I was thinking about you, Ms Exced Remember how you told us that police had stopped your son while he was walking in your neighborhood?

You know, I am getting tired of this rawce nonsense now . Here are my own first-hand experiences:

1. In 2010 my son was walking with his friend from Africa in a neighborhood around their college in Ohio. The next thing my son was thrown to the ground by five white police officers (the college police was across the street watching the whole thing). My son was thrown in jail overnight with trumped-up charges. I won't go into the details but will tell you that all charges have been dropped and my son's records expunged.

2. In 2011 my friend's son (both parents Jamaican) was pulled over by police while driving home at night in his upscale NJ neighborhood. Why? According to the police the light above the rear license plate was out this was after the police checked his driver's license and saw that he really lived in that neighborhood.

3. In 2012 another friend's son (both parents Jamaican) was stopped and ID checked by police in broad daylight as he walked in his upscale white neighborhood in Maryland. Why? He was wearing a hoodie.
I am signing every rawce petition to stop this injustice towards young black men so send them my way too

If the yute was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and walking fast would that have made him less suspicious?...It seems to me the cops are going to the max to make up excuses for this A$$ wipe

As I see it, it was this young boy who was <span style="font-weight: bold">pursued and attacked.</span> To be honest, were I in Martin's shoes being followed without reason or cause, I would probably asked of him, the very same question Martin asked :

<span style="font-style: italic">Zimmerman told the police that Martin noticed that he was being followed and asked,</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">“what’s your problem?”</span> Obviously, Zimmerman had a problem with a young &quot;black&quot; slowly walking back to his home.. This man is dangerous as a &quot;watchman&quot;; he could have watched to see the house that Martin was soon to enter without breaking in. Since he was suspicious of him, he could lead the the cop once he got there, to the residence..

No youth, or anyone for that matter, should be the victim of a &quot;crazed&quot; lunatic such as this watchman.. Zimmerman should be made an example in the cause of Justice. He should be arrested and charged with first degree MURDER..

Re: Orlando Watch Shooting Probe Reveals Questionable

If that happened in Canada he would be in jail on first degree murder charge...No doubt about it...
look here

A central Alberta farmer who shot a man stealing his ATV more than two years ago will serve 90 days in jail.

Brian Knight learned his sentence in a Red Deer courtroom Friday after pleading guilty to criminal negligence in January.

Brian Knight, shown outside the Stettler courthouse with his wife in 2009, will to jail for shooting a thief. CBCJustice Monica Bast rejected the defence's argument that the shooting was impulsive, saying she believed Knight was aware to some degree what he was doing.

Knight chased and used a shot gun to fire at a man who was stealing Knight's ATV from his farm near Tees, Alta.

In the early morning of March 26, 2009, Knight found three men in his farmyard.

He jumped out of bed and gave chase clad in boxer shorts and rubber boots to a man riding Knight's all-terrain vehicle.

Knight rammed the ATV with his car and, when the man abandoned the machine and began running, Knight pulled out a shotgun, firing two rounds at him, police said.

The man, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, was eventually caught after Knight called friends and relatives to help in the search, police said.

Must send message, says Crown
Crown prosecutor Jason Snider recommended Knight be sent to jail for 90 days to be served intermittently.

Snider told Justice Bast the shooting was a vigilante act and the court must send a message that behavior of this sort is wrong.

However Knight's lawyer, Balfour Der, argued the shooting was not a vigilante act, but a spontaneous reaction.

Knight did not shoot to the man to kill or hurt him, but merely wanted to scare him, Der said.

Knight's sentence will be served on weekends beginning after the Thanksgiving weekend

Re: Orlando Watch Shooting Probe Reveals Questionable

There is a letter on file with the city I live in regarding that incident with my son.

Some of these people think only whites should be living in this county.

It's a small county only 6 cities so them think them run things.

That could have been my son couple years ago so I've to stand up for Treyvon

Re: Orlando Watch Shooting Probe Reveals Questionable

Between imprisonments and shootings without cause, these attacks on black men are reaching genocidal proportions. I really resent it. Enough already!

Re: Orlando Watch Shooting Probe Reveals Questionable

My brother and his family (2 boys, ages 19 and 21) live in that very county and he said the police are extremely harassing.

Re: Orlando Watch Shooting Probe Reveals Questionable

Ms Exced, thanks for the email address. I am going to write them and look for any/all petitions to sign regarding this matter. Like someone else said I am sick and tired of this b.s. continuing to take place with our young black males.

No law degree after my name but even I KNOW that this man should be prosecuted. Bout self defense GTFOOH

This is a g-rated message board and saying that I cant begin to express my opinion on the murderer, police dept and the district attorneys office.

Well mi hope the lawyer representing the parents take a page from the parents of the young man that got hit by the rich drunk driver and im end up adopting the girlfriend. I saw them on TV and they basically said they'd would leave no stone unturned to make the man pay in anyway they could make im pay.

The did petitions so he would be charged.
They sued him (for wrongful death)...the man has settled.
Them going on every news channel that will have them and making sure them say the man's name.

I hope that man get im up and comings.

Re: Orlando Watch Shooting Probe Reveals Questionable

If you have a young black male in your family, or know someone who does, <span style="font-weight: bold"> you must</span> sign the petition at change.org. When my son-in-law first came from Jamaica, before he had his green card and could work, he would often go for walks in our old neighborhood. Every time he went out, someone would call the police. It got so bad that the police would apololize for coming to our house yet again. Amerikkka nuh change.
