Rare piece of balanced journalism...the article talks about Zim's problems in the past but ALSO shows evidence to negate the "racist" label.

He’s a “Spanish-speaking minority with many black family members and friends.”

Has that become a get-out-jail-free card for wanton, cold-blooded murder?

“”Unfortunately, some individuals and organizations have used this tragedy to further their own causes and agendas.”

Betcha dollars to donuts this retired magistrate voted for hussein last time around. I wonder how much money he donated to the campaign and is that why holder hasn’t slapped the man in jail yet?

I don’t think this is about race. This is about whipping up the masses into a pre-election Occupy-like frenzy to make whitey feel bad about something they didn’t even do.

Again.

It’s almost like Richard Jewell, all over again:

This is all part of the Left's strategy to burn the country to the ground next summer.

They think it will guarantee the Kenyan Fuhrer's reelection.

I think they are catastrophically mistaken.

From the Charleston Conservative Examiner:

1. The witness reports that George Zimmerman was on the ground and Trayvon is on top of him punching him.
2. The witness says that George Zimmerman was screaming and yelling for help.
3. Police arrive and find Zimmerman bleeding on his face and the back of his head. He also has had grass stains on his back. All this confirms the story told by Zimmerman and the witness.
4. Police play the 911 tape for Trayvon Martin’s father, who tells police that the voice screaming is not the voice of his son.

Trayvon Martin was a towering 6’2” football player.

There is something going on with this. This morning Jerry Rivers was on F & F blaming this more on the hoodie the young guy was wearing.

Could it be this Zimmerman person is Hispanic?

Something up with this.

He’s a “white hispanic” by the media (whatever they are). That makes it okay to pile it on.

Maybe it was self defense, maybe it wasn’t.

But for me, that’s for a jury to determine. For the police and the DA to let the shooter just walk - that’s the miscarriage of justice.

If the situation were more clearcut (say a home invasion scenario where homeowner kills invader(s) in self-defense) then sure, decline to prosecute, decline to arrest - nobody would raise an eyebrow (at least I wouldn’t).

But this situation is not that. That’s what grand juries and juries are for.

I’m not arguing guilt or innocence. I’m arguing the decision to circumvent the system that determines guilt or innocence.

I think that Zimmerman’s behavior precipitated the whole incident. A trial will sort all of that out. However,....

The media, particularly HLN network, is perfectly happy to declare Zimmerman guilty without a trial. The publicity wh—e show hosts there have declared that the Martin boy was “lynched with a gun.” They have interviewed folk talking about a recurrence of race riots like those in LA. They did nothing yesterday but fan flames for their own ratings.

Well if his father says that, it must be true.
