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

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-

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.
