I do have a theory about this story and the direction FoxNews is heading. Since Obama started his election bid and eventually winning the Presidency of our fine country; FoxNews has done everything possible to make this guy look like a Socialist, Marxist, Non-Christian, Muslim loving, ect...

And stop with the False Equivalence tactics.

From Pallud's link: It's inconsequential anyways. All it is trying to shine a negative light on the mother. It apparently it is working considering the way you worded your post. Careful, or your true colors may just shine through :rolleyes:

A UK news article again? So......since the kid wore a hoodie and smoked pot, he had it coming to him? Even though he had every right to be where he was and was only armed with Skittles and an iced tea. Do you even realize how ridiculous you sound? I wouldn't be surprised if this may be...

Dead kids tell no tales

Links please.

What we have here and what is used all to often here in the soapbox is a: False Equivalence is a logical fallacy which describes a situation where there is a logical and apparent equivalence, but when in fact there is none.

You just repeated my point. The family is looking for proof that a proper investigation was done the night there 17 year old son died from a gun shot wound.

At any event, it still doesn't excuse the original intent of the thread. Asking where is the outrage over a student being murdered where an arrest has been made and comparing it with the Trayvon Martin incident. It was a pathetic attempt of minimizing what is happening down in Florida.

Also, for the justice system to work, you must first have a person under arrest and charged before you can have a trial.

There wasn't an investigation or at least a proper one done, that's the point! You do realize the incident happened February 26th? The family demanded the 911 tapes be released which didn't happen until March 17th almost a month later, the body was plenty cold by then.. Once the tapes were...

The start of this thread and the comments that followed just shows the true colors of some here in the soapbox. Truely a sad commentary for some members here in EO.

Precisely the reason why people are upset. A 17 year old unarmed kid is shot dead in a gated community and the police failed to do a proper investigation. The parents want answers to why their child is no longer with them. Absolutely there is and more will come out. Yeah well, what...

Beat me to it scott. I like how someone can make a statement about it not being 'in the hood', then turn around and "Like" your post. I recall that the Trayvon Martin shooting didn't happen in the hood either, but in a gated community.

Here, I'll let Reagan's Solicitor General explain it. Take special care in watching his reaction at the 3:10 mark in the video when he's asked about broccoli. Reagan solicitor general defends Obamacare - Yahoo! News

Cut off your nose to spite your face. Good one.

Yeah......Limbaugh and FoxNews keep telling me if the individual mandate is upheld, Congress then can require us all to eat broccoli. I for one am a big fan of broccoli.

I don't know about the racist part, I DO know that there are often VERY GOOD reasons for 'preemptive' strikes. Hey, Mr. Zimmerman was just acting preemptively.

This has been going on for 10 years!!!! It's not the first time this has come up and it certainly won't be the last. It has reared it's ugly head again because of the shooting by Bales. The article from yahoo that layout posted was revealing the issues on PTSD and how it has been ignored...

Wait a minute.....hmmm...... The powers that be moved the thread, but members cannot access the thread, OVM say's it in the shop, might have to scrap it and our beloved chef agreed to it. If chef agreed to "scrap" it, why didn't he just delete it himself? Was there a violation of the...
