Above is the iconic picture weve been become accustomed to seeing everywhere in the media, used to represent the recent Trayvon Martin shooting in Sanford, Florida. From everything the public has been told, Trayvon Martin was a fresh-faced, innocent looking teenager and the visage of the man who shot him, George Zimmerman, is right out of a booking photo.
The media narrative being sold is quite clear, Trayvon Martin is the innocent victim here and George Zimmerman is a horrible bigot who attacked the young man for doing nothing more than buying skittles while being black. Even Barack Obama seems to accept the fresh-faced innocence of Trayvon, stating, If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon. More on that later.
Its becoming more and more clear however that the innocent appearance the mainstream media is so desperate to apply to Trayvon isnt at all accurate. The picture were used to seeing to represent Trayvon Martin appears to be a far cry from how he actually looked once he was a few years older.

You’re welcome, RC. I promise before God that I am not interested in spreading lies.
This is an extremely serious situation, and it must be treated with absolute caution.
In theory he could have been stalking the streets at 0300 on any given day. But on 2/26/2012 he was deceased by 1930.

Sites like Free Republic can go a long way to helping people see things a little more clearly.
I hope you realize I wasn’t intending to be harsh. What I described is an epiphany we all have at some point or other. Perhaps because I have spent more time than most around leftists (was one once - of a sort) it happened for me earlier than for most.
The objective of the left is a totalitarian “welfare” state. They will stop at absolutely nothing - unless they think they can’t get away with it. I’m afraid that there is going to be major “civil unrest” within the next decade. If that happens, we can give them no quarter.
Facts of the actual 7 minute encounter are few, and are unlikely to grow, but the character issues which drove these two individuals to the face to face confrontation are worth exploring, I say.
The information I have read is that Zimmerman’s mother is from Peru, and Zimmerman speaks spanish. His father describes him as multi-racial, which cannot mean “white” in the politically correct atmosphere. Zimmerman can be correctly be described as “hispanic” or “latino.” His being Catholic would then be no surprise.
......hard to find anything that rings "true" in this story.
Dead on! Zimmerman gave a statement to the police, and the police haven't released that statement. Only Zimmerman, his lawyer, and the police know what Zimmerman's statement was. The rest of us can only speculate on what was said and who threw the first blow.
Maybe he was out there that late to sell drugs or rob an all night gas station. Maybe, he was conspiring to get another gang tattoo or more gold teeth.
These are only things that Trayvon would have known and Zimmerman as a trained officer of the neighborhood watch would have observed.
True, he could have been stalking the streets at 3 in the morning, even on 2/26. But by 7:30 pm that evening he was deceased.
The Left ‘Progressives’ jackson-lee/ellison and various names have even used the floor of the HOUSE not to mention other media and dot orgs, to bring attention to this and MOBILIZE. Using this tension as to promote (just-u-watch) their agenda further as we are being demonized. We just aren’t as good in getting action. We don’t even have a PW Caucus.
There’s a picture I havn’t seen before at the link....

Greetings Revolting cat!:
Reviewed the earlier Martin vs Zimmerman incident posts. Quite appalled over the level of abuse heaped upon you by FReepers simply for maintaining a healthy bit of skepticism.
Keep the faith,
OLA
