I'm merely pointing out your failure to acknowledge any similarities than what you previously mentioned.
I'm failing to mistakenly think that the similarities between the two cases are more than minor and insignificant relative to their differences. Which makes me vastly more "right" than the people who keep making a point of saying "this is just like the Zimmerman case" or "here's how this case is similar to the Zimmerman case", when in reality the only reason they think that is because no one's putting the details of the hundreds of other gun related crimes that actually share more with either of those case in front of them.
If the only two meals you've ever eaten are steak and salad, you'll think that those are really similar too.
My claim has nothing to do with race, hence why I didn't mention it.
Sure. But it's a good bet that if the victim hadn't been black and the shooter white (or at least labeled white), you would never have heard of Dunn in order to think "this is similar to the Zimmerman shooting". Get it? You only think so because you are ignorant of all of the other crimes which share more things in common with these two cases than these two do with each other.
Nor was it about claiming that the two cases were exactly the same, hence why I didn't bother to counter your self-defense claim.
I never once said that anyone was claiming they were identical. I disagree with singling this case out and saying it's similar to the Zimmerman case not because it doesn't have *some* similarities, but because those similarities are incredibly minor and not worth singling out. Monkeys and Zebras share lots of similar features, but you'd never go to the zoo and pick just those two animals out of all of the other animals and make a point of saying they are similar.
I mean, they are in a very broad context. But so are lots of other random pairs of animals we could pick. So one would assume that the person making the statement really isn't commenting on any real significant similarities between Monkeys and Zebras, but that for some reason that person wants me to focus my attention on just the Monkeys and Zebras.
My point was to show that they are more similar than what you claimed, hence why I mentioned the similarities.
And my point is that the reasons you think this and not that there are similarities between any of a long list of other cases out there is because someone wants you thinking about these cases, and not those other ones. They don't want you thinking about all the legitimate uses of self defense out there, which closely match the Zimmerman case (but just never got the public attention of that case). And they don't want you thinking about all the cases where it was the car full of black kids in the parking lot who decided to shoot the white couple who made the mistake of parking next to them. Or all the cases where two groups of black kids met up in a parking lot and it ended in gunfire and death.
They want you to not think about those, but instead focus on the rare cases that make it seem like there's some kind of scary trend of crazed white racists running around with guns targeting innocent black teens. Cause that happens all the time and we need to do something about it!
Way to be used though.
I now understand why you claim that there were no similarities.
I never said there were no similarities. Sheesh!
