Black man in Florida shot and killed while running naked

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

Stand your ground strikes again.....

nikkaz should just go on a rampage of starting fights with cacs and shooting them so they can claim stand your ground. Let's see then how quick this law is repealed.

Yes. We should start killing people of a different skin color to show that killing people is wrong

I was wondering why this wasn't a big national story. Now I know.

Thread will now die and most will go silent since this will be seen as "normal" occurrence.

As far as the thread goes, I reached a point during the Zimmerman trial where I realized that these SYG/self-defense laws need to be reformed, even as a previous supporter of them. A lot of cases it seems that the aggressor of the situation, knowing they armed, start some shyt and use that to murder someone. There was a case I posted about a month ago in the Ladies Room where I literally scratched my head why the person who did the shooting was not being charged. It made no sense.

I think it'll go silent because it's just a black dude killing another black dude. We can't hype this story up with racism like the first posters in this thread tried to do. Even though we should be focusing on the law.

Who's "we"? white boy you're an observer in a thread like this, play your position.

We? As in homo-sapiens that are against laws that allow people to justify murder in situations where it isn't necessary? Oh hold up, were you trying to make me feel marginalized based on my skin color friend? Now that isn't very nice. You're lucky we aren't in Florida because based on the tone of your post you sound a little aggressive and I feel threatened.

It was a non-story once it was reported that the shooter offered help and the victim attacked him, this is before we knew the shooter's race. At that point its may the best man win.

interesting thread, LOL

i dont care what color the shooter is, florida is worse than arizona. we have the same self defense laws and dont pop each other this much over trivial stuff. as a matter of fact, concealed carry without a license is the law here and we are still better behaved. floridians will actually go through a state mandated gun safety course and then go shoot somebody because their nudity threatened their safety or their music was dangerously loud

You typed all that and the shooter was black.

I lost....

at the shooter being black after some of these comments

I didn't think the shooter was Black, but to be 100% honest after reading the article I didn't see anything overtly wrong about the occurrence (other than the constant use of guns/deadly force in this country ) and definitely didn't see it as a race issue.

It is weird to be running around naked at the crack of dawn. If someone pulls over and asks if everything is okay, that is normal too (although I simply would have kept it moving, perhaps only calling the cops if it was in my neighborhood). If the article's detailing of the story is true, dude was probably pissed he was literally left assed out and had to run home naked and thus could have reacted angrily just to anyone asking him anything about his situation. That would explain him grabbing the window, etc. The only weird thing is that the guy pulled a gun out and shot instead of just driving off. But then again...this is Florida

the girlfriend caught some of the footage in the car before the shooting apparently...why did the guy reach into the impala? was he on something? Bath salts?

And looking at that picture in the new story i have a feeling him and his other male friend were more than friends and were lovers

make fun of naked black man who was killed.

fukking racist.

 

[MBwithadream]

I lost....

It happens to every body

 

[GMOGMediaTV]

Wow this is some tragic shyt. My condolences go out to the victims family. Hollywood blvd is right up my alley. Hollywood beach is the shyt too. Anyhow i wonder what is going to happen if the shooter decides to use the stand your ground law.

Lets do this step by step, you ready?

Perfect! You understood your limited knowledge in the racial construct of society, I like it. Although that "just" hints at this being insignificant which makes me a little worried about your perception on BOB crime, but we'll leave that for another thread.

We can't hype this story up with racism like the first posters in this thread tried to do.

Now this is what gets me. You said you mean "we" as human beings, but then you want to show authority in deciding in what we can/can't "hype" up as racism? Who are you to even make that decision? A person of color will have a valid opinion since he can relate to the circumstances and subconsciously validates their reasoning by being reminded of their own experiences in similar circumstances, and rightfully so. This is the point where it stops being a human issue and instead solely involves the opinions of people who can relate to the victim.

"we" would never be the "we" you dream of it to be. There is no we in this society when it involves racial/ethical/socio-economic etc issues. There is no "we" and there would never be a "we" in the context of race.

Even though we should be focusing on the law.

Now this is a "we" issue since it involves the country' set of conduct which is, theoretically, as important to you as it is to me.

Do you now understand why it is laughable that someone like you would ever have the authority to say we in relation to a racial issue?

EDIT: And the pitiful attempt at being funny in the last sentence makes me realize how desperately you try to entertain people instead of understanding the importance of the issue. This is Higher Learning, come correct or
