Trayvon Martin case: use of Stand Your Ground law or pursuit of a black teen?

That would be a step up, you'd be filming a show where zombies are a bad thing instead of one trying to create them.

People tend to feel less threatened by minorities when there are less of them in the area.

Well then we must be really threatened in Texas since we are a minority majority state.

You work on reality shows, correct?

I've never seen them combine the two in news reports.  Mostly because no one who isn't a weirdo does that except on the census forms, and as mentioned, that has caused problems.

[MadBurgerMaker]

 

Sorry buddy, but I've never called or heard anyone actually call themselves "white Hispanic" before, and I've never seen it anywhere else, aside from the census, that I can recall until this story about this guy.  The super light ones, my sister in law for example (blond hair blue eyes), usually end up just being called "white," while the brown ones, like Zimmerman or my buddy who is 50/50 and probably a little darker than Zimmerman here (but who is named like a stereotypical whiteboy frat bro lulz), tend to just be "Hispanic."   Self identification seems to be whatever they want on whatever forms.  When talking, the actual place they're from seems to be the thing.  (e2: Oh there's also "Latino/a" and such, can't forget those)

Oh and the ones driving around in their Ferraris on their way to the mall to buy a bunch of shit, such as the one I encountered today going fiftyfuckinfive on the highway in his 360 while jabbering on the phone, get called "Nationals." Or "Fucking Nationals."

But I would be interested in seeing a news story that doesn't involve this dude Zimmerman where they call them that instead of just the usual "Hispanic" if you've got some links.  This dude apparently called himself Hispanic though, so the addition is rather odd.

E:  What's this about Spike Lee posting some old lady's address on Twitter and saying it was Zimmerman's house?

Court documents obtained by msnbc.com on Tuesday evening show that George Zimmerman, who fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, went to court in 2005 and 2006 for accusations of domestic violence, tussling with a police officer and speeding.

The three incidents took place in Orange County, Fla.

    In 2005, Zimmerman, then 20, was arrested and charged with "resisting officer with violence" and "battery of law enforcement officer," both which are third-degree felonies. The charge was reduced to "resisting officer without violence" and then waived when he entered an alcohol education program. Contemporaneous accounts indicate he shoved an officer who was questioning a friend for alleged underage drinking at an Orange County bar.

    In August 2005, Zimmerman's ex-fiancee, Veronica Zuazo, filed a civil motion for a restraining order alleging domestic violence. Zimmerman counterfiled for a restraining order against Zuazo. The competing claims were resolved with both restraining orders' being granted.

    In December 2006, Zimmerman was charged with speeding. The case was dismissed when the officer failed to show up in court.

Amongst other things. Do feature films as well. Just happens Alaska is flush with reality programs.

As interesting as Martin's suspension.

[CountDeMoney]

went to court in 2005 and 2006 for accusations of domestic violence,

  And he still had a handgun permit.  God Bless the NRA.

[Phillip V]

We need more restrictions on who can get a gun.
