Now, I'm trying to get away from this place for a while, but some are making it difficult. Its the addictive nature of a board such as this that continual assaults and smears against one's character when people should be debating ideas keeps one coming back all the time to try and pump the poison out of the well. Indeed, that's one reason I really need a break.

But just one more statistic before I bow out of this debate, and that is that, while blacks murder other blacks and vastly disproportionate rates, its also true that in any violent crime in which blacks and whites are involved together, 90% (I think its actually 91%, but I've got to run and don't have time to dig up the fractions) involve black perpetrators and white victims.

Then, there is still the really concerning rise of "wilding" and flash mob behavior among blacks nationally, conduct which has metastasized in just the last few years but has, as one might suspect, gone unreported and ignored by the mainstream media:

You need to remember that while blacks are only about 12% of the population, they are about 52% of the murder victims. Highlighting statistics that portray blacks as criminals while ignoring ones that show them as victims makes you look like a racist.


According to Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011 there were 279,384 black murder victims, about 262,621 were murdered by other blacks.

Gawrsh, JM, can't you see how slanderous it is to point out irony? Now where is Inigo Montoya when you need him? Inconceivable?

Of course, slack must be cut, because "slander" appears to be Brother faq's new word of the week from his Vocabulary Builder desktop calendar, at long last replacing "fascism." Check out the brilliant Nugent thread for more fun with words.

That's not slander. It's an opinion. Saying "ldsfaqs can't run an eight minute mile" is slander. Possibly. If evidence is posted to prove it. Actually it's libel.

In other words, Stevie Wonder the incredibly ignorant liberal he is believes people should not be allowed to defend themselves even unto death of their attacker, but should instead just allow attackers to beat them unto death.

So ldsfaqs, before Stand Your Ground laws, people weren't allowed to defend themselves, and just had to allow their attackers to beat them to death?

I guess you missed the thousands of Floridians who were beaten to death before SYG. It was a veritable epidemic, I tell you.

Liberal liars like you don't understand that the proper response to a punch in the face (or even the threat of such) is a bullet in the brain. It's only fair, and it's what Jesus would do, for sure.

Nothing like you liberal liars building your straw-men that you then attack.
No one said anything about such being a "proper response" in all cases. We are simply stating that in many cases it's not an "unreasonable" response.

Zimmerman obviously felt he was overwelmed by the 6 foot 3 lanky black teenager with an attitude who if you knew anything about such agreesive individuals can be extremely violent and dangerous. Further, the pictures show the evidence of Trayvon's damage.... Yet YOU would have us believe that Zimmerman should have just let himself be potentially killed, by letting it continue.

You know, it's really telling liberal morality and character..... This isn't even a case of a pre-emptive shooting, it was a case of CLEAR damage being done by deadly force, and then deadly forced used to stop it. Yet, the liberal brain, even with the pictures showing all that damage simply cannot comprehend that a person would have a right to defend himself in the best way he was able, which in that case was by gun.

As to Jesus..... He said those who live by the sword die by it.... Trayvon chose the live by the sword, and he died by it.

Jesus also said we are to work out our own salvation..... Thus, if we have to defend ourselves, then we are justifed.

What an impressive grasp of the New Testament!

I applaud your erudition yet again.

Nothing I said was false, and it was hardly an expose on the "entire" New Testament, all aspects of the Gospel.

Bottom line however is that Christ isn't us, and we are not Christ.
We have to live and choose good or evil. And it is that choice that makes good or evil, not whether one dies.

God didn't say we had to be "victims".... There is a TIME AND PLACE FOR EVERYTHING, including a time to kill.

So you (and all the others you apparently speak for) agree that I have the moral right to put a bullet in your head if you are winning a fist fight with me.
