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 The media also fills their articles with outdated baby-faced pictures of Trayvon.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

,,,, because black on black murder and violence is acceptable .
Simple as that !!!
This is what passes for entertainment and distraction during the Obama Depression.
Interesting!!! The Black racists are mighty quiet today!!! And.....Obama looks like the political buffoon he is!!! If American Blacks believe Obama is the one, then sadly to say they are going to be adrift at sea for the next hundred years!!! Very sad...but true!!! Self-inflicted wounds in support of Obama (like voting for him) have only brought the Black community record unemployment, more poverty and continuing pain and unhappiness, while Obama and his wife, Michelle live like the richest royalty in the world. Sad...Sad....Sad!!!!
I think when this is all said and done, we’ll discover we have no mare than an inept police department that cannot provide the known facts of what happened that night.
No drug tests, sobriety, witness reports, gun shot residue. None of the normal things that should be known, to back up their decision not to arrest.
Lesson learned: this can happen anywhere, especially in small towns. Police decision making is the bad guy for certain (unless they come forward with the above facts). Zimmerman, perhaps so and perhaps not.
“Police play the 911 tape for Trayvon Martin’s father, who tells police that the voice screaming is not the voice of his son.”
Should we mass mail all the media and tell them what schmucks they are?
"..'The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: "Help, help… and I told him to stop and I was calling 911,' he said.
Zimmerman was wearing a red sweater; Martin was in a grey hoodie.
He added: 'When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point.'.."
If a person is mounted and is getting a beating him he might fear for his life and be justified in shooting. Zimmerman was not obliged to take a beating even if he should not have followed Trayvon.
If the kid would have called the cops “Hey some dude is following me”....he’d be alive today. nuf said.
Like Global Warming, the Trayvon Martin story is just another IQ test -- the stupid people are convinced of something despite a total lack of supporting evidence.
Well if thats the case. Case solved, next.
It could have happened that way, and a investigation might prove it. But, the author fails to provide any 'facts' of proving the shooting occurred that way.
A witness describes Mr. Martin on top, but the article fails to mention Mr. Zimmerman shooting Mr. Martin in that situation.
Witnesses and facts won’t matter in the case
Exactly... Would I feel any worse for the family if the media told me the truth? (That the murderer was not white, but Hispanic descent. That the neighborhood wasn’t some lily white pristine town. But one that is 51% minority with crime on the rise.) Absolutely not.
All we ask for is honesty in reporting. And let us decide. When you spin and lie, you look foolish after the facts.
following someone in a public space is not a crime, right?
Zimmerman is the neighborhood watch captain. He had every right to follow Martin. He was making sure Martin was not up to no good. I would have done the same!
Sadly, the facts don’t matter.
The narrative is out there now, that this was a poor defenseless black boy, shot for no reason by a white (white Hispanic) racist with a gun.
So now we have to have liberal angst about how America is violent, racist, bigoted, gun loving, and has not changed since the days of Emmitt Till.
Facts don’t matter to the liberals. All that matters is they have a cause celebre to push their agenda.
This could become the Duke lacrosse case all over again. At the end of the day, the liberals were thoroughly discredited in that case. Time will tell on this one.
“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.”
Why? Because down on their inner city ghetto plantations, Obama and his ilk find black on black murders and violence perfectly acceptable. To them, only white on black violence is newsworthy and to be politically exploited.
The guy is not an anonymous onlooker. He’s the guy that called 911 during the attack. The police know who he is and interviewed him. He is the reason that Zimmerman was not arrested.
The 10 people murdered in Chicago last weekend, including a beautiful 6 year old little girl, never received any condolence calls from Obama..no vigil in their honor..no bounty on the heads of their killers..not a peep from the media, like their lives did not matter. This is what the left is, they only show “Outrage” when they can capitalize on it, otherwise people can continue to die and no one utters a word. Apparently its all good to murder blacks, as long as the perpetrator is another black person. That is the lesson I learned this week. I wonder how the victims in the Chicago massacre feel about the guy they probably voted for, not giving a damn about their family members who were murdered.
For many years, black youth gangs have laid waste to large sections of our major cities. They have been involved in murder, drugs, and God knows what other criminal activity.
Yet, the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, and the assorted liberal talking heads, almost never mention this ongoing pandemic of violence among ghetto people.
So, they decide to focus on this one singular tragic case, and extrapolate from this, that America is racist, bigoted, and has not changed since the days of Jim Crow segregation, and tragedies such as the Emmitt Till case.
They want us to believe that the biggest danger to our black youth are crazed racists with guns, when in fact, the biggest danger to black youth are other black men with guns.
Zimmerman has been a busy guy. The link below is a PDF of all his 911 calls in regard to his neighborhood watch.
It certainly sheds an interesting light on this neighborhood.
I for one believe Obama has sunk to a new low this time. Once again, he stupidly jumps to a racial conclusion without all the facts. The Zero can take his clown a$$ for a short walk on a long pier.
