It’s also a myth what the two parties looked like. Recent picks show the story and should included in your list.

George’s picture was “whitened up” - reverse OJ - and is an unflattering mugshot from 7 years ago. Trayvon’s childhood pictures are used to make him look more innocent and non threatening.

Add the info on the stolen merchandise Trayvon had at school. Where did he get it?

>>>because it does NOT fit their political purpose

Sorry; got a “D” in college business law examination because I left out the “NOT”. Still painful to recall.

Just to add: “the media blew it?” Hardly, the media intentionally waited a month before blowing up this story. I suspect that’s because they knew how much harder it would be to debunk the story which, in reality, didn’t quite fit their needs.

But, you realize......the truth is irrelevant at this point; its all about the narrative of the white opressor/racist class in the U.S. and the innocent black man. Its all about........the 15%....... because everything in the U.S. is all about the 15%. And its all about, the poor opressed and persecuted innocent black people for whom we are all to feel regret and to aussage white guilt, whites are supposed to vote for their president to prove whites are not racists. And, if its at all possible, its about rolling back concealed carry, castle doctrine and stand your ground laws such that progress can be made in disarming the evil, racist white people.

What a friggin’ crock!

Zimmerman did retreat, after losing visual contact. Martin chose to approach Zimmerman to adminster a beating.

-- Zimmerman was not ambushed. According to his OWN statement, He and Martin exchanged words, then Martin punched him. --

Yeah, I'd change "ambushed" to "sucker punched." But all of that was at Martin's initiative, including approaching Zimmerman with the intention of administering a beating, asking "do you have a problem?" then saying "You do now!" as his slammed Zimmerman hard enough to knock him down.

There are myths, and then there are damned lies. HLN network, with its hyperventilating, attention-seeking show “hosts”— like that shrew Nancy Grace— is engaging in obscene lying.

Someone needs to file a lawsuit against those people for spreading misinformation and fanning flames of racism.

I wouldn't. If Zimmerman was walking to his car, and was surprised to see Trayvon appear all of a sudden, it's still an ambush, even though several words were exchanged before the beatdown started.

I'd change it, just to keep the subject from becoming one over the definition of "ambush." Some people will successfully change the subject from Martin's savage depravity, to whether or not a person who is aware you are there can be ambushed.

But again, we do not want the facts interfering with the story. Nor their agenda. Their agenda? 1. Repeal Florida's”Stand Your Ground Law”. 2, Repeal Florida's Concealed Carry Law. 3. Repeal of the “Stand Your Ground” Laws of each State that has them. 4. Repeal the Concealed Carry Laws of each State that has them. That in and of itself is not surprising to me. what is surprising to me is the support, intentional or unintentional they are getting from members of this forum.

Uh-oh.

The media was so full of lies, and the truth of Zimmerman’s counter-claims would be so easy to prove, I presumed his lawyer and the police department were telling the truth. Only a fool makes easily disproven lies. Or someone with the media able to cover up their lies for them. But this does not look like a man who had been recently having his head smashed in:

Thanks for that link.

I hope you can post articles about that or that article.

They tortured and raped that couple for 2 days and then brutally murdered them. And the media didn’t report that story because the perpetrators were black and the victims white.
