George Zimmerman Emerged From Hiding for Truck Crash Rescue

[JimDandy]

138. My sixth alert in 7 and 1/2 years on DU.

The above post is an ugly, racist, 'blame the color of the victim's skin for getting himself killed' statement.

UGGGGHHH!

This is NOT a difference of opinion, Jurors.

I have seen one other posting on DU about Trayvon's murder which also had a 'blame the parents' meme and that sick post was hidden:

The one above is even worse, because this poster is essentially telling Blacks that they are back in the Jim Crow era, and Black kids like Trayvon should know better than to walk on a public sidewalk in the presence of a white man and then run from him, and his parent's should have taught him the consequences of doing that.

"THEY SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT HIM TO AVOID...THE...CONSEQUENCES OF...RACISM."

I have never had a post hidden. Only 5 DUers have had me on ignore in the entire 7 and 1/2 years I've been a member, and I have had about 17 on ignore. This is a deal breaker for me, though. I don't care to associate with anyone who believes that that sick racist sentiment is just a difference of opinion, so please, would the jurors, and anyone else who thinks that, just PM me and I'll put you on ignore to save us all from having to read each others "difference of opinions".

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

YOUR COMMENTS:

Crazy, bigoted, hurtful, insensitive post. I can't believe I just read this:

"Trayvon Martin's parents if they were aware of the racist nature of our society shoulld have taught him to avoid the cruelest consequence of that racism. They should have taught him when it is appropriate to back down and to pick your battles."

MIRT ALERTED for trollish talk

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Mon Jul 22, 2013, 10:02 PM, and voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Agree with Alerter.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Inappropriate on so many levels. Racist, and blaming the victims of this tragedy.

Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: it is an opinion - and will be debated. this is what discussion is.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I think you are letting your TM is always right, GZ is always wrong get the better of you. Come to grips with the fact that the case is over, and get a life, if not a clue. Oh, and for the record... maybe spend some time researching posts in GD about people 'telling their kids' about how racist, corrupt and evil the police are, and the warnings they give to them about what they could be facing. That should keep your little alert finger busy for a while.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Oh dear, a differing opinion! Cue the mob!

Thank you.
