       RC> 28 Jul 13 11:44, you wrote to me:               RC>>> Zimmerman was tried and convicted by the press before the        RC>>> real trial began.               BK>> As compared to his being exonerated by politicians and his        BK>> father's buddies before the investigation was completed.               RC> Actually it was determined by the local police and        RC> prosecutor that there wasnt enough evidence..               One of the officers on the scene, Ayala, wrote it up as        manslaughter, as did the original investigating detective.               Again, the prosecutor had no business shutting down the        investigation that soon. However, the prosecutor is an elected        office.               RC> The trial that did result bears this out too!               The trial evidence did not. At least one juror said she thought        he was guilty, but the judge's instructions left them no choice        but to vote not-guilty.               The prosecution was so inept it appears they wanted to lose.               RC>>> There are also cases involving role reversals that didnt        RC>>> gain the media monsters attention. Two black teenagers               BK>> IOW, excuse one because another happened. What does media        BK>> attention matter? The only reason Martin got media attention was        BK>> Zimmerman was let go, without even an attempt to bring it to        BK>> trial, despite two cops writing it up as manslaughter.               RC> Yes a master consopiracy, one is a racist if they are white.               How does Zimmerman's family connections amount to an accusation        of racism?               BK>> How much do you know about the white man in Toledo they just        BK>> arrested in the disappearance of a young white child? The child        BK>> is believed to be dead, and at the least they do have a good        BK>> child endangerment charge against the man and the girl's mother.               RC> Here is the appearance I see given...               What does that have to do with what I asked?               RC> Murder Victims are assigned points depending on their race        RC> and the race of their assailant.. Scale 1 to 10               RC> Victim Race Assailant Race Points        RC> =========== ============== ======               RC> Black White 10        RC> Black Black 3        RC> White White 2        RC> White Black 1               RC> Now this chart is over the top, but I am speaking of how        RC> things *seem* to me.               That is about the point value of getting away with a Stand Your        Ground Defense in Florida, except for the spread being too wide.        Other than that, it has no point in this discussion.               RC> You are so full of white guilt that you refuse to see that               What does that have to do with this discussion?               RC> a demographic that is only 15% of the total population is        RC> responsible for 50% of the total mursers... That of same               What does that have to do with this discussion?               RC> demographic 85% of all crimes committed against them are        RC> done by others of same demographic.               Same point applies to white people, so what? What does this have        to do with this discussion?               RC> WE dont see any bitching there...               RC> What really irks me is the deaths of those black teens in        RC> Chicago somehow doesnt rise to the same level of tragic of        RC> the Martin case.               That irks black people as well, what does that have to do with        this discussion? Black people have been complaining about the        lack of attention to the killings of young blacks for years.               RC>>> A black man part of a neighborhood watch program shoots and        RC>>> kills a white assailant, he was tried and acquitted..               BK>> Yes, if he was truly an assailant.               RC> Zimmerman shouldnt have been there, Martin didnt have to        RC> turn and attack..               There is no evidence Martin turned and attacked.               RC>>> The Justice system only works when the verdict/decision        RC>>> goes our way!!!               BK>> How about the case gets investigated deeply? How about the        BK>> father's status as a retired judge, and the mother's position as        BK>> a court clerk, are not a consideration? How about the        BK>> prosecutor's don't shut the case down when two cops have written        BK>> it up as manslaughter, without further investigation?               RC> In the Roderick Scott case, rolls reversed verdict went        RC> same way, you like verdict... Stand Your Ground and all..               Except for the fact that very little you said stands up. Scott        was arrested immediately, charged, tried for manslaughter.               The teenager was committing a crime. Scott was on his own        property, and did not chase the kid.               Zimmerman was far from his own property, chased Martin, and        Martin was not committing a crime. Zimmerman was not arrested        and was not charged and was not brought to trial until the        public outcry.               And New York does *NOT* have a stand your ground law.               Zimmerman has none of the evidence in his favor Scott did.               Completely different.               RC> Dont chastize Zimmerman for picking his parents, the state        RC> got its day in court, the evidence was shaky...               The evidence was good, the prosecution was shaky.               RC> Had the original manslaughter stood, acquittal rendered,        RC> you all would still be carrying on...               What does that mean?               RC> Look Bob, the death of anyone excepting reasonable        RC> exceptions is tragic, a criminal taking the life of a        RC> victim is tragic, its HATE! The race baiters better        RC> recognize this.               Yet you insist on comparing a case of a man who had sound and        undisputed evidence in his favor, including two living witnesses        who were friends of the victim, and no connections, with a man        who had already provoked a response, had no witnesses to what he        did, and political connections.               Somehow someone stepping out his own door, seeing three people        in the act of committing a crime, standing on his own property,        and having two hostile witnesses still alive is not the same as        someone who is no where near his home, observes someone going        about his lawful business walking home, follows him, chases him,        then doesn't have one single living witness to what happened.               Not even close to the same.                                   BOB KLAHN bob.klahn@sev.org http://home.toltbbs.com/bobklahn              ...
