(68,644 posts)So it's a dark night, a 6-foot-2-inch hoodie-wearing stranger is in the immediate housing complex.
How would the ladies of that jury have reacted?
I submit that if they were armed, they would have shot and killed Trayvon Martin a lot sooner than George Zimmerman did.
This is self-defense."

(1,799 posts)There's zero proof Trayvon attacked Zimmerman.
Trayvon was not wearing gang clothes.
Trayvon was the one attacked by a stranger and that's why it wasn't self-defense.
Anyway, enjoy your stay at DU.

(15,189 posts)A hoodie is gang clothes. Jerry is never right. GZ wasn't attacked, he was the attacker. I'm sure the 6 women of jury feel real manly when they strap on their guns, and go out looking for someone to shoot.
And you're right, you should be able to protect yourself even if someone is wearing gang clothes, but in today's world, that gang wears blue and carry a badge.

(21,691 posts)When I lived at my last apartment, a complex that experienced a good number of burglaries, I can't tell you how many teens - especially non-white teens - I shot, especially on rainy nights (in California, that's practically every night October through February). Knock on my door selling magazines? Yeah, I know it's a scam so BLAM!! So much easier than not answering the door!
Now if it were Geraldo in my neighborhood, that's a different kettle of fish.

(65,616 posts)It seems the M$M is all about hiring people that are unqualified to pick up dog shit in the park. So they make perfect commentators on these daily dog shit shows.

(4,713 posts)that guy doesn't know shit about this jury, personally I think it's a good thing that it's a majority of women bc most likely they have either sons, nephews, or grandsons & hopefully will recognize that Treyvon was just a normal teenage boy. In this day & age the way he was dressed is a moot point. I really hate this stereotypical bs.
