Many freepers will find the article illuminating. The police played the 911 tape to Trayvon Martin's father, who tells police that the voice screaming is not the voice of his son.

Does this blogger cite to any source? There is nothing in the excerpt (and I won’t go to that disease-ridden blog site).

My local paper ran a picture of the ‘teenager’ - looks like it was taken when he was 12 or 13 years old. Anyone have a current picture to post?

Joe Scarborough made me ill this morning with his Al Sharpton like reporting of this incident.

While the Zimmerman ‘white’ on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and the murder of the elderly white couple by ‘African Americans’ in Oklahoma just the other day?

The 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten, his jaw broken, shot in the face with a BB gun and now barely clings to life.

The 85 year old partially blind wife was raped and beaten to death.

Where is the 24/7 MSM coverage

Where is the outrage?

NOnononono!
According to our MSM, it’s “Racist White Bigot Shoots Cowering Black Child Honor Student”.

Why has there been thousands of articles a day, for the last four days, about one single shooting?

Because this unfortunate incident presents several golden opportunities for exploitation by a particular political ideology. So, it is being kept out there and on fire, until their hopes and dreams are fulfilled, that some evidence, any evidence, or even something that can be twisted to look like evidence, that this was not justified self defense.

And then the political salvos will be unleashed, in the war against the second amendment.

Zimmerman should never have engaged the youth. He was advised to not follow by the Dispatcher and wait for Police.

He disregarded this and confronted Trayvon, which led to a physical altercation, which led to the death. He placed himself and his weapon into a situation wherein the use of deadly force was a real possibility. The class that I was in warned that this perceived power could lead to real trouble.

The whole idea of CCW is to protect yourself when accosted. It does not give you license to pursue and engage suspicious persons walking down a public street.

Everything that went wrong did so when Zimmerman interpreted Neighborhood Watch to mean he could confront anyone he deemed as suspicious.

Al is just rehearsing for the riots to come this summer , as Obama signals community organizers to “take to the streets.”

We are working up to a sporadic “swival war.” based on the Al Sharpton et. al. protests by Obama’s fascists, that he is down in the polls because of racism...etc.

On March 16th, the Sanford police department released new details to the Orlando Sentinel.

http://news.yahoo.com/video/orlandowesh-16122564/sanford-police-speak-out-in-trayvon-martin-case-28640523.html#crsl=%252Fvideo%252Forlandowesh-16122564%252Fsanford-police-speak-out-in-trayvon-martin-case-28640523.html

Once again, these details have been ignored or changed by the media.

1.The witness reports that George Zimmerman was on the ground and Trayvon is on top of him punching him.
2.The witness says that George Zimmerman was screaming and yelling for help.
3.Police arrive and find Zimmerman bleeding on his face and the back of his head. He also has had grass stains on his back. All this confirms the story told by Zimmerman and the witness.
4.Police play the 911 tape for Trayvon Martin’s father, who tells police that the voice screaming is not the voice of his son.

The neighborhood this took place in has seen a lot of crime. Would you be surprised to learn that there were eight burglaries, nine thefts, and a shooting just in the past year? In fact, the local homeowners’ association reports that George Zimmerman actually caught one thief and aided in the apprehension of other criminals. The Miami Herald wrote about this on March 17th. None of the thousands of articles and cable news segments that came after, thought this was important.

Wow! I haven't seen any of those details in the news media, at all! What BS!

Thanks for the link, it explains a lot previously not revealed.

The shooting should not have happened, but the coverage has been a travesty.

When the FL police released Zimmerman, I suspected it was not like what was originally reported.

I always knew there was more to the story than was being reported. I immediately knew there were problems when the MSM reported that Zimmerman was “white.”

My only question is this: the photo of Zimmerman that is currently being shown has him in what looks like an orange shirt. It looks like a mug shot. My husband said that originally it was identified as being taken by Orange County and then was removed in later reports.

It sickens me that this case is getting more attention than the Allen Goin case - the one where the white kid was SET OF FIRE while the attackers indicated a CLEAR racial motive by saying, “You get what you deserve, white boy.”

O course, we are being played like trout.

Because of political considerations, Zimmerman (who is an idiot ... and is definitely guilty of the heinous crime of politically incorrect remarks ... and is damn lucky HE ain't the dead guy) will be placed on trial. If he is found innocent, which is a pretty good bet based on the evidence seen so far, this will be the signal for the beginning of national riots.

After he is found innocent in the Florida Courts, or as might be more likely given the political circumstances, allowed to "cop a plea" to a much less serious offense, he will be tried and convicted in the Federal Courts for the Offense of "Denying Trayvon his Civil Rights," just as were the officers who saved Rodney King's life. (Even the ACLU initially found that a Constitutional violation!)

The Obama Election Machine was (and always is) absolutely ready and waiting for an inflammatory incident and now, by golly, they've gotten themselves a real doozy! Al? Al Sharpton? Why he's got himself a new and improved Tawana Brawley!

Riots. Lawsuits (The cops, Zimmerman, the city, the HOA: get ready). Rhetoric. Elections.

In Texas there is an exception to self defense called "provoking the difficulty." In a nutshell, you can't start a fight, realize you are losing it, shoot the the guy you attacked, then claim self defense. If Florida law is similar, Zimmerman is in a world of hurt.

I’ve seen reports that Zimmerman is actually Hispanic. Does anyone know for sure?

Remember one thing...in the Holder DOJ’s eyes, in any confrontation between Whites and Blacks, the Whites acted “stupidly”. It’s a rule, not a possibility.
