Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, spotted Martin, began following him, and then pulled his 9-millimeter.

This makes it sound as if Zimmerman stalked Martin and hunted him down.

Zimmerman only pulled his weapon after he was knocked to the ground, had Martin straddling his chest, and Martin repeatedly pounded Zimmerman's head into the cement sidewalk.

What is that saying? Zimmerman’s lawyer saying Zimmerman was racist?

...whoever wrote the article clearly doesn’t know prosecution from defense in a court of law...either that or laziness/stupidity abounds...

Hey, if Obama had a son.......

Hmm? But he has daughters and most likely will send them to law school (for a future career in politics)...

I donated to Zimmerman. He sent me a hand written note of thanks.

Someday it’ll be on eBay.

I received one as well, but my wife inadvertantly threw it out. I might bid on it. (If my second donation doesn't also return a 'thank you.')

The defense says Zimmerman, who is white and Latino, jumped to conclusions about Martin because of his race.

The defense says no such thing.

You can't even think straight, Tina.

Now if only you, and similar other writers, were reporters for the LA Times instead of the Agendanistas who spew forth progressive propaganda & lies, the little world that is southern California would be a better, more reasoned place.

As it is, it in filled with bubble heads.

"It's bad enough they had to lose their child. It's tragic they had to assassinate his character," Crump said.

His character speaks for itself. The only thing that has been destroyed is the media's false narrative.

This is an Whorelando Slantinel article picked up by its cousin in LA.

If the Koch brothers go ahead with their purchase of the LA Times, they will probably clean house there in Orlando.

...wonder if this poor babe has any idea how stupid this article makes her sound...

...rhetoric, dear, rhetoric and intense study of grammar and composition...with a side helping of logical thinking...and then you might think about writing for public consumption...

Wait... I thought the gun was holstered, and the gun only became discovered after the struggle began and the gun then became exposed.

She forgot that part.

She was just giving us the Readers Digest version.

Space in newsprint is so valuable that facts have to be sacrificed in order to get the lies in.

The important figure to watch here is Sharpton. If you see him back away this is a lost cause he doesn’t want to be associated with.

The 'rough road' Tracy Martin is talking about is him having to get on the stand and explain under oath why he lied repeatedly to investigators about events surrounding the death of his son.

...really? Did he back away from Tawana Brawley? He knew perfectly well, as did anyone with a sentient brain cell, that it was a bunch or horse hockey...if he’d done that seems to me he’d have ended up being just another loud mouthed race activist...but he’s not, he’s, well, he’s Al Sharpton...

I’m going to go with “Freudian Slip”. A part of her knows Martin was a POS.

Great God Almighty!

What a pathetic, ill-informed, fan-the-race-flames piece of blatantly biased bullcrap!

You misunderstand Rev. Al and his motivation...it's not the "cause" it's the shakedown money he can get...

The "cause" to him is irrelevant...

Good point. I saw something on The Blaze yesterday about how he’s making his show “The Convict Zimmerman Show”. He and Jessie Jerkson (hat tip Mark Levin) played their big noisy parts at the Duke Rape Hoax, then quietly slipped out of the picture.

Maybe the LATimes wants to get sued just like NBC.
