Trayvon Martin vs George Zimmerman Rally the Ignorant
I find this situation fascinating. The reality of one event has been skewed to the extent of generating hatred for what imo was an innocent man defending himself.
I recently found this (almost completely false) account of what happened
Martin, a 17 year old black male, walks on a Sunday night from his father's townhouse in a gated community to a store to buy Skittles and iced tea.
On the way back from the store, Martin is spotted by George Zimmerman, neighborhood watch captain on patrol.
Zimmerman calls 911 to report suspicious person; 911 operator tells Zimmerman police en route & not to pursue.
Zimmerman nevertheless pursues Martin, first in his SUV, then on foot.
Zimmerman shoots Martin in the chest 70 feet from Martin's home. Martin dies.
Several witnesses report hearing Martin cry for help before the gunshot.
Zimmerman claims self defense. Local police file no charges.

here's an image of Trayvon from 5 years ago they like to post to add to the illusion of Trayvon's innocence
Why don't they post a more recent photo? I'm sure he's had another picture more recently, right?
You know what I love to do right before I gun down an 'innocent' kid out of racial hate?? I like to call the cops. That's sarcasm in case you were wondering.
I am not sure how this happens, but George Zimmerman's family claims it was George screaming for help; and Troy Martin's family swear it was Troy screaming for help; An eye witness states they saw George calling for help and that becomes speculation? Obviously an eye-witness account TRUMPS a mother's opinion of her child.
I wish I could say to people, 'Just look at the evidence and decide', but apparently people are too idiotic, and pick and choose, especially when the media hand picks fabricated details to share, and generate the thought of a completely different situation.
Oh look here's a more recent image of Trayvon
From my research, I've developed my grey account for the events that took place. Here goes
Trayvon visits a home in a gated community with his father. Trayvon decides to go get a snack from a store not too far from the house(less than 1/4 mile), only something a confident 17 year old would do. On Trayvon's way back from the store, around 7:15pm, George see's the 6'1" 160lb guy walking through his neighborhood and doesn't recognize him, so he contacts the police. Worried about the safety of his community, follows Trayvon, first in his SUV, then on foot. At this point, Trayvon is probably getting nervous thinking 'why is this guy following me'. George finally catches up to and says something to Trayvon, my guess is 'you need to get the ______ out of my neighborhood' which Trayvon takes as a completely racists remark. The nervous tension Trayvon was feeling boils into a rage. Trayvon attacks George in his fury, and George becomes genuinely concerned for his own safety. George calls for help several times but sees no one coming to his aid. George Decides the only way to prevent serious bodily harm or death to himself, is to shoot this attacker.
Now the problem with my version is it exposes some societal flaws that are media fed. Travon's belief that he was being stalked because of his race infuriated him into attacking George. The true lesson to be learned from this is one of self control.
Now the question comes to mind, what does the media have to gain from this clear deception? Several things, actually.
1) your attention. They get paid per view, not per fact.
2) control. They've gained influence for being the authority to shed light on such an atrocity
3) more potential financial gain. I can guarantee you that the end target result is a lawsuit against the state. They are trying to use ignorant people to squeeze the government to make a nice glass of lemon aid for themselves.
The main stream media is what drove Trayvon into believing George was being racist. The concept that rich white people from gated communites are racist is constantly being pushed on our youth. And ironically, they are using a story caused by a misconception of racism to generate the illusion of racism, and perpetuate the ignorance to new heights.
If something drives you to anger, educate yourself on it before you get behind it.

Graves, The Outlaw
Today is Wednesday, October 19th
Graves was released this morning. I immediately bought him and played a game with him. My initial observation is that Grave is overpowered. The fact that people do not understand his abilities right now adds even more to his strength
Graves Abilities:
- True Grit (Passive): Graves gains increasing armor and magic resistance the longer he remains in combat.
everytime u hit something, you gain armor and magic resist, stacks up to 10 times! goes away if you're out of combat for a few seconds
- Buckshot: Graves fires three bullets in a cone damaging all enemies in the projectiles path. Enemies at close range can be hit by multiple projectiles, but each one beyond the first will deal reduced damage.
Its better to hit someone with multiple bullets because they do 100% +35% each for each additional bullet that hits, upto 170% if u hit them with all 3 O.O . This ability scales with about 80% of your bonus damage :D
- Smokescreen: Graves fires a smoke canister at the target area that deals damage and creates a cloud of smoke. Enemies inside the smoke cloud have reduced sight range and movement speed.
an AOE blind and slow. perfect for ganks, as shown in the spotlight. the amazing versatility of this ability makes graves a game changer. I think we'll see him in tournaments soon :) This ability's damage scales with ap
- Quickdraw: Graves dashes forward gaining an attack speed boost for several seconds. Attacking enemies lowers the cooldown of this skill.
how can we make an op champ even more of a nightmare? oh ya, give him an escape/chase mechanic that increases attack speed O.o. And yes, it can go through terrain
- Collateral Damage (Ultimate): Graves fires an explosive shell dealing heavy damage to the first target it hits. After hitting a champion or reaching the end of its range the shell explodes dealing damage in a cone behind the target.
This ult is just awesome. scales with ad(very high %, i think like 120%ad for initial blast, then 80% ad for cone), and is a skill shot. its designed to work perfectly against the enemy teams typical positioning, where in team fights, its best to have your tank lead in, with everyone else behind. with this u hit the tank in the face, and everyone behind him takes damage
for builds I would suggest AD, focus on bonus damage, and maybe a little attack speed to get your true grit up faster in fights. health/lifesteal is also good because the enemy team will try to focus you down if they can

UFC ULtimate fighter rigged fights? or bad reffing?
I enjoy mma. Watching the first episode of this seasons ultimate fighter right now, and I'm noticing a disturbing trend. They are ignoring the standard rules for UFC fights, and it seems like the refs are just there to determine the winner, and occasionally say 'let go of the fence'.
I found the hansen vs brimage fight extremely neglected in terms of reffing
Blatent knee to the face of a downed opponent from wiki
"A downed opponent (also called a grounded opponent) is a combatant that is on the ground, as compared to a combatant that is in a standing position. This commonly implies that the downed combatant is lying on the ground, but can technically refer to any position in which anything except the soles of the combatants feet are touching the ground."
if the ref honestly didnt see it, he was the only one there who didnt because everyone went "OOOOOOOoooo" sounded like even they were expecting the ref to jump in and take a point from Brimage, but no, he just watched like a women's basket ball ref. its so blatant it makes me wonder if the ref was coached either not to ref, or to ref one sided.
The other fights had similar situations, with knees to the groins completely ignored, and people with much worse view points of the fight than the ref seeing them with ease.
So frustrating to watch. either have rules, or don't, but pretending to have rules just makes the Good fighters lose because they are the ones following them.

Why Trolls Troll, and how to deal with them
Trolls Gonna Troll
I've been dealing with trolls lately, and I know its not good to feed trolls by paying attention to them, but I've decided to come up with ways to handle them well.
Troll, its a relatively new term. To me, it means a person who acts in a particular way for the attention it generates. But, I've started to believe its more than that.
I think that there's this fundamental drive in some trolls that makes them desire control. They want to make people mad. They're often try to appear disinterested in whatever they are trolling, and simply are there because of its trollability. They look for places where they can upset people, and then sit-back and laugh at them.
Not all trolls are devious, but I wonder if those deviants are a result of epic failure in something they tried hard at. Like people in League of Legends who start losing a lot in their ELO, and just snap. They can't bare the thought of failing while trying to win, so they take the easy route of trying to lose. They also want others to suffer like them, the frustration of loss, and the anger...
Solutions?
Delight in the suffering in others is dark... and a way to combat it is to not show frustration. Instead, show disinterest or delight. If you believe you're being trolled, simply acknowledge it in an unimpressed way. 'O great, another troll zzzzzzzzzzzz' or ' nice trolling>.> *slow clap*' are great ways to curb a trolls enthusiasm.
look out for?
Sometimes it feels like you're being swarmed by trolls. The reality is, that some people are just stupid, and enjoy regurgitating their uneducated opinions. Sometimes these idiots come in groups, with their imbecilic opinions confirmed by other nincompoops, they have trouble listening to reason. In a way, they are unintentional trolls. Getting upset with these morons does not help.
I can't pretend to be an expert on this, but this is what I do: I make a solid effort to present them with facts. they will often ignore them, but hopefully it plants a seed of truth in them, that will later turn into an epiphany.
Trolls end
The majority of gamers have become unimpressed by trolls and insta-ignore them. They're losers who forfeit their desire to win in exchange for a desire to lose. They need to find other ways to cope with defeat, and find the drive to be better. I foresee online therapy for trolls, and an ever expanding quantity of them. Yes, trolls are only going to get worse.

the Science of God
I make no claims that what I'm presenting is solid fact. I simply Offering my ideas based on my observations. I welcome any feedback and insights to help me comprehend our world.
I've often pondered the meaning of existence. For me, this is a layered question, and some of the layers are beyond my comprehension.
The first and most basic layer is why am I here, the individual. My conclusion is that this is decided by the individual. We are given the ability to choose, our choices throughout life heavily influence who we become. When we try to shift the responsibility of assigning meaning to us, we are also assigning blame. If we took no responsibility for our actions, then the ability choose would have no value, and in turn our lives would have no value. We would be merely organic machines.
What should the purpose of life be? To produce good actions. This is more complex and when I start to reach the limits of what I comprehend. The way I break it down is chaos and evil consumes, goodness creates. Another observation is that evil confuses, while good enlightens.
I could go on for hours with metaphors and still not pinpoint it, but there are good actions, evil actions and neutral actions. This is where my logic collides with traditional philosophy and religions. I think of a rock. I don't think it could be considered good or evil, simply neutral. Some actions can't be labeled good or evil, but I wonder if it's a dangerous places to spend time, where you stand between two strong opposing forces, they may both draw their line between you and them.
Why should we be good? I don't think fear should be a reason. Fear that the all powerful God will thrust us into eternal pain and suffering for not being good. Sounds like a pretty good reason, but if the reason is fear of consequences, to me the decision has little value. It is mere self preservation to concede. Are we so blind to the universal benefits that we need this threat? Does the gratification offered from evil deeds outweigh our will to be of value? Being good should be done because of a comprehension of their cosmic effect and a desire to create instead of consume.
What put us here? An UnEarthly force. Something ancient and powerful. Something that comprehends the universe far more completely than we might ever. I believe we humans may have been created for a few different reasons. One may have been simply to create intelligent life on this planet, which was teaming with primal creatures. Or maybe they saw value in the unique way the primates were developing. Maybe they saw and appreciated the family units, and the emotions developing, and wanted to integrate high functioning intelligence. And not just creating us and walking away, guiding our evolution.
When God Flooded the earth(which is a belief not limited to Christianity) he did so to cleanse the evil from it. I can only imagine the route some humanity had taken. Intelligent, cruel, stubborn, and they were all destroyed on a massive scale to clear the path for righteous generations to come.
I also believe that's what the apocalypse will be. Where the most valuable life on this planet is collected and protected, and a great deal is left to perish.
And my point isn't to create fear, just applying logic to the situation.
So that is where I'm at for the most part. I welcome enlightenment. If you see flaws in my logic please let me know. If you agree I'd love to hear it. If something seems wobbly I'm all ears. Thanks for reading this.
