But isn't labeling Martin as a drug abuser who was carrying an illegal substance rather than Skittles an attempt to justify both Zimmerman's shooting of Martin and your own position?


The only thing that matters is that TM threw the first punch and started the physical fight.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

by the way bcspace, why are conservatives scared witless by black people?

for you, did it start in childhood? did you have a "scary" experience when your dad took a wrong turn off the interstate on a family vacation?

For which the only evidence is the word of a proven liar, GZ.

And it directly contradicts Rachel Jeantell's testimony.

Besides, didn't Martin have a right to stand his ground against the man stalking him through the neighborhood?

I have yet to see any of these GZ defenders admit that TM had a right to be fearful of GZ, and had a reason to not want to lead him to his home.

Want to guess whether they'd understand it if a 28 year old black man was following a 17 year old hispanic boy?

by the way, the "skittles" in this drug mix isn't the candy.

Cough syrup is typically mixed with ingredients such as Sprite soft drink or Mountain Dew and pieces of Jolly Rancher candy.


It's not unusual to add in candy flavoring to off-set the flavor of the cough syrup, Beastie. It's no reach that Skittles are used en lieu of, say, Jolly Ranchers.

ETA: It's important to remember that most users begin as children, and it's understandable they want a fruitier taste rather than what cough syrup provides.
