Scarborough: Trayvon Was Chased and Shot 'Because He Was Black'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

You'd think Joe Scarborough would have learned by now to avoid inflammatory statements about the Trayvon Martin case. Back when that case first broke, Scarborough immediately branded George Zimmerman a "murderer."

But there was Scarborough at it again this morning. On today's Morning Joe, he sought to contrast the Michael Brown case with that of Trayvon Martin. In Ferguson, "we don't know the evidence," said Joe. Whereas in the Trayvon Martin case, Scarborough said "you had a guy chase a guy around a neighborhood and shoot him because he was black."

Autopsy report did not list a time of death. News article reveals some interesting information about the medical examiner.

Well, Scarborough, it was either because he was black, or because there was a dead female intern in his office.

These MSNBC lie jockeys wait more than a year after the Zimmerman trial ends (Sat, July 13, 2013) so they spew the lies all over again. They know the average public has totally forgot the facts of the case. Most have forgotten that Zimmerman was found innocent of the all the charges against him. Joe Scarborough thinks it’s easy money to kick a dead horse. He is a lazy, good-for-nothing journalist who finds it easy money to fabricate the news rather than report the facts.

If I was Zimmerman, I would have a libel lawsuit against this cockroach Joe Scarborough in a hot second. Scarborough has the money and a few million in a settlement should be chump change for him.

This scarborough fool is a racist, race-baiting idiot. That said, he also has zero talent.

Martin was looking at a townhome that was recently broken into and suspiciously wasn’t in a hurry to get out of the rain. He then approached Zimmerman and circled around his truck as Zimmerman was sitting sitting in it. As Martin kept moving Zimmerman called the police and then walked to try to see where Martin had gone. Zimmerman was ambushed while he was walking. I would hardly call that chasing.

Zimmerman also passed a voice stress analysis when he was asked if he confronted Martin (Answer: No), and whether he was in fear for his life (Answer: Yes).

It’s so easy for idiots with microphones to ignore the truth.

He has to say this on MSNBC because his mother would slap him upside the head if he said it at the dinner table.

I’m constantly amazed that he has enough brain power to drive his voluntary muscle movements, let alone the autonomic functions like remembering to draw a breath. This flies in the face of facts already established in court yet he feels driven to comment with no regard for those facts.

Ramping it up before the decision in Ferguson.

They want race riots across the entire country.

They are trying to unite the violent radical blacks with the violent radical Hispanics against “the man that’s keeping them down” whites.

The radical left has dreamed for over 50 years of orchestrating a race war as a path to absolute power.

Peoples normalcy bias just wont let them accept what they are seeing.

They are all trying desperately to find another answer their minds will accept.

Problem is we’re not the people living in the cities where SHTF would take place. For the most part a lot of people living in cities are more left leaning and probably don’t have the means much less the will to fight back.

The people that do have the means and will to fight back are spread out because they are self independent and the SHTF probably wont affect them personally.

For the most part, in more rural areas people of different races get along, not so in cities.

Blacks and Hispanics are as much a part of a rural communities as Whites and they wont sit back and watch their community destroyed by a bunch of outside agitators.

For a power grab the radical left wont need violence to spread outside the cities.

Trayvon might have been accosted or even chased because he was Black. But, he was shot because he was on top of Zimmerman, banging his head against the ground.

No...No...No..Martin shot him in cold blood and then beat his own head against the pavement to cover up his crime ..

I've had people (libtards) actually tell me that..

To me at least, all bets are off, once someone starts banging your head against the pavement...

Zimmerman may have been completely in the wrong up until that moment...

After that, deadly force is completely justified...
