We are witnessing the hatred being ginned-up by obama, sharpton, jackson, lee and others. They have formed a lynch mob and aim to have their kind of justice served. Their hatred os white people is palpable.

These leaders of hate along with Obama have set race relations back 30 years. The really sad thing is this is what they want. Their power and his presidency depend on racial hatred. These types of actions are explained in Saul Alinsky's "Rules for radicals." During the cold war and after this is also typical communist agitprop (agitation and propaganda). Our black leaders in this nation are mainly socialists or Marxists. Our president is a Marxist.

What is happening is by design and not default.

We do have some courageous black leaders, Larry Elder, Colonel Allen West now Representative Allen West, Thomas Sowell etc. These black leaders have been singled out by the left for extreme criticism and are ostracized by the media. The Main Stream Media silences the conservative blacks by totally ignoring them unless it is something that would damage them as the case with Cain.

And you know what gets me is all these celebs and idiots doing this “hoodie march” or wearing a “hoodie” have no idea WHY a hood is worn. Because when someone is committing a crime, they don’t want to be ID-ed! From the Una-bomber to bank robbers, to shooters, the hood is used to hide ones face. This isn’t a fashion statement, it’s a freakin’ tool used by crooks.

Such as this guy trying to rob a jewelery store who got his ass handed to him....

Any cab driver in any city is not going to pick up someone wearing a hood like that. Same with anyone working in a store or bank, they see someone walk in wearing a hood, immediately it brings up a red flag.

“You really want 1000 blacks walking down your street??”

Nope. Not me. I ride the subway once in awhile and flame me all you want: which ethnic group causes more crap on the train on a summer afternoon? Based on my experience, it’s NOT the latinos, Asians, whites.

Ok...we need to stop posting that graphic of Martin and Zimmerman being used by all media outlets. It is patently false and biased.

Here is a more accurate representation of the two men at the time of the incident. Why aren't these photos being used?

Yes and I’ve yet to see any truly current pictures of Trayvon. I believe it is a tragedy but the uproar is being fed unconscionably. If Trayvon did indeed attack Zimmerman while he was returning to the vehicle then the people who should be answering for his death are those that elevate thug culture to being “black culture”. We see it all the time. People getting killed because they ‘dis-respect’ the brother which is really the problem the black community faces. They should be marching not to get justice or respect they should be marching to challenge themselves and their children to be respectful and not be stupid violent in the face of every perceived slight.

It appears what happenned was that Trayvon was bashing Zimmerman’s head into the ground (this is confirmed by the injuries recorded in the police report) Zimmerman’s shirt came up revealing his weapon tucked in his belt, Trayvon went for it and they struggled and Zimmerman shot him.
If there is evidence that Zimmerman initiated the attack there may be negligence on his part but he doesn’t deserve to go to prison because he was defending himself from an attack. If we allow a man to suffer what is quickly becoming a case of reverse racism.

I pointed out a while back that a victim could end up being prosecuted for a hate crime and this case is begining to look like that could happen. George Zimmerman could end up facing charges and additional penalties just because he got in a scuffle with a person of the wrong race.

Actually this interview has been public for a couple days— I think a Fox affiliate in Tampa originally posted it. Naturally, every time I refer someone in the Zimmerman lynch mob to it, they claim that it’s bogus and that there are “other” witnesses who say the exact opposite.

I am hispanic and “white”-AKA Caucasian. With all due respect-”hispanic” is an ethnic group-not a race-most hispanics are white, but some are black-like those with ancestors from the Carribean islands and parts of South America. Some are also Asian-from the Phillipines and other islands in that area of the South Pacific .

There are only three known races of humans-caucasian (white), mongoloid (asian) and Negroid (black). Hispanic is only a “race” in the minds of the driveby media and idiot politicians...

It is certainly true that the photoes of Martin show a boyish looking middle schooler, when actually he was 17-18 years old. Apparently he weighed about 200 lbs and was 6 feet tall.

17-18 really? Well tecnically he was somewhere between his 17th and 18th birthdays, But accurately he was 17 years and 3 weeks. He was killed the same month he turned 17. And the police report has him 6' and 160lbs - skinny.

“The one fact we know - one young man is dead.”

The other fact we know is that the young man was in that place because he had been suspended from school.

Question...where was this in relation to Zimmerman’s car...because two story’s..Zimmerman follow Martin= away from car...Zimmerman started to follow then stop and was returning to car when Martin jump him=near or next to car....either way i find it hard to believe what seem to be an in shape Martin could not just run away from and what seem to be a rather pudgy Zimmerman ...at best both party chose a confrontation that Zimmerman started ...at worst Zimmerman started but then broke off a confrontation....and then Martin chose to start one

“What about Hispanic forums? Anything?”

Wrong surname to get all worked up over.

He had $22 cash on his person. Maybe the MSM will gin up a story that Zimmerman was trying to rob Martin at gunpoint. As long as they’re lying, might as well go “all in.”

You are correct about the hoodies-even whern I was a teen, descriptions of robbers on the 10 o’clock news often included hooded sweatshirts/jackets, sometimes in combination with a ski mask. Those are two articles of clothing that aren’t usually worn in warm weather or indoors by those with innocent intentions...

“Let the police handle it.”

Your neighborhood has obviously not been victimized by a spate of robberies. Ours was several years ago and the neighbors got together. Nary a stranger walks by now without one of the neighbors engaging in a friendly get to know you chat and the tags of strange vehicles are always jotted down. Funny thing—no burglaries for the last three years. Oh, and did I mention that the average response time by police has been somewhere between 40 min. and an hour? “Aint nobody watchin’ out for us but us.

There is not, to my understanding, any witness that says he or she saw Martin attack Zimmerman. In fact, Zimmerman himself told the 911 dispatch that he was following Martin.

We have a fellow who saw them fighting on the ground. He then locked his door and called 911. By that time Zimmerman had shot Martin, so that witness, otherwise known as "the secret witness" (who's been known about since February 27, the day after the shooting) didn't even see the shooting ~ just the aftermath!

-- If there is evidence that Zimmerman initiated the attack there may be negligence on his part but he doesn't deserve to go to prison because he was defending himself from an attack. --

If Zimmerman initiated a physical altercation, he loses the self-defense argument. A person who starts a fight can't escalate force and claim self defense as a justification.

Your point well taken here.

I concede that the time differential is extreme in your case. I know when I was security at a large mall, the police took always at least 20 minutes. I learned later through the grapevine, the local gendarmes would deliberately wait,cos the matter had then died down nine times out of ten. (I can still laugh).

That is a speculative headline. Sure, Mr. Martin could have attacked Mr. Zimmerman, and the witness could have told the cops that he saw Mr. Martin attack and instigate the altercation.

But the video news report you posted proves none of that.

It merely points out during the course of the fight, Mr. Martin was on top of Mr. Zimmerman from the witness. That's it, it does not prove that Mr. Martin 'attacked' Mr. Zimmerman.

Overall, Mr. Zimmerman will be proven innocent unless he changes his testimony or forensics prove otherwise. As of now, everything is speculative.
