We are just hearing excerpts of a neighbors 911 call with whomever the victim is crying aloud for help in the background. Currently no one has all the facts on this tragic incident. Will you be publicly apologizing if the facts come out and do not support your claim of a cold blooded, racist, murder?
Glenn noted that no evidence that he has seen points to Martin as having been the aggressor. [BUT] “They don’t care about the facts. All they care about is can I use it to further my own agenda.” Glenn said.
Wow, someone really got Glenn. Reading Rat talking points straight, even when they are openly contradictory.
What a shame. They got him, and they got Coulter, too.
Why don't you have the decency to just retire, Glenn, instead of now actively promoting evil? Or is that their price, too?
So much for fighting back, eh?
I tried posting this last night as a vanity but it didn’t get through so I’ll try posting in an existing thread. I’m not trying to start anything or troll. Basically, I’m pretty baffled by many FReepers’ reactions to the Zimmerman/Martin case so I wanted to hear people’s opinions on the following entirely hypothetical scenario that has absolutely nothing to do with recent events:
This is a circumstantial case that basically comes down to whom FReepers are most willing to give the benefit of the doubt to:
Character A: Violent criminal record; history of overreacting; armed
Character Z (by which of course I mean zed): No criminal record; suspended for tardiness; Skittles
A is “patrolling” the neighborhood in his car. Z is returning to his father’s house (in which he does not usually reside) from the local gas station because he wanted candy during the NBA All Star Game half time break (yeah, I know, who watches the NBA All Star game, or any All Star game for that matter? but still...).
A follows Z in his car because he suspects him of wrongdoing. The only reasons that A suspects Z of wrongdoing is that Z is wearing a hoodie. A, subsequently exits his car and proceeds to follow Z on foot, despite the 911 operator’s instruction that A “doesn’t need to do that”.
Police officers arrive on the scene to find that Z is dead of a bullet wound to the chest caused by A’s weapon. A has grass stains on his back and a bloody nose which he claims he received in a fight initiated by Z. A claims that he shot Z in self defense.
Putting aside any considerations of race/politics for a minute,
1) Who, if anyone, is morally responsible for Z’s death?
2) Who, if anyone, is legally responsible for Z’s death?
3) What is the obligation of the local police force in investigating this incident?
Who is the racist?
The poor hispanic bastard or his white sounding name?
I hope the rank-n-file are getting a good eyefull of the MSM and our so called conservative leadership.
Witch hunts are us. No trial necessary.
While Geraldo blames the tragic death of Trayvon Martin on his mode of dress, I believe there is another element that the MSM will studiously ignore.
Barack Obama has done more to divide this nation along racial lines than anything I can remember. “African Americans for Obama”, “Hispanics for Obama,” “Martians for Obama”, etc., etc... are just part of it. This guy’s efforts to take us the rest of the way to communism have angered many of those who may already harbor latent or outright racist tendencies.
While Obama’s anti-American behavior has little to do with his race, there are unbalanced folks out here who DO read race into that behavior. Once they cross that threshold, their warped minds can justify nearly any act, up to and including the killing of an unarmed black boy walking through his neighborhood. I fear there is more — and worse — to come.
Barack, some of Trayvon Martin’s blood — and the blood of future black and white victims of your racism — is on YOUR hands.
The paranoid busybody, complete with a pierced ear was stalking the teen, first in a vehicle and then on foot - possibly brandishing a weapon. The teen was aware of the fact he was been followed and probably believed he was about to have his asshole violated in a secluded yard by an armed homosexual.
When the busybody attempted to detain the teen, he fought back resulting in his eventual shooting.
Certainly not a premeditated murder, but I would like to see this paranoid aspiring rent-a-cop out of circulation for a good long time. I think most men and boys confronted by a situation where they perceived a queer to be stalking them would administer a beat down.

It seems that further revelations may support the notion that the person being physically assaulted and heard crying out for help in the neighbors 911 call may indeed turn out to be Zimmerman - good thing everyone’s waiting for all the facts to emerge prior to passing judgement...
(P.S. If anyone with the ability to use the ‘Click to Add Topic’ feature at the first post could please do so - such as ‘news’ or ‘fl’, etc. - it would be GREATLY appreciated, as it seems someone has removed all of them so as to bump the topic from those cycles? Thanks!~)
George Zimmerman’s close family friend is none other than CNN’s Joe Oliver:

As referenced by Mr. Oliver, will Obama decry the New Black Panther’s $10,000 ‘Dead or Alive’ bounty for George Zimmerman:
Considering the unfortunate divisive nature of Obama/his administration, as opposed to ‘uniter’, don’t hold your breath:
Perhaps former NAACP leader C.L. Bryant has it right:
Will Glenn Beck now step back/up?
