My observation of a lot of these incidents is
“if a black person FINDS AN EXCUSE to take issue with you, you’re in for a beat down”.

They have an agenda, and they have the Martin-Zimmerman incident.

They should have taken a pass on this one like they do on other cases, because it doesn’t fit.

Pick one that fits the narrative better.

What strikes me as unconscionable, however, is the way the supposedly objective media have not only sensationalized a tragedy but at times appear to deliberately bend the facts to fit a desired story line

This is not new. They've been doing this since at least 1995, and probably much longer than that (Cronkite's reporting on the Tet Offensive comes to mind...)

Journalists are, by and large, a despicable, loathsome group of people, deserving of utter contempt and distrust.

The Media and Race Hustler’s Portrayal of the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin Event through Manipulating the Facts to Match their Narrative:

• Slightly-built 8th grader, Trayvon Martin, is walking home in his graduation cap and gown minding his own business, munching on some Skittles candy.

• Aryan Nation member George Zimmerman is driving through the neighborhood looking for young, black men to racially profile.

• Zimmerman spots Trayvon in the dark by the glow of his halo hovering over his sweet, innocent head.

• The skinhead takes chase.

• The young black football star trys to outrun him, but he is trapped by a “No Enter” sign and the speed of the Klansman’s truck.

• Trayvon, faced with certain lynching and death or disobeying the law, makes his stand to defend himself.

• The little angel Trayvon attempts to reason with his attacker, but the illiterate racist Zimmerman will have none of it.

• Zimmerman jumps out of his truck and asks Trayvon, “Any last words?”

• Tryavon’s young, innocent face looks into the eyes of his executioner and replies, “World Peace.”

• The skinhead screams, “White Power!”, as he unloads his fully automatic assault rifle into Trayvon.

• If not for the Republican party’s refusal to limit huge magazines, Trayvon may have survived but that cowardly racist conservative Zimmerman, unfettered by their lack of legislation, unloads hundreds of rounds into the future Nobel Peace prize recipient, Trayvon.

• Then, the psychopath criminal thug, Zimmerman, bashes his fist into his own nose, breaking it, and then lies on his back, pulling the bullet-riddled Trayvon’s body on top of his and repeatedly pounds the back of his head on the sidewalk while yelling for help.

• When the deed is done, Hilter incarnate, Zimmerman, steps back into his gas-guzzling, fossil fuel truck.

• As he leaves the scene, all he can see is Trayvon dying and looking up at his “Bush-Cheney 2004” bumper sticker disappear into the night.

• Given these indisputable facts, the media and race baiters proclaim that Zimmerman got away with murder and the poor innocent victim Trayvon had nothing but goodness in his heart.

“Producers edited Zimmerman’s 911 call”

It was NOT a 911 call. It was a non-emergency number used for the purpose he used it.

It’s increasingly obvious to me that for many in the black community, there are only two colors. Black, and not-black, which explains why they often go after Asians, Hispanics, and Jews in their Knock-Out King games, and in their race rhetoric.

That could explain why they treat each other as if they belong to a “secret soriety”.

"Thoughtful critics of such laws, including President Obama..."

The author makes a statement here completely unsupported by evidence.

He might be correct on the thoughtful critics part, but that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is anything but thoughtful. Except when it benefits him and the rats

The worst misportrayal is still the one that O'Reilly is hanging onto.

O'Reilly is saying that Zimmerman did think that Martin was "suspicious" because he was a black youth and he was wearing a hoodie.

I say that Zimmerman was suspicious only because he knew the owner of the unit that Martin was near and knew that Martin didn't belong there because he knows the circumstance of the owner in the unit. Martin didn't have to be black or wear a hoodie for Zimmerman to know that Martin wasn't a resident of THAT particular unit.

That's why Zimmerman was suspicious of Martin.

This idiot gave birth to this hood, but was NOT his mother. She only became his mother when the money came rolling in.
