Unfortunately, this tragedy has been co-opted by people with political axes to grind. The death of this young man has been twisted to advance the agendas of politicians, civil-rights activists, occupiers, and cop haters.

"...the other was a mostly model student."

Ecxcept for the discipline problems.

And the drug problems.

And being suspended from school.

And living out on the streets and not coming home for days and nights in a row.

Politically based assumptions again take the forefront.
Perhaps the entire story is as honest as Tawana Brawley.
Maybe this is only a story because none of these people wants to confront the enemy in the White House about what he is doing to America and this sideshow is giving him and his Cabal cover.
Take color out of it and we have a confrontation and physical assault that ended up with one of the participants injured and the other shot. How is this of any national interest unless there is an orchestrated cover for the real bad deeds done by the administration.

“The other was a 28-year-old who seems to have been belligerent.”

What a load of CRAP. He followed the kid. Does this guy know what happened? Was he there? NO.

Yet he spouts off the lib media narrative. Why not go full throttle like Santorum did, and call the guy “sick” and “malicious”?

New information since this was written makes this article a bit off base.

Of course it’s not about Trayvon. It’s about getting Obama re-elected. Black entitlement by virtue of victimhood, played to contrive a “right” to have a black president for another 4 years.

It’s the crisis that is not to be wasted.

Expect London style race riots.

I went to get my hair cut today. They had on local radio.

They had adds on organizing the “Justice for Travon” rallies to be held here.

They will gather the crowds and whip them into a frenzy.

The facts of the case won’t matter one whit.
