i feel like it's worth pointing out that this is a much trollier headline than either free republic's or fox nation's headline for this story.

Why are the feds getting involved?

You're right, subby, this is nothing like kowtowing to Sharpton in an election year.

When it comes to inane trolling, Fark does it better.

Well yeah, the mods have to show both sides of the story as if they are equally valid, even if they aren't. CNN would be proud of us.

Tag is for the headline.

Seriously, admins? You're greening shiatty troll headlines like this now?

Hey, anybody else remember a long time ago when you had to try be both funny and original to expect to get a greenlight on Fark? Now I guess you just need to steal Freeper troll headlines and you're in.

I'm confused; you're suggesting that he gave a weak level of attention to F&F and will give the same weak level to Martin's case, though kowtowing to Sharpton implies he'd focus overly much on it, and above all seem to think Obama needs to do something extra to win over the black vote this year. I'm not sure you're saying what you think you're saying.

I said it at the end of the other thread, but I'll say it again here.

Martin/ Zimmerman-related race riots now = Romney win in November. No need to alienate the voters you don't have locked up to kowtow to the voters you already do have locked up.

Race riots will cause the redneck voters to have 2 votes each instead of 1? Exactly how does anger over black rioters translate to more votes for the etch-o-sketch mormon?

I thought it was farking retarded, actually.

Oh and Zimmerman's gone, BTW. Even though his dad is an ex-judge and he's therefore bulletproof, he's disappeared. So move on.

It's not just this one thread

It's every single f*cking thread. You can't click on anything without it being half the people biatching and moaning and complaining about it. You want them to stop? Stop clicking on them and giving them page and adviews. You keep falling for trolling and then act surprised when it keeps happening.

Sounds like the same logic of how Obama was "finished" when that fat white girl took an eraser to her face.

this may be one of the most blatantly racist statements I've ever seen posted on Fark. Congratulations.

Well I judiciously use my whining for when it's warranted. I can't account for other people's.

Feds prepping for the inevitable butthurt from the prosecuter's annoucement to not press charges.
 
2012-04-11 01:01:12 PM
i still find the "racism" claims curious because objectively speaking it seems like both people involved were the types that either provoke violence or initiate violence

to me at the end of the day this case is no more nationally important than the other thousand shooting deaths that seem to happen everyday, but FOR JUSTICE!

"If we find evidence of a potential federal criminal civil rights crime, we will take appropriate action," said the attorney general.

I guess this doesn't apply to voter intimidation.

Oh, what's that you say?, Zimmerman is "white?" Gotcha.

The end result will likely be a settlement that guarantees free Skittles for all minorities. It's only fair.

Why would white supremacists vote for the black guy?

Hopefully they investigate this with the same level of professionalism they put into the Black Panthers voter intimidation.

Oh wait...
 
2012-04-11 01:03:34 PM
From what I've heard about the special prosecutor, Zimmerman's goose is pretty cooked. Especially since he pissed off his lawyers and they quit.
 
2012-04-11 01:03:39 PM
God damn, now THAT'S TROLLING.

"The attorney general made the comments in an appearance before a civil rights organization founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton."

Well, that's your first mistake, Senor Holder

"But people are murdered anonymously all the time!" is a stupid argument.

Generally, if the local and state authorities look the other way and do nothing, the feds mush get involved.

Why stop there? How about:

AG Eric Holder will give The Martin/Zimmerman case a thorough review, likely with the same level of care and attentiveness that was applied to the "Fast and Furious" program. Nothing like kowtowing to Sharpton in an election year. Maybe he can pal around with terrorists or fire up the magic money printing press with Uncle Ben and Fartbama. SAUL ALINSKY

Hmmm... another use of the word "kowtow". Interesting.

Anyways, should the justice system ignore this case until after November? Here's what Holder said:

"If we find evidence of a potential federal criminal civil rights crime, we will take appropriate action," said the attorney general. "I also can make you another promise: that at every level of today's Justice Department - preventing and combating youth violence and victimization is, and will continue to be, a top priority."

How is that "kowtowing" to anyone? It seems to be the justice system performing their job.

Also, where the fark do "race riots" come into play? Are you insinuating that if Zimmerman is tried and/or convicted, whites and/or hispanics will riot?

Yes, that's the ONLY reason that a high-profile case might get reviewed. You idiot.

I'm just happy that I now know how to spell kowtow. I actually tried to use that in an email this morning and just went with 'sucking up' instead.

They are involved in everything now.

Martin bought Skittles, this triggers the dormant commerce clause.
 
2012-04-11 01:07:57 PM
There has been an ongoing "black people are to blame for this because they are race baiting and they're the real racists anyway" thing that has been really gross lately.

"I want to see the first black man who uses the 'stand your ground' defense and see if it works. Or the first white victim of the 'stand your ground' by a black defendant and see if it works," Ogletree said.

Oh, there's no chance in hell the bigots aren't gonna take that line and run with it.
 
2012-04-11 01:08:32 PM
Congress comes back in session next Monday. I predict calls for House and Senate hearings and investigations that farking day. And the odds of those hearings and investigations happening in the Senate are nearly 100% if the special prosecutor does not press charges. This has grown so much beyond the actual event that it long ago surpassed the ridiculous.

I don't. But federal law does find what they did as easily meeting the definition of voter intimidation. The DOJ even admitted as much when they told one of the guys "don't do that anymore."

It's not news, it's low brow race trolling.
