(7,947 posts)87. Isn't that called context?
he supports his argument with things the kid did before, things his sister did and things his father did. Right wing type of bullshit.
How can you say it's right wing type bullshit? Just because right wingers have done something like that before? Is that how you're going to support your argument?
Then he actually argues the kid should know he's a Muslim post 911 and therefore should be more careful about what he does! He ought to know his place!
Then he says we are bigoted against the teachers as being from Texas! Oblivious of the fact he said this kid is more likely to get into trouble because he's a Muslim, should know that and be careful what he does.
We still wouldn't know this kid's name if he hadn't gone out of his way to bring something to school that nobody told him to bring to school. There was no project. No teacher said make this and bring it in. There was no science fair. The first teacher he showed it to, his science teacher, shop teacher, whatever, said don't show this to anyone else. It's not being careful about what he does in general because he's a Muslim. It's don't do this specific thing, which would apply to any kid. If you're going to bring it to school for no official reason, don't let it make a sound during class when nobody is expecting it.

Why the hell would a student need to justify what he was doing if it was harmless?

It's good to know there is at least one person here not afraid to stand up for George Zimmerman.

So, given his bad reputation, is there anything important in the video?

Well, he pointed out that the kid was known for pranks, and the sister had been suspended before.

I wrote a quote from the video, which you have apparently not taken the time to listen to.

As a Bernie supporter, that part of all this pisses me off. Bernie will not survive such stupidity

This doesn't have any reflection on Sen Sanders. Only the anti-progressives

I didn't expect to see this posted here. I find this man to be both a racist and a bigot.
