everyone so quick on pulling out the race card?

[Iron Ape]

You know, I'd take the ongoing discussion of a critically important issue with both national and societal implications over an accidental acknowledgment of ignorance from which absolutely no value can be extracted, ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

Okay, everything might've been too strong a word.

Point is, when the media gets ahold of a story like this, a story that has even made it's way onto a pro wrestling forum, they'll run with it.
