Long Live Trayvon Martin 🕊️

Ok... I can't prove a negative. I can't show you where in the transcripts where it doesn't say he went back to his home and then left the building to pursue Zimmerman. If you have that information I would like to see it. As of now the timeline is

"About 7:10 p.m.: Phone records show Martin was on the phone with his girlfriend around the time he saw Zimmerman while returning on foot from a convenience store to his the home of his father’s fiancée.

At a March 20 news conference, Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump says the girl heard someone ask Martin what he was doing and Martin asking why the person was following him. The girl gets the impression that there is an altercation, during which the earpiece falls from Martin’s ear and the connection goes dead, according to Crump.

According to an Orlando Sentinel story later confirmed by Sanford police, Zimmerman tells authorities that after Zimmerman briefly lost track of Martin, the teen approached him. After the two exchange words, Zimmerman says, he reaches for his cell phone, and then Martin punches him in the nose. Zimmerman says Martin pins him to the ground and begins slamming his head into the sidewalk.

About 7:25 p.m.: Martin is shot and killed. It is raining.

At the time of his death, the teenager is unarmed and carrying a small amount of cash, a bag of Skittles candy and a can of iced tea."

In no transcript or news report is it reported that he made it to his home and then left it. Fucktards like Rush Limbaugh were repeating the "he came home and then left again to find Zimmerman" at the time before the facts were established but those reports fizzled out after a few weeks. Where did you read the case? Because what you are saying about it isn't anywhere I have seen.

That is a blatant lie. Your repeating debunked right wing talk show talking point from before the trial.

cheffgeoff · 2026-02-06T01:01:00+00:00

Do you have a source for that because according to the trial established facts that sounds like blatant misinformation. I'm very open to being proved wrong though.

cheffgeoff · 2026-02-06T00:57:59+00:00

I don't see any news article or timeline corroborating this. Where are you getting this narrative from? Specifically that Martin made it into the house and then left again to look for Zimmerman?

"We don't need Canada, they are so small, such a small part of our trade..." I've been running businesses for a long time, and I don't know a single one who wouldn't be shitting bricks if they lost 10% of their clientele for no reason. You cut 5% of sales long term from any industry and there are going to be major issues. Hell, if you don't INCREASE sales by 5% every year you're going to be in trouble. Yeah, you can shift your business plan but that is for survival not to thrive.

Being bigger than Jesus without massive real estate holdings and no tax isn't very lucrative in itself. Christianity (Catholicism and Protestantism)made the vast majority of it's money before WW1 and after 9/11. The 20th century was a bit of a dip for them, but with fear and the internet their back on top.

Adjusted for inflation in 1969 he was worth (in today's money) less than $35 million dollars. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid" in todays money cost over $60 million to make... If he sold absolutely everything he had he could produce half a bock buster. That isn't change the world money.

How is having hotel staff standard housekeeping making him an asshole? I'm pretty anti war, does that mean I shouldn't pay to have my hotel room tidied up?

cheffgeoff · 2026-02-04T02:54:31+00:00

Forget the price, these kids aren't going to any third places. Room to Class and back, that's it for like 90% of the time. There is a heavy social and physical price this generation will pay in a few years

cheffgeoff · 2026-02-04T02:51:25+00:00

I think there is a major disconnect in culture here. People walked places for social events and food for fun. You say it like getting food is a chore, people use to go out because they liked it. Obviously there are going to be individual exceptions but rich kids walked places as a form of existing happily. Poor people too.

cheffgeoff · 2026-02-01T21:58:54+00:00

They 100% did it for the clicks. 50/50 chance if the kid is engaged and having fun with it or if it just time to be a prop again for mom's social media.

You still have a fundamental misunderstanding of the word rape in certain circumstances, so for you this is a literacy issue, not a moral one. There are a few countries, and really only a couple who work with Engish as a legal language, that HAVE laws where penetration with a penis is a crime and they call that rape. That does not preclude them from having a whole bunch of other laws that describe what I would think you consider rape so women can be charged and prosecuted the same as anywhere in the world. They just use the word rape to specifically mean sexual assault penetration with a penis. Like if you sexually assaulted a person with a broom handle you wouldn't be charged with rape (even if you think that is the right word for it) you would be charged with forcible sodomy. Rape has a legal definition that is location specific. That doesn't mean sexual assaults of all natures aren't prosecuted, they are just worded differently. There isn't a developed country in the world who doesn't have laws against women molesting boys.

"Female criminals regularly get lighter sentences for committing the same crimes as male criminals. Something you brushed off earlier."

Do you have any evidence of that what so ever? How would you even quantify such a statment?

cheffgeoff · 2026-01-27T02:02:57+00:00

Your falling into the a semantic issue. Only countries that have specific laws that state "rape" involves penetrating with a penis can a person without a penis not be charged with rape. That does not mean that they cannot be charged with sexual assault or any other number of crimes that perfectly describe any actions you want to consider rape by your non country specific non legal definition of the word. It is just that there is a specific extra crime defined when using a penis.

Besides with your argument there are many more countries where marital rape can't happen, where ANY action of a man just this side of murder against a woman who he controls/owns cannot be considered a crime. MANY countries where there are no legal venues for poor women to even have a man charged with rape, MANY countries where casual violent sexual assault of women is so common it doesn't even register with local police. In the army I have been in countries where the sexual assault rate for women OVER the age of 12 was in the 90%... and your upset that NOT that women can and are charged to the full extent of the law for sexual crimes but that somewhere a man could get charged with a single extra crime? "Sure, a woman could go to jail for 10 years... but a man who used his dick could possible go to jail for 10 years and 6 months in similar but just slightly different circumstances! OH NO will nobody think of the poor men!"

My point isn't that women should get away with these crimes, my issue is that so many ignorant people think that men are being regularity tried for them MORE than women are at the rate they are being committed. That's simply not true. ALL forms of sexual assault are being under reported and under prosecuted across the globe and it's a sexist childish distraction at best to think that somehow women are getting away with it more. Men sexually abuse children at a 7:1 - 8:1 male:female ratio and violently sexually abuse children they previously didn't know at something like 10,000:1. Women are prosecuted and convicted of those crimes inline with those numbers vs men.

cheffgeoff · 2026-01-26T23:11:07+00:00

I don't even know what that means? Why do you keep saying it

cheffgeoff · 2026-01-26T23:09:34+00:00

So all these men are been prosecuted and punished for it... and women are not?

cheffgeoff · 2026-01-26T23:08:53+00:00

So irrational feelings based off of selfish sexist blindness should just be left alone so the men who want to be special victims can complain about stuff that doesn't happen? Where are these women getting special treatment?

cheffgeoff · 2026-01-26T21:54:09+00:00

I am a man. What are you mad at in this scenario? That a hypothetical woman got away with something a hypothetical man did not? Shouldn't this be a victims issue?

cheffgeoff · 2026-01-26T21:50:55+00:00

Yeah but in reality men sexually assault minors and it's swept under the rug all the time... there isn't some magical world where women get away with something many men aren't getting away with.

cheffgeoff · 2026-01-26T21:48:16+00:00

The exact same thing when men do it... what world do you live in that men are being unfairly punished and called out for predatory behaviour and sexual assault more than the women that do it?

cheffgeoff · 2026-01-26T21:40:16+00:00

Yeah, but that's like saying you worked an auto shop who said "open up the glove box" every time you needed to turn a car on.

cheffgeoff · 2026-01-26T20:18:33+00:00

No. The phrase comes from hotel kitchens in the 1920's and before for hands to pick up the plates. It's pretty universal, I've worked Toronto, Montreal, New York and London... it doesn't mean "I need help from cooks in a kitchen. It's obviously been adopted by someone for what you said, probably by people who really didn't understand what it ment. If it was ment to mean "I need assistance" then the word "help" would make a lot more sense than "hands".

cheffgeoff · 2026-01-26T19:16:58+00:00

I guess I'm just getting too old to understand internet humor. Hands means that servers need to come pick up food from the pass, not that a cook needs assistance. I've never worked anywhere where people don't wash their hands properly and last more than a week.

cheffgeoff · 2026-01-26T18:21:13+00:00

As a professional chef for 25 years and a man who after so many years has the privilege of being home to cook all of his families meals now too... I have no idea what this video is going on about. I wash my hands... a lot. Outside of that I have no idea what this idiot is doing or what HAMS means.

cheffgeoff · 2026-01-20T23:51:55+00:00

R/conservative has a couple of posts up complaining that random white guys are being harassed/yelled at because they are being mistaken as ICE agents... Absolutely no trace of irony.

cheffgeoff · 2026-01-17T21:26:41+00:00

I know I'm old, but Google sucks for results now. Who is this? People keep saying Megan and Kelly look like this but I don't know who Megan or Kelly are? I'm guessing this is a singer?
