Don't forget Obama! Where's his statement? Sure, when some black kid gets murdered he just can't keep his mouth shut! Where is he now? Damn liberals!

I knew an old guy who was walking the streets of Tulsa about 1 am when he was jumped by two guys. They pulled a knife on him and demanded the usual whatever.

He disarmed them, both of them, and cut them up pretty bad. When the Police got there they also called an Ambulance since one had already passed out.

He was walking around downtown because he was a Security Guard. I asked him why he was still working at the age of 83 and he said he got tired of just playing golf.

He was a Marine Corp Vet from World War 2 and Korea, and he said some things just never leave you.

Press coverage? None. And if it had gone the other way? Just another act of crime and it takes place everyday.

Well, one of the perps was just arrested. I read this in the Houston newspaper so the whole 'no nationwide coverage' thing is a moot point.

It seems that two young guys attacked an old guy sitting in his car late at night. I think the reason for this is rather easy to understand: The guy was an easy target. Criminals don't target a victim unless they think they will get away with it.

As Southpark pointed out in the 'Free Hat' episode there is a reason a psyco killer only killed babies: It was because it was easy.

BUT, if you got a case where it's pretty clear that the victim (Zimmerman) got jumped and the perp (Martin) simply jumped the wrong guy, then you get media blitz ? That may be the way the cookie crumbles and our American way of life, but I really don't get it.

The whole issue is sad and outrageous enough. The fact that there is no outrage from the masses, makes it even MORE sad.

We live in a very sad time. The Sheeple are making it clear just how far down the tube we really are. When the Sheeple don't even see something like this as outrageous, it makes it even more clear that the country has gone to hell in a hand basket.

So true and so sad it is. The greatest generation lost another hero. I am sure our BO will comment on this tonight or this weekend ... he's so in-tune with America and those who built it.

Problem is what you have is not really attention getting. Sure, some guy died but so what? We have guys being killed every hour of every day. Had they beheaded the old guy and shoved the head on a pike in the middle of Times Square, it would be different. It isn't really any more outrageous than any other murder like the Australian kid. People do bad things all day long because they are basically bad.

If that is really the analysis, then why in the world did Martin-Zimmerman get any more than a 15 second blurb ? Thug wanna-be jumps a chubby hispanic guy who is packing heat? If Zimmerman was not packing heat, and Martin got away with beating this guy to a pulp, no one would care. And the other way around, it's what again ? Like I said, show a picture of Shorty when he was 12 years old and post that everywhere. That will get attention -- it sure did with Martin's case. Why did America celebrate a thug wanna be again? From the president on down, Martin was elevated to a near god-like status and he was at best a thug wanna be whereas Shorty actually did something for his country. Larry Bible hit the nail on the head ... this is sad all the way around.

Because the family made it a race issue and people got excited. 4 white cops beat a black guy is more spectacular than 20 black cops shoot a white guy.

Totally different. A kid dying is seen as some sort of sad thing compared to an adult dying.

The Prez is an attention whore and you know it. Anyone in politics is an AW. Look at the "outrage" over bailing out banks from the senators. Really? You didn't specify conditions or read fine print.

"did" being the operative word. "did" is past tense. The evil that men do lives after them.......

Hearing AARP and Geritol to hold a press conference.

You missed the main point of controversy surrounding the Martin killing.

greazzer · #27 08-23-2013, 05:33 PM

I bet if Shorty was packing heat and blasted these fine upstanding Americans, you would have the good Rev. Al, dear Jesse J., and our BO, et cet, all pounding the bricks and airways about how horrible America is. Maybe the DHS guy should air this scenario on his YouTube channel. I am still waiting to hear from BO. He's quite the commentator, is he not ?

No, I don't think so. Actually, there was no real controversy at all, but a fabricated circus from those who prey and thrive off the race card mongers. Wanna-be thug tangles with the wrong guy, news at 11. I wonder if Shorty did the same thing and shot the 2 youths? I am betting it would be the same exact circus as the Martin Zimmerman saga, from the president down.

WGAS about some old white guy, anyway? Actuarially, he was useless.
