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

[Malthus]

What the boingboing article fails to mention, of course, is the cop's side of the story - that the guy attacked them with a knife and a hatchet when they responded to a call triggered by his medic alert.

Which may well be total bull - but allegedly, the incident was all caught on tape, so  presumably all will out.

Well the case is about to be presented to the Grand Jury so it seems like the authorities are on top of it.  I find it hard to believe tazers couldn't take down a 68 year old with heart problems.

Hey, he was a Marine. He laughed off their wimpy tazers and shotgun beanbags. 

[derspiess]

Yeah, with that Breitbart guy.

Which ones?

The dead one.

Dead videos?

[Admiral Yi]

I remember you squealing with joy about that edited Wikileaks video of the attack helicopter Speesh.

You are: BUSTED.

[Razgovory]

Yeah, with that Breitbart guy.

Which ones?

The dead one.

Dead videos?

A dead man who edited videos.  Such as the Shirley Sherrod thing and the Acorn video.

Why is the stand your ground thing relevant to this? Seems like it's either a justifiable homicide (self-defense) or it's a homicide.

I think Yakie's connection was the black victim thing.

I'll admit that I liked the Acorn video (did Breitbart edit those??).  But tell me more about how I liked the Shirley Sherrod thing.

Who me?  You remember incorrectly if that's a case.  I was very critical of the whole thing.  I didn't like the editorializing, the editing, and quickly came to dislike the head guy.

Yes, breitbart edited them.  You linked us to breitbart more then once, so I assumed you liked what he did.

Is your name Speesh? 

It ain't always about you, honey

I don't believe he did.  IIRC it was O'Keefe.

It was hilarious seeing that pale prep school young Republican trying to act like a pimp.

Not you, Speesh.

Breitbart edited the Sherrod video, Breitbart was a right winger, ergo Speesh, who is a right winger loves edited videos.  Therefore he loved the Wikileaks video.  He likes Michael Moore "documentaries" too.  All right wingers love them.

If he enjoyed one video edited for political gain, why not another?

Indeed. He enjoys all edited videos.
