(20,043 posts)for your dark satire to push your point. It's actually a better comparison. Not a kid that was killed not long ago for doing nothing more than minding his own business.
Listen I know Manning is a hero to many here and people are losing their shit over his sentence, but you don't get to take an incredibly hurtful and still fresh incident and use to say 'see my guy was treated unfairly that damn goverment' and not expect push back.
It reduces his death to a talking point--it makes Trayvons death all about Mannings sentence. Look at your response, it's about how Manning's sentence is unfair.
This so called satire is a slap in the face to many people here and the fact that I have to explain this is horrible.
I stand by what I said, there were much better comparisons that could have been used.
This was chosen to get hits and for the 'wow' factor. It'll be on other sites tomorrow and I wouldn't be surprised if you don't hear it on some talk radio.
I'm sure Trayvon would be so happy that his murder helped further your agenda and that sites hits.
Just for the record, I'm on board with a pardon for the guy. Hopefully he has more compassion than his some of his supporters.
edited to add: I'm done now. I'm done giving this piece of crap OP anymore kicks.
