I'm glad that Martin's family wasn't in the courtroom for the verdict. Seeing the atmosphere lately I wouldn't be surprised if someone made an image macro out of their anguished faces.

What happened in that case has no bearing in anything that happens in this case. None of us will truly ever be able to know what could have happened differently if a variable was changed.
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;41448987]Hey, don't you think that the fact that [I]a bunch[/I] of people are in here being racist as shit maybe casts a shadow over the claim that this case had nothing to do with race? Maybe just a little bit? If racists can suddenly come out of the woodwork anytime, any place, to post it all up then maybe the claim that racism is nowhere to be seen should be considered a little dubious?[/QUOTE] I don't think the case itself had much to do with race but the explicit racism in some of these threads is a bit much.
[QUOTE=Nestophales;41448980]If if if and the race card. Bravo![/QUOTE] This is one of the ways racists stifle debate. You're not allowed to talk about race because that means that you're playing the "race card." Yo, the numerous dudes who have straight said "look out black people are going to riot" are the ones who fucking played the race card here.

How come sensationalist media is allowed to exist? News media should be unbiased

[QUOTE=Radical Rebel;41448981][IMG]http://images.4chan.org/b/src/1373769730997.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] I think it's safe to assume Zimmerman won't be at that address tonight or for the foreseeable future. I wouldn't be surprised if some damage is done to the house though.
you can say zimmerman got justice today or w/e, but it is a lot less likely zimmerman would have "gotten justice" if he had been black.
[QUOTE=Radical Rebel;41448981][IMG]http://images.4chan.org/b/src/1373769730997.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] honestly, shit like this is disgusting
[QUOTE=Rent-a-BoxHouse;41449021]How come sensationalist media is allowed to exist? News media should be unbiased[/QUOTE] because sensationalist media is what attracts the eyes and ears of the masses. TV is a sit and absorb format, no room for thinking.
[QUOTE=kenji;41448975]Go to /pol/ right now. it's a goldmine.[/QUOTE] The sticky can't stop rolling on and on.

[QUOTE=Rent-a-BoxHouse;41449021]How come sensationalist media is allowed to exist? News media should be unbiased[/QUOTE] Free Speech
[QUOTE=yawmwen;41449038]you can say zimmerman got justice today or w/e, but it is a lot less likely zimmerman would have "gotten justice" if he had been black.[/QUOTE] Possibly, but if we're going down that road there's a good chance we wouldn't have even heard of this trial if Zimmerman had been black. Once certain aspects of the media and community turned this into an issue about race, that's when everyone became aware of it.
If anyone watched the case from the beginning, the verdict is no surprise
[QUOTE=yawmwen;41449038]you can say zimmerman got justice today or w/e, but it is a lot less likely zimmerman would have "gotten justice" if he had been black.[/QUOTE] I'm not really sure where you're both getting at, this is the same logic bigots use regarding misogyny, "Well if he was a WOMAN none of this would've happened!!!"

Why? Because people like you turn it into a massive attack on them, great job creating and enforcing a victim culture.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;41449026]we can make a good educated guess based on general trends though.[/QUOTE] We shouldn't be treating these guesses as irrefutable fact though. I'm not saying that shit isn't fucked up; what happened to that Florida mom is very wrong in my opinion. That doesn't automatically mean everything everywhere is fucked, or that it would have been if things were different. I'm positing that maybe for once the right call was made. I wasn't there at the crime scene or in that court room though so I don't know for sure.

They spout about justice, but they want to kill a man who defended himself. Hypocrisy at its finest, ladies and gentleman!

It's like trying to balance piss and shit on a scale, except you're shitting in the piss.

[QUOTE=Fuck_The_Pooch;41449075][IMG]http://puu.sh/3CmpY.png[/IMG] I wonder why this bitch isn't dead yet.[/QUOTE] That means we paid for Casey Anthony who killed her daughter to walk free too! omg!
