That's just racist Eki. What you have against Wookiee's that makes you prefer small orange trolls is hard to understand! :laugh:



As for the Trayvon case, I've seen too much information leading both ways to think that we have ever heard the truth and whole truth. Hard to say how it plays out.

I am saying I don't understand why this has been made so famous, there are hundreds of homicides of every year. This murder was not even particularly awful compared to other murders (in that there was no torture involved). But we all know what the answer is to why this case is so famous - it was a white man on a black man. You have the other way murders happening every day in far bigger quantity and never does it get so much publicity. Where are Al "****" Sharpton and Jesse Jackson then? Where were those 2 racists when those two english tourists were ordered by a black man to strip down and were then shot?

But of course I think that every homicide should be taken very seriously and punished properly.

What if it had been a woman? She would have stood no chance against the men.

Hopefully justice will now be done but it can't bring the dead back to life. This case perfectly illustrates the danger of allowing the public to become judge, jury, and quite literally executioner.

Dave that is IMO profoundly true. I am a 58 year old American that has never owned a firearm, and never thought it is something I needed.

Edit: Here is the ad that poped up on the botom of this motorsport forum page after I posted this comment. :rolleyes:

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. It seems some of the media doctored some audio tapes, and all information seems to point different directions. Hopefully the courts can sort out what really happened.
