    Ok from the media circus 'racism' perspective you are correct.
    I was just wondering if it had any relevance on the legal proceedings.

    #1 It would have relevance if they tried to turn it into a "hate" crime. Hate crime is a stupid idea IMO.

    #2 They could use it to show that Zimmerman had a valid reason to be suspicious of Travon.

    Like Crotalus said, it's about motive. If he can be painted to have racial motivations then it can be argued that race was the cause of the shooting and not in self defense, otherwise the self defense argument is more believable.

    This is where the media, sadly, really affected the case. NBC played the emergency call without context which certainly made it seem like he had racial motivations, but in the unedited version you can see that Zimmerman was answering a direct question from the emergency dispatcher.

    I'm sorry but this topic is not appropriate for SRP. We are about shaving, etc. NOT this topic.

    Dear Member:

    Being as you are pretty new, you might not realize that the Conversation Forum (this one) is NOT about shaving only it is here for gentlemen to discuss (almost) whatever we feel we want to..


    Nothing says you have to

    Thank You
    Glen Senior Mod SRP


    Now back to the topic

    I'm sorry, but it is not up to you to determine what is appropriate for SRP.

    I realize that we are different in this than other forums, but up here we mange to get along and be polite to each other despite differences in political, religious, or other opinions. We are a gentleman's forum after all, and we can talk about pretty much everything without getting overly exited and insulting each other.

    I hope to God that I never get banned from SRP; it's the only time in my life that I have ever been referred to as a Gentleman.
