Repeating the same post three times where you were wrong doesn't suddenly make you right.
Karmello was not raised in a gated community, and the 'community' referred to in the post you originally replied to is talking about the people around him, not a physical space.

If he would have looked at them, people would have said he was defiant.
I don't want people thinking I am defending him. I'm just saying the whole damned thing is a tragedy, and I do not take pleasure in his punishment. The process is the process, but I'm not going to rejoice in it. I'd have been better off not ever hearing either of their names.

You know, you don't just lash out and stab someone in the heart when he puts his hands on you as your first violent act of your life. You work up to that.
You start by observing a certain level of violence in your everyday life that is acceptable and ramp up from there. Violence against you to start, then violence you commit on others that is viewed as ok, if not even encouraged, in your family and community.
It's just how people in your community settle their conflicts - the biggest, fastest, and quickest to attack will win - he gets the prize and the women. You grow into this just being an acceptable form of conflict resolution, since you see it all around you and it is encouraged.
And it explains why so many in The Community are standing by him - they don't see an issue with stabbing someone in the heart because he puts his hands on you. The way KA settled this is well within the bounds of acceptable behavior to them.
He wasn't raised in a ghetto so I really doubt your scenario.
Irrelevant. I present one study in Champaign, IL, an affluent college town, about levels of domestic violence.Quote:
Dr. Jennifer Hardesty, a professor in the department of human development and family studies at the University of Illinois, says domestic violence knows no boundaries in terms of race, ethnicity or age.
"But there's evidence that African American families can be disproportionately impacted by intimate partner violence," Hardesty said.
The number of incidents concerning Black victims is disproportionately large since the percentage estimates of the Black population in Champaign and Urbana are only 13.8% and 16.5% respectively.

Ghetto can be a mindset and doesn't have to be a certain area. His parents, for example, seem pretty ghetto to me.
Agreed, my point is posters here are saying his murderous behavior was the fault of living in a violent community which is false.

while "white Hispanic" has been a thing for a long time, you won't find the media ever making that distinction pre-Zimmerman taking out the trash
Curious if they ever use the term "black Hispanic"

Agreed, I live near Longview and it is not in the local news.

The more I think about this the more skeptical I become.
Where's the blood? Scalp wounds requiring staples bleed a LOT. Her clothes would be soaked not just lightly stained. And like previously mentioned her hair would be matted with dried blood.
What's the neck brace for? She wasn't in an accident that would necessitate a collar.
Why does she look so composed? She supposedly just got the crap beat out of her and yet her make-up still looks like it did when she went out for the evening? That's what I meant by the photos looking "off". Trauma victims are traumatized. They're angry/crying/terrified really anything but posing for calm selfie posting.
Why is she being allowed to take selfies in an active patient treatment area? One of the facebook pics shows a staff member doing something behind her. That's a major HIPAA violation and a firing offense.
