Trayvon Martin Update. Today a second rally, in as many days, was held for Trayvon Martin. Martins parents, in their first major appearance since the death of their son, were joined by civil rights leaders in demanding justice for their son, Trayvon.
Trayvon Martin Update Second Rally in Sanford in Two Days
The city of Sanford, Florida, is a community of about 54,000, which has now become famous. Thousands of members of the media, as well as activists, protesters, and celebrities have descended on the city as demands for the arrest of George Zimmerman increase.
As Trayvons family, activists, celebrities and ordinary folks across the country call for Zimmermans arrest, the community has been overwhelmed with news trucks, reporters, high-profile civil rights leaders including Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, and thousands of protesters.
Although civil rights leader Al Sharpton is comparing Sanford to a modern-day Selma or Birmingham, most residents of Sanford do not share his assessment of race relations in the city.
In fact, Sharpton and other civil rights leaders involved in the Sanford protests, including the media, have drawn fire for their attempts to drag Americans back 50-years to the height of racial division and unrest in the nation.
News Contributor Juan Williams, formerly with NPR and now with Fox News, stated the following:
Nobody says a word that over half of the murders in the United States are of black people and 90% of them are committed by other black people. What is this carnage in the black community, in Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, every day of the week? And nobody has a march for them
This is the civil rights challenge of this generation yet people want to replay what happened 50 years ago, Chris.

The reason the MSM doesn't care about those deaths - the reason Sharpton and Jackson don't care - is those deaths don't further the cause of white liberal elites. The people who were paying for the 'rent-a-mob' in Sanford. Jaun is right on this...
Anybody ever test these peoples claims of audio identification accuracy (the sound analysis)? Or are these “experts” self proclaimed claims all that matter?
Agreed. The murders in Chicago alone - over 100 so far this year - demand attention, yet these civil rights “leader” say and do nothing. It’s not profitable for them.
Oh no, this will make Rooivalk even more depressed and pizzed.
“This is the civil rights challenge of this generation yet people want to replay what happened 50 years ago, Chris.
I found that part of his statement to be even better. He’s subtly calling out Sharpton and company.
They are stepping in it fully right now!
BTW, has anybody heard from that prick Santorum recently since he indicted Zimmerman?
Just as TM’s mother wants the prosecutor investigated, I want these ‘experts’ investigated.
If we think this is bad, wait until November.
They have found a worthless cause and will ride it until then. This is obamas army. Selective rage is an ugly thing.
They could care less about Martin.
No comment from Santorum since then that I know. That was what sunk him. Bad judgment, not having all of the facts, as they aren’t in yet... yet he says what he said. NOT PRESIDENTIAL.
I’m not sure that’s possible.
Let[’s try that again..
The Florida funeral director who handled the burial of TM says there were no signs of a scuffle on the dead teen, contradicting Zimmerman’s story of a violent scuffle. Martin’s wound was the only apparent injury says the funeral director.

Well, thats because he was doing all the hitting you dimwad.
lol
Lol! Thanks for clearing that up! :-)
Well, the “forensic services” folks listed make money by presenting opinions in court. Owens wants 3K a day for testimony. I think an affidavit costs a thousand bucks.
Either the journalist in question popped for a grand to get an opinion, or this Owens outfit volunteered an opinion. I’m sure that the possibility of hundreds of thousands of web hits as the result of a controversial opinion never crossed their minds. I’m sure the journalist never mentioned that it would generate interest in his story if they said the voice belonged to Martin.
Who is this ‘Rooivalk’? Some bleeding heart liberal talking head from the State Run Media maybe?
Owens was hired by the Orlando Sentinel.
