walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[Disciple]

Disciple, you keep saying Martin had a right to be where he was. I recall the news media saying something about his father's girlfriend living there, but I don't belive this was ever verified. Maybe you could provide a
link or a source to verify this information. I am not taking sides here; at first, i thought it was cold-blooded
murder, but the more information that was provided, the more I had reasonable doubt. I realize I am not
as smart as you are, but think that the word "murder" can be a verb or a noun, whereas the word "homicide"
can only be a noun. Thus, you believe Zimmerman murdered Martin and is, therefore, guilty of this homicide.
I do hope you had a restful night of sleep. I will wait for the trial to hear circumstances of what happened that
evening before making up my mind about degree of guilt. Also I think telling someone that they have their head
up their ass is rather unfriendly.

Check out Wikipedia for a source.

Murder is a subset of the larger topic of homicide. All murders are homicides, but not all homicides are murders.

Why would you assume that you are not as smart as I am? I certainly wouldn't. I might (or might not) be better educated, but that has nothing to do with intelligence.

The comment WAS rather unfriendly. And this is not how I normally treat people who express an opinion. Everyone has the right to do so. But more than once I DID say that I wasn't black (as if it matters - this is an issue of morality, not to be cheapened by taking sides based upon race). And LC DID vouch for me.

Obviously some part of that was too complicated for her to understand.

In fact, I am almost pure Irish (and not the black Irish, either).

Yes, we'll just have to wait for the trial to see.
