[TheRealThing]

^There is much more to this situation than what you want to focus on. The state of Florida has a lot of laws on the books that cops enforce and the people live by. Some things are obviously discernible from up here in Kentucky and can be discussed in a reasonable manner and some can't. If I didn't know better I would think some on here saw the whole thing.

This whole thing is very reminiscent of the days when hundreds of lawyers decended on the state of Florida, mostly from Cook County, due to cries of voter disenfranchisement of certain minority groups. Back then the MEDIA were reporting 24/7 about hispanics and blacks that were supposedly not allowed to vote or, their ballots were discounted. Remember the 'hanging chad' saga? The very same players were involved in that one too, Jackson, Sharpton et-al. They played the race card and the whole thing was sensationalized beyond belief. Most government agencies and police departments just throw up the white flag when lawyers for the NAACP, or the ACLU start talking minority rights. It's the Rook of legal trump cards and it is played somewhere in this land every darn day.

The media did make a lot of noise in this matter and were largely responsible for getting the police to take another look at this thing. But, they played the race card in doing it. At any rate, it is hard to understand the flaming hostility with regard to posts we make about this case on here.
