I don't care about punishment, but there should be a stipulation that if you shoot someone unarmed without witnesses, yeah, you can claim self-defense, but you're too much of an irresponsible a-hole to be carrying weapons around in public. Posts like this are why it was absolutely necessary that Zimmerman be acquitted, to teach people like you that no you can't just make your sullen teenage retribution fantasies an accepted reality in a free country. | ||

Give me a fucking break. People like you are the ones who are 'creepy'. | ||

African-American is a term related to race, not nationality. I don't get why we don't just call them Africans. Because they're not necessarily Africans. Also we call "Indians" (Assuming you're referring to Native Americans) Native Americans, and actually Asian American is a thing. | ||

The black people from haiti, dominican republic, trinidad etc might stop you from calling them african. Also on topic, west's comment was really lovely there, felt like he meant it. | ||

Meanwhile last year in Florida a black woman gets 20 years for firing a warning shot at her estranged husband who was violating his restraining order. | ||

I'm not upset, I'm just pointing out something I think is an inconsistency, in response to another user's post. I didn't mean to make you foam at the mouth. | ||
