think this isn't a bad video if you had to choose one part of the defense's argument (haven't seen further than this point so far) | ||

Enjoyed 12 angry men again. The acting style is obviously dated but it's a good story and highlights many of the good and bad features of our delightful jury system. Thanks for the link, it made the last 1h30m of work go by swiftly! | ||

Wow..I can say some offensive shit from time to time, but this guy didnt even bother to masquerade it lol. -_- I have the feeling that there will be a verdict tomorrow. Im sure that the majority of them feel the same, but want to go over the details to persuade the rest. | ||

In the OJ trial the jury came back after one day and were widely criticized because such an important cause should take more consideration time. Thats why the jury will very likely take their time even when they are sure of their verdict. -> no verdict this weekend -> dont draw conclusions from the jury taking long | ||

The banned post's writer reflects that part of the United States a few of us have referred to, where seemingly decent normal individuals actually are complete racist bigots to an obscene degree and had they not just come out and just said it you would of never known. | ||

How do you know he is from the States? You do see his location says UK right? | ||

Or e would be racist to Koreans. Looks like an attempt at satire that completely backfired. | ||

Not saying he's from the states just that type of person is out there( and it would surprise you who they are) or more accurately poster where you have hundreds of posts with little to no posts that would come anywhere close to that level of racism and bigotry. Then Bam! Says something showing him as currently irredeemably racist or so childish and petty I would say something so offensive "for the lol's" Just a random example of how you never really know what kind of things someone could be thinking before they say or do something. Not to mention helps you understand what kind of person Trayvon likely thought was following him. | ||

Just because in the end, they make the final decision to where Zimmerman is guilty or not. Even if we say that he's guilty/not guilty based on the evidence, it won't do much in the end. | ||

The religious belief that America in particular and Western society in general is chock full of secret and/or unconscious racism bubbling just under the surface is a matter of faith and as such unfortunately is not up for fact-based debate. You find someone who believes it and it is very unlikely that any amount of evidence will change that dogma. And it results in silly posts like that quoted. | ||
