Is Zimmerman a Hispanic name?

[Bo-4]

Nope.. seems a little dishonest of George's German Pappy to say so (not that it would make him any less guilty).

Orlando Sentinel reporter Rene Stutzman has been closely following the case and had an exclusive interview with Robert Zimmerman. Stutzman tells DCentric that George Zimmerman’s father is white and his mother is Hispanic.

In the end, no matter how many debates about race this case spurs, one thing won’t change: a teenager who was carrying little more than a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea is dead.

*Wiki: Zimmerman derives from the German last name Zimmermann which means carpenter. Within the United States, it is ranked as the 441st-most common surname

I'm hoping some good will come of this, although nothing will bring Trayvon Martin back. But there needs to be some serious scrutiny on the Florida Police Department that did not see fit to arrest this man, who shot a fleeing, unarmed teenager who screamed for help and probably weighed all of 140 pounds.

 

[Corruptbuddha]

So your point?

Again...it seems that the loss of this young man's life means nothing compared to the race of the killer.

Typical liberal racialist.

he lost his life because OF THE RACE OF THE KILLER

They'd better, and they'd also better fix that dumb Stand Your Ground law which ranks right up there with forced ultrasounds and Citizen's United for abject stupidity.

Btw, love the avatar Patrick!

 

[Corruptbuddha]

No, he didn't.

He lost his life because of the racism of the killer. (if it went down like the family claims)

If the shooter is right, there was NO racism.

Fact is, we'll have to wait and see.

You post is merely trying to 'gotcha' the white man so you can buttress the absurd claim that all whites are racists.

Try again.

Just trying to keep the dialog honest CB.. clearly his Dad wasn't being honest when he said it couldn't be racism since he's Hispanic.

We all heard the f*cking Co*n comment didn't we?

 

[gabriel]

wrong again pal. all people are racist to some degree. tribalism is in our dna.

 

[Corruptbuddha]

You lack of faith in your fellow humans is noted.

Of course, you have no way of knowing if you're right, or if the shooter is right.

Again, we'll see.

 

[Corruptbuddha]

??? Comment?

You got censored there.

What I have is the evidence that we've seen so far..to wit:

Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, spotted him while driving down the street and called police, describing Trayvon as a suspicious person.

Moments later, the two got involved in what one witness described as a wrestling match, and Zimmerman shot him with a 9 mm handgun for which he had a concealed weapons permit.

Sanford police have not arrested Zimmerman because he claims self-defense. Investigators say evidence supports that claim. Last week, they passed the results of their investigation to Wolfinger's office, saying they could not find probable cause to arrest Zimmerman on a manslaughter charge.

Sounds like a tragedy that could have been, should have been avoided.

But the actual shooting doesn't sound racially motivated to me.

 

[gabriel]

i have great faith that my fellow humans will behave like humans.

 

[Corruptbuddha]

And all humans act in racially motivated ways?

 

[Bo-4]

But the actual shooting doesn't sound racially motivated to me.

CB.. he calls the kid a "effing c-o-o-n" to 911 dispatcher and there was no racial motivation to the shooting? Please.

 

[Bo-4]

Here ya go CB.. go to 2:20 into the tape and turn up your sound.

[Corruptbuddha]

Prove it.

Racial motivation to the pursuit? Perhaps.

The shooting "sounds" like self defense.

Again, I stress, we don't have all the information.

 

[Corruptbuddha]

I hear it.

Sounds like 'oon'...Loon...moon...soon.

And, again, it doesn't prove the SHOOTING to be racially motivated. just the pursuit.

 

[gabriel]

not what i said.

 

[Corruptbuddha]

Yes, it's exactly what you said.



'all humans are racists to some degree' 'I expect humans to act like humans' or words to that effect.

 

[gabriel]

yes and most of the time many of them are able to sublimate that human trait. in other words , they try not to act in racially motivated ways and many times succeed.

 

[Bo-4]

I hear it.

Sounds like 'oon'...Loon...moon...soon.

And, again, it doesn't prove the SHOOTING to be racially motivated. just the pursuit.

Lol.. Bluh people and all that huh?

Sorry dude, if i PERSUE you simply because in MY mind you look scary and black, and then i shoot and KILL you (scattering your Skittles and blood all over the pavement) .. then the SHOOTING was indeed racially motivated!
