Who called the media's attention to it? And why? The story has been around since Feb. 27.
Another thread has a link to the Fox 35/Orlando website where the Feb 27 report was posted. It cited the witness who is quoted in the article at the head of this thread. So his testimony has been out there from the start -- why is it re-discovered an repeated only now?
And there appears to have been no appreciable local reaction to the story. Only after national media attention has been focussed on the event -- and Rev. Al, Jesse and Louie arrive -- do we get "demonstrations".
There is a much bigger story lurking behind all this: it's the why this story is a story now.
It sure has deflected a lot of the heat from the traitØr re gas prices hitting $4/gal nationwide this weekend !
The part the puppeteers haven't counted on, imho, is the longer-term psychological backlash from this if/when Zimmerman is found to have acted in self-defense.
Perhaps not resulting in immediate actions, but pushing the overwhelming majority in this nation right up in the batter's box of bellowing a resounding NO to any further attempts by the entitlement crowd to count on and use 'white guilt' as a rationale for indiscriminate mau-mau lawlessness.
Factor in the boy that was doused with gas recently and set afire for being white, that poor eldery couple in OK barbarically assaulted (w/wife killed) earlier this week, and any of a dozen other atrocities occuring with senseless frequency, and the race war that some of the anarchic voices seem to be egging won't be turning out to their satisfaction.
This nation has bent over backwards for 60+ years in a fruitless and hideously expensive attempt to make amends for wrongs of the past, and has had nothing but increasing and endless hatred heaped on our collective heads.
Enough is Enough.
