What if the white teen was only in the neighborhood to help a disabled black kid as part of a big brother program? Change anything? I know you think the black guy here with the unregistered gun was within his rights to chase down the white teen who looked out of place…,but do you think the black guys trial odds look good?

Appeals courts reverse only a tiny percentage of cases and only deal with legal errors not issues of fact, which are for the jury to decide.

true. so, you’re a prosecutor somewhere and you hear these facts in Florida.

Older black male is out at night on his porch and sees a young white kid walking down the street who is looking for a half pound of marijuana from a dealer he knows. Black male adult knows the white kid doesn’t belong there, and is sick of white kids coming to his neighborhood and fostering the drug trade. Black male adult starts following white kid, who gets freaked out. Black male adult yells “hey you, what the fuck are you doing in my ‘hood? Yeah you, stop and explain what the fuck you are doing here!”

Black male adult corners white teen; teen starts frantically punching the black male. Black male adult is losing the fight when he reaches into his waistband, pulls out a saturday ngiht special and blasts the white kid away. White kid is an honors student in a local white neighborhood who had been accepted to an Ivy League school and was trying to score drugs for a going away party for all his friends, whoa re also goign to ivy league schools.

black male was dressed in gang-like attire; white kid was dressed in preppy button down and khakis and arrived in his physician dad’s lexus.

Question: Is the black guy here as innocent as Zimmerman? Clearly the white kid here was more blameworthy in terms of his criminal intent for being in the location. But what about the black male. We definitely don’t want “feelings” to intrude, only facts…

Bonus points: you’re the prosecutor. Do you think it will be easier to get a conviction on the above facts than on George Z.?

It’s not like the matrix because we have no body being maintained anywhere.

We ourselves are just a simulation.

I hope someone somewhere finds all this amusing.

Bastard!!!

Scaredy is gone forever.

Squatting masterfully tonight.

Pretty sure I won’t be eating alpo

It will take a lot of self control to stop posting and reading here but I don’t think it will be that much harder than stopping drinking since 9-29-11.

Also going to need more time to devote to forming the Chirch of Simukated Reality. Services will be held on the Internet.

Hoping to see some of your avatars every week in my simulated pews.

Could do a shawshank redemption move and just dump it on a daily walk one pocketful at a time

The Secret History of Guns
The Ku Klux Klan, Ronald Reagan, and, for most of its history, the NRA all worked to control guns. The Founding Fathers? They required gun ownership—and regulated it. And no group has more fiercely advocated the right to bear loaded weapons in public than the Black Panthers—the true pioneers of the modern pro-gun movement. In the battle over gun rights in America, both sides have distorted history and the law, and there’s no resolution in sight.

most people agree Reagan was a pragmatic, reasonable conservative dude…

nowadays, we’re left with a bunch of fucking whackjobs.

RONALD REAGAN quotes on gun control…

“This is a matter of vital importance to the public safety … While we recognize that assault-weapon legislation will not stop all assault-weapon crime, statistics prove that we can dry up the supply of these guns, making them less accessible to criminals.”

Ronald Reagan, in a May 3, 1994 letter to the U.S. House of Representatives, which was also signed by Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford.

“I do not believe in taking away the right of the citizen for sporting, for hunting and so forth, or for home defense. But I do believe that an AK-47, a machine gun, is not a sporting weapon or needed for defense of a home.”

Ronald Reagan, in a speech at his 78th birthday celebration in Los Angeles on February 6, 1989.

“Certain forms of ammunition have no legitimate sporting, recreational, or self-defense use and thus should be prohibited.”

Ronald Reagan, in an August 28, 1986 signing statement on a bill that banned the production and importation of armor-piercing bullets.
“With the right to bear arms comes a great responsibility to use caution and common sense on handgun purchases.”

“Every year, an average of 9,200 Americans are murdered by handguns, according to Department of Justice statistics. This does not include suicides or the tens of thousands of robberies, rapes and assaults committed with handguns. This level of violence must be stopped.”

Ronald Reagan, in a March 29, 1991 New York Times op-ed in support of the Brady Bill.
“I think maybe there could be some restrictions that there had to be a certain amount of training taken.”

Ronald Reagan

“Well, I think there has to be some [gun] control.”

Still, a college degree is worth something.

I agree. But the point remains. We cannot know if there is no afterlife. If you’re right, you know. If I’m right, we never get to know since we are not there to know the nothing.

Seems unfair.

[scaredyclassic]

Ever since new town it seems like we have to read about some dumb shooting every day.

So irritating. What’s the big deal?

Why can’t we read about stabbings or slip n falls?

Why is it all shootings all the time on the news cycle?

http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/22/justice/texas-college-shooting/index.html

like, why is this news today/ Did more people choke on steak? why don’t we outlaw steak? why don’t we have federally mandated chewing programs? Why don’t we just have federally mandated dental police, for that matter…

hey wait, that was vermin supreme’s platform!

also the coach at eisenhower high in san bernardino got shot last night. if only he’d been heavily armed and had his gun drawn as he was approaching that public restroom…

A debt free education is a pretty bitching legacy.

It’s difficult to tell sometimes what might please an angry G-d or a demented supremely sophisticated computer programmer.

I believe we Jews find it best just to keep our heads down and not piss Him off any more than we already have.

[scaredyclassic]

hmm. sounds pretty dangerous, if those are the benchmark comaprisons..
