I noticed that they incorrectly placed a Roman soldier in there, but otherwise it was the best painting I found that made my point. BTW, have you ever read any of the Casca series by the late Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler, and if so, did they amuse or infuriate you?

Here’s the thing though: They’re not the masses! Blacks make up, at best, 12% of the population of the United States. How in the world does such a small minority dictate anything to the majority? My late father’s generation wouldn’t have knuckled under to this nonsense, nor any before that. Why do we? We haven’t been disarmed! We are the largest army on the face of the Earth!

My late father had just retired from the Marines and was working a construction job in Watts when it all started. Said it was the worst situation he’d ever been in. He was in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War!

Zim should plead guilty to littering for failure to police his brass.

I believe I read his brass was still chambered. That's been cited as evidence two guys were fighting over the weapon, interfering with its cartridge ejection mechanism.

interesting.

so the rumors are:

brass was still in the gun (assuming an automatic)
the shot entered from below and traveled at an angle up and out the upper back.
the fight happened in the back of houses
the person shot staggered to the back of houses
it was not raining
it was raining

this mob conclusion is as clear as mud.

No, I hadn't heard of that series. Wasn't Barry Sadler the guy who wrote "Ballad of the Green Berets"?

We are still the majority for a while. If we're ever going to act in concert, it needs to be soon.

That holds true for a wide range of cultural issues: time is running out.

How in the world does such a small minority dictate anything to the majority?

By controlling fungible, swingable, corruptible boxes in the biggest cities, and a 95% straight-ticket voting bloc. For how that works, metasearch on "Richard Daley", "Sam Giancana", and "Chicago 1960".

Power, man. Like Stalin said -- it's who counts the votes.

They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-White. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

True, but will a majority of Whites publicly acknowledge that before they become a disempowered minority?

if you appease them, they’ll just demand more.

Ever see the movie "Judgment Night"?

Remember what happened to the Ray Cochran (played by Jeremy Piven) character?

“By controlling fungible, swingable, corruptible boxes in the biggest cities”

Sorry for my iggernunce, but I don’t know what you mean by “boxes.”

“metasearch”

Is it ok to try that at home?

“Like Stalin said — it’s who counts the votes.”

Crucial. We should all be trying to light a fire under our local RINOs to implement effective poll-watching procedures. Which is to say, democrat thwarting procedures.

Oh, I understands .... but "ignert" (how we say it in Texuss) don't cut it in life.

"Boxes" = ballot boxes. "Metasearch" is to search using an engine that engages multiple search bots, like Dogpile (Ask.com, Google, Yahoo!, others) -- instead of a single bot like Bing! or Hotbot or Lycos Search.

THAT was my point: I was being sarcastic. Convicting a man who is innocent to stop a riot may make sense to leftists, but for Christians, putting a utilitarian reason as more important than a person’s life is blasphemy.

“True, but will a majority of Whites publicly acknowledge that before they become a disempowered minority?”

As Samuel Adams said, “…it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds…”

Hey MrB, I believe in what you are saying. It is time to cut this nonsense out and let the fools get violent. This rioting will not last long, and America can get back on course, after we dump the marxist in chief in Nov..

So what would a fair outcome look like? To my mind, the government offers Zimmerman a plea deal that has him back on the street within this decade, and he accepts it quietly. That seems like a conclusion most reasonable Americans could live with. Of course, no matter how long or short any sentence may be, there will be those who disagree, some vehemently.


Okay. We will let you have zimmerman’s skin for a decade in exchange for 1000 innocent black skinned men who were involved in churning up the hate and responsible to the lynching of innocent whites across the Nation getting even for Trayvon. Sounds “fair” to me in the context of this racist’s deal making.

February 26 is almost two months ago. Since Trayvon's death, probably 1000 or more black Americans have been killed by other black Americans, but no one is worked up over those victims...only about this one case because Zimmerman was originally reported as "white."

With the facts as they appear to be, if Zimmerman had any African ancestry, this guy would not be calling for him to spend the better part of 10 years in prison for defending himself. It's just that he is a "white-Hispanic" and therefore should be locked up.
