Choosing to look a certain way doesnt make you any more or less likely to commit murder. There are peaceful racists who never hurt anybody. Jurors might, however, misinterpret the tattoos and pre-judge him as guilty.

I think its a shrewd legal move by his lawyer but I would just bring my wife's Clinique bag and cover that shit up. no need for it to hit the media.

That was my point dumbass. I am sure anyone, especially minorities of any type, could claim their trial is unfair because of their minority status, so do we offer them anything to make sure their trial is fair in their eyes? If not then why cater to some scum bag neo-nazi that chose to brand himself a dipshit.

Guilt by association? If I choose to walk down the street with a bunch of drug dealing gang bangers then I choose to accept the consequences of such actions, right?

civil i knew what you were going to post even before i clicked on this thread....

jeez you really swung at that screwball

Sigh, and to think I was actually trying to convince people you had changed, and weren't about just being a troll. Maybe they were right. I guess you are just typical Jason.

think and state what you want

You like to throw your comments out on the forums now and again for shits and giggles

then when I do it back I am labled some troll.

double standard?

I swear most of you expect me to act like some saint.....when in fact I talk with the same tone as the other mods in these forums.


You need to sit back and think to yourself why am I expecting jinx to act like the creme de la creme.

I am a online teamplayer that talks shit in good fun while staying in line.
