Police have outsized power in this country. They can basically take your liberty whenever they want & lock you up.

But hey it's not happening to us white guys, so why worry?

Also no worry because there's no more overt racism in the US

Are you kidding? Whites, especially straight male Caucasians, are the most discriminated against demographic in America now.

Every day we are harassed by law and threatened with disarmament and the potential of losing our freedom of association as well as our second amendment right to protect ourselves from hostile and hateful global majority people whom outnumber us 100,000-1 on a global scale.

Holy shite, man. I've read plenty of your posts before....you're better than this.

Your first two sentences carry a lot of merit, then you ruin it w/ the last two sentences and that link.

This.

If you wanna talk about how the war on drugs and the war on poverty has killed off three generations of black men, be my guest.

The link is of absolutely no substance, as are most things associated w mother jones.

First off, ANY comparison of the Michael Dunn scenario to that of Zimmerman wallows in ignorance. There is no comparability. NONE!

Second, Angela Corey is an overcharging bitch of an attorney. At some point I suspect she'll find herself Nifonged. This is a clear second degree murder case. Yet she's trying it on a first degree murder overcharge.

Third, I cannot believe you went racial on this thing. The kid who was killed was a 17y/o human being. Period!

The animal who gunned him down will likely spend the rest of his life in jail based on current convictions alone. Mother Jones can stick it's race baiting screed where the sun doesn't shine. What a pathetic take.

The 22nd thing you can't do is be an effective president.

At least we have nothing to disprove my assertion.

Sure there is, the media told people they are important and covered the trials closely, brah...

This is how pathetic our news in this country has become. The only reason these trials make news is because Florida allows them to be broadcast on TV. So the networks know they will have tons of footage to fill air with when discussing it and can have panel after panel after panel break everything down every night.

Plus a station like CNN, which owns HLN, just uses the "news" of the trial to cross-promote that station.

The same with Jodi Arias (Arizona). The same with Casey Anthony (also Florida). Just a crazy coincidence that all these cases just happen to be in a state which allows trials to be broadcast? Or is the only reason they are newsworthy is because they happened in a state with televisions in courtrooms?

It's a collection of links to local news reports. Why does the curator matter?

It's not about race it's about class. Police harass the poor, who are disproportionately black.

i don't know if this board is the place to make the bolded comment. cops, or more specifically the militarization of our police and the growing police state, are detested on this board

Clarification: A previous version of this story stated that Dunn was pleading self-defense under Florida's controversial Stand Your Ground law.Dunn waived his right to an immunity hearing under Stand Your Ground


oh so another Florida murder trial where SYG wasn't used as a defense, but the race-baiting media won't stop talking about it?

Looks like it is a case of the police giving a dUI to a black man who blew a 0.000. As if no white person has ever been charged with a dui after blowing a 0.000

This, IMO, is why the War on Drugs has lasted for as long as it has, because if you're middle-class (or richer) and white, then you really don't see and experience the absolutely outrageous bullshite police pull under the guise of this "war."
