Who did he execute?

He broke the law. That drew the attention of the police officer. He didn't surrender, and apparently turned and began to threaten the officer.

He made a series of bad choices that lead to his death. This isn't the cop's fault, or America's fault. This is the deceased's fault, and he paid for his foolishness with his life.

I know liberals breathed a sigh of relief when the trayvons didn't riot...while they're busy relocating this shite to your neighborhood, they don't want you seeing what it is they're moving.

Why we keep up with charade that the black community is a victim of white oppression when it is clear to anyone living in the south east, Baltimore, st. Louis, Detroit, Philadelphia, etc. that they are victims of themselves...is so far beyond me. I think you have to be an imbecile to have one shred of compassion for the plight of black America especially considering that trying to help with any solution that doesn't recognize white guilt/white oppression/white privilege is met with instant hostility and charges of racism.

I don't know what world you grew up in where you guys are taught cops are allowed to shoot us when we are unarmed. This cops life was not in danger and he put two rounds in a man's head. Then the body was displayed on the street for the entire community to see with his brain matter everywhere.

I'm not a liberal or conservative. Nor do I care about the skin color of the cop or deceased. I care that people in this country believe you can be killed by police because the police say so. He was unarmed. Did he make mistakes? Yes. News flash; we all did when we were 18. When I was 18 I resisted arrest after a bar fight. The cop didn't shoot me. Probably because he was a good human being and didn't want to kill someone who wasn't a threat to him.

This is supposed to be a free nation where police authorities are not allowed to blow your brains out. Maybe if that was someone you knew you'd feel different.

Summary execution. Yay America!

So will you execute yourself when the evidence exonerates the policeman?

No I wouldn't. Charging us was never in our rules on engagement though. My teammates always said we wouldn't fire at anyone unless we were being shot at. It's tough because there were some guys you came across who you knew were Taliban members. We would turn them into Afghan authorities.

I know he was a big guy. I know he was resisting if not attacking the officer. I just think there had to be a better way than blow his fricking brains out for the world to see. We were all 18 and can remember the mistakes that we made. I just don't feel the punishment fits the crime.

A new school year has brought a new challenge for Hall County educators.

"So far we've gotten students from Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and San Salvador,” said district spokesman, Gordon Higgins.

They are the Central American immigrant students the federal government classifies as "unaccompanied minors". The children fled their countries, alone, to come to the United States hoping to reunite with relatives already here.

The Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement reports 1,412 of these children are now in Georgia. Twenty-eight are enrolled in Hall County schools.

"What we found right away is that there is a very wide range of educational experiences with these students," Higgins said.

The students range in age from 6-17, but their age isn't a fair indicator of what grade they should enter, Higgins said.
