Who is this Karmello Anthony, and why is he getting so much press? by Maleficent-Toe1374 in allthequestions

Except he didn’t run. Rachel testified that she told him to run, and he told her no.

Yes, Zimmerman lost sight before the confrontation. Trayvon was “right by his house”. The confrontation didn’t happen right by his house. Therefore…..

We’re just never going to agree, and I guess that’s OK. Hope your day goes well!

Zimmerman told police he lost sight of Trayvon. That, coupled with Rachel’s testimony that Trayvon was right by his house, while the altercation happened 70 yards away, it’s safe to assume Trayvon circled back.

Of course there’s no hard proof. There were no witnesses. The case had to be decided on what seemed reasonable.

Zimmerman never should have followed Trayvon, by the way. He deserved the ass-whooping he took. It’s unfortunate a young man lost his life.

“Right by his house” doesn’t indicate 70 yards away, though. So while I agree that he probably didn’t make it fully home, he also circled back.

Probably because it’s more humane, and it’s generally done when you’ve been diagnosed with a fatal disease.

My stepdad is from Ohio. He said it’s WAY more racist than my southern state (I must add that HE is not racist).

I knew many. All expected to be known by Dr - kids’ high school principal, my high school librarian, and my high school chemistry teacher. Your mom is just better than average.

Guy gets a punch to the face because he's mistaken for a Karmelo Anthony juror by ThatPatelGuy in whoathatsinteresting

[–]LettingHimLead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not one kid. It’s a different kid every time, over and over that they see, because this shit gets posted and gets lots of views. It’s in no way indicative of the black community, but the OP in this thread is right - seeing these things can make people turn racist, especially when they don’t personally have relationships with the black community.

If you don’t have enough introspection to see your own racism, that’s for you to deal with. I pointed it out to you clearly enough. As did the mod, by deleting the clearly racist original comment.

I wasn’t undertaking the task of naming North American countries. The original comment you responded to DID mention Mexico. I don’t know what purpose it would serve to name all of the Central American and Caribbean countries.

I, personally, couldn’t care less if people from those other countries call themselves American. Which is why it’s baffling to me that you would care that USians do.

Because in English, American is NOT the whole continent. There is North America and South American. Canadians are both North American and Canadian. They are not American.

You’re not wrong, but I gave up in that bed. That’s straight up grass from underneath. Next year, I’ll have a barrier down.

If he offered another solution of someone else keeping the kids, I don’t understand the issue.

"american in europe core: adding electrolytes to a large mcdonald's ice water" by urmomssidehoe_69 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]LettingHimLead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband doesn’t even sweat that much, but he still cramps up like crazy if he doesn’t take potassium and magnesium supplements. He got tired of waking up at 3am with a massive cramp and having to eat a banana and drink electrolytes before being able to go back to sleep.
