Zimmerman's attention had shifted from a loose pit bull to a wave of robberies that rattled the community, called the Retreat at Twin Lakes Do we know if Trayvon had visited that community before the week he was shot?

"The homeowners association asked him to launch a neighborhood watch, and Zimmerman would begin to carry the Kel-Tec on his regular, dog-walking patrol - a violation of neighborhood watch guidelines but not a crime. "So much for the Media lie that Zimmerman was a "self-appointed" neighborhood watch captain.

When acquitted a community needs to come forward and ask the Zimmerman family to consider moving to their town. If no community or it’s leaders come forward than this is truly-hate to say it-”A nation of cowards.”

Great line from the article, one that tells the story of how blacks in this country are ostracized if they don't join up with the Obama/Sharpton lynch mob:
"Let's talk about the elephant in the room. I'm black, OK?" the woman said, declining to be identified because she anticipated backlash due to her race. She leaned in to look a reporter directly in the eyes. "There were black boys robbing houses in this neighborhood," she said. "That's why George was suspicious of Trayvon Martin."
IGNORED BY THE NATIONAL AND FLORIDA MEDIA: not so much this woman's opinion on the case, but the fact that blacks who do not buy into the Obama/Sharpton lynch mob mentality are afraid to be named!

Not only is he a White Hispanic, he’s also a White Black.

"...The 28-year-old insurance-fraud investigator comes from a deeply Catholic background and was taught in his early years to do right by those less fortunate. He was raised in a racially integrated household and himself has black roots through an Afro-Peruvian great-grandfather - the father of the maternal grandmother who helped raise him...."

So now it’s a black-on-black shooting. The media can ignore it now.

Though civil rights demonstrators have argued Zimmerman should not have prejudged Martin, one black neighbor of the Zimmermans said recent history should be taken into account.
“Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. I’m black, OK?” the woman said, declining to be identified because she anticipated backlash due to her race. She leaned in to look a reporter directly in the eyes. “There were black boys robbing houses in this neighborhood,” she said. “That’s why George was suspicious of Trayvon Martin.”

The 28-year-old insurance-fraud investigator comes from a deeply Catholic background and was taught in his early years to do right by those less fortunate. He was raised in a racially integrated household and himself has black roots through an Afro-Peruvian great-grandfather - the father of the maternal grandmother who helped raise him. So, George is a white-black-hispanic. Ben Crump is greatly saddened.

Although Reuters is a usually-left-leaning outfit, this article on the whole seems balanced and neutral towards him.
Why is it that we, as Americans, now have to rely on “offshore” news organizations to offer up detailed reporting such as this?
What has happened to American journalism?

Police found Demeacis's laptop in the backpack of 18-year-old Emmanuel Burgess, police reports show, and charged him with dealing in stolen propertyTrayvon had jewelry and a screw driver in his backpack. Coincidence?
Good article until the last few sentences but I will give Reuters credit for stepping back from the koolaid stand. When can we expect this story to be picked up by CNN and the NYT?
