Re: Chicago vs Florida Shootings

Because they chopped out half of the conversation:

NBC's "Today" show first aired the edited version of Zimmerman's call on March 27. The recording viewers heard was trimmed to suggest that...

Re: Chicago vs Florida Shootings

There suddenly seems to be a lot of retractions about these days. One would have thought there is enough regular news available on the wire services without having to manufacture or embellish news....

Re: Chicago vs Florida Shootings

Please don't ruin my mental image of North Korea as an idyllic, utopian holiday getaway. You'll be telling us next that all those grief stricken, tear stained faces at the 'The Dear Leaders' funeral...

Straight reporting does not, in my opinion, constitute involvement.

Re: Chicago vs Florida Shootings

One would have thought that the North Koreans would be more likely to accidently edit a tape to fit the narrative than a reputable US news organization.

It was nice to find out yesterday amidst the hail and tornados that our truck is two feet longer than our garage!

I think it was mentioned earlier in the thread, there are around 30 states with similar Stand Your Ground or Castle Doctrines on the statutes.

Re: Keurig coffee maker.....?

The Cuisinart incarnation of the Keurig holds up a little longer than the standard Keurig and is a little more robust. Regardless of make I have found their customer service to be excellent, if your...

The end result is the same, dead is dead, regardless of the motivation or the situation.

Re: Chicago vs Florida Shootings

But we don't know the facts behind the Chicago murders do we? As I noted, they have been under reported and are now officially listed as 'sad facts of life'.

Re: Chicago vs Florida Shootings

Re: Chicago vs Florida Shootings

True, my point is that both items should be newsworthy. I would hazzard a guess that less people died in combat missions in Afghanistan over the weekend than died in Chicago which I find incredible!

Re: Chicago vs Florida Shootings

I understand the suspicion of institutional racism, however I'm not sure as to how the mechanics of US law function. Here in Dallas we quite often see crimes go unprosecuted due to lack of eyewitness...
