That's what they get for following the demographic trends... it's like their parents have never heard of racial profiling or something!!

try not to look suspicious

Clif,
I'm not saying George is not guilty. I was merely pointing out the obvious way the media falsely protrayed this. If you can't acknowledge that then you have your head up your ass.

i don't have a tv and haven't read any coverage, maybe a minute's exposure on radio or at some bar, so i have no idea how the media has portrayed the events.

if the media used the word 'little' to describe a 5'10" 17 year old, i'd think that was a poor choice, and trite. they also didn't call a 28 year old with the desire to be a judge, a gun license and no college degree immature and naive.

i'm done-

He was told not to pursuer the suspicious person by a dispatcher. NOT a member of law enforcement. That is a huge difference.

Not that big of a difference, really.... regardless of who asked him to stand down, he clearly made a conscious decision at that juncture. He can't claim that he was forced into the situation.

Seems to me that if you're carrying a loaded firearm, you should be WAY less inclined to confront anyone, for obvious reasons. Kind of like how a school bus driver has more responsibility on the road than the average motorist.
