If that’s a model student, I’d hate to see a bad one...

patato/patoto as far as I’m concerned. If you want to go after “artistic fiction” you might try reviewing the way the media is portraying this whole event. The actual facts of the case, police report and eye witness account, show this as a clear case of self defense. But you go ahead and focus on the trivial if you want.

When they stop showing a picture of a 13 year old and show a proper picture of TM at the age of 17 then they will be going in the right direction. It's similar to a lion mauling a child then showing the picture of the lion as a cub it's very deceptive.

I agree. Both left and right are needlessly making this a political cause celebre. Lots of knee jerk reactions.

The boob probably went to print before all the stuff poured out about Martin. How many times do these guys have to have egg on their faces before they get their act together??

The unbelievably stupid and cynical Mike Barnacle was busily lying about the case on Morning Joe this morning.

So if they embellish and twist the facts it's OK if we do it too? Go right ahead but I will call you on it.

The actual facts of the case, police report and eye witness account, show this as a clear case of self defense.

I agree but that is totally irrelevant to my response above and irrelevant to whatever happened with Trayvon and the bus driver/marijuana baggie.

Didn’t you know that according to the MSM all students in inner city schools are Honor Students. I have heard this meme about teenage thugs for the last thirty years. They are always honor students.

“One of them was a 17-year-old who seems to have been innocent. “

BS. Innocent people don’t attack someone walking away and beat them bloody. That is called assault and is a crime.

The blog is dated today but I didn’t click on the link to check the date at the site. It seems just as twisted as any media version of events.

I have read at least a dozen of your posts in various threads on this subject, and every one of them has a surplus of sarcasm but add little or nothing to the discussion.

Sarcasm is both fun and valuable in forums like FR, but that can’t be your entire range of discourse.

What exactly is your view on this situation? I am curious.

I agree with the point Lonsberry is making here (though we’re learning more about the FACTS each day)..the left and in particular the hustlers like Sharpton and Jackson are shamelessly exploiting the death of this young man and his family’s sorrow.

I live about 8 miles from where this happened and can tell you it’s VERY tense here. People have drawn sides like nothing I’ve seen in years and no one gives a damn about the facts- WHATEVER they may teach us.

Civilian workers at some local PD’s are being escorted by security to and from work- that’s how serious the threats are to local law enforcement.

Lonsberry is correct- this is NOT about Martin. This is about stoking the fires of bitterness, resentment, misunderstanding and utter hate.

If anything, this whole mess should be about teaching kids (black and white) to stop glorifying the gangster lifestyle.

Pull up your pants, respect others, quit trying to out-gangster each other, learn a trade, stay in and do well in school, stop making fatherless babies, go to church..

Can I get an amen?

"Didn’t you know that according to the MSM all students in inner city schools are Honor Students."

I don't think they're referring to their academic accomplishments, but their sexual accomplishments: On her...off her.

Couldn't resist ;-)

Well, he may have just decided to lie about the kid, who knows? But I’m sure editors are egging on their stupid columnists to write quick, lazily-researched opinion pieces on this strange and awful story.

You never heard of (AP) G ?

That is Advanced Placement Gangsta

Been around .....oh....30 years : )

Also, all newspaper articles about the sons & daughters of

illegal immigrants are only written about honor students.

Why? It is because all sons & daughters of illegal

immigrants, are INDEED all honor students : )

To me Martin’s demise means the taxpayers will have one less of his kind to support with full room & board....including gym facilities in a Crossbars Hotel.......
