Where is your rage?

[Cajuncowboy]

It's kind of funny how people complain about people bringing up race all the time and getting mad at it yet the same people who complain about it are some of the first to bring it up in other situations.

However i do give you credit, you are right...it does prove that Hypocrisy reigns on high and that some people hate having the mirror held up to their face.

Well, it would make more sense if it were allowed in the context of the ongoing Martin/Zimmerman case.

To this day reading this article makes me rage and if I were in Cookeville I'd give this officer what he deserves.

I live about 60 miles from there but I don't remember this at all.

My CO is "Captain Sargent".

You would think he would have been promoted after 20+ years. :laugh2:

This case is actually somewhat old and got alot of coverage in the African-American community...and yes there was quite alot of outrage when it first occurred.

Haven't read your article, but I'd hazard a guess that it's been a year since the young man's death. People are waiting on the outcome..

Is the guess hazardous because it might fill someone with rage? :

It's not just you... I think it's the dumbest thing in the world to pull examples of other tragedies where the alleged have already been arrested or the legal process is running according to what's supposed to occur and then hold them up and accuse others for not having the same emotion.

People have said over and over that the issue for many was the initial lack of arrest and the seemingly lack of police action. Whatever "rage" I felt was due to those things. Now that an arrest has been and the wheels of justice of turning, I'm satisfied...and will continue to be satisfied regardless of the outcome.

bingo

if they had arrested and charged him in the first place, all the rage would have been cut off at the knees

The only reason any of us (unless there are people here who live in that town) heard of the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman incident, was because the media thought Zimmerman was white.

When it became known that Zimmerman was hispanic, the media had already committed to the story and couldn't turn back, so they started portraying Zimmerman in new terms, like "white-hispanic".

I don't get angry, but I am amused by these ideas you come up with in your head and slogans. When you get stuck on something, you can really drive it home.

Better than Sgt Sargent :laugh2:

My CO started off as enlisted, and at one point he was "Sgt. Sargent".

:laugh1: Guy plans to run the full gambit.

Just out of curiosity...Do you know how high of an NCO he was before going on to become an officer?

Not 100% on this, but pretty sure he got as high as SSG.
