Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! It's open season on young black men
It certainly is. I'm speechless, I just want to crawl under a rock and hide.

(2,237 posts)So, in just a few years Florida has had two high profile murders, Casey Anthony, and George Zimmerman, and found them both not guilty.
Another reason I won't be moving to Florida, I want justice if I get murdered.

I believed in justice but now I have to find hope elsewhere....civil case and such.... maybe just hang onto the knowledge Georgie will have no peace.
Crap...I still am in shock that the red necks in my neighborhood are setting off firework!

(12,448 posts)Not to make your night any worse, but this murdering piece of shit is going to get all the fame and fortune his feeble mind could have ever imagined. He is going to be made a hero.

(12,408 posts)honeymoon will last. Zimmerman's is a natural ass hole....so hope its a brief romance and Zimmy gets to be old news for them. He will easily grow to be problematic.

(12,448 posts)the cusp of this nation's most critical junction since the Civil war.
As a small child I grew up in a nation of hope and opportunity. Watching man set foot on the moon is one of my very earliest memories. As a teenager, I saw this nation make a specific, deliberate choice to turn its back on the future and embrace a fantasy created by the most bankrupt, evil men on earth, and here's the most important part, I saw tens of millions of people that absolutely knew full well that what was being done was pure evil, and they went along with it for the chance that they could get rich along the way. They sold their souls and our future for a BMW and a 3-piece suit. They turned their backs on their fellow human beings and ignored their suffering and deprivation.
Since then I have watched this nation literally disintegrate, while most of those around me developed the capacity to purposely blind themselves to what was happening all around them.
It permeates this site and DU is, believe it or not, better than the overall reality. Small, mean, minds that take a perverse pleasure in making everything that they can influence, worse.
The racism, bigotry, the NRA, all that you mentioned and much more are merely symptoms of the underlying cancer that is consuming us all. America is the embodiment of evil in the world today.

(12,448 posts)been a state. The Marx Brothers made film in the '30s wherein one of the central themes was the numerous real estate scams that the state's laws allow. Corrupt and backward, the installation of the shrub in the White House was only one of Floriduh's contributions to the degradation of America.
