I'm sure you blokes can think of something far better to call them. Our words are pitiful in comparison.

What a nice parent Trayvon must have to sign a waiver to get some tattoos :{D
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

I'm pretty sure plenty of people of all ages have tattoos by age 17.

It's rather ironic that someone raised as a racist should criticise somebody else's upbringing.

So 5 year olds would have tattoos by the time they're 17? Does that mean we're all tattooed?

Was Tyrannical raised as a racist or is it all his own work? :ask:

I'm an honest law abiding citizen and that is how I was raised. If Trayvon was raised like that, he'd still be alive.

I'm sure he was just out for a stroll at night, in a gated community in which he didn't live, walking between houses on people's lawns, especially given his prior expulsion from school for being caught with burglary tools and a bag full of women's jewelry.

I can't imagine his own family members selectively enhancing or omitting certain details about the little tyke, either.

No Limit N!gga was a sweet, innocent, dear child, just out for some skittles, returning home to spend the middle of the night with his father's fiance, meandering about private property.

Probably had a game of Scrabble lined up...

I'm thinking the "innocent until proven guilty" concept should be applied to Martin as well as to Zimmerman.

Okay, poorly phrased - though I wouldn't be surprised if some people do get tattoos by age 5, these days.

I agree. However, that has stopped very few people from opining on what Zimmerman might have been up to.

It's fuckin obvious to anyone with a brain what Zimmerman was up to.
He's a so-called "captain" of a neighbourhood watch, he's phoned in 46 reports in a month, he's going around with a gun, he's ignored the operator who told him not to follow the kid.

He told the operator the kid was black. He said "these assholes always get away".
So he sees him as a black asshole.

He's a typical US gun nut, just dying to shoot something or someone. He got what he wanted.

If you can't see that, you just ain't got a brain.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.
