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 The media also fills their articles with outdated baby-faced pictures of Trayvon.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.

Nothing thug or nefarious. just a teenager.

.....who was on top of a guy beating the rat p*ss out of him, when the guy shot him in self-defense.

Zimmermann was all bloody, multiple eyewitnesses said. Since that had to have happened before the gun went off, because Martin couldn't have done it after the gun went off ..... your sidewinding characterization of the attacker as a Floridian Oliver Twist ain't working.

Self-defense, open and shut. This is all about a media lynching, a bonfire of the vanities to feed Obama's turnout in the fall, by allowing him to posture as Race Pharaoh and a River to My People and all that tribal-political crap the Dims love.

They're trying to intimidate GOP pols into giving this guy up to the lynch-mob, and this afternoon on AM radio, I heard Santorum giving him up, characterizing the encounter as murder. He gave up the guy's defense on national radio.

Wow. “Warning shot”?

You are just making stuff up now. You don’t fire “warning shots”. That’s insane.

I sure hope so, but based on the auguries we've seen on this board in the last six months, and the conduct of the "leadership" in Congress, I'm not joining the Optimists' Club any time soon.

I’m not either, but it is for damnsure that I am going to buttonhole every person I talk to about the importance of voting against Obongo Bozo and the LIEberals!

I only have a certain amount of time, talent and treasure.

I’ll do what I can with what I have!

What??? Why is everything always about race? Can't people just look at the facts? Ok, since you want to play the race game. I am assuming that you are a white male. Suppose you are visiting a friend in a black neighborhood and some black guy comes up to you and starts asking you why you are there. How many proofs of ID are you going to show him? Or are you going to tell him to eff off?

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

No, genius...it just shows those freepers who have actually posted pictures of other people that fit their idea of what they wanted him to be while claiming they were pictures of Martin to be the racist asshats they are...you want to play in their sandbox go right ahead. Just don't kid yourself about who your playmates are.

I'm not playing in anybody's "sandbox". My point is it doesn't matter if someone's Facebook is devoid of "sinister images or content", and that such a situation doesn't help us determine anything. Genius.

Facts:
Zimmerman head wound in the back of his head. Bloodied face. Grass stains over the back of his shirt. Indicates he was on his back when beaten
Zimmerman yelling for help as confirmed by the kids father.
Now we need to0 know if the gunshot was up close. Was it in front? Either confirmed would indicate that the fight was as told to the police.
Now Race. It doesn’t have to be about race until it happens to be a black guy, but if he wants to wear his hoodie up, pants down low acting like a hoodlum then the first impression is that it is a HOODLUM! Questioning a person appearing to be a hood is not out of the question. Just ask the 90 year old man who just lost his wife of 65 yeare to one of these pieces of human debris who just happens to be a YOUNG BLACK BOY!

Last I checked “F-ing Coon” Was considered to be a racial slur against people of color. That is either wrong or not but either way it is not a lie. So take your personal attacks elsewhere.

There are claims of that but no proof. People claim they can hear him say that, some say he said “goons”. Your prejudice is speaking much louder than your words.

Really? What is it saying? Because I don't detect any. Who exactly am I imply prejudice toward? You are awfully free and easy with the personal insults.
