97. on THAT I will agree with you, and said so at the time

although I would remind the four blind mice on the jury that once upon a time it was against the rules of courtesy even to call a liar a liar.

Here are the two PMs I sent, with your reply in between.

"Okay, that was a nasty reply.

All kinds of people are suspected all the time for various reasons.

Should be ashamed of what? And what racism? The racism of not thinking Zimmerman should have gotten his ass kicked?

> thanks...it's about time.
> being a RACIST doesn't give anyone the right to follow or suspect a black person. Trayvon Martin is dead because a racist asshole decided he "looked suspicious," confronted him, against the advice of the police dispatcher, and shot him. probably because he was getting his racist ass kicked...which he fully deserved. Trayvon Martin's only "crime" was "walking while black" in a neighborhood where his father lived, he had the misfortune of running into a psycho fuck with a gun.

I believe he is dead today because he chose to beat the crap out of somebody instead of just running home. That doesn't mean I think he should have died, but I can feel empathy for Zimmerman too. A guy who gave his own time to try to keep his neighbors from getting robbed. I might do the same thing myself - get involved, try to help. And if somebody is on top of me, punching me in the face, I am gonna shoot them before I let them knock me out.

And now, I'm off to see a lawyer (so I can sue a police department hopefully).
