That's the root of this that makes people angry. That's the law they want to write, but, that's not a law that can be written or enforced, and deep down, everybody knows this. So at worst, Martin was just a victim of this type of evil which can't ever be regulated with laws. Which is what makes it so frustrating to people. Which is understandable, but I also can't help but think we're a long way from the early days of this thread where you were considered a racist if you pointed out challenges in the state's case.

Can we even entertain the conversation that there had been a half dozen b&e's in the past few months and the suspects were identified as AA in every case by witnesses?
If the stereotype fits, is it profiling? Or is it law of averages?
Some of the bars we unmask in a fof draft we see as logical conclusions... Put people of differing colors in the equation draw the same conclusion and now it's worthy of a hate crime. Shrug..I grew up in an all black neighborhood, f my bike got stolen, it was by a black kid and that ddnt make me racist it made me a realist.
