That's right, but the manufacturers don't want you to believe that. Neither do places like CTD. I still have a scab on my butt from what I allowed them to do to me in '08.

I agree. Just like people don't like to look back at Bush don't look back to 1998 or 2008 to attempt to get people on the crazy train. Obama is a terrible president, but he hasn't done anything to show that he is after my weapons stash. After I renewed my NRA membership in january I have received more calls from them attempting to freak me out and make more donations to stop gun seizures. I spent a small mint on guns and ammo in '08. I won't be sucked into doing again this year. I'll wait and buy from others who buy/pay too much this time around.

The tall skinny kid could have been a ass just like most other teens. I simply want to know if he was violating any laws before Zimmerman pursued him. Who was actually yelling for help (depending on who you listen to it could have been either of them) and who would not fight some weido chasing you around the neighborhood? This kid was on a five day suspension, but it was for being tardy according to his english teacher. It was not for being a trouble maker. Is this the kid or some random picture being passed out by Zimmerman supporters? I agree with what 6.8 keeps saying. This will get worse before it gets better.

If Dr. King were alive today he would have to amend his statement to say "Judge man by the content of his character, not by the color of his skin, speech or dress". As far as Jackson and Sharpton, they should shut up unless they are going to hold a rally everytime a black kid kills another black kid.

Well said sir. Blaming the hoodie is the same as saying that you raped a woman because she was dressed sexy. The racist on here need to understand that it's ok to not like minorities, but don't hide behind the shield of not liking them because of the way that they may speak or dress. If you are of that ilk you wouldn't like them if they all wore Brooks Bros. suits and spoke perfect english.

You got that right.

You have some nice little friends. Sweet!

I've said what I have to say. I will wait on the nations savior to be elected in november.

But it's so much more fun to pretend that Washington only became a cesspool in the last four years.

Yeah, racism and politics pay very well.

If the kid was not doing anything at the time that Zimmerman decided that he did not want him in his AO it does not matter what he may or may not have done in his past. At the time he was walking back to a residence and eating candy. Maybe he threw his candy wrapper on the ground and that set Zimmerman off. Based upon the 911 calls that the shooter made in the past it was only a matter of time before this happened. He was hunting.

News 3 is reporting that a Joiner,AR man pulled a gun on April Thompson while she was attempting to report on the suspicious death of a elderly man. I just saw the video. He pulls the gun from his truck and walks toward the reporter and cameraman in a threatening manner. The sheriff has the video and the suspect is on the run.

I'll second that.

I saw your interview. Lead story. Good job.

I saw that on the news earllier today. It was just a matter of time before he flipped out on someone.

You sure can. Read the manual. My wife would freak everytime that she would drive my sons suv and the doors unlocked when she put it in park.

Good point. I know that here in Memphis none of our crime is commited by bad people. They were all good boys according to momma, but this shooting does not sound like that's the case. I hope that I am wrong. This will be tragic for everyone.

I heard that same tape this morning. Sounds ugly for the shooter.

I agree, but we would have been able to meet him the the appropriate amount of force necessary to still be breathing today.

So, we must assume the shooter committed no crime while also assuming that the teen did do something out of order simply because he is dead. Neighbors claim to have heard the boy screaming for help. On one 911 call while the neighbor is talking you can hear the boy screaming for help in the background before you hear the shot. As for race. It is not important the kids or the shooters color. I am certain that losing a child rips the heart right out of a parents chest regardless their color. My only issue with this mess is that the shooter never said that the kid was doing anything wrong. The shooter never mentioned that the kid approached him or anyones private property. I would hope that any young man would disengage as much as possible if he is being approached by a weirdo. I would also want that young man to defend himself if he were cornered by that same weirdo. Unfortunately it sounds like a parent would lose a son because some d*ck with a gun decides that he wants to be judge, jury and executioner. Hopefully when we get the facts the shooter turns out to be a neighborhood hero that prevented a home invasion or mass killing.

Lucky and blessed. It's tough being a black teen eating skittles, wearing a hoodie and minding your business.

I don't know about the shooters guilt or innocence, but that audio sure makes it sound like he was looking for trouble.

They were in a gated community according to news reports.

Good post
