...is that the title skews it towards a certain DU demographic well represented here in this group, so that the response rate of racists is much higher than it might be for a typical DU poll.

A poll not so skewed for racists by its thread title would likely have much different responses.

Let me know if you find anything on that discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2015 #46

Zimmerman was the first aggressor, plain and simple. He was armed, playing self appointed Ghost in the Machine Mar 2015 #22

He was not told to stay in the car gejohnston Mar 2015 #23

SWING... virginia mountainman Mar 2015 #33

"He was not told to stay in the car". When it first happened, that's what I read somewhere... Ghost in the Machine Mar 2015 #57

still wrong gejohnston Mar 2015 #60

He was told that officers were already on the way, then Zimmerman said "he's running away now" Ghost in the Machine Mar 2015 #71

even if the other were alive, doesn't matter gejohnston Mar 2015 #72

All you have to do is look at what Martin was doing when he was shot and what was happening braddy May 2016 #126

That does not matter to some... virginia mountainman May 2016 #131

So if was not a personal attack it was just an ad hominem attack on mathematicians? Still not cool. Fred Sanders Mar 2015 #56

It's neither a personal attack blueridge3210 Mar 2015 #59

Like I said, ad hominem. Fred Sanders Mar 2015 #61

Um, no. blueridge3210 Mar 2015 #62

Could be a strawman attack then? Imputing general incompetency from one dubious example? Fred Sanders Mar 2015 #63

It is not against the law for a white man to stalk and murder a black teenager wearing a hoodie Agnosticsherbet Mar 2015 #51

What??? discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2015 #52

I've been watching the courts for years, and in most cases such murders are unpunished. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2015 #53

Thanks for your vote and opinion discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2015 #54

Would you feel the same if the races were reversed? n/t oneshooter Mar 2015 #65

It isn't a feeling. It is a fact of modern life in the USA. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2015 #66

Would you "feel" the same about this if the races were reversed. oneshooter Mar 2015 #67

The races aren't going to be reversed. We are discussing reality not a fantasy novel. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2015 #69

Funny, never could get an answer Duckhunter935 May 2016 #145

Because it would show his complete lack of understanding Lurks Often May 2016 #147

If the case hadn't been politicized, gejohnston May 2016 #146

Claiming that Zimmerman acted reasonably is an opinion, not a fact. stone space May 2016 #155

The jury disagreed with you, as do most people who understand criminal law Lurks Often May 2016 #156

there is an objective standard for reasonableness gejohnston May 2016 #157
