George Zimmerman


Guest TRAGEDY

Recommended Posts

Why doesn't this c*nt just disappear. Keep his head down and live his life quietly somewhere.

 

Because his an attention whore with a puffed up ego.

 

His constant need for attention and authority  will be his downfall though. I bet you he'll die in a shootout with another fellow gun nut.

because of it represents - having something on display doesn't necessarily mean you're celebrating it, it can mean you're acknowledging its historical significance

there's plenty of museums with displays from slavery, wars, the holocaust, etc, because its important to remember these things

seriously you don't know what was significant? I guess you would question the same for Michael Brown's death? (which caused all the shit in Ferguson)

yes it seems like these things happen a lot but these particular incidents are real sparks to real tension, they've made people more aware of shit

Following Martin's death, rallies, marches and protests were held across the nation. In March 2012, hundreds of students at his high school held a walkout in support of him. An online petition calling for a full investigation and prosecution of Zimmerman garnered 2.2 million signatures. The media coverage surrounding Martin's death was greater than that of the2012 presidential race, which was underway at the time. A national debate about racial profiling and stand your ground laws ensued, and the governor of Florida appointed a task force to examine the state's self-defense laws. Martin's life was scrutinized by the media and bloggers who examined the digital footprint he had left behind. On social media, the name "Trayvon" was tweeted (mentioned in posts to Twitter web feeds by users of the service) more than two million times in the 30 days following the shooting.

it marks a time of real injustice felt by the masses, where movement happened because of such outrage

if its not part of modern Western history then what would be?

no one's arguing about OJs glove, of course it holds purpose
