.. was stalked by George Zimmerman, a non-Black neighborhood watch captain armed with a 9 millimeter handgun and a head full of stereotypes about African-American males.

Is non-Black a step up or a step down from white-Hispanic on the Outrage Scale™ ?

It's all sooo confusing !

Yet another random shooting involving a young, black gangsta poser. As a law abiding, white square, I have to say that you’re right—it really stuned my beeber Madison.
Hey look—a chipmonk!

I have taken to watching HLN network for a while each evening to hear Nancy disGrace and Dr. Drew and some other wall-eyed host of theirs.

I cannot tell you how many times these people have lied, saying, “the police told Zimmerman not to follow Martin.” It’s a lie. None of them, apparently, have bothered to read the documents available— sort of like the Supreme Court justices today.

The truth doesn’t fit the narrative. Please move along, nothing to see here.

Probably because this is the ONLY thing some people are reading and believing. It’s a “must read” so that you can talk facts when others are disseminating falsehoods. While I don’t believe we are going to change minds we need to know what is inciting the other side.

I’m saying all this without knowing “all” the facts myself. But at least I’m informed and know where the issues are and realize that the story here does not contain all the facts but only those that put one party in a favorable context...and the other in a damning context.

This is satire?

Shouldn’t it be marked as humor/satire? It better be satire, and if so should be marked as so! This story is giving me a headache!

Precisely why is this a "must read"?? This is apparently just another attempt to stimulate sympathy for "poor, innocent Trayvon" and denigrate the REAL victim, George Zimmerman.

No mention whatsoever of the actual EVIDENCE of injuries (beating) administered to Zimmerman by "poor, innocent Trayvon".

"His (George Curry's) weekly column is syndicated by NNPA to more than 200 African-American newspapers, with a combined readership of 15 million."

INCITING the plantation!

Thanks. Definitely incongruous with the media portrayal...

Zimmerman was only following obama’s advice from 2008. “If they bring a knife to the fight, WE BRING A GUN”. Ain’t that right, kenyan? Too bad your “son” decided to pick a fight that night. He lost.

You also shouldnot bring Skittles to a gun fight.

BTW has anyone actually checked to see if this "innocent waif" actually went to the 7-11?

I didn’t need to read the same ol’ propaganda to talk the facts of the case. As stated, I feel that all that was done here is giving the article more eyes that it deserved.

“George Zimmerman, a non-Black neighborhood watch captain armed “

Non-Black? How would they like to be referred to as Non-White?

This is incredible.

-- RS, C is there a ping list for Martin/Zimmerman case? --

Not that I know of. I don't subscribe to ping lists anyway - ask to be taken off if I get "pinged" more than maybe once a week ;-)

When a subject strikes my interest, I usually read all over the place on it, without being helped, and (other than replying to posts directed to me) I pick and choose where and how I remark.

Tracy Martin was unaware that his honor roll son,

Odd that they never mentioned that he was also taking second year university courses on his quest to obtain an academic scholarship to Harvard's Med school to become a neurosurgeon........
