While biologists sometimes use the concept of race to make distinctions among fuzzy sets of traits, the scientific community suggest that the idea of race often is used in a naive[4] or simplistic way,[5] i.e. [B][SIZE="6"]that among humans, race has no taxonomic significance: all living humans belong to the same species, Homo sapiens and subspecies, Homo sapiens sapiens[/SIZE][/B].[6][7][/QUOTE]
especially in modern times/ modern travel...Race has no scientific value...
there is no such thing as Race...only 1 human species.

[QUOTE=2LeTTeRS]Angela Corey:
"We never said Trayvon didn't do something to George Zimmerman," Corey told HLN's Vinnie Politan. "What we said is you can't take a concealed weapon and encourage or incite a fistfight -- which is what he did by stalking a teenager who didn't know who he was -- [b]and then whip your gun out and shoot[/b]," she said.[/QUOTE]
but that's not what happened.
GZ received a broken nose and cuts/abrasions on back of head before he fired.
she should know WAY better than to say something that foolish, and indeed that's what gives the impression she was trying to use this trial to enhance her renown, such as a 'tough on crime' stance.
it doesn't make any sense from any reasonable angle i can conceive that GZ intended to kill. it also doesn't make any sense from any reasonable angle i can conceive that TM wanted to start a fistfight rather than just get home.
a prosecutor's work description has to be pressing the appropriate charges IMO.
said thing is that race or money has clouded so many of the attorneys public opinions about this case.
[QUOTE=lakers_forever]It's not. There are white hispanics, black hispanics, mixed hispanics and so on.[/QUOTE]
Actually, Hispanic isn't a race. It's a denomination that refers to someone who comes from a Spanish speaking country.
If a black, white, or Asian person emigrates to a Spanish speaking country -- they are ''Hispanic'' by United States definition. Also, most Hispanics in America are mestizos, and not white.
Many of the things Larry Elder was saying.... are true. For whatever reason, people just CANT STAND to let facts get in the way of their prejudiced.
Piers Morgan is a joke. This condescending wanker constantly talks over his guests but CANT STAND the taste of his own medicine. :oldlol:

Yeah, Piers is ****ing terrible. I grew up watching Larry King with my dad and now Piers Morgan just gets up on his soapbox and tries to show everyone why he is a better person. I wouldn't mind him steering conversation toward his moral viewpoints but not to openly antagonize people.

Intending to kill is not required to convict for either of the counts that Zimmerman was tried for:
- [URL="http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/second+degree+murder"]2nd Degree Murder[/URL]: a non-premeditated killing, resulting from an assault in which death of the victim was a distinct possibility. Second degree murder is different from First Degree Murder which is a premeditated, intentional killing, or results from a vicious crime such as arson, rape, or armed robbery. Exact distinctions on degree vary by state.
- [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manslaughter"]Voluntary manslaughter[/URL]: when the defendant either kills with 1) malice aforethought (intention to kill or cause serious harm), but there are mitigating circumstances that reduce culpability, or 2) when the defendant kills only with an intent to cause serious bodily harm. Voluntary manslaughter in some jurisdictions is a lesser included offense of murder. The traditional mitigating factor was provocation; however, others have been added in various jurisdictions.
- [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manslaughter"]Involuntary manslaughter[/URL]: the unlawful killing of a human being without malice aforethought (intention to kill or cause serious harm), either express or implied. It is distinguished from voluntary manslaughter by the absence of intention. It is normally divided into two categories; constructive manslaughter and criminally negligent manslaughter, both of which involve criminal liability.

okay, thanks.
i'm not sure i'm sanguine on "premeditated" coming anywhere near "intentional," you know? that definition isn't implying 2nd degree is generally non-premeditated but intentional, does it?
if you're in the middle of a mad scramble to survive, i'm not sure it's common to have intent or non-intent to kill. nature would suggest you primarily just want to end the threat. agree / disagree?

Larry Elder is a f*ckin idiot..
I can understand if he is mad at people in South Central LA or wherever, but that has nothing to do with Trayvon.. you justify someone getting followed and shot when they werent commiting a crime.
He says he wish Zimmerman was the watch person in his neighborhood :oldlol:
Earth to Larry Elder.... You are black which means Zimmerman would probably profile and shoot your kids you idiot.. :facepalm
Im no fan of piers Morgan but he made Larry Elder look like a fool..

[QUOTE]Zimmerman would probably profile and shoot your kids[/QUOTE]
Zimmerman did not profile Trayvon outside of the fact that he had never seen him before, he thought he was acting suspiciously, and he fit the description of the people who were terrorizing his neighborhood with home invasions (black males in their late teens) he was simply watching the neighborhood, it was not racially motivated. Also, he didn't shot him because he was black, he shot him because he was getting his head smashed into the concrete ground.
