People seem to forget that Rodney King was an asshole and deserved (about half of) the beating he got.

You know why people forget this?....because of all the noise made.

I'm not saying who was right or wrong on this current issue but until all the facts are heard, I think judgement should be held.

And that's the whole problem. But Mr.Tough Guy is carrying a gun, what can happen, right?

YOU go after a guy and YOU carry a gun. Self defense my ass, kid was probably (frank)ing terrified.

As I said, I am not supporting the guy, I am supporting the system.

People jump to so many conclusions...like that one article said he was a major in criminal justice. What year? First year? Community college? Graduate work? Yet someone said he should know better because he was a CJ major. If he never had a class in it yet, he would not know more than we do about it. Assumptions are dangerous.

The kid was entering through the back door of his very own father's home for Christ sake!
It's the guy who shot him that had no business being there. Even more so armed with a gun.

Edit: J'peux pas dire que je suis trop emballé par ce genre de "lettre ouverte". Criss, Gauthier est pas le gars le plus sympathique en ville, mais en lisant ça, on jugererait qu'elle parle du parrain de la mafia qui a tué son bien aimé le lendemain des noces.

on se calme estie...

- Pecafan Fan


C'est sur. Mais en même temps, si Gauthier a consulté Molson avant de faire l'échange pour Kaberle et qu'il a dit "bonne idée", ça m'inquiète vraiment, et je crois qu'il devrait laisser la job de président à quelqu'un qui s'y connait un peu plus en hockey.

Mais bon, c'est seulement à la fin de la saison qu'on va en savoir un peu plus...

You might want to read up on Rodney King. About how he robbed a store and beat the clerk with a pipe two years before the beating and got 2 years for it.

About how he hit his wife with his car only a few years ago and got put away for hit and run.

But you continue on trying to be cool.

Sure, obviously he deserved to be beaten for the better part of 20 mins, for crimes he had likely already served time for.

He was also not entering the door at the time.

You may have been embellishing the facts a bit. Keep in mind I'm not condoning what was done...just waiting.

Some more information is certainly needed to shed light on the situation for sure.

If so, I'm buying.

Obviously we support the killer because we don't want to arrest him right now and execute him.

I'm just curious at what the teenager has done that was so terrible that the other moronic loser decided that he had to kill him (after said loser confronted him, of course).

Yes...if I had to guess the guy was guilty. However he claims it was him yelling for help.

well of course!

So here we are.

He goes after the guy, armed with a gun, screams for help, shoots the guy.

BTW, I'm not saying "fry the (frank)er".

I'm just baffled that people are allowed to carry guns around as if it was... skittles... or iced tea.

Without waiting for police to arrive, the neighbor George Zimmerman, 26, a college student who is majoring in CRIMINAL JUSTICE confronted Trayvon, who was on the sidewalk near his home. By the time police got there, Trayvon was dead of a single gunshot to the chest

Anyone think he of all people should have (frank)ing known better?

- Prolific_Scorer


I think its the opposite, he did know better and he knew he could claim self defense even though he was away from home thanks to that Bill that the city of Orlando passed.

Death penalty is dumb however he should be arrested and judged. This is too tragic (and suspicious) an event to go unjudged.
