If I was following someone and they turned around and confronted me and I killed them in the altercation, I wouldn't have the gall to claim that I felt 'threatened' when I chose to follow them in the first place. Especially if I had a gun on me.

The "Martin was a thug" people are where my ability to have a conversations breaks down. I can't say anything, because if I did it would basically be "Aren't we lucky that we won't be judged forever by how we acted as teens BECAUSE WE GOT TO LIVE TO FUCKING ADULTHOOD."
There's no such thing as karma. The universe does not correct itself magically just because we want it to. Unfortunately, bad people get away with shit all the time. there are assholes right now in the Hamptons enjoying the shit out of all the money they made by tanking the world economy in 2008, while the people…
Yeah. It's like he had to be a saint to not be on trial for his own murder. He had the right to walk down the street unaccosted.
Some of these comments are horrifying. I don't care if Trayvon smoked all the pot in the world and had an IQ of 12. He didn't deserve to be murdered in his own back yard. Sometimes I love the internet, and sometimes it's really scary to think how all this social media has created a nasty invisibility cloak for us all…
The way the kids seemed a little ashamed and concerned they couldn't figure out why on Earth people would object to a cute, fluffy Cheerios commercial. Kids,you don't get it because you are young and awesome. It did bug me the young Black male and the young Asian male were both frustrated by bigoted and racist…
There are actually people out there who think he had a criminal record. Those same people don't think Zimmerman's record of being charged with actual violent offenses is relevant.
To sum this up - Trayvon Martin was found guilty of attempted murder at his own murder trial by a jury that included only George's peers.
Dear trolls,
Go look at the very top post, and the very first two replies to it. That's all you have to do, you don't even have to look at the rest of the thread. And then, if you still do not get why I posted what I did, why it was necessary, then I'm going to actually stand by exactly what I said, to you, personally.
Hey, fellow white ladies of Jezebel: Let's remember that a black kid is still dead, and his killer is still free. It's not about our feelings tonight, or about what black people say about us. It's about the fact that black lives do not, according to the state of Florida, and in American society at large, matter.
Thank you..!
When I was in undergrad, I was in one of the science and engineering buildings (I was a sociology major, so it wasn't really directed at me, but was still cool) and went to the bathroom. Someone had written "Don't get discouraged. You deserve to be here!"
If someone can do this, I can put away one of my clothing piles tonight SO HELP ME GOD.
This whole show frightens me because it is targeted at the average American woman-type person and it is SO FUCKING DUMB ALL THE TIME.
I've gotten to the point where I just ask guys if they like Ayn Rand up front and if they say yes I move on.
Ahaha so now all of these negative traits are feminine? You keep on keeping on, you troll you.
I have a whole rant about landlords and maintenance guys scapegoating women when things break. For instance, being told it's "my long hair clogging the drain" whenever my shower backed up. No, asshole, that's what I have a hair trap for. And landlords ALWAYS blame tampons for plumbing problems, sight unseen. …
Recently I came across a girl in the bathroom at my favorite bar, who was hiding in the corner and sobbing. Apparently a man had followed her for three different bars and was hassling her. The man CAME INTO THE BATHROOM and got into my face and said it was his girlfriend, then left because he was getting looks. I got…
