From what I understand, Zimmerman was pushed down and getting beaten up for asking what Martin was doing. Hardly a fair reaction I think. But then again, there seems to be a extremely strong media bias in this case, so as I said, I'll wait for the facts to be presented in court. |

Neighborhood watches are good things, they are not armed response, they are eyeballs and 911 dialers - people like Zimmerman just destroy their usefulness.

From an article about Zimmerman's relationship with the neighborhood watch coordinator of the Sanford police department:

Also. The way you describe the situation makes it sounds like Zimmerman was acting cordially. The transcript from the police call from that night hardly suggests that. Quote:
Also. Zimmerman's story is that Martin was actively bashing the back of his head against fucking concrete multiple times before Zimmerman was tragically forced to shoot the kid. I find this hard to believe, firstly, because it seems highly unlikely you'd be able to do much of anything after getting your head bashed into concrete multiple times. And secondly, a recipient of a serious curb stomping is not what the back of Zimmerman's head looks like. He has bleeding on the back of his head, but no visible swelling or serious abrasions you'd expect from getting grounded on pavement.

It all come down to the fact does a young black male have the right to walk down a "safe gated community" without fear of people coming up to harass him by perceiving him as a threat.

Getting Japan to Spend
Consumer spending is on the rise in Japan after years of deflation. Still most of the effects are at the top of the income distribution where the benefits of a weaker yen have stimulated export growth and a rise in stock prices. Quote:

Ya know, if an armed dude stalked me in middle of the night in a car for a while, and then got out and approached me, and made verbal accusations, I'm pretty sure I would be defensive. And pretty frightened tbh. And I'm preeeety sure he was rather offensive in the argument that took place, considering his motivation seemed to be founded on profiling.

Thrift is one thing, but deflation carries a different set of problems. People refrain from spending today, not necessarily because they prefer savings over consumption, but because they have an incentive to postpone purchases in anticipation of prices being lower in the future. Moreover, savers were rarely rewarded over the past decade. Japanese interest rates have hovered just above zero for quite some time and have actually been zero for about a year now. Many economists believe a small amount of inflation, like the 2% target that Abe has set, is needed to change consumers' incentives and stimulate economic growth.
