Something i have noticed is that many that are pro zimmerman are also against any firearm regulation,Anti Union, and anti feminist. As a Democrat the Zimmerman decision makes me physically ill and now i have to come here and read the gloating of Republicans.
I don't know where anywhere in this country one can be considered a democrat and be
1.Pro racial profiling
2.Anti all gun regulation
3.Anti Feminist
4.Anti Union
So why are we not tomb stoning these people? they have thousands of post now and continue with their republican bullshit. If I wanted to read republican bullshit id go to every other forum on the internet.
I know ignore is a function but that doesn't improve the forum, They will still be here moving the mood of the forum to the right.
I guess my question is are we a democratic forum or open to Conservatives now because there is a crap ton of them here now.
I know i don't have many post but i have been lurking since Bush V Gore on this and another account and this is the most right wing I have ever seen this forum.

(7,650 posts)I agree entirely with the OP. The anti-civil rights shift here is quite stunning.

(6,324 posts)When I have been anything but. I think he profiled, I think he was a cop wannabe and a holster sniffer, I think he created a situation with his antics that there was going to be no good ending to.
I think a manslaughter conviction would have been appropriate and had the prosecution gone for that and argued from a manslaughter point of view instead of overstepping and going for M2 and muddying the waters.
I think the prosecution bungled it big time
But I am also pro self-defense and for victims standing up for themselves, so I am very much against the idea of using this case to call for radical changes to the laws of this nation that will make self defense harder for all the real victims out there, and I am for people using accurate terms and legal interpretation of the law so others don't take misinformation they read and think it is law.
I am also pro-union, pro-feminist (can you be a female cop and not be?), and ok with reasonable gun laws.
Am I Democrat enough to post here?
