Media sure has made a feeding frenzy out of this one.....

[Psychotic Bovine]

And in other news, Spike Lee, Moron Extraordinaire, tweeted the address of Zimmerman.  Yeah, except it was the address of an elderly couple who had nothing to do with the case.  They were forced from their house to a hotel in fear of their safety.
My opinion?  One of their sons should have shown up at the house with an AR-15 and showed them what "stand your ground" really means to the mob.

And another thing:  I really really really think the media is intentionally fanning the flames to induce riots.  Riots make good news, which make good ratings, which makes good $$$ for the networks.

And diverts the population from what else is going on. Not that the masses don't have enough distraction with Final Four and other crap on TV.

There is not a doubt about it. Somebody finally printed a current picture of the kid who was shot too. They were publicly and immediately accused of racism. Wonder why the media likes the pic of him as little kid better?

Paranoia is just a heightened sense of awareness…
However, the fact that you are paranoid does not mean they are not out there lookin’ for you.  ???

I rather believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons…
It all exists, even if it's in your mind. 
Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now? 

"I am out of my mind, but I'll be right back."

With people stirring the pot like Al, Jesse, and the New Black Panthers and the media feeding on every word, I can say we have a ligitimate concern, not paranoia! The NBP already said they ARE the military and they are not citizens of this country and want their own country. So even without Trayvon, I think we have concern! BTW, isn't it against the law to put a $10,000 bounty on the guy's head?  I see you're in S. Cal., LA? If you're old enough you should know all about riots and idiots burning down and looting their own town!

I agree Big T.......This government we have here isint afraid to take radical steps and when someone calls them out they get attacked for being racist or paranoid or an extremist.

Because of the mere possibility of this great law (stand your ground and the Fl castle law) being repealed Judy and I have made an appointment with the Agg department to get our CCW for the first time.

Chris, I would do it ASAP bc I'm sure you're not the only one thinking that,, I know I would be. They already are crying to repeal the SYG law here since that happened in Florida.

It's amazing how people percieve racism. When I first hear that word- I think Black Panthers, AL Sharton, and Old Jesse!

Hello folks;
I love you too...  You might want to read my post again. As Mitt Romney would say, "I mispoke!" 
I'm just sayin... I do slightly sense general paranoia about defending ourselves with guns and ammo when "they" start coming after us." 
Humm... it might be just me reading into it. But, it does seem to compete with Valkyries as a prevalent theme in our discussions.  But then again, what do I know.

Notwithstanding, whether you individually are motivated by paranoia, by racism, by the impending end of the status Quo... or by killin' before been killed,
I would not judge your motivations.  You have the right to be pissed at whatever is it that pisses you... whether Obama, your mother in law or
the dude that just cut you off while on his cell phone.

In truth, even if you are not  paranoid... death's still coming after you...   ???

Yes, I live in a dangerous city. I have experienced two armed hold ups, six stolen cars, two home burglaries; and a major beating since 1974.   
Yet, I have never felt the need to arm myself. I take life as it comes. I am aware of my mortality. 

Indeed, life is a dangerous business. You can croak w/o warning or you can predictably choke on a chicken bone.
If death by a chicken bone, I wonder how embarrassing the content of  ones eulogy would be. 

As you are reading, this moment evolves towards everyone's slow decomposition process, then you die. 
DEATH is for sure the ultimate expression of (pun intended), "standing your ground." She is the ultimate equalizer.   

RIDE SAFE BUT DAMN IT, RIDE!

Very well written! Yes I am concerned about the impending end of the status Quo since that affects me. 

Yes I know death is coming after  me, I just don't want to speed it up!   But I'm not afraid to die either bc I  know where I'm headed! 

You must really love LA to endure beatings, armed robbery, car theft (6) -home burglaries!! 

Wouldn't that pun be "laying your ground"? They won't allow us to stand!

Pretty funny about the chicken bone, that would be embarassing ...if you knew about it!!

About Valkyries, Yes I'm thinking about riding down on my VALKYRIE to Sanford to get a handle on what's going on!

It wasn't bad when i worked out there for a while. It was pretty laid back I thought, but then again that was just a few months.

If it is repealed, you still have a right to defend yourself. Just make sure you have no means of egress.

You are right about L. A. It's like Baghdad without the enthusiasm! 

if u put "mexico" license plates on your vehicle u can break any traffic law u want. LA law enforcement stated a wk ago in the news that they will not waste thier time pulling them over and giving tickets, since there is no way to enforce payment of the tickets.

Now that right there is one sad commentary! Ummm, now  isn't that racism?? They know if they can make it back to their border, they don't have to answer to murder much less a traffic ticket!

========================================================

As a "person of color," I am not one to see racism in everything. Whenever directed at me, I choose to "be big about it"
and gloss over it within reason, of course.   That's not to say that it does not embarrass me.  

When you consider it; he / she who hates experiences much pain.
Hatred of any kind, for any "reason" is not good for the heart, neither for the spirit. Especially if one can't get over it.  

It is though work developing tolerance for ambiguity; and tolerance for events that invade our comfort zone. But, it can be achieved.  
That is the nature of change. Whether one resists it, change will happen and "old ideas" loose relevance.
Some would be left behind, myself included. ???

One trick to deal with emotional issues, is taking control of events before the event takes control of your emotions.  
He who screams and/or begins the name calling, generally looses the argument.

As Vince Lombardi once said, "...It is not whether you win or loose, it's how you look playing the game."  

Notwithstanding the above, every time I go out, w/o fail I do brake some traffic law. Yes, I've been ticketed a lot.
However, since am supposed to be a Socialist, I gladly pay the fines for the good of society.

Very well said. No believe it or not I am not a racist as probably some may think. You are correct, one can not harbor hatred or it will eat away like a cancer.

I just want justice for all and no more. If Zimmerman killed someone in cold blood, he needs to punished to the fullest. But he does need a trial by jury, not AL, Jesse, and the NBP calling for his head and being both judge and executioner. Yes those people are racist, like the KKK on the flip side which brings me to another point- if the KKK just made their presence known, much less putting a ONE MILLION dollar bounty on the guys head, it would be another Waco, Ruby Ridge, etc!

Bottom line is I'm just tired of seeing a double standard for anyone. About traffic tickets, who doesn't get them? I've been lucky so far but am not gonna brag!  Lol!
