I think the laws in non SYG or castle states are designed with the basic tenet that Property < Life. For example, the way I understand it, if someone breaks into your home, and you have kids, ect, and no way to safely make sure they are ok, then blast away. BUt I think the idea was they...

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/17/us/17census.html?_r=0 Reading into it I'd say the reason is pretty simple. Historically another time when single mother homes were the drastically elevated in the lower classes (economically) were in France before the French Revolution and in the US after...

Just one thing as an addendum to the last post. There has been a shift and more and more black homes are 2 parent. This, while maybe glacially slow to significantly impact trends, will, if it continues go a long way to fixing the problems for young black males over the course of a couple...

Lemme take a stab here at what's fucking up the black community, specifically. Adolescent boys are by and large "pack animals". Peer pressure, role modeling ect play a huge role because no matter what the race, a 16 year olds primary objective is to get laid. Boys fear standing out. They...

It doesn't just stop with crime statistics. Look at the achievement gap, why are male black students (female African Americans are doing far better academically btw than males), scoring some 20-25 points lower than white students from the same economic background, from the same schools from...

The flip side of this that the victims of these crimes coincide in equal numbers.

Ill accept the assertion that a large portion of black people in the US are in generational failure. What are your ideas for as why?

This my entire point and all I ever really have been trying to say. I think that should equate to some liability. Not jail time, not life in prison, but he should be held accountable, legally for his mistakes when they result in a death. Just like anyone.

Are "at home" and "almost at home" the same thing?

Sticks and concrete slabs, counselor. It makes sense to me now. Narrative of the Mind of Trayvonn Martin "Verily, I have just narrowly escaped from the creepy cracker that was following me! Huzzah! But he was following me why? Was it because im Erudian? That villain! I cannot let...

The best weapon he could find in his home for assaulting someone was a concrete slab? Ok, sounds legit.

Maybe someone can explain why GZ wasn't using poor judgement in what he did. And if you can't maybe you can then explain to me why poor judgement doesnt equate to liability. And you can't do that, maybe you explain to me why a law that prevents that where a persons life is lost isnt a shitty...

Thats such bullshit. He wasnt defending anyone. He had no good reason for following him. He reported it, he called the police. Cool, wait. Was he trained to subdue people or in the use of deadly force? No, then what the fuck was he doing? He made stupid choices which created the...

What facts have I invented? I didnt know the details of this case as well as many of you, and I've admitted when I had details wrong. but Di Maio is not above skepticism. He wouldnt have been hired and put on the stand if his testimony was not pre-vetted. And, in my most cynical view, Im...

Im saying things you disagree with and are getting upset with. Justify it any way you want, and ban me if you want. I dont care, and you prove my point. Ive obviously been entertaining enough for you to waste your morning, so /shrug. Ive insulted nobody, engaged in no Ad Homs, and simply...

Im a fucking idiot for not having a Florida law degree? I guess you learned about civil suit immunity in the state of Florida watching cable TV. How about Federal Civil Court? Did Greta mention anything about immunity there?

You don't have to respond dude. Do what I do when a thread or poster bores of disintrests me.. Move the fuck on. You guys are getting comically upset like someone is forcing you to engage in it. Jimmies being rustled indeed. The points that interest me in this debate are not the...

Breathe deep.. Read this http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/12/11...ive.simpson10/ Cmon dude.. Is it so far out there to be skeptical? And what you said is completely unfair and nonsense. If I said "You just love guns and you hate Trayvon Martin, regardless of the truth" What would...

Compelling argument.

Which is exactly why the laws defining it shouldn't be as watered down as they are in Florida.

http://www.bermudasun.bm/Content/NEW...a/24/270/68141 Yeah.. Valerie Rao is incompetent that she is flown all over the country on some of the highest profile cases.. And please.. The great Dr. Di Mao.. (Whom none of you have every fucking heard of before this trial)... I place SUCH...

Never said that. I simply said that everyone should have the same burden for their accusations. And everyone should have the same protections in their defense. Lol, I love how worked up you guys get. Really.. calm down a bit.

Exactly my point. The trial became not one of what Zimmerman did and his actions beyond a reasonable doubt, but of Martins. Martin was put on trial with a lower standard of proof from the defense on its accusations than the state had on Zimmerman. Do I think he should have been guilty of...

Really.. the paid witness for the defense said that? Shocking...

You dont believe in burden of proof? If you are accused of Murder, its on the state to prove that you murdered someone, not that the bitch didnt have it coming.

Wait what? Who says Trayvon hit Zimmerman with a brick? Who has the responsibility to prove that happened? Oh.. nobody. Its enough to say it may have happened... or not. There isnt enough evidence for the State of Florida to convict Trayvon Martin of assault... but there is enough to get...

If you kill someone, the burden is on the state to prove that you are guilty of what they say. The self defense laws are fucking stupid. Should we put the same burden on the state for claims of Temporary Insanity? In these 24 states, when you make a claim of self defense, you make a...

I'm advocating people with guns having consequences when they act irresponsibly. Or to put it differently, People with guns should control themselves. Carry a gun if you want.. but stupid laws make it the go-to response to any argument with a stranger. Its like watching Homer Simpson...

incorrect. 24/50 states.

No, but there is a natural arms race that occurs between human. With more people armed, more simple social disagreements or misunderstandings are going to end with people dying, where 50 years ago people would have walked away. I dont want people beating each other or physical violence to...

So if someone is threatening you, your only viable options are: you need to either wait to be attacked, or respond in with deadly force? IDK, I kind of prefer the world in which if you go out and act like an asshole, you can possibly get your ass kicked. Now a license to carry a concealed...

Much of the public support for Zimmerman has been from the fact that Martin was black. Thats a fact. If it was Natalie Holloways well preserved Zombie walking through the neighborhood, would Zimmerman have shot her? Would there have been support for Zimmerman? HOW DARE HE SHOOT THAT POOR...

Ok. Yep, didnt read this thread, or watch even one second of trial, switched the channel when talking heads were going on about and ignored any facebook posting I saw of it. Guilty. But, after going back and reading, the problem is still the same. Shitty Florida laws created to pander to...

The problem wasnt Zimmerman, or Martin, or the Jury. The problem is a shitty "Stand Your Ground" law. Zimmerman was told to stay in his car. He got out because he had a gun. Martin felt threatened. Saw a short fat white guy following him to his house and attacked him. Zimmerman killed...

Evac was such an awesome spell.

Isnt that what Jesus said?

No downtime (regen) means you are essentially chained to your keyboard the entire time you are playing. No downtime means groups become more intensive, and less friendly. Its no social all kill. Talk after the dungeon. Some like that. Some dont. On a side note: Things I liked about...
