An Innocent Boy Is Dead And The Media Played Us (updated!)
It’s important to mention facts about this case, not to blame Trayvon in any way, but to show how we are all being played by the media.
The media went with the meme that a white guy had shot Trayvon. That was untrue. He was Hispanic. The media kept using the term “gated community,” giving the impression that it was a white neighborhood, since the crime watch captain Zimmerman was “white,” we all assumed that. Not true. The neighborhood was only half white, the other half non-white (I am assuming black and Hispanic). It was not the lush lawns of a “gated community” like the media would have you believe, it was an apartment complex that had been victim to a bunch of robberies recently.
The witness that the police interviewed at the time of the shooting said that George Zimmerman was on the ground with Trayvon on top of him hitting him. Zimmerman did have grass stains on his back and his face his bleeding when the police get there. Now, who could blame Trayvon for attacking Zimmerman? Here was this guy following him, for all he knew, to rob and hurt him. So, it doesn’t change the story really to point out that fact, but most of the media ignored this part because it didn’t make the story juicy enough. Police played the 9-11 tape to Trayvon’s father and the father tells police that it is not his son screaming in the background. I can’t tell you how upset so many were to hear that tape and imagine it was Trayvon screaming, but it wasn’t. But heaven forbid the media correct that. Again, it just made the story juicer.

That about sums it up!
>>You would think that a parent would at least look out and see who was screaming for help.<<
Exactly.
We had it happen in my old neighborhood in Cleveland. A girl was being bullied by a gang of kids. She came to my door banging and yelling, “Aunt Sue, let me in!”
I’m not Sue, but I let her in. The kids dispersed and she called her parents who came and got her. Smart girl.
It’s all about fitting the narratives required for an Obama re-election.
Actually, the first police report DID state Negligent homocide, didn't it?
BTW, I also hear Martin being blamed for wearing a hoodie, and the next post claims that Zimmerman's back was wet... Was it raining?

They do when they are threatened
I’m really tired of people like you resorting to angry insults. Could we have a simple civil discussion?
“If someone other than a cop was following me, I’d probably like to jump him also. But, that’s just me. Zimmerman got what he deserved...”
In that case, if you actually DO what you say, you will go to jail for assault. Unless, of course, the person you attack fears for his life because you’re pounding his head against concrete, and he pulls a gun and shoots Big Tough AlmaKing...
>> “Actually, the first police report DID state Negligent homocide, didn’t it?” <<
.
That was not a charge nor accusation; it was a “presumption” to justify transporting Zimmerman under arrest. Had it actually been charged, he would still be under arrest, or out on bail.
Had there been even the slightest justification, Zimmerman would have been incarcerated.
>> “I’m really tired of people like you resorting to angry insults.” <<

Its trolls like you that insult our intelligence.
If you want a simple civil discussion, don’t make thinly veiled accusations in your leftie posts.
>>We won’t see it because it simply isn’t the natural human condition for whites and blacks to feel “harmonious” around each other. Or, whites vis-a-vis Hispanics, or Hispanics and blacks, etc., etc. “Good will” is of little use when it contradicts human nature.<<
Um, in our family there are whites, blacks and Koreans.
We feel pretty harmonious. Speak for yourself.
Challenged is different from threatened. He FELT threatened he WAS challenged.
more name calling. Inoticed your reference to the Bible on your page. I’ll be praying for you.

Sorry to disappoint you, but that's the way the justice system works in most states. There will be a grand jury investigation due to the death.

No need to read any further than that.
Grand jury hearings are usually about 20% of such cases, and only when the prosecutor sees a need to back-up their case.
In this case a grand jury would not likely be used because there doesn’t appear to have been a crime committed.
Troll is your occupation, not your name.
Did you think you would squelch me by floating such a strawman accusation?
And one last point to ponder: I am VERY ANGRY at the exploitation of black people by the race-baiting democrats and their media whoredom who don't give a damn about Tryevon's death but use it as an excuse to gin up further racial divide to help the bastard in the White House finish his destruction of America. Now, if you want to discuss that anger, I'm always ready to illustrate the vagaries of the hate-filled racist running this nation presently.
