There are so many inaccuracies (a known criminal - false; a druggie - false; a wannabe hoodlum- false) in your post I don't know where to begin. The problem is, I don't want to begin with that list so I won't because it will make little difference with people like you.
Here's what interesting with guys like Apache (and Train and Holdem and Crod and JohnZimbo and Slovak and Esplanade and Henry Lilly and TiltLogic and and and and and): they leave themselves open to so much criticism with everything they type.
Somehow, in Apache's mind, the death of a black individual shouldn't be a focus in the media (a death that wouldn't be a focus had Zimmerman been arrested in the first place) because there was another black on white crime somewhere else that 'never got much attention.'
Well pointing that out says a lot. It's called selective memory and group identification. The first thing you notice is that he's identifying with another senior citizen, and a white one at that. But what's even more interesting is where the crime took place; in Tulsa. So in Apache's mind, and many here as well, you go 'crime for crime' to devalue one in favor of the other. This can be done ad infinitum and is pointless but is the common path of those looking for a way to marginalize the black deceased and the black community at large.
Again, to repeat (because you must repeat and repeat again with these people) he chooses a black on white crime involving senior citizens in Tulsa for a reason. But in the 'crime for crime' spirit, I come back with an even bigger crime where 2 white snipers terrorized an entire majority black city and killed 3 black men while wounded two others. The irony? It also happened in Tulsa with a worse result...Of all the cities for him to choose...
Ultimately, none of what you offered is admissible in court. Nor does it justify the mindset of Zimmerman to stalk and ultimately confront Trayvon, who might I add, is actually the one who was likely standing his ground in a forum reasonable doubt.
This is of little importance to guys like Apache and his ilk. He, like the list above, looks at the black community as culturally inferior and therefore the death of one black teen, three black men, or five black men or 500 black men or even 50,000, mean little to him when two white senior citizens are involved.
Both crimes happened in the very same city, with no mention from him, and from a utilitarian standpoint, the sniper crime did more damage in terms of lives taken and fear gripping a community. No matter. He will put his head to pillow and spew the same bullshit tomorrow and the next, just like Crod who is already in full lapdog mode and has appearance in thread.
Apache, stay away from the race debates. Like most here, you're way in over your head in trying...
Dont you find it the least bit disturbing that you are the only one on your side? Everybody else CANT be wrong. That means you are having delusions of grandeur.
How to you know Trayvon wasnt into drugs or robbery? Its IMPOSSIBLE for you to be 100% certain. Please admit that it is at least a possibility. Can you at least do that?
Then you put words in Apaches mouth. He never said the media shouldnt focus on Trayvons case, he merely pointed out that a black man killed and raped an 85 year old white woman but it never made national attention because the whites in Tulsa didnt threaten to riot.
Apache is a good dude, he was simply trying to state that this case has been retardedly magnified when there are much more heinous crimes being committed out there, including the 2 white snipers. See, its not just about race with me, it the crime as a whole.
Would you not agree, if you read both stories and didnt know races, that 2 elderly people being raped and killed would be worse than a 17 year old being shot on the street?
