I've been coming by once or twice a week to read, but this motivated me to post. I really enjoyed Haywood Supremecist's graph showing that proportionately, people with light skin are far less like to be attacked by people with dark skin than vice-versa, while thinking it said the opposite. I also really enjoyed Scat becoming an advocate for the rigthts of the accused, to the point of decrying a prosecutor fgor making aggressive statements. I can't help but wonder if this will be a new pattern for Scat.
As for this article, I think it's great for the media to take the time to help humanize that poor, unfortunate pale-skinned guy who frightened a kid to the point where he was running, tracked him down, and confronted him. Maybe one of these days we'll see sympathetic pages devoted to a suspect with a dark skin color who shot an unarmed pale-skinned kid after hasing the kid down. I'm curious if Scat noticed that at least one of the burglars had been caught and was in custody before Martin was shot, making the incident all the more tragic.
I've recently read (on a site called the Waggist) that Martin may have encountered Zimmerman twice that evening, with Zimmerman lying to Martin on their first encounter about his following Martin. Either way, Zimmerman chased Martin o the point were martin was running, tracked him down, and confronted him. Regardless of whether Martin swung first or not, whether Martin had Zimmerman on the ground or not, Zimmerman brought the gun to the confrontation and provoked it. Zimmerman is morally and ethically a murderer. Legally, perhaps not.
Back to hiatus, probably for another month.
