An Arizona shooting parallels Zimmerman/Martin

  • except the races were swapped (plus it appears the victim in this case may have been more aggressive than Trayvon, but not by much, and he was mentally challenged)
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    About 7:30 p.m., a 22-year-old man and his girlfriend ordered food at the Taco Bell drive-thru and were told to pull up while their order was prepared.

    At the same time, Adkins stepped around a corner into the path of the vehicle and angry words were exchanged between he and the driver.

    They got into an altercation and Adkins was shot once by the driver. He died at the scene.

    The driver, a 22-year-old black male, called police but has not been arrested.

    At first, the couple claimed that Adkins had a metal pipe that he swung at them -- but it turns out he was holding a dog leash with his yellow lab on the other end.

    Taco Bell Shooting Victim was Holding Leash, Not Weapon

  • If nothing else, the dude driving the car should have been arrested for taking his girl to a Taco Bell to eat.

  • Hmm, this took place on April 3rd and the shooter hasn't been arrested? Reallllllllllllllly?

    I have 3 predictions about this case:

    1. There will be no national media outcry for an arrest

    2. Neither Al Sharpton nor Jessie Jackson will be calling for justice.

    3. Obama will not appear on TV suggesting that the murder victim would have looked like his own son if he had one.

    again i'll say, we have very limited info from the press. the press does it's best to grab our attention but it doesn't give us much detail other than some of what little the cops put out there.
    i don't have a dog in the fight, so i don't care other than it's sad to see way too many young people dying, whether the shooter/stabber/beater is justified or not.

  • Cue the lefties into the thread with their little quips of why is everything jumping to conclusions before all of the facts have been determined.

    I'm still waiting for Sharpton, Obama and the mainstream media to cue up this story.

    Anyone care to predict when we should expect to hear from them?

    I'm still waiting for the libs to jump in and tell us how the non-arrest in this case differs from the Trayvon case.

    Looking back at the Martin/Zimmerman circus and the national scale it ballooned into, it must be a bit embarrassing for those who argued so vehemently about the 'injustice' to Martin and the 'wider implications' to now read this more recent story yet not hear or read a single peep uttered by the national media.

    Perhaps the throngs of Zimmerman protesters already spent all of their energy and don't have anything left in the tank for this murder case?

    Did not hear about this case. How come no major press coverage? I really have no opinion as to this one as I have only limited information on it. Like the Zimmerman case I will wait and see.

    Stank was actually ranting that NO WAY would Trayvon have NOT been arrested that night if a black guy shot a white guy.

    That just goes to show you how making assumptions and then holding onto them as maxims doesn't always work out so well when put up to the test of reality.

    I am sure he will post in this thread to explain himself.

  • My first thought is that Bill Cosby could have been speaking about this case when he made his comments about how having a gun changes the way a person acts.

    My second thought is one in which I am trying to figure out why a dude had a loaded gun in his car while going through a Taco Bell drive-thru.

    My third thought is that I wish there was a way we could skip a trial. I believe that I am becoming more of an eye-for-an-eye type guy everyday.

  • Hmm, nearly 3 weeks have gone by and still no arrest and just as puzzling, still no national media outcry, no Al Sharpton, no statement by president Obama and no torch and pitchfork bearing mobs in cities around the country demanding justice. Surely my eyes and ears must be deceiving me?

    If Obama had someone to he had to take tax money from and give it to more unfortunate ( as deemed by Obama of course) ..he would look just like Adkins and his gal ...WAIT a sec ..ADKINS is HISPANIC ...like ZIMMERMAN..he just has a traditional white guy name...OH BOY...

    WASSUP WITH all this BROWN hate ????!??!!

  • Where are the demonstrations across the country with people holding dog leashes to support the victim??

    Weird.

    C- I give you credit for posting on this topic. Still haven't heard from Morethafan to somehow come in and draw distinctions how the taco bell case is different than the Zimmerman/Martin shooting.

    If you feel that demonstrations are in order, go ahead and organize them.

    Are you interested in the actual cases, or are you interested in the way that people have responded and reacted to them?
