(31,810 posts)I'm black in America and I'm onto the 'con'.
Kid is black.
Guy is white.
Same community.
Same white jury.
Guy walks.
Case closed. Move on. And I was aware of this long before it was posted at DU. Zimmerman set a precedent.
Go read ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL of the Zimmerman supporters posts the past few weeks. Many of them truly supported the belief that Zimmerman felt his life was in danger.
Head being smashed on a concrete sidewalk 30 times - versus a REAL LIVE SHOT GUN SIGHTING.
He (Dunn) truly BELIEVED he saw a shot gun.
Why defend him or say it's different.
He BELIEVED it and proceeded accordingly.
And if he had just stepped on the 'gas' and driven away - whose to say the 'not an angel himself' wouldn't have just blown him away as he was driving away. I can hear his attorney's now - But he believed it - so it was.
Case closed.
That area of Florida is making quite a name for itself you know . . . And well - 'we' seem them for what they are. You need to accept that - because I have a REASONABLE fear that they will never give justice to a black victim 'period' in that neighborhood.
