“senior analyst with the liberal activist group Media Matters” this line gave me a chuckle :)

Senior analyst is the pc title for “lead bullsh*tter”.

The first time I saw the pictures the MSM was running of Martin I knew they were not of a 17 year old. Is the MSM trying to start a race war to keep Obama in office, or do they just like making black folk look foolish?

The story is saying that the picture on Michelle Malkin’s website, purported to be an older Trayvon, shirtless flashing gang signs was not actually Trayvon. Does anyone know for sure?

Maybe now they’ll issue an apology to Zimmerman.

He is being tried by the media, with little evidence available.

That particular picture is not Trayvon Martin. It’s a different Treyvon martin.

The gold teeth pic is him.

Zimmerman is a Democrat and is completely innocent of any crime. The vicious little thug died in hand-to-hand combat going for Zimmermans gun.

Just another preprogrammed Democrat party propaganda show, similar to the fake Fluke hystrionics and years in advance planned attempt to silence conservative talk radio.

More media dog and pony shows yet to come.

“The first time I saw the pictures the MSM was running of Martin I knew they were not of a 17 year old.”

That’s like me reading about this online and Zimmerman being called “white,” then turning on the tv news and seeing he was actually Hispanic. I literally gasped.

Apparently “done more to debase American news coverage than anyone in history of country” and “oops, never mind, yeah he got it right” is a pretty fine line.

I don’t know for sure, but the pic of the kid flipping the double bird didn’t look like Martin imo.

The dart board picture is for sure Trayvon. It's the avatar from his deleted Twitter account.

More interesting is the background photo Trayvon chose to set the tone for his execrable Twitter presence:

Dat dude be rapper Corey Miller, aka C-Murder, who is doing life without parole for beating up and shooting to death 16-year-old Steve Thomas in 2002 at a night club in Harvey, Louisiana. Quite the role model for the up and coming gang banger!

So, now we know from where young Trayvon was coming when he asked the Neighborhood Watch guy if he had a problem, the Neighborhood Watch guy said, "No", and Trayvon, feeling his oats, said, "You do, now!" Excellent last words!

I don’t know that he was a vicious little thug.

But we can’t allow this horrible death to be used as an excuse to disarm us.

From his picture. There is a mark (it looks like a scar)across his left eyebrow. There are other defining marks too.

Actually, IMHO, a little of both. It's the typical leftist MO and it's been going on for over 100yrs. For example, I belong to the Mailhandler's Union, a spin off of LIUNA. To make a very long story short, this union has it's origins in what was called The Alliance, a union of Black RR mail clerks and porters formed around 1900. The reason they organized was not only for better working conditions and to protect themselves from the Vanderbilts and other eeeevil RR barons, but also, and this is a dirty little secret, the White socialists who were at the forefront of the labor movement at the time wanted nothing to do with them, or any other Black laborers. They were every bit as racist as the klan. It wasn't until decades later, with the encouragement of Joseph Stalin, did the commies realize the untapped propoganda potential of exploiting the, as it was called back then, "Negro situation". Since then they became experts at duping college students and other useful idiots to be "down with the struggle" while pretending to give a sh*t about the downtrodden.

It was not a “horrible death” if he was on top of Z, bashing his skull against the ground. People get killed that way. “Stand your ground” is moot if you are on your back getting beaten into unconsciousness or death.

I've probably missed it, but I haven't seen a lot of discussion about why Zimmerman's lawyer seemed to take Stand Your Ground off the table. At first, that had a bunch of people scratching their head since it seemed like an important and beneficial statute -- but the lawyer indicated that they would not use it.

Of course, as you say, no one needs Stand Your Ground if they are flat on their back, getting their head smashed. In that situation, the shoot can easily be seen as righteous by any rational human.
