You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense - Present Tense

What the fuck is wrong with people to have such disregard for life?
Something tells me the neighborhood animals have experienced the boredom of these "teens" - whom I hope are tried as adults.
Hopefully the judge and jury will be bored and just give them life in prison. :roll:

I wonder if Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will protest this shooting?! I wouldn't hold my breath.
Absolutely agree, they will stay far from this!

I can't see how if the roles were reversed, it wouldn't be considered. And they would be tried as adults with no questions asked. Should be interesting to see how this goes.
I should have been more clear, I am not saying anything about our justice system. I am speaking of the public court of opinion when the unfortunate face of a lot of the public outcry and "reasoning" comes from the likes of Mr. Jackson and Mr. Sharpton.
That is one of the problems in America... The court of public opinion. That court is filled with jesters and fools and no one should listen to nor care what they have to say.
Let the courts sort that shit out.
Hail, Hail!!!
I would think that if these kids were not arrested and allowed to remain free then yes Jackson and Sharpton probably would have something to say.
They were arrested. If you're trying to compare this to Trayvon Martin's death you are really way off base.

But even if they are/were black, does that automatically deem this a hate crime? Strikes me as more of a stupid, pointless act committed by three useless (so far, it seems, anyway) teenagers.
This is the problem I have with the term "hate crime". Yes, it's hateful but then how many crimes aren't?
Different races possibly being involved doesn't automatically equate to it being ABOUT race. At least, not to me.
agreed
Like I said in the other thread regarding this issue, I just think when people bring up race it brings out some minimal racism itself (no offense to those). This situation is just fucked up, no need to bring race into it. Historically white people show racism towards blacks more than blacks show towards whites, or at least this is how I see it. If this case was the other way around (where 3 whites shot one black), yes it might spark more outrage, but not in the extreme that Trayvon's case was. The three black teens who did this were arrested. Justice was done, no more needs to be said. If it was three white teens and they were arrested, the same justice has been done.

I agree, from what I read from the article these appear to say they were setting out to "kill somebody". The article didn't say lets go kill this white guy, they appeared to kill the first random guy they came across. Also yes I believe there's usually some hate involved in killing someone....one it seems has to ratchet up their anger to reach the level to end another persons life.

You - me - we... Must be vigilant.
These things are in our society and their goal is evil.
And I don't believe in the concept of a hate crime. There shouldn't be different penalties if you happen to commit a crime against someone who isn't exactly like yourself. A crime is a crime.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
Totally agree, there has to be some responsibility of the parents here. Maybe if they got thrown in jail, others might think twice about letting their kids drop out of school and sit around to the point of being so bored you and two buddies hunt down someone and kill them for the fun of it.
To compare this to Trayvon you would need a white Sharpton/Jackson to speak out.
In this case my comment related to asking Sharpton/Jackson their thoughts on a case where the murderers were arrested immediately and admitted the crime. The original suggestion that they would speak out doesn't make sense. But given the facts of the case I can't imagine that they wouldn't agree that the kids needed to be arrested.

it actually wasn't a jab. when I first read this story, I actually WANTED the death penalty for these 3, if you can believe that.
basically I just think that this type of evil needs to be locked up forever. no chance of parole. EVER.

exactly. no chance in hell. they'd be deemed traitors. there would be no point anyway. they don't speak out against all crime, only crimes against blacks.

I think many people are misunderstanding Jackson and Sharpton. They did what they had to do to keep peace I think. If they didn't do what they did and give people something to rally behind peacefully, there would have likely been a lot of people out there 'keeping it real' causing more violence. I think what they did was great, they stood up as leaders and took charge in a time of uncertainty. Better them in charge than some angry mobs with no direction or mature leadership.
