Guys, I know there are plenty of people with strong feelings about the Zimmerman verdict, but can we please stay away from that on this forum? The situation with Pouncey has nothing to do with it.
If he had supported Hernandez in a respectful or thoughtful manner, I don't think anybody would care. If he simply said the following "I recognize that these are serious charges, but I support my friend an former teammate" I certainly wouldn't care, nor would anybody else. But this is not the first time that Pouncey has shown himself to be a dunce.
Respectfully, I don't see it that way. Both accused of a horrible crime, both unconvicted at the time, and people wanting to show support in each case. Sure the cases aren't identical, but "nothing to do with" each other I think is a stretch, and less accurate.
I don't have a problem discussing either case rationally and without flaming, but having said that if the moderators or board consensus is to not mention the one case while discussing the other, I'm fine with that too.
We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!
HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!
"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"
he admitted to stalking, then subsequently killing... self defense isn't required without his stalking... it's like breaking into a house and charging the other peeps with having a slick floor which caused me to break my arm...
after a couple of edits, including a post i made on another board... may be more relevant for a topic of it's own, but, Ovi here's a common take....
I put myself in TM's shoes.. I imagine myself as a black teenager, walking home in the dark, minding my business... and I notice I'm being followed... much like Zimmerman's profile of Trayvon, I've profiled the "serial killer", and guess what - THAT is following me right now. I don't know that this is his intent, but, he's certainly after me.
I'm NOT going home. I'm NOT leading him to my house. Lead a stalker to your home? That's dumb.
With that, I don't suspect I'd wait for him to make a move - the minute he got close enough, I'm gonna punch him. I just am. Period.
I know he's a grown man, but, for my survival, I'm hoping i can kick his arse. No, i won't punch him once. I'm going to kick his arse. And make sure he can't follow me home. And hope he thinks twice about following the next kid...
Thing is, I keep reading basically that travyon was kicking his arse... and I'm trying to understand why who was winning the fight matters - in this case, no fight happens without a stalking.
