Gun Culture in USA

[Antonio]

Trayvon won't have to worry about prison..... Maybe more humane that way, laws in all countries always fall behind the wishes or reasoned morality of the society it serves, but it would be wrong to point out the USA as the worst in barbarism on this planet...... I can think of many more worse.

I would say most things out of the U.S.A.are wrong.

Except one specific thing,airport departure lounges,the best thing about America.

Is leaving it.

How about don't come in the first place. 

Since you hate the USA, stay away, we don't need/want you there.  We already have enough haters.

Never been,and never want to go.

Your quote Keith=We already have enough haters.

Ever wondered why.

Ignorance comes to mind....... So your opinion is not from first hand knowledge.... Yes ignorance comes to mind..... Also prejudice ..... Well done Antonio

You must be talking about Americans,using words like ignorance and prejudice in the same sentence.
America must be one of the most ignorant countries in the world,as for prejudice,well say no more.

Well I'm not an American, and ignorance is obviously not the sole disposition of the yanks

That is soooo true, you just have to read a post from Nookie to know that (such as his last post on this topic).

Really.

100 million.. Really... Although experts cannot agree on the total population of the Native American Indian at the time of American independence it is thought to be between 1.15 million up to a potential 12 million. I guess they are related to cats and lost all their 9 lives.
We're the Spanish better in South America ? We're the British kinder in Ireland, Australia or the sub continent, the French in Indo-China? The Mongols in Europe and China? The Japanese in China, and the South Pacific .... Should the sins of the father be revisited on the sons??
Seems to be a lot of talk without much fact or evidence.... Obviously prejudice, no the Americans as a country have blood on their hands, which country doesn't ?

Note that this Genecide started in 1492.  From another report, 95% of all Indian deaths were from European Diseases that the early settlers brought.  So the Spanish, French and Brits are the main culprits, not the citizens of the US.  Of course we can blame the evil Ruskies for any genecide in Alaska.

This post has degenerated into a "you are and idiot", with a response of "no you are a bigger idiot".

Or it could be that i am reading the facts and my opinions are not of a racist point.
Black or white the man in the house had no right to go outside and murder anyone.
I am not bothered about COLOUR.
What about you?

Your own posts dispute what you are saying.  You said:  If Trayvon had a been a white kid,Zimmerman would have been found guilty.

That opinion is all about race.

No that opinion is based on the American legal system.

Try not to be an idiot all your life Keith.
A black man standing accused of killing a white man,verdict guilty.
A white man standing accused of killing a black man,verdict not guilty.

Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point.

This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points...

Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this? There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.

And then there are just Americans.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you.. so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.

You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day.

You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.

You have the NAACP. You have BET. If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.

If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.

If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that??

A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists.

There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US ... Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college.

In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

I am proud...... But you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists??

UPDATE 7:19 p.m. -- John Henry Spooner has been found guilty of first-degree intentional homicide in the fatal shooting of Darius Simmons.

ORIGINAL STORY -- A video entered as evidence in the murder trial of John Henry Spooner on Tuesday appears to show the 76-year-old shooting his 13-year-old neighbor Darius Simmons dead.

The Milwaukee senior is charged with first-degree homicide after the alleged incident in May last year. Jurors saw the video (below), taken from Spooner's own surveillance camera, that shows the suspect walk out of his house, brandishing a gun. After a short argument, the man in the video waves the gun around before he shoots Simmons in the chest. Simmons manages to flee outside the scope of the camera before dying.

The evidence was recorded in court Tuesday and provided to  Crime by the Journal-Sentinel.

Simmons' mother, Patricia Larry, testified in court that Spooner accused her son of burglarizing his home, stealing several weapons. She said Spooner told Simmons he'd teach him a lesson before firing the fatal shot.

She added that her son died in her arms moments later.

Police say Spooner admitted to the crime, and that he claimed Simmons was part of a black family next door that had caused nothing but trouble, according to the Associated Press.

Jury selection began Monday, and potential jurors were asked about their thoughts on racial issues, as well as the recent and George Zimmerman trial, according to local news station TMJ-4.

Jurors will need to decide whether Spooner intentionally killed Simmons, and whether Spooner was suffering from a mental illness at the time that prevented him from knowing right from wrong.
