No worries. These people almost always end up the same way. With a hole in them on some street somewhere. They self select out of society.
That they do. The "Black on Black" crime is WAY worse than the "White on Black" crime. And even worse, is "Black on White" crime.
While the kid might have had a bright future as a football player (no idea) and he might NOT have been doing a damned thing wrong, what possessed him to attack Zimmerman like that instead of disappearing into the dark like he was trying to do?
Zimmerman is still "innocent" until proved guilty.

Re: Trayvon Martin Shooting
What did we see coming?
That there are "racial problems"?
I never saw them coming from ME.
That's my point. I know a lot of people, all races. And of all of them, NONE of them but the blacks I know have any sort of "chip" on their shoulders.
They are constantly telling how the white man has them down and so forth.
it's sad.

If we're so oppressing black people, how is it they hold all the government jobs?

Angry over steps being taken due to a financial emergency in Detroit, New Black Panther Party leader Malik Shabazz declared he would burn the city down.
"This is white on black crime," he said during public comment at the two hour meeting held Monday afternoon.
"This is white supremacy. Before you can take over our city, we will burn it down," he added.
According to the Detroit Free Press, Shabazz was one of about 100 angry and defiant Detroiters who attended the meeting.
The Detroit Free Press reported:
Detroit's financial review team this afternoon declared that the city is under a financial emergency and no consent agreement between the city and state has been adopted, a move that forces Gov. Rick Snyder to appoint an emergency manager within the next 10 days under state law.
State officials, however, are hopeful that an agreement can be reached before an emergency manager is named.
"In that 10-day window, if a consent agreement can be adopted, that's an alternative for the governor and that's what he prefers to see," said state Treasurer Andy Dillon.
Dillon said the Mayor, the City Council and the Governor would have to sign off on the agreement within the next ten days.
But some locals see the move as a "hostile takeover of a predominately black city," the Free Press added.
Local public sector unions that represent city employees are unhappy with the move as well.
The Free Press noted:
"I negotiated with 30 unions to get that agreement," said Ed McNeil, special assistant to President Al Garrett, AFSCME Council 25, who co-chaired the coalition of unions' negotiating team. "It's a shame. We are fighting for and sacrificing for this city to bring Detroit back together."
A post at Twitchy.com highlights some of the messages sparked by Shabazz's threat:
"For Detroit that probably qualifies as Urban Renewal," wrote one person.
"What? Theres nothing left to burn," wrote another.
"As an outsider half the city already is #NeedHelp," commented "NaturalEmerald."
According to the Free Press, security struggled to maintain order throughout the meeting as attendees chanted, "No takeover!"
Last December, talk show host Rush Limbaugh offered his advice for fixing Detroit: "Get rid of every liberal in government."
During an odd and fiery interview on CNN Monday night, Anderson Cooper tussled with Mikhail Muhammad of The New Black Panther Party over the group’s reaction to the death of Florida Teen Trayvon Martin. The New Black Panther Party has offered a reward for the capture of Martin’s shooter George Zimmerman, and cited “street people law” during the interview Monday night as justification for charging murder against George Zimmerman while calling for a citizen’s arrest.
“He committed murder, he committed a hate crime,” Muhammad told Cooper of Zimmerman, explaining, “we decided to take it upon ourselves and coalition with other groups, with other black people who have had enough.”
Anderson continued to remind Muhammad that Martin’s father has explicitly rejected the “eye for an eye” rhetoric that some members of The New Black Panther Party have used, but the spokesman appeared to ignore the father’s request.
“We are military, we are here to support Trayvon’s family,” Muhammad argued, adding that the government wasn’t really there for Trayvon Martin and that “they have killed millions of black men and women so not only are we calling for justice for Trayvon.”
“You tell our justice department and Eric Holder and our President Obama to get off up their ass and do the work and the rest is done!” Muhammad went on to say. When pressed by Cooper on the legality, he responded that he could make a citizen’s arrest of Zimmerman, who has not yet been charged for anything, because the New Black Panther Party member doesn’t “obey the white man’s law,” but rather “street people law.”
He then went on to accuse Cooper of having a lack of concern for Martin’s family, which prompted a quick retort from Cooper: “Well sir, actually, you have no idea what’s in my mind, or my heart, or what I’ve been reporting on….. What I‘m wandering is aren’t you just taking advantage of a situation to try and get in front of cameras and get your name out, for your group, which is tiny?”

If you ever want to get under MSNBC Host Lawrence O‘Donnell’s skin, just cancel an interview last minute and walk out. That’s allegedly what Craig Sonner, the Lawyer for Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman, did Monday night. And O‘Donnell wasn’t happy about it.
According to O’Donnell, Sonner was scheduled to be on the show, but just minutes before he was set to be on, he walked out of the studio in Orlando. O’Donnell laced into him for it:
Craig Sonner has been the first guest in the history of this particular show, to get scared, to be terrified, so terrified of coming on this show that he has literally run away. He’s in our car right now, taking him home from our studio, afraid to face the questioning he would face on this show. Watch out for wherever Craig Sonner shows up next on television, because wherever he shows up next on television has an obligation to put him through serious questioning about what he’s doing and what he knows, and the contradictions in the things he’s already said on television.
In fact, HuffPo says, O’Donnell even later switched to an empty shot of the interview chair and started questioning it:
“Who is paying you, Mr. Lawyer?”
“Does George Zimmerman have a job?”
“Did you represent him when he was arrested for assault on a police officer in 2005?”
“Your client was not injured enough to go to the hospital that night. You say he sought some sort of medical treatment the next day. Do you have those medical records that you can show us?”
Rush says that despite the New Black Panthers putting a ‘bounty’ on George Zimmerman, a private citizen, over the Trayvon Martin shooting last month, the Obama administration sits quietly as the situation escalates. Nothing is being said to calm things down from Obama Holder even though the New Black Panthers claim to have amassed a 40 person vigilante group to capture Zimmerman.
Rush says he shouldn’t be surprised as he’s predicted this kind of chaos, but still he finds it a bit stunning:
