Trayvon Martin Case: Media Ignores Zimmerman's Side of the Story
Brian Koenig ^ | 3/27/12 | Brian Koenig

Al Sharpton thinks George Zimmerman should be lynched and then strung up so blacks and white liberal apologists can stick plastic forks into his so-called "cracka" ass -- or something to that extent. Maybe that's a little dramatic, but it's not too far off.

The reason this story is even a story is obvious: Trayvon Martin was black and Zimmerman is a white Hispanic, as the New York Times indicates. Zimmerman's father is white and his mother is Hispanic. I guess that makes him white -- even though Barack Obama is considered black. It's all very confusing.

Anyways, the media brushes over this part:

The Orlando Sentinel reported that Zimmerman told police he lost Martin in the neighborhood he regularly patrolled and was walking back to his vehicle last month when the youth approached him from behind.

The two exchanged words, Zimmerman said, and Martin punched him, jumped on top of him and began banging his head on a sidewalk. Zimmerman said he began crying for help; Martin's family thinks it was their son who was crying out. Witness accounts differ, and emergency tapes in which the voices are heard are not clear.

I suppose liberal-authored stories are so much better when it involves some "white" guy unprovokingly killing a black "child."

Somebody packaged this narrative for the media before inconveniently finding out that George was Hispanic.

If Trayvon had managed to keep pounding Zimmerman’s head against the sidewalk until he was dead, it wouldn’t have made the news at all (maybe a short item in the local paper). A few local residents might have noticed that some pieces of jewelry were missing.

That's not the only inconvenient finding.

Trayvon started the fistfight. He closed distance with Zimmerman, and sucker punched him. Then was giving him a beat down, including smashing Zimmerman's head into the ground (which might have been pavement). Zimmerman was overwhelmed with force and surprise.

And so, the outcry is "poor poor Trayvon."

Yeah, a "child" indeed!

A child does not carry stolen jewelry and a screwdriver in his book bag, or a baggie with marijuana residue.

A lot of people are making a big deal out of the hoodie. Funny. Every time I go into my bank I see a sign making it very clear that hoodies are not allowed inside. I wonder why! /s

I heard this Trayvon is 6’5”. Zimmerman looks Latino. No doubt about it. Trayvon OTOH has gangsta tatoos, has photos of smirks and wearing the gold grills in his teeth. Tweeting with a handle containing the “N” word, etc. I hope Obama chokes on his son’s legacy.

All that bolded part is intended to sow doubt. But, if Martin has the superior position, if Zimmerman has been overwhelmed by force, then it's obvious which of the two is hollering for help. Using the race-baiter's form of logic, Trayvon!

Wonder what BO’s reaction would be if one of his girls brought this sort of thug home to meet the parents? We can only HOPE!

That was a secondary function of the skittles and iced tea; to retard Trayvon's escape from the fire-breathing and enraged Zimmerman.

"...Martin's family thinks it was their son who was crying out..."

WRONG!

According to original police reports Trayvon's father said it was NOT his son's voice calling for help

what the hell kind of name is Trayvon anyway?

You might as well name him "aintgonnabeabankpresident martin" or shoneequa "ghettowhore" soandso...

I've wondered why it took a couple of weeks for this story to hit the fan.

Very curious indeed.

Why, Obama would jump with joy, for he would be looking at an embodiment of the son he never had.

Did anyone else watch that black lady speaking about Trayvon in congress on C-Span this morning? It was the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. Don't lock your car doors when young black boys walk by, don't cross the street when a group of black boys is approaching you. We make black kids go home and cry in their beds when we treat them like that. We need to love these poor black kids. I'm not sure if she was a member of congress but I am 100% sure she is an idiot.

You don’t think Bammy would put up with it, to get some street cred?

Maybe the Martin family has French Creole or Haitian ancestry and they just thought that Traybon would be a tres bon name for their son.

Tonight, FOX has actually updated their photos of both involved, instead of mug shot and an innocent 12 year old.

Indeed. I'm betting the Whitehouse / Media Matters thought they had the perfect script. Being the Whitehouse, they ran with the story before checking. Now the MSM is having to invent a new term "white hispanic" to try and tweak the narrative. Can you imagine the firestorm if Zimmerman was a Tea Party member instead of a Democrat (oops! another Whitehouse blunder).
