Don’t know if you saw this earlier or were aware....
“For those of us who thought we were well informed and weren’t.....quite the reality check.
That old adage applies here: “there are two sides to every story.” We don’t always get the truth from the media. One of my favorite rants - the
liberal controlled media, television news, newspapers, magazines, radio; all continue to show 12 year old Trayvon; NOT 17 year old Trayvon.
Obama’s media is trying to railroad a citizen that was trying to protect the public..Just another way for them to say we need gun control..Seems strange we never hear about all the murders in Chicogo..and there are dozens a week or even a day, by hoodlems with guns..
They continue to show the 5 year old picture BECAUSE it helps to cement in your mind the cute, little, hoodie-wearing youngster who was
stalked by this monster.
In reality “little Trayvon” at the time of his death stood almost 6’2” tall and weighed 175 muscular pounds. He had numerous run ins with authorities (both at school and local police), had been stopped and almost arrested two days before his death for smacking a bus driver in the face, because the driver refused to let him ride for free. He was released because the driver was told not to press charges by the bus company and to continue on his route.
When “little Trayvon” was suspended at school it was not only because he tried to bring a little marijuana in with him, he was in possession of
wedding rings and other jewelry, watches, etc. that he said he “found” along with a large screwdriver while on the way to school that day. The
jewelry was turned over to the Police by the school.
I am not trying to say this was a good shooting. I am not trying to say this kid deserved to die. I am saying the media in the USA is controlled by liberals who twist and distort what you see and hear in order for you to see things their way.
Not a single paper has printed RECENT photos of this kid, because it would not keep your interest in this case.
Not a single paper will admit that this kid was a marijuana dealer. His friends on Facebook all said he had the “best plants.” Not a single paper will show you any of his recent photos where he shows off a mouthful of gold teeth and all of his tattoos.
Not a single newspaper will tell the news like it really is...and NOT how they want you to think it is.
President King Obama looked at the FIVE year old photo the media chose to show the Nation and said, “If I had a son...he would look like Trayvon.” So from that comment should I assume you did not bother to look for the facts in this shooting or should I assume you want a son who is a 17 year old drug dealing, gold teethed, tattooed thug whose name on one of his Facebook profiles was “Wild Nigga” who ‘finds” jewelry and burglary tools on the way to school?
A fair and impartial news media in the USA? One that does not follow the liberal agenda? Is NOT looking to further divide this already fractured Nation?
I didn’t compose this. I’m only passing it on.
Never trust the news media for anything. “
I have seen different versions of Trayvon’s size, anywhere form 158 to over 200 pounds. I am not sure which is right but he apparently was NOT a little fellow. I am about six four and 250 and the first reports made me expect that a Viking type who looked as I did in my twenties had stalked and murdered a small black child for absolutely no reason other than bloodthirst.
I joined the Navy while still seventeen, I was logged in by the guy doing the physical as six three and one half inches and 169 pounds, a veritable beanpole but I don’t think anyone of Zimmerman’s actual size would have had much chance against me in a brawl and certainly not if I sucker punched him in the nose at the start. A broken nose is far from “insignificant” as the prosecutor claimed in this case.
