I don't think the DOJ should get involved but I do think the conversation should continue. To dismiss this is the reason we are here. Left wing folk can't be tolerant to conversation. Yet I also see it on the right. Look both sides agree that are country is in need of repair. They disagree on how. I personally believe that personal responsibility is the beginning but it is the beginning.

A serious question - would people be calling for a "national conversation" on race issues if GZ was found guilty?

You have no idea the extent to which he was involved in this stuff. Hell, I've thrown gang signs, smoked weed, have a gun and was once suspended from school.

Guess I'm a thug too.

I know people who still hate OJ & did not accept that verdict. They celebrated when he went to jail later. They celebrated when he loss the civil suit. I'm blown away by the difference & polar opposite reaction between this an OJ.

I believe it is a flaw in our justice system that you can be found not guilty criminally and then be held liable in a civil suit.

I don't care who it is. That includes OJ.

Fight club - white movie. Suspensions, drugs (prescription) - hmmm. Stealing, gang signs - if white would be a troubled teen crying out. A black teen equals thug (a term popularized by rappers over the last 20years) which for some is code... Not all use code words but are simply using the current terms, those I understand and respect. I don't want to stereotype all people who disagree with one side or the other. I simply wanted to point out how some can read these words. A response would be don't read into a statement or don't be so sensitive. That response explains the lack of conversation out side of your circle. Thoughts? Respectively.

I may have read more into it than you put. If so, my bad.

The evidence shown made TM the aggressor, GZ getting wailed on, then protected himself the best he could. It's a shame a kid died.

If I'm TM being followed in a strange neighborhood, I'm putting distance between my follower, not confronting him. He had that option as well as calling the police himself.

Prescription weed ? Ok lol. Fight club the movie is no way relevant , just adds to the long thuggish list. A thug isn't just a black person. If anyone does all the things TM did, they are a thug, white black green brown or purple

You missed it. Prescription drugs/ forget weed. Obviously I explained the thuggish part by saying some are just using the current term but thanks for your comment.

Trayvon is a thug. He got arrested for grand theft and crack possession before.
