Leaders from the NAACP and other groups led a massive crowd through the streets of Sanford, Florida, today to demand the arrest of George Zimmerman—and deny reports of an economic boycott, the Orlando Sentinel reports. "We want an arrest, shot in the chest," chanted the crowd, which MSNBC estimated in the thousands. They stopped outside police headquarters for speeches and a benediction comparing Trayvon Martin's death to that of Jesus Christ.

Sad that a 17 yearold died,but I wouldn't compare him to Jesus Christ.I don't get why a religous person would either.Also the media frenzy is to crazy on this case.I'm getting tired of hearing about it and the lynch mob,they're trying to create.

Trayvon as a black martyr was a stretch. Trayvon as Jesus Christ is ludicrous! Not quite as ludicrous as Kanye West wearing a crown of thorns on the cover of Rolling Stone, but ludicrous just the same. This is not to suggest White Jesus is the only appropriate depiction of our Lord & Saviour. If John 3:16 is to be believed, shouldn't Jesus be omni-racial?

The comparison with Jesus is completely silly.

Yet I do believe that the NAACP should launch a boycott on this one. When a town cannot arrest its murderers in light of overwhelming evidence, something needs to change.

As someone who lives and works in Sanford--what should be boycotted?

So all it takes to be Jesus these days is to be a victim of injustice?

I'm trying to figure out what this:




has to do with anything that has been said on this thread.

People complaining about the nutty comparison to Jesus. People have the right to say all kinds of nutty stuff. It really isn't worthwhile to complain all the time. People just getting their panties in a bunch.

But it sounds like you are complaining about their complaining, which makes even less sense to me.

I am not complaining, really. I rarely make much sense, but I don't compare people to Jesus. I find it all to be over-dramatic and sensational seeking, but I don't get offended over minor stuff like this. It is all for effect. There is bigger stuff with which to sweat.
