Baltimore DA Mosby.......

just doesn't get it or chooses to continue to live in a dream world of denial.....At her press conference she blamed the police investigation(s) into the Grey case as the reason the officers were either acquitted and/or charges dropped....She took NO responsibilty or accountability for the failed prosecution and/or her incompetence in the matter....Not really surprised by any of the actions taken by her but are people really that stupid to believe her excuses for this case?

During the third trial.....the judge had to ask the prosecution as to whether or why they had not presented ANY arguments and/or evidence to support their reasoning for the charges that Grey had been given the 'rough ride' treatment by the officers in question....Even after the judge took the time to ask the prosecution did not even attempt to persue what was their entire foundation for bring the charges which gave the judge no choice but to acquit the officers....Which boils down to their whole case being based on an intentional 'rough ride' and then not presenting anything to support the charge...or well..... proves only the incompetence of D/A Mosby....

I'm glad to know you agree that the police got away with a murder because of an inept DA.

That's a real stretch of the imagination....At least you can't throw the race card in this case, what do you do - buy them by the pallet load?

     A real STRETCH of the imagination!...  But not unexpected....If someone believes 'the police got away with murder' then no matter what the verdict....facts....and evidence say... some will always believe 'the police got away with murder'....This entire mess falls at the feet of the incompetent D/A and Mayor with an assist from the doj and al sharpton....

I didn't blame it on the DA. You did.

HUH???....Never denied that it was the incompetence of the D/A and the Mayor....But the D/A's overcharging and inability to even present a defense that they came up with was a joke and got nothing solved but certainly doesn't mean the 'police got away with murder'....The D/A blamed the police investigation and accepeted none of the failure as her responsibility....She should have already been fired...Both the D/A and the Mayor attempted to make a name for themselves attempting to capitalize on a situation rather then seeking justice and controlling the thugs that destroyed a part of her city...

You do love that word "thugs," don't you? I'm sure you are smart enough to know it's the new word for white people who think they need a new substitute word for the  "N" word when they are referring to black Americans.

You can use that word around other white people and they know exactly who you are talking about and what your attitude is towards black people without even having to use the old "N" word. In todays world it reveals more about the speaker than it does about the subject of his conversation. It's an extremely useful word.

You're the one who said the trial wasn't fair because the DA was incompetent. I guess you think there needs to be a new trial with a more competent DA then?  Maybe a white one?

It's nice to know you also blame the mayor of Baltimore who is also black. If you didn't blame both of them there might be some confusion about where your thinking comes from.

But don't worry. I'm not confused at all.

    Good thing the moderator is on hiatus!....To imply that I'm using ANY word as a cover for the 'n' word is simply and totally offensive and beneath this forum and it's rules....This is the behavior that you and others are/were famous for on the other forum....This is LOW even for you but certainly not unexpected....when you can't discuss/debate an issue you play the race card and attempt to smear someone as racist....If I had made a comment like this.....well we already know just how quickly a comment made by me can be perceived and the consequences...but really and in all seriousness your post simply makes you look ridiculous with a totally false allegation....But apparently your standing and the rules of the forum don't apply to you as they do for others....The funny part about this is....both prosecution and defense experts are on record about the incompetent D/A in this case.....guess all must be 'racists' too...

Actually, not. I posted a link showing that the word "thug" is perceived by African Americans to be a codeword for the "N" word. That's proof that it's not just my opinion.
It would be interesting to know if you were capable of not using the word every time you refer to a young African American.
My opinion is that you're not.
The moderators can take any actions they want to. That's what forum moderators have a right to do. I'm not glued to this forum every day so I really don't care.

And by the way, I'll say this again. Trayveon Martin had never been arrested for anything. If you want to call him a thug, I feel like you need some proof that he was one.
Except that there's not any.

I can't stop laughing!!!! Now "thug" is a hidden racial slur. Geez, what's next? Eliminate chocolate ice cream????

BTW Merriam-Webster defines thug as a violent criminal. But it's much better to use an off the wall race baiting web site to cherry pick an appropriate definition that matches a predetermined agenda.

Not even worth the effort to explain. she did this on the other forum too....if someone is convinced then no matter what is said there's no changing someone that will see or use race into a perfectly innocent comment...Not chocolate....only 'white chocolate' may be deemed offensive!...

Carlin said something like: political correctness is simply fascism pretending to be manners.

  And sometimes....those that call others racists should first look into the mirror....

  When I read Carlin....I was hoping for the seven words or think it was seven words....

Again...not going to be lectured by anyone that calls others 'racist' when they are or unable to understand the conversation that's taking place...and to then whine about not being 'civil' is hysterical!...Opens with false allegations and then as good liberals do...play the 'race' card and whine about "others" not being civil...Guess like some of the college students that continually live in the world of being traumatized there may be a need for adult 'safe areas' too....

You just said Merriam Webster said thug meant a violent criminal. One more time I will repeat: Martin had NO criminal record prior to the night Zimmerman killed him. He had no record of violence. Therefore, even the definition you gave does NOT apply in any way to Trayveon Martin. I have read George Carlin as much as you have. He was an honest man and he was a great comedian. He was not a role model for creating a civilized society. His language wasn't the kind that most mothers try to teach their children to use.
A civilized society depends on responsible citizens who understand offending other people is not something you should WANT to do, especially if you have no reason to do it.
The word Thug is offensive to a large segment of society. I gave you a link proving it. I won't be the one using it.


Maybe my mama just taught me better than to be rude for no good reason other than to irritate someone who was different from me, and yours didn't.
I guess that could be.  If so, you've got an excuse. You just weren't raised to be civil.
As for looking in the mirror, I don't have any problem doing that at all.
