DU reacts poorly to Jeantel interview

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Actually, they ignore the substance of the OP entirely choosing instead to attack the poster.

So do you think Zimmerman should have just took his ass whoopin'?

Interviewer: "So if I understand you right, your depiction of what happened is that George Zimmerman is pursuing Trayvon..."

Rachel: "Yes."

I: "...At some point a fight breaks out. Who swings, who hits who first, in your mind?"

R: "In my mind... I believe Trayvon. It was Trayvon. 'Cause like I said it was a headset. I know Trayvon. That headset always over by his chest area. And I was on the phone. Why would Trayvon leave me on the phone if he going to start something? That's a black... well not a black situation, any teen situation. 'Imma call you back, I gotta go handle something.' Trayvon had not said nothing to me. The only thing is... 'Okay, I'm at the back, almost by my daddy fiance house.' Wow."

I: "So why do you think he... if Trayvon swung first, what do you think Zimmerman did to make him swing first?"

R: "I think Zimmerman is a wannabe cop. Tryna say, 'Oh, I got you."

I: "Do you think he pulled his gun out?"

R: "No, I believe he tryna..."

I: "Grab him?"

R: "...Grab him. 'I got you. You comin' wit me.' And that's a teenager. You did not say you an officer. In his black, all black, the whole area was black. 'Who are you? Why are you touching me?'''

I: "You said something last night on Piers Morgan. You said that what Zimmerman should have done... you said there's something called 'whoop ass' and that he should... I laugh. You made me laugh out loud with that. You said that's what... he should have just took the ass whoopin', right? What did you mean by that? What did you mean by that?"

R: "Ass whoopin' and how the defense attorney say, 'Oh, Zimmerman just got BEATEN,' not... no, that's just called ass whoopin'."

I: "But Trayvon... George Zimmerman's defenders would say if he didn't pull out a gun, if Trayvon was whoopin' his ass, he could have killed George Zimmerman."

R: "No. Trust me: that's not killin'. You have a big bruise. You don't see inside your skin. You might have a little stitches. This normal teenager. Yeah, you might have a little hit, but who started it? You started it. You caused this situation."

I: "So you're saying Trayvon would have, may have, wanted to fight, he wouldn't have tried to kill George Zimmerman?"

R: "No. No. He woulda fight him and then run."

 Yes, even if Trayvon actually started the fight, Zimmerman was asking for it and he should have just took his ass whoopin'

51 (77%)

 I can't believe this chick was the star witness for the prosecution; these quotes alone raise reasonable doubt that Zimmerman may have feared for his life

15 (23%)

 37 DU members did not wish to select any of the options provided.

3. I think Zimmerman should have stayed at home...
 
... and masturbated to gun porn in front of his computer or whatever the hell it is he usually does.

I hope, for your sake, no one ever kills your child and then people on the internet, like you, *mock* his/her death.

Grow up.

5. There was no ass whoopin'
 
Two little cuts do not a whooping make. Nice try.

13. I think he should have taken the ass whooping
 
(if indeed it happened that way) rather than KILL the kid.

He did ask for it. He could have gone to Walmart without doing anything - then the kid ends on on the couch at home drinking iced tea. His life goes on.

He could have let the cops handle it after they called him. Then the kid ends up harassed by cops for doing nothing and eventually back home. His life goes on.

He could have just followed the kid home at a long distance and seen that he indeed just lived in that neighborhood and was doing nothing wrong. The kid's life goes on.

Whatever confrontation did occur, he had several chances to back away or halt the confrontation. The cops get there and defuse it. The kid's life goes on, even if he gets arrested for assaulting his attacker (likely in that situation.).

60. Because men like to forcibly rape 17 year old 6 ft tall boys?

I didn't realize that was such a pervasive fear nowadays. Do all men feel this way?

ProudToBeBlueInRhody (10,528 posts)

68. It's as much a reasonable fear as the fear of a black kid walking around your neighborhood (n/m)

dkf (34,616 posts)

70. Maybe for a little kid that can be grabbed.
 
If a 6 footer needs to be scared, all males should be.

18. Thousands of potential options for action, but those are the only two you listed. Pathetic.
 
GZ should have been at home. Where's that option?

Cracka got no bizness walking the street when bruthas be about.

22. Apparently Trayvon feared his own @ss getting whupped by a child predator. But, HIS frame

of mind doesn't deserve justice because he was too young to own a gun.

28. And the Jury let it stay

At Sun Jul 21, 2013, 08:58 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

So do you think Zimmerman should have just took his ass whoopin'?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023307493

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards[/url].)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Inflammatory push poll. Over the top inappropriate for DU.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jul 21, 2013, 09:04 AM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: this is stupid
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No... I do not believe a poll like this belongs on DU either. Hide. Ohio Joe

40. Despicable post. Your pointy white sheet is showing.

When historical revisionism takes too long just rewrite the transcript:
 

Duer 157099 (16,977 posts)

49. Just because that ignorant Interviewer didn't understand Rachel
 
is no reason to continue to misrepresent WHAT SHE IS SAYING.

Rachel is saying: NO, Trayvon did not start the fight. If he had, he would have mentioned to her that he was going to. It makes more sense to her that a wannabe cop grabbed Trayvon and Trayvon tried to GET AWAY. And that his minor injuries were the stuff of playground fights.

52. I agree with many others: HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN HIS DAMNED CAR

And whenever you see a black person walking towards you on the sidewalk you should also cross the street.

Or else you're a racist.

54. I don't think GZ was getting his ass whooped

I believe that while he was chasing Trayvon , he ran into a tree or tree branches. He admitted in his re enactment video that he tripped and fell (something which no one paid attention to) and injured himself that way. I think TM was struggling to get away from GZ and perhaps rolled on top of him somehow, but I don't think TM ever struck GZ or went for his unseen gun.

GZ killed that young man for no other reason than because he wanted to.

57. Yes, he needs all the practice time he can get in for the forthcoming ones

The much deserved ones

DevonRex (20,850 posts)

83. Zimmerman certainly deserved an ass whoopin. Following a kid like that. Creepy guy.

Asking a kid in the dark what he was doing when all he was doing was walking home from buying candy. Didn't identify himself. I think he grabbed Trayvon's sweatshirt. You bet he deserved an ass whoopin. But he pulled out a gun and murdered a child.

26. Yep. Did you see her on any of the talk shows? I thought she was delightful and wish her well.


Yeah, don't know what happened but the earth's axis of rotation must have changed or something recently.

Have a nice day.

Yes, what an enchanting and delightful young lady.

Hoyt, though he can tell if you're carrying a gun and can even tell how many cartridges are in the gun and further, he can tell if you've got a round in the chamber, alas, he doesn't have much of an eye for the ladies.

[dandi]

She went full retard.

Never go full retard.

What is the difference between Haitians living in Haiti and Haitians living in the USA?  Besides Haitians in Haiti speak better English?

[obumazombie]

If I channeled my inner racist black woman I could understand the conversation. It just hurts my brain, my psyche, and my morality too much.

[Carl]

You know,there are times one has to step back from the idiocy of the DUmp.
A normal and sane mind just can`t grasp the demented lunacy.

[miskie]

They just keep dancing around the point that Rachel is making, hoping it will go away. So, Im gonna bring it out into the open for all of the DU lurkers to read.

Trayvon went to kick Zimmerman's ass because he thought he was a homosexual predator. Trayvon didn't just want to go home, because he was afraid to lead the suspected gay rapist to his little brother.

So, yeah. A hate crime may very well have been committed. Not by Zimmerman, but by a gay hating Trayvon.


-Too bad, primitives.

So Trayvon was acting as if all homos are sex predators. That is so homophobic. The truth may be too close for comfort.

[NHSparky]

Bash the black man, or bash the gays.

Those poor DUmmies are SOOOO conflicted.

[Skul]

Both made decisions that night that led to he current situation.
Neither anticipated the outcome.
Excrement happens, and unfortunately, it gave the race baiters a stump to make more money.
Politics and money. Where have we seen this before.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Good or bad idea as may be, against a distant dispatcher's advice (NOT orders) as may be, nothing Zimmerman did was illegal, Trayvon is the one who commenced the illegal physical assault and then reaped the harvest.

Chew on that, lurking DUmmorrhoids.

Had saint trayvon, not circled around to attack George, he would still be alive.
He chose poorly.

[marv]

But in the end...

'Okay, I'm at the back, almost by my daddy fiance house.', Trayvon Martin as quoted.

So why did Martin turn and return to Zimmerman, hit him in the face, and assault him?

[obumazombie]

The black community doesn't want to face their parenting legacy. To avoid addressing and improving it, they will defend their miscreants to the hilt.

[USA4ME]

A good example of why attempting to have a reasonable dialogue on any topic with the political left is useless.

If liberal regressives not enslaved the blacks to taxpayer dollars, they might see things differently.
Clandestine slavery is a regressive goal.

I'm beginning to wish some other shiny object will emerge and enrage the dump. The trial is over, the prosecution didn't prove their case SO GET OVER IT DUmmies!!!!

Sheesh!

Just as an aside... I noticed that there is no longer coverage of the many scandals of the obumbles admin.

[wasp69]

So, St Racheal Hoodrat puts Trayvon as the aggressor, huh?   

[GOBUCKS]

You make good points, especially about the Obama administration using it as a distraction.  But I am drawn to all the Trayvon posts.  I get such a kick out of them. 

One thing I see happening is that the Zimmerman trial is maybe going to skew the DOTY this year.  Here's one example:  I'd never noticed the Dummy Hoyt before, but check out him saying that he thinks that Trayvon knew that Zimmerman was packing heat based on Hoyt's own claimed experience of knowing if people are carrying a concealed weapon.

89. I can even tell which side you got it on by the way you walk and

how many cartridges you have in magazine and whether you have one in chamber.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023302560#post89

Hoyt is a nobody, but has nadin said anything lately that can compare to that?

The Trayvon/Zimmerman affair is breathing life into DU.  But it can't go on forever.

[jukin]

After the hundreds of protestors that showed up over the weekend in 100 cities I think the 0bama regime will let this quietly drop from the public's view. Even with all the publicity that the head racist in chief gave them on Friday. If anything this is going to get lots of blowback from the silent majority. We are getting pretty tired of being called racists and bowing to the race pimps.
