    I  did read the story and it makes no sense that this neighborhood crime watch captain shot 17 yr. old Tyvan Martin as he was walking home from school. The boy was not armed and supposedly was on the phone talking to his girlfriend. I dont know why they have not arrested that man. He claims Martin attacked him. Something is very fishy here. I hope Justice will be done, I will be following that story.. My heart goes out to the family/

    You're writing about the incident here in Texas? I'm still waiting for the rest of the story. Turn out the kid was on the phone with his girlfriend when it happened............

    Is this the story of the young boy coming home from the corner store?

    This type of thing unfortunately happens all around the world.  ... And sometimes it just takes longer to find the truth of the matter. 

    Another reason why the US gun laws need changing.


    "The right to bear arms" probably was intended originally to bear arms to protect your country in time of war, not to become what is perceived by many to be a gun mad gungho society.


    Add to this the fact that no one appears to know the full and accurate account of the incident.

    Exactly!

    i totally agree!

    I agree too. It was meant for if the Brittish retaliated again. Then, ever able-bodied American man could pull out his musket and have a ready made militia

    Now I have research to do- read up on both of these awful murders!  (It has been so gorgeous outside these past few days that I haven't watched the news- I have been walking with my cat.  Yes, my cat and I take walks together- odd but true!

    I find nothing odd about walking your cat Doolittle.

    Doc!Our puffy cats go for walks too...even to the beach!!The local vet said she's never seen the likes!

    One of my cats will come for a walk, with my husband or I.

    that's o.k Doo, I had a act that used to fetch his lead to go for walks, only thing was he had a dim view of dogs and would attempt attacks (thank goodness for the lead)he used to also "bail"up the horse across the road, the horse thought it was amusing!

    Black and white  rich and poor  Gated community , money politics  go figure

    I think, one big problem in America is,, Guns are to freely available, even school children, have used them. The law should be more  tight.

    I agree, but unfortunately that has only created a black market here

    And how the hell can one soldier shoot to death 15 civiians in Afghanistan without being arrested ?

    PEOPLELOVER

    I agree to a limit, if Afghanistan is anything like Iraq or Vietnam you don`t know who your fighting against.
    If civilian casualties are regarded as "murder" then the USA committed horrific murders using atomic bombs on Japan as did all the allies in both world wars.
    Britian flattened Dresden to show what they could do.
    Unfortunately the media beat up anything they can without a thought of the reason it happened.
    War should be fought on the field not in our lounge rooms.
    Agree or not civilians are collateral damage.

    It so sad I can't bear to watch the latest updates on the story.  Some people absolutely do not and should not have guns, but anybody can get a gun.  This guy was a hunter, with an itchy finger.  He's be in big trouble if he had shot an endangered animal.  There has been a history in this country of shooting  and hanging black citizens and slaves.  People use to gather round while they hung black men and cut off their private parts.  The word picnic came from "pick a nig . . ." Some people still may think its ok.  The man probably got a thrill out of his act ike they use to.  It was a form of entertainment back in the day.  People were even permitted to shoot and burn down houses and businesses if black people that dared to vote.  To see the problem is still here some people are trying to take the vote away from 75,000 people by requiring they have a voter id.  Sad we people will not grow up.  And we are the leaders of the world, setting example for rest of the world. Woody Haroldson, the actor just said, "When I heard how people talked about the middle and  lower class behind the scene of my movie, it makes me weap for humanity."

    I agree with the voter ID card. There is no reason why any legal American should not be able to prove who they are. Why the fuss about showing proof? Something to hide? Not really an American? One of Obama's illegal Mexicans that he's counting on to get re-elected? I have no problem proving who I am, I just had to reprove who I was at the DMV when I went to get my license renewed after having one for 34 years with no marks on it. I didn't throw a fit, I didn't squawk, I provided my birth certificate, my social security card and proof of residence. Didn't hurt me at all. I am now a federally verified American with a star on my license. I personally want to know who is voting for the US president. If they are an outsider, they do not belong in US polling stations or voting boxes.
