Zimmerman was on the ground being punched when he shot Trayvon Martin(FL)
Charleston Conservative Examiner ^ | 21 March, 2012 | Kyle Rogers

Posted on 03/22/2012 4:55:30 AM PDT by marktwain

Last weekend in the city of Chicago alone, gangbangers slaughtered ten people and wounded another forty. The youngest fatality is only six years old. The youngest person wounded is only one-year-old. Many of the victim were pedestrians sprayed with bullets in drive by shootings. The national news has said nothing about this.

So why does one shooting in Florida warrant weeks of national news? Why has there been thousands of articles a day, for the last four days, about one single shooting?

Almost all of the news items about George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin contains a combination of false statements, opinions presented as facts, transparent distortions, and a complete absence of some of the most relevant details. Almost all news items are written soley from the point of view of the grieving family. The media also fills their articles with outdated baby-faced pictures of Trayvon. Very few include that he was a towering 6'2” football player. Is the media really reporting the news, or is this classic agitation/propaganda to advance a political agenda.

And then you try to justify that it is at least sometimes about killing??

No, I didn't TRY, I DID justify it's about killing, because Neighborhood Watch is about criminals, and they like to kill people. That's documented, by the way. Would you like to see some stats about criminality and murder?

Please try to pay attention.

BTW, I never said ONE, not ONE single racial references in my post. It is YOU who raised the racial references. (Emphasis added.)

Really? Where did I do that? I didn't.

But the race-pimp NGO's sure as hell did. We would not have heard about this neighborhood shooting otherwise.

In case you hadn't noticed, this was a black-on-white crime against the mestizo guy, whom the decedent was beating bloody before the accused shot him in self-defense.

If it’s “all about surveillance”, that means it’s about taking notes and watching, not about killing.

And you were the one who brought up the Sharpton references, then repeated that mode with the “mestizo” reference.

Put down the bottle, dude.

No way is it self defense if you approach someone on the sidewalk, start making demands, then suffer the consequences.

I still haven't seen a full explanation of what Trayvon Martin was doing out and about late at night.

One statement said he was from Miami. Another said he has a juvy history and was on suspension at the time of the incident. Another said he lived in the subdivision. His mother said he went to the store because he was bored. Bored? What does that mean?

The Sanford city manager in his statement referred to an "arrest record" for Zimmermann. Anyone ever taken to city jail for a traffic stop has that. The statement does not clarify what that "arrest record" entailed, or whether it was material. If a police officer runs a guy to jail for having a gun despite being a CCW licensee, that is still an "arrest".

But, but, my local paper is running a picture of the ‘teen’ and he looks like he’s ten years old in the picture.

Is it possible my local paper is unaware that the ‘teens’ picture (the real one - of how he looks today) is on the internet? The only folks being ‘fooled’ are the elderly who don’t use computers. The rest of the people have started trusting the press LESS than before... Less than before - trust running on par with used car salesmen...

The truth will set you free.... Here’s the truth about elite journalist working for one side - - truth:

The civil patrol driver was on his way back to his truck when he was jumped. Is "suffer the consequences" codespeak for "he deserved it because he's white", because anyone without a badge who asks a young black man a pointed question deserves an ass-beating for temerity?

You've got some funny ideas about amour-propre.

And you were the one who brought up the Sharpton references, then repeated that mode with the “mestizo” reference.

A Sharpton reference references Sharpton, without whom we wouldn't even be talking about this story.

Come out of your hidey-hole and yell "racist" -- that's the liberal mode d'emploi when talking about this stuff -- you know you're doing it already. That's the second time you've accused me of racism in lieu of argument, and you are full of b.s. for one thing, and you're playing games, specifically argumentum ad hominem, which Transactional Analysis calls "Blemish", for another.

Weaselly references and sneaky accusations won't get you anywhere on this board, troll.

That is why we must defeat the Democrats (other wise known as LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascists Bastards) in November!

There is a profoundly disturbing sentiment that shows up almost every day on FReeRepublic. That is: “If Romney (or Santorum or Gingrich or Paul — pick any one) is the Republican nominee, I’m going to either vote Third Party or not vote at all.”

FReepers, I cannot tell you how wrong-headed this train of thought is — our objective is to defeat the LIEberals in November, and the only way to do that is to vote against them!

And, for God’s sake, don’t vote Third Party! Remember Ross Perot? Thanks to him, and the stupidity of about 19% of the electorate, we got 8 years of Slick and Hitlery.

We sureasHell don’t need 8 years of Obongo Bozo!

I agree that that comment caused a lot of people to not vote for him, but the lesson there for all of us, despite the “Lesser of two evils” canard, is that until and unless a truly viable, competitive Third Party comes along, we will have to deal with Democrats and Republicans.

In that context, voting against the Democrat is the best we can do, given that we have not been able to get a Real Conservative through the nominating process in recent election cycles.

You still won’t admit that YOU were the one that put the racial spin on this, not me.

I knew that - I was just cc:ing you since he had made the “murder” comment I was responding to, to you.

I wish FR had an explicit cc: function. In a case like this, you should assume that, if you see what I mean.

Until conservatives stop knuckling under to this con, "the best we can do" is the best we're gonna get from the guys with the money and the control of the GOP.

So if his FB page doesn’t say “yo ima kill some fools”, then this says something about culpability in this case?

All of my adult life, I have longed for a Presidential face-off between a LIEberal and a Real Conservative.

I am almost 71 years old, and I doubt I’ll ever get my wish fulfilled.

HST, all we can do is press forward and hope that Obongo Bozo is unceremoniously booted out of the White House in November!

And then go to work on his successor to force government to recognize and abide by the US Constitution.

Don’t know what else we can do — but it is for damn sure that if we sit this one out, Obongo Bozo and his LIEberal hangers-on will take America down!

Now REALLY is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their country!

PS I’d like to think that We the People, presuming we prevail in November, will be encouraged enough and empowered enough to force the out of control government geni back into the Constitutional bottle?
