Or did you mean that they've apparently used an old picture from Jon Benjamins weed possession sentencing instead of one from Zimmermans trial?

| Is the mistake that the guards/cops are black and the "perp" is not black (is he white though?)? |

Com'on man. I'd expect you to know better.
AP style doesn't use the serial/Oxford comma.
Actually, it's being eliminated altogether:

| That's a stupid rule, regardless of whoever is doing away with it. Saying I like x, y and z just sounds wrong. Y and Z are't one thing, so they should be separated. |

Oh god damn, I have sinned. I clicked the button. You know I can't help seeing russie trying to defend himself.
The word 'and' is separating them, silly. It's called an conjunction.
It is like if I were to say 'You and I should gay it up together'
There's no comma there. You don't say 'You, and I, should gay it up together'. You only need commas where you don't have a conjunction.

Also you're a moron. That's a completely misguided example, as it only lists 2 things, not three. It would be like saying "I like pizza, sandwiches and ice cream." Do you like three separate things, or pizza and then sandwiches with ice cream?
Please stop trying to correct native English speakers on grammar. Your grasp on English is tenuous at best and it makes you look like an utter buffoon even more than usual. |
