I really don’t get what you’re trying to say here. It is undisputed that Martin was legally in the neighborhood, and resided (as a guest) in the neighborhood. It is entirely possible to believe that Zimmerman acted in self-defense, even though Martin was a basically good kid, who certainly does not deserve to be dead, as a result of a tragic chain of events involving poor (but not criminal*) judgment by both parties.

I don’t see how trying to dredge up dirt, or fabricate it, from either person’s background changes anything about what happened that night. I apologize if I’ve misinterpreted your intent.

* I recognize that whoever swung first committed assault, but I think we’ve all been in fights.

My point is, the media has gone to great lengths to portray Zimmerman in as bad a light as possible, while showing Trayvon as almost angelic- to the point of posting pictures that are years old. Everyone takes as gospel Trayvon was not acting suspiciously and was only targeted because he was black. But how do we know that. I’m pointing out inconsistencies that don’t make sense.

Early speculation had Martin cutting through a 'gated community' ~ and subsequently the "cut through" part has disappeared as folks realize this is a 'gated community' where the median home price is about $98,000 ~ not $750,000.

That, BTW, makes it normal to expect to find black folks in the neighborhood ~ which they happen to be.

To a degree the Far Leftwingtard argument that Zimmerman (an hispanic with black relatives) was "racially profiling' Martin was based pretty much on their mistaken understanding that this was a wealthy white neighborhood.

By now they've figured it out as well, and all that remains are the demonstrations organized by the rich white women like Sandra Fluke and her feminist agenda drones.

Will we see demands today to 'take back the night' or 'free condoms'?
