I just saw this article and thought it might be food for thought for the "No 17 year old anywhere could possibly be a threat to me" crowd. This shining example of citizenship is being indicted for capital murder (killing Officer Molina). I've quoted the relevant part of the article.
Quote:
While Molina was talking, Gonzalez "struck the victim on the face and then grabbed his legs and threw him to the concrete. (Gonzalez) then got on top of the victim and continued to punch him in the face," the document states. Police said that Molina was knocked unconscious when his head hit the ground, and that Gonzalez continued the assault despite Molina's being unable to defend himself.
I saw this and liked it, I may have to pay attention to more of this guy's stuff. (if a repost, my apologies and talk tot he guy on the left)

I think he's got it right! This pastor is being very realistic and truthful. Not JUST black.
Awesome video from a very intelligent individual. "Grand cougar" hahahaQuote:

Might be a repost, sorry if it is.
That was very well written, Mr Ayoob sure does reiterate a lot of good points I've heard during this whole fiasco, such as:Quote:

[Beer]
Too bad so many useful idiots that think with emotion rather than reason and obviously have zero faith in our justice system won't agree with those plain and simple thoughts.
Charles Barkley agrees with George Zimmerman verdict (at the same time obama admits he would have been high and beating on anyone that "followed" him 35 years ago (paraphrasing))
Charles Barkley has never been one to shy away from controversy, and on Thursday he weighed in with his opinion on the George Zimmerman verdict.
"Well, I agree with the verdict," Barkley told CNBC. "I feel sorry that young kid got killed, but they didn't have enough evidence to charge him. Something clearly went wrong that night - clearly something went wrong - and I feel bad for anybody who loses a kid, but if you looked at the case and you don't make it - there was some racial profiling, no question about it - but something happened that changed the dynamic of that night."
Barkley added that because of the lack of evidence, he doesn't think that Zimmerman should go to jail "for the rest of his life."
"Mr. Zimmerman was wrong to pursue, he was racial profiling, but I think Trayvon Martin - God rest his soul - I think he did flip the switch and started beating the hell out of Mr. Zimmerman. But it was just a bad situation," Barkley said.
Barkley, 50, went on to express disappointment in what he perceived as racism in the media.
"I just feel bad because I don't like when race gets out in the media because I don't think the media has a "pure heart," as I call it," Barkley said. "There are very few people who have a pure heart when it comes to race. Racism is wrong in any shape [or] form - there are a lot of black people who are racist, too. I think sometimes when people talk about race, they act like only white people are racist. There are a lot of black people who are racist. And I don't like when it gets out there in the media because I don't think the media has clean hands."
This sums it all up in one sentence.
There are a lot of black people who are racist
Statement of fact- not a racially motivated opinion: ^to this... moreso than white these days.Quote:

If someone knocked me out before I felt threatened for my life, which I acknowledge anyone could do, what difference would it make if it were you, me, if you were carrying or not, or what your position was on this issue? You're not going to draw before you feel threatened for your life.
If I got in a fight with a lone unarmed 17 year old, or most people, I wouldn't immediately draw my firearm because I wouldn't be afraid for my life. How does my position differ from yours? How does my position differ from George Zimmerman's? Are you saying that you'd draw your weapon and use it to avoid any fist fight/scuffle with any person? I assume that's what you're saying. If not, what are you saying?
What a pussified country we live in. Half the guys on this forum wouldn't help a woman being killed outside their own door, and the other half are afraid for their life in a little fist fight.
^ don't forget he also cried when folks don't want to resell their groupbuy ammo LOL... what a drama queen.. now its woman being "killed."
Anyway, Brad Thor gave a great interview on Zimmerman's 2nd amendment right while promoting his book... Watch the video.

This is what happened to Molina, didn't feel threatened enough to draw, sucker punched (lights out), mounted and beat to death while out.Quote:

This is just one OLD guy's worthless uncalled for thought. [blaster]

In your post your said
And then followed it withQuote:

Officer Molina was, based on news stories (I know, I know), sucker punched hard enough that he didn't(couldn't?) protect his head when he was taken to the ground. The impact on the ground knocked him senseless enough that he was beaten to death....by a 17 year old.Quote:

I love earned confidence (even bordering on arrogance). Most of the guys I work with exhibit the same trait. That kind of confidence mostly comes from having been through enough that you have intimate knowledge of how you're going to react, body and mind, to a similar situation.
Blowing off an unknown factor as someone that "isn't anything to be worried about" based on your level of training is arrogance bordering on ignorance. Murphy is always a factor.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST STATEMENTS MADE THAT IS BEING COMPLETELY IGNORED, NOW AND THEN.Quote:

As for a 17 yr old being a threat or not. Perhaps a few of you would like to tag along as we ride the subway around NY, OR Chi-town. Take a stroll through parts of Fresno, Norlins, Inner harbor area of BMO. Until you come in contact with a serious threat, you have no idea.

Jim mentioned take a stroll through Fresno. We were just through there a couple years ago and couldn't believe the number of folks living UNDER the bridges on a main highway.
I would venture to guess that you haven't been under I-25 from about 6th. ave. north to about I-76 or under I-70 from Wadsworth east to about Quebec lately.Quote:
