It happened at a Taco Bell. The Hispanic named Daniel Adkins walking his dog was shot and killed by the 22 year old black guy in his vehicle. He told the cops that Adkins went after him so he claimed self defense. Since Arizona has a 'Stand Your Ground' Law, no charges have been filed against the 22 year old black who was cruising around with a loaded gun. One thing about the article that I noticed and that is the media has started using the term to describe Hispanics as 'White Hispanics' like they did with Adkins in the article you will read below. Hispanics are not white like Jews are not white. Since the media jumped the gun and assumed that George Zimmerman was white because of his name, they are changing tactics in their reporting and calling all Hispanics, white Hispanics after their false premature assumption. This has got to stop and we need to pay close attention to this case as it parallels the Martin/Zimmerman case. Adkins parents are DEMANDING justice like Trayvon Martins parents were. Update: If you read the comments section in the link below, Daniel Adkins sister has posted a comment about the situation. She's very upset.

There's a few things wrong with your OP. 1. There's nothing in your link article about this being a SYG case. 2. White Hispanics refers to people who are 50% White and 50% Hispanic (as I am also) 3. Jude was finally indicted on July 27. The trial, is set for August 14,
Hispanic is not a race. There are Hispanics of various races. Hadn't you noticed that Sammy Sosa doesn't look much like Cameron Diaz?
There also Africans of different races, its the most racially genetically diverse place on earth. So, Obama being half white, and half African makes him white African?
That's debateable. Many people do consider Hispanic to be a race, which is a mixture of southern White European (from Spain) and American Indian. My maternal grandparents are from Belize (formerly British Honduras) in Central America, and speak Spanish. They would be considered Hispanic (or Latino). Some Hispanics (notably those from the West Indies islands) are mixtures of white European (Spanish) and Black. But this is getting too far from the topic >> Cordell Jude shooting of Daniel Adkins. http://beforeitsnews.com/scandals/2...-the-reverse-trayvon-martin-case-2431666.html
No it makes him of mixed race. Hispanic is not a race. What don't you understand? - - - Updated - - - It's Mello, and Touché! - - - Updated - - - That ignore the fact that one can be pure Spanish European ancestry and be hispanic. Or portuguese even.
Yelling at someone or shaking your fist is not reason enough to shoot, especially when you're protected in a car, where you can simply drive away and the other guy is on his feet. If theres proof the guy was beating on the window with a bat, THAT's reason enough to feel threatened, but shoot. Not sure. Too many details unanswered.
It ignores it on purpose because pure Spanish European ancestry is not "Hispanic". Hispanic is Latin-AMERICAN or Latin-AMERICAN ancestry.
From what I've heard this guy doesn't have a prayer with a self-defense claim. Adkins did not have a weapon, he was mentally disabled, he didn't touch Jude or the car, there was no attack, and Jude could have just rolled up his window or drove off. If/whenever Jude is convicted (as he probably should be) what a hoot it will be if Blacks all over the country start whining about this one too, when it's clear that self-defense is a joke. Maybe someday they'll start using the facts of the case to determine their perspectives.
The Spanish-speaker commonly associated with illegal aliens are called "mestizo". Their DNA reflects 80% central American Indian, 10% White, 10% Black. Later from 500K freed slaves who breed with Indians. These mestizos average IQ is 85-87. They have brought nothing but crime, filth, and decay. Everything they touch turns to crap. Obsolete for success in high tech society. And they are considering legislation that could add millions more via family chain migration. Insanity!
Simply fiction. Hispanic is from the word Hispania, the roman name for the entire Iberian peninsula. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic I'm not sure why you felt the need to fabricate a meaning for the word. As if we don't have the Internet?
Simply fact >> "The term "Hispanic" is broadly used to refer to the culture, peoples, or nations with a historical link to Spain. The term is commonly applied to those countries which were once colonized by Spain, particularly the countries of Latin America, which were colonized by Spain." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic
Which is very different than this: "It ignores it on purpose because pure Spanish European ancestry is not "Hispanic"."
No, it's not different from that at all. Pure Spanish ancestry is one thing. Culture, peoples, or nations with a historical link to Spain is another, PS - the topic is the shooting of Daniel Adkins. From this point on, I'm going to stay on the topic. If you want to wander over other topics throughout the thread, that's not my problem.
