Zimmerman is at least as black as Obama. (Hint, Obama is not half black.)

He bought the gun to protect him and his wife from a pit bull. I love a success story!

As in laughter at or disgust at my comment? I was being very sarcastic in my comment up-thread. I don’t think the media should ignore black-on-black crime. But the fact is they do.

Why don’t you guys ask Beckwith about how reliable a source Kenneth Lamb is? He asked Lamb for proof several times back in ‘08. To the best of my knowledge, Lamb never responded. I saw a pic of Hussein’s daddy, and at least to the best of my knowledge, he didn’t look Arab at all.

a violation of neighborhood watch guidelines but not a crime.

Just about tired of hearing about "neighborhood watch guidelines." That's just another freedom-sucking, rights-stealing federal jack-booted-thug program designed to disarm citizens and get them dependent on unconstitutional non-peace-officer police.

As in irony, I suppose. Is that safe? (I don’t dare venture to say yes these days.)

Neighborhood Watch :

Sanford Police Department (they organize and issue the signs)

Sponsored by the National Sheriffs’ Association, Neighborhood Watch can trace its roots back to the days of colonial settlements, when night watchmen patrolled the streets. The modern version of Neighborhood Watch was developed in 1972 as a response to requests from sheriffs and police chiefs

Seems like they had a major problem with the ferals. And only Trayvon gets shot?

Zimmerman probably didn't think of himself as Afro-Peruvian.

That was a part of his family past, not his own identity.

It only comes out now that he's in the news.

Maybe he was "post-racial" (or pre-post-racial) before all this happened.

And the "pre-racial" world -- how many millennia ago was that?

Do you realize that since his grandmother is a product of a racial mixed marriage like our president, Zimmerman is more of a match to “son of Obama” then TM.

An amusing anecdote about profiling - before Bush came to office in 2001, the disproportionate scrutiny of air travelers who looked Middle Eastern or wore traditional Muslim garb was standard in the American airline industry, due to the historical experience of hijackers and terrorists in fatal attacks against American airlines being mainly Middle Eastern and Muslim. Just before 9/11/01, Bush forbade this increased scrutiny, criticizing it as this fundamental injustice. Then 9/11 happened. 10,000 dead Americans and $1T in war-related expenditures later, the country’s self-appointed elites are still engaged in a campaign of fulmination against profiling.

Good article until the last few sentences but I will give Reuters credit for stepping back from the koolaid stand.

Yep, falters somewhat at the end but overall better than I expected from Reuters.

Pretty hard to fit this account into the wannabe police KKK out to kill an innocent black child narrative pushed by the MSM.

So, why is Al Sharpton trying to lynch a black man?
