Thanks Edward for warning us that you are a dangerous Black man.
Pretty much.

So EdwardA is basically saying that the fact that he has black skin means that we should all just assume that he is "up to no good" no matter what he is doing....

So if he is opening his car door, we should assume that he is stealing it or carjacking someone

If he is walking into his house, we should assume that he is a burglar or doing a home invasion robbery

If he is shopping for groceries, we should assume that he is either shoplifting or getting ready to rob the store.

So, EdwardA in all of his Blackness is just a walking target, huh. Fascinating. And he was kind enough to warn us that his black skin means that he has a tendency toward violence. Its nature not nurture. Fascinating.

The anonymity of the Internet is something else is all I am going to say.

Give it a rest and everyone take a lesson from it.

They can't or won't. Logic simply is not their friend.

Your logic is faulty but carry on.

It probably was so what's the point?

The attorney representing Trayvon Martin's parents said Wednesday a medical report detailing injuries sustained by the man who said he shot Trayvon was leaked to bolster his claims of self-defense.

Lawyer Benjamin Crump said he has not seen the medical report but questions who leaked the information and why.

"It was leaked for a beneficial purpose," he said, "certainly to help George Zimmerman's claim of self-defense."

You are advocating taking away an individual's right to self defense and using your own anti gun stance to push an agenda. Please review the facts of this case that have now come out including the autopsy report showing that Martin had injuries to his knuckles and Zimmerman's medical report showing two black eyes, broken noise, cuts to the back of the head.


and a dead kid!
