try to keep up..you’ve got the facts that we do know all backwards.

the dispatcher said” You don’t need to do that” He did not WARN Zimmerman. To which Zimmerman is said to ahve said, “ok’ and went back to his truck, according to reports now he was decked by Trayvon.

Try to keep up.

(911 told Zimmerman not to follow him, but he did).

wrong!
Zimmerman did not call 911..he called the police or sherrif’s dept.

he was NOT told “on’t follow him”..he was told”You don’t need to do that”..after which Zimmerman said, “ok” and went back to his truck.

“Facts are irrelevant. Evidence is meaningless. Zimmerman is guilty...”

Of course, he’s a “White” Hispanic don’t you know?

I have seen that sight....and yes others like it do likewise or worse....At one I noted the author consistantly blamed “The Republicans” for every ill the black community might face....and further how they’ve always been against black people.

It just doesn’t stop....and it’s not going to because the liberal mindset is to keep blacks in “bondage” to them, so no surprise they utilize the internet to promote and impress the minds who want to listen.

Just as in this Martin death....same persons like Sharpton and Jackson and Farrakan come to the front ...and this time also Obama....to fuel any incident that will give them the stage. Otherwise they’d be unemployed!

As some blacks have clearly stated.....the race issue IS NOT white on black.....but black on black crime.

everybody has a right to their opinion...I have no problem with that....

what I do have a problem with is something called the LAW and of innocent until proven guilty...

the SCM has attacked this Z guy without one shred of proof that he did anything more than act stupid for allowing that kid to get the best of him and having to shoot him in self defense....

the kid should not be dead...its sad...its senseless....but Z is not necessarily guilty of anything and his life, the life of his family, and the life of people even remotely attached to him is being threatened....

where is the Justice dept in this travesty?....they really allow for mob rule?...for "dead or alive" posters?.....oh really?

So....an Hispanic American kills a ‘Brother’, who was bashing Hispanic/German American Zimmermans head against the sidewalk( and ultimately broke Zimmermans nose), dies when the shooter manages to pull his licensed pistol which the dead guy was trying to take from him. it goes off killing the hoodie wearing, pants on the ground, thug....and the media pulls out pictures of the dead ‘brother’ from 10 years earlier like he was a sweet baby. and Sharpton and the left make THIS a cause celeb to ban guns?

EFFF U Al, Holder and FUBO...and your media lackeys too....

I’ve just seen my local news this morning, now yesterday they had different people working and it was quite fair but today they had mostly black reporters who were so biased it made MSNBC fair-ish. sort of anyway

They showed people marching outside the DOJ in DC, We’re in north east FL, they showed SC marchers, they showed different places and their signs saying racist , convict etc .

The so called reporters had the usual photo’s of Martin aged 12 and some looking 10, their report was biased, but what struck me out of all that was at the end.

Seems they are being told to stop their bias, right at the end the two black reporters said go to our FB and we’re having a conversation about this and it seems some of you are saying that the photos of what we’re showing is not updated and that photo’s say a thousand words.

It seems some of you have a problem showing a mug shot of Zimmermann when he was much younger and the shot of Martin who is , well a little younger, here are some of your letters.

All saying that the channels is being biased.

My wife got form work yesterday and said everyone there is fed up of the news being biased and trying to convict this guy with no justice and that they have all put the updated photo’s of Martin and Zimmermann up on their FB.

Reason I state this is because I really hope the real message is getting out regardless of how the elected officials now are trying to stand next to as many black people are possible on their photo op’s or how biased the MSM is.

My question is where are the Hispanic groups to demand Zimmermann get a fair shake?
If his name had been Lopez or something then would we have seen the Hispanic groups out then?
Is Zimmermann the scapegoat for the left and the likes of La Raza been told to sacrifice him because he doesn’t have an Hispanic name and that they can use the MSM to twist this case to their advantage and stoke up the black community.

One thing is for sure the MSM , especially now the local channels are nothing but out and out liars who do not even try and hide their bias now, this is pure propaganda, something the left have been trying for for decades.

Health care, the air we breath, the message and now they are trying to take the energy over, communism in the making or at least full blown socialism.

How do you know we are right? When the left makes fun of what we say, look how obama made fun of the B/SC then look at how he was with the open Mic , look how the left has made fun of the word of socialism.

the MSM have tossed out all their talks of being fair now.

The locals channels through out this country have done nothing to ask for the arrest of a hate racist group who has called for the kidnapping of an American citizen.
Hispanic groups it seems have been ordered to stand down and not go out and fend this guy .

Only GA, good ole GA has done anything about this group and where is my AG Bondi ?
Where is the police force of Sanford?
Where THE HELL IS THE DOJ AGAIN WHEN IT COMES TO THE BLACK PANTHERS AND RACE PIMPS?

Oh yes thew DOJ is being led by a race pimp and has put his other race pimps into the DOJ whilst the community agitator is giving out orders from his plane while heading back here.

Can he sue people (Sharpton) for stating that he is a racist murderer?

Steven Pagones sued Sharpton over the Tawana Brawley accusation, won a judgement, and never saw a dime.

HE DID TURN AROUND AND HEADED BACK TO HIS CAR, HE THEN GOT PUNCHED FROM BEHIND AND ATTACKED

This comment is inconsistent with Zimmerman's reported statement to police after the shooting:

"Zimmerman told police that he lost sight of Martin and was walking back to his SUV when Martin approached him from the left rear, and they exchanged words.

"Exchanged words." Zimmerman didn't claim that Martin came out of the dark and sucker punched him.

Martin asked Zimmerman if he had a problem. Zimmerman said no and reached for his cell phone, he told police.

"reached for his cell phone" - that is again SUPPOSEDLY Zimmerman's own claim.

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

Is it unreasonable to believe that Martin might have thought Zimmerman was going for a weapon. ESPECIALLY if he saw or caught a glimpse of the gun/holster as Zimmerman reached for the phone?

Neither of these guys have to be thugs, wannabes, or monsters for this to have played out the way it did. It is entirely possibly they are both normal people who misread one another's actions with tragic consequences.

if you cannot understand by now with all the facts of this , the police saying this was lawful and seeing what a want to be gangster Martin was from his witter account and FB then you will never know and it seems you going around on these threads is just wasting all of our time and it makes you need to get away form CNN, your local news, the Huff post , Ellen show, Oprah show, GMA and the today show.

Matin normal, what buying drugs, selling drugs, acting how he did, suspended 3 times from school

If that is normal in your world then are you left wing occupy?
