CNN ^

Posted on 03/28/2012 5:34:52 AM PDT by icwhatudo

Martin asked Zimmerman if he had a problem; Zimmerman said no and reached for his cell phone, he told police. Trayvon shooter 'extremely remorseful' Trayvon Martin witness steps forward Martin witness describes aftermath Maher: Racism, gun laws killed Trayvon

Martin said, "Well, you do now" or something similar and punched Zimmerman in the nose, Zimmerman said, according to the Sentinel.

Zimmerman said Martin pinned him to the ground and began slamming his head into the sidewalk. The police report described Zimmerman's back as wet and covered with grass, as though he had been lying on the ground.

Zimmerman was also bleeding from the nose and the back of his head, the police report said.

"I was yelling for someone to help me, but no one would help me," Zimmerman told police.

"The police report described Zimmerman's back as wet"

Uhhh... I think CNN is the one that's being racist. The Hispanic community will not approve of that. =/

The lazy ass blacks wanting the free ride have always hated Latinos, because the Latinos are not afraid of WORK, which makes the lazy ass blacks stand out like a sore thumb.

No, I am not painting all African decendent Americans with the same broad brush, yes there are many very productive, honest, civil and family centered Black people, but they are not the majority and damn sure not the ones in yo face.

Exactly my question when I first saw this thread. What does that last word say?

In most countries the media’s participation in racial intimindation would be illegal, but in our increasing Obamadystopia (Zimbabwe) it is an everyday occurance.

You’ll definately need to provide some link and proof for that information, because IIRC that is far different than FBI crime statistics.

I got this off Ace's Overnight Thread. He got it from Legal Insurrection. Both are usually reliable sources.

Haiku,
Could you give me the link to that murder graph? I’m in an epic battle with libs on this issue and they will want a link.
Thanks!

If one focuses on the interracial murders only, what we have is more a problem of black against white. An objective population would notice this. So would an objective commentator.

Why would one want to focus on interracial murders only? Are you any more dead if your murderer was of a different race?

This whole media circus might have been avoided if Zimmerman had the good sense to change his last name to “Villareal” or “Rodriguez.”

The media's ineptitude nearly caused race riots,

Nearly?

It's not over yet. Mark my words - people will die because of this.

The Obama’s team perhaps failed to realize that Zimmerman is half Hispanic. I don’t thin they dare to flame Hispanic v. Black riots .

The worst bias I’ve seen has been from Shep Smith on FOX who jumped on it early. As of yesterday he were still showing the ubiquitious pic of Trevon as a 12 year old and calling him a “child” carrying Skittles. FOX should fire that idiot. I really can’t stand to watch him, and I switch to CNN when he comes on.

the MSM is now afraid of the Richard Jewel situation.

I think it is too late for that.

however the state wide prosecutor will arrest for SOMETHING in order to be political.

No, they never intended to enflame Hispanic v. Black riots. Zimmerman turning out to be Laino was one of those “inconvient truths” that got in the way.

The entire anti-American left hoped to paint this as mean ol KKK bigot WHITEY shooting the poor innocent black child just walking back home from buying a bag of Skittles, with high hopes of turning it into votes for nobama.

Any questions?

Yes, just one.

What percentage of the "white" murderers are Hispanic?

-- Why would one want to focus on interracial murders only? --

It seems the race pimps want to do so, by focusing attention on white on black crime. I'm just pointing out that this goes in the other direction too, black on white, as well as in the direction you pointed out, interracial crime. All of it is troublesome. But the racist problem in this country is more "black against white" than the reverse.

I would be curious to know what the statistics are for so-called “inter-racial” crimes. i.e. crimes where a white and black are involved.

Interracial crime statistics can be found at "the color of crime". Google it. What you will find is that black on white violent crime (assault, rape, murder) is off the charts while the white on black violent crime is minimal.  

This whole Treyvon business is bull because it is not blacks under attack by whites. It is white women being raped by blacks. Not the reverse. It is whites being assaulted by black wolf packs in knockout king contests
