First, pocketless pants. We can't have pockets because that implies the right to carry something. We went from carrying everything in this country, to not being allowed to carry anything. If you do, whether its keys, wallet, cellphone etc., you can get shot.
"He's carrying something."
Pocketless pants means no shirt. Because with no pockets, guys might be forced to stick things in their waistband from time to time, so no shirt. The added benefit to that is no shirt no hoodie, and we already know hoodies are out.
I suggest we just walk around no shirt, pocketless pants, with our arms straight over our heads as we're
walking down the street. For added protection, we need to have our birth certificates sticking out of our ass, so we can just bend over and offer it without having to reach for anything.
Maybe we should just cut off our dicks. I'm sick to death of my country treating us like we're insurgents in some country we've invaded. Why do we need birth certificates? We get treated the same as a non-American anyway.
Watching the retching of people over whether Zimmerman should be arrested is so painful I have no words for it. Now we have to sit back on top of that and watch people trash the victim. It's shameful.

(12,310 posts)to sprinkle some crack on Trayvon. Today I wake up and here that Trayvon was suspended for having an empty marijuana baggy.
Par for the course.
'Sprinkling crack' implies setting him up/framing him. As far as I know nobody has made that accusation about the baggie. Kids smoke weed and sometimes they get busted. It happens.
Why he was suspended isn't relevant to what happened, but it's natural that questions about his suspension would follow because the line of inquiry began with things that are relevant.
Q: 'What was Trayvon doing in the neighborhood that night?
A: 'Walking back to his father's fiancee's house after a trip to the convenience store.'
Q: 'Why was he in Sanford on a school night if he lives in Miami?'
A: 'He was suspended from school'
Q: 'What for?'
A: 'An empty baggie of weed with residue on it.'
