That damn Constitution getting in the way again!
Now he will probably survive mob rule.
Something needs to be done about that constitution so we don't have time to change our minds and let innocent people get away and make a mockery out of Al Sharpton and the gang.
It just isn't fair.
>> But just two days later... 48 percent of Americans said police should arrest Zimmerman - a decrease of 25 percent. ...
I’m part of that 25% decrease; I changed *my* mind based on new evidence that has come to light.
And it also points out how the MSM decided to push this story.
With so many tragic events, shootings, crime stories, people being killed, why did the MSM hone in on this story, and decide to give saturation coverage to it?
There have been so many stories about this in the news, in magazines, on the internet.
Trayvon Martin is the cover story of People magazine this week.
Soledad O’Brien on CNN had her panties in a twist last night as she did a special on this case.
I think the media ran with the story because they thought it was a case of a white racist shooting an innocent young black man for no reason.
The name George Zimmerman sounds like a white man. In fact he’s Hispanic. So they decided to call him a white Hispanic to keep the racial angle alive in the case.
As many here have observed, there have been so many gang related shootings and killings, almost all victims and perpetrators black, yet they focus on this one rare case to convince us that the biggest threat to young black men is a racist with a gun.
In fact, the biggest threat to young black men are other black men with guns. But that doesn’t fit into the template of how America is racist and all of that.
Origins of Trayvon No LimitNi**a
He was nothing more than a whutey hating thug.
looks like the truths the media tried so desperately to hide are being picked up on by the populace. that must really make the media angry. hee hee, hope so.
Well, if it subsiding a bit, any ideas about what’s next? Wonder if Obama ever read the story about the boy who called wolf too many times.
There was change.. PC or no we're tired of letting them get away with the insults, threats, and lies.
The blacks screaming these lies -- like that MSNBC "reporter" ranting to what's his name, a white MSNBC reporter -- know but are too ashamed to admit the real source of their anger and embarrassment; to wit, fellow Africans and Arab Muslims hauling their ancestors off in ropes for sale to Europeans.
Then spending two-hundred-plus years before getting in position to be freed and then only because whites turned the slaves loose.
Though many American-born ancestors' of blacks had achieved freedom on their own long before 1865 the vast majority of blacks had to be freed by whites.
Perhaps the ones who escaped or otherwise got freedom mostly on their own -- perhaps they are the conservatives of today.
The ones flocking to Sharpton, Jackson, and other black radicals are the descendants of those turned loose by the white man in 1865. They are looking for special treatment and favors, hating the white man and hating blacks who "act white." They don't want to get along, they want to get even.
A jury of your peers is now “the man on the street”.
This is all about firing up and energizing a black community to get out and vote against whitey come November.
Obama hasn’t provided them with any jobs, he hasn’t saved their house from foreclosure, his promise of free health care is going down the tubes, if they don’t do something to fire up the minority base, he doesn’t stand a chance against republicans and white independents.
The “War on Women” kind of petered out so the Obama team has decided, when all else fails, play the race card.
I was at Wal-mart today for the first time in nearly a month and what to my wandering eye at the checkout register should appear but a cover of People Magazine. There on the front was a pastoral looking picture with the picture of ten year old Trayvon Martin superimposed on it.
I nearly blew my cork... BLATANT manipulation of the facts. And it’s been like that since the story went mainstream. And the perpetrators will get away with AGAIN.
Based on what you have read or heard about this incident, do you think the police should or should not arrest George Zimmerman for shooting Trayvon Martin?
Permit me to translate:
Based on rumor and speculation by people who have an agenda on either side, without regard to whether you've confirmed any facts, and without establishing what the applicable Florida law is, and even though you may not be a Florida resident in which case your views aren't supposed to be represented by the acts of Florida legislators anyway, what's your unfounded gut feeling about whether police should or should not arrest George Zimmerman for shooting Trayvon Martin?
Yeah. That's an important journalist function Wilson Perkins Allen Opinion Research performed, you betcha.
You missed the 20th century. My mother-in-law was an adult during the late 1930’s and didn’t know FDR was running a centrally-planned economy.
I showed her the ration tokens.
Sorry but there is not one person in their right mind that will not cross the street if they see a young black male in a hoodie walking towards them, even though innocently,at night in an isolated area that will not cross the street to avoid him. That includes liberals, Democrats, conservatives,male, females,gays, straight, Republicans, media people, and yes, even Jesse Jackson. Profiling exists because the human mind reactively profiles when it senses a perceived threat, real or unreal.
Does anyone have any evidence that this is true or not true? It makes it sound like he was some kind of a vigilante, as opposed to part of a group effort to stem the tide of crime in the neighborhood.
