... Good to see our local race baiters out in force, though.

It's absolutely disgusting & entirely dishonorable to this soldier's plight that people are using his suffering to advance their own political agenda..

Makes me sick.

Some real scum bags in this thread.

lol

I couldn't care less about that.

I wonder how long it's going to take to catch the animals that committed this crime and prosecute their sorry asses.

That.....is what matters.

Don't be a coward, respond to each post separately if you feel someone is a "scumbag".

That's better.

Unfortunately your ridiculous rant still has no merit, the mention of a double standard, or a hoody, doesn't equate to "pushing a political agenda". It's simply bringing up facts, facts that matter. Try not to be so dramatic, did you stomp your foot when you threw that little tantrum? I bet you did, that's cute.

Oh here we go....

What does the media think is sure to follow....

I thought you had something to offer but as Klink pointed out, it's just mindless race baiting.
Carry on, pea brain.

As much as the community wants it to get.

If the community unites and demands justice, the media will be there.

Just because you feel like making a claim doesn't mean it's true. Nowhere have I "race baited".  I pointed out the fact that the assaulters had hoodies over their heads. We learned from various people in the TM thread that it's ridiculous to believe a person looks suspcious if they are walking around at night wearing a hoody, didn't we? Yep, we did...so this case is clearly just a coincidence.

Btw, nowhere have I made so much as ONE comment about race in this thread, which proves how eager you cowards are to make that accusation. You don't even need evidence of any kind, you just let it fly. And I'M the pathetic one.....right.

Sorry, Escobar is right on this one.   People were/are outraged that Zimmerman may have "profiled" Martin.   This incident underscores the reality of it all.  It will be interesting if the media picks up on that.

[olafberserker]

On that note,  I wonder how many athletes, musicians, politicians, etc.  will be donning their hoodies tomorrow in a show of unity?

[wreck ship]

Wow. Uncalled for.

What are the chances of your car breaking down, at 3am, on that side of town?

Stay in car and fall for help.

Yeah, what do you mean "on that side of town?"

He has only been here a month according to the article and he was trying to walk home (pretty long walk though I must say)

I'm not justifying what happened. I think it's horrifying what happened and the attackers should be made an example of.

I was just pointing out the unfortunate sequence of events that led to the attack and how I would avoid it in the future.

Hopefully enough to get the punks identified and caught ...
