Skillets!

[TalonStrike]

Every day he talks about the story of Trayvon Martin, a young African-American, who was shot dead by a racist cop. Trayvon was holding a bag of Skittles when he was shot. Every day, Al Sharpton exclaims "How can the cop claim self defense? Trayvon was only holding a bag of skillets!" How can Sharpton be unaware of the candy named "Skittles"? Why has no one at MSNBC corrected him? He mispronounces it every day!

If someone approached me with a bag of skillets, I'd be afraid too!

Lol, so he did have a weapon on him after all. Should have used the skillets to defend himself.

10:17 'I Tea and skillets'

Man Sharpton is starting to look old..

no shit. those cast iron skillets are heavy!

 

[manimal]

Dual weilding skillets could be a good Wow build.


seriously though so what if he has a problem with a word of two. You should have met some of my aunts from the old country. Kitchen and Chicken were the same words and freeway was something akin to fritolay.

"unless I.T. and skillets are considered a threat."

As a programmer, I can attest that both I.T. and skillets are threatening. Could you imagine how strong he must have been? Holding up an entire bag of heavy skillets with only one hand. My god...

Am I the only one who can't stand Al Sharpton and the likes?




I guess that makes me wacist.

I watched the first "skillets". Are the second and third when he is reading off a teleprompter? Could just be a typo that he didn't correct while reading.

If someone were to try and correct the people on MSNBC each time they said something stupid, the entire broadcast would be a set of corrections. Better to let the idiots continue to talk. Mixing up skillets and skittles is actually one of the less stupid things Sharpie says.

He really said he was holding a bag of "Skrillex"

I think that's because he lost so much weight. Bill Clinton looked like hell when he was losing weight as well, and he didn't lose anywhere near as much as Sharpton did.

So why would a black guy at night be walking down the street with a skillet in his hand???

He was holding an entire bag of skillets to my understanding.

Your profile pic is awesome for this thread.

I love it when the spelling police pervert another thread.

Its so helpful to help us avoid us confronting unpleasant facts.

We should of known the REV AL was the root cause in the Trevan Martin Suicide. And that Zimmerman has saved us all from being bopped over the head with cast iron Skillets.

Yah hooray for the anand tech spelling police, its the only magic spell that matters. As the spelling police once again put things into a clearer perspective. Oh Magoo, they did it once again.

 

[corwin]

You're bagging on him saying skillets and completely overlooking that he's claiming it was a cop

Well, I guess skillets is funnier

LOL Good catch. Sharpton is many kinds of crazy, but I don't find it terribly odd that an old man who's probably diabetic isn't up on the exact names of various candies. And you're right, skillets is funnier. Um, are funnier.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

Cast iron skillets can be lethal

Same with Faux news. Both have their own agenda.

But what I want to know about is the discrepancy...
The media say this kid had a drink and candy in his hands.
The guy that shot this kid claims this kid hands were stuck down in his waste or pants.
So what is it???? Did the kid have like four hands?
Was his hands in his pants or holding a drink and candy?

Did the kid know someone in or live in the said gated coimmunity?

If the 911 sounds are of the kid yelling in fear, that doesnt sound like an aggressor.
That sounds like someone in fear.
Was the security guard heard yelling in fear also?

Just the facts ... ma'am.

Unfortunately that goes at least double for Fox News reporters.... with the possible exception of Sheppard Smith.

This is why you should go to other sources... maybe bbc world news or reuters

Stay away from U.S. news sources they've been corrupted by idiotitis.
