he's going to come in shooting

no race-related RM thread is complete without unsettling contributions from broken iris

Did you know Trayvon, Alex?

no, but i PMed orpheus once

How did that turn out?

let's just say it's refreshing to share PMs with a poster who can nail the execution of a wu-tang reference

So... according to witnesses (who apparently only recently came forward) Zimmerman was on the ground crying for help just before Trayvon was shot.

Poor, innocent, cherubic Trayvon.

Not saying that he deserved to die, but is anyone suprised that the way his family has been trying to portray him doesn't seem to agree with the facts?

I am pretty sure that this is national news mostly because the Brady campaign et al want some sort of example of how Florida's laws are irresponsible. This incident doesn't seem to apply. Better luck next time, Brady.

I didn't even care enough to google it, bro.

if you pass up the chance to peruse ODB's wikipedia page... that's on you, pal

Level...8?

I'll do it for Travyon, I guess.

you are veering toward the very sort of pathos thodoks was undoubtedly hoping to avoid

Maybe i'm just trying to spite him.

you'll regret that when you are flanked by simple schoolboy, dkfan9, broken iris, and bmacsmith

Well I don't want that in my biography.

ok, do you think that we've derailed this thread yet because i have to log off soon

We've definitely derailed it. I'm just not sure we've finished derailing it. But I am willing to walk away at this point.
