Fox tv station in Miami just reported a bunch of students have walked out of class to protest the shooting of Trayvon Martin.
Tell me where I got it wrong then? Most here can see that this thug was no innocent victim.
The MSM are loving this. First they get to spew agitprop and help incite what will no doubt turn into race riots, and then they’ll get to cover the *spontaneous* race riots showing how “racism is still a problem in America.”
Interesting.
The eye witness does not say he saw the beginning of the fight. That leaves questions.
I checked my white guilt account this morning. Balance: $0.
Great post. Will certainly NOT be spread by the MSM.
Let me guess -- there are Holder's people?
Now what I've heard so far is that Zimmerman was wrong. I'm trying to get a friend online (who lives in Sanford) to ask if he knows more about the details.
And how do they propose to accomplish that? Beat on his door and get shot? Accost him somewhere and get shot? lol

Since you feel compelled to post this bit over and over, how about you write a little bit about the actions that led to that circumstance (assuming that the unidentified witness actually said this).
Start with Zimmerman following a totally innocent teen-ager in his car, then getting out to follow him on foot....

Nice perspective you have there....
Some of us see it that Zimmerman would have been better off if he had left the innocent kid alone.
I guess you have your prioities though.
No suspects have been arrested in either case. When/if they are, it is doubtful that any of the suspects will try to claim that their actions are justified or that the injured party(ies) deserved either act.
IF they do claim their actions were justified,
and IF the police agree with them and let them go,
and IF the DA reviews the police decision and declines to press charges,
and IF there is no public outcry as a result,
THEN you will have a valid point about the lack of coverage.
Until all of those things happen, you're comparing apples and oranges.
In the Martin/Zimmerman case, the whole argument revolves around whether or not Martin did something to warrant injury and that argument is ongoing and extremely volatile which unfortunately makes it newsworthy.
Doesn’t fit into the media’s agenda, they are still calling this guy Zimmerman “White” he is NOT white, he is Hispanic, the media never reports on the other hate crimes perpetrated on whites, doesn’t fit into their little narrative that white people are evil
OK...since I just learned more about the case in your single post than I have in 3 days of watching NBC, can you tell me if Trayvon’s family live in the gated community? Was he visiting a friend that lived there?
To grieve.
Over a dead teen.
in Miami.
That would be a full-time job.
Before this goes too far in rehashing the Civil Rights struggle, people would be advised to review the 2010 killing of a white vet, David James, in 2010 by a black retiree, Trevor Dooley. In short, James was playing basketball in a park with his young daughter when Dooley came out of his house across the street and into the park, yelling at a skateboarder and armed with a pistol. James intervened and was killed by Dooley. Dooley was never charged even though self defense was very questionable. TBO has numerous articles in September 2010.
Nonsense. The whole thing is about a white (hispanic) man killing a black one. Justification or not is peripheral at best to the coverage. It is all about an opportunity for blacks (who apparently go around desperately searching for things to be offended by) to vent their phony synthetic outrage at the killing of an (alleged) thug.
Here, instead of swallowing all the garbage fed to you by the mainstream media, try taking in a little extra nutrition.
Zimmerman MAY be guilty of a crime, but that is not for you, or Al Sharpton, or the Obama asskissing media in Florida to determine.
I am sick of people believing the race baiting HYPE.
