>“I had [his girlfriend] call juvenile justice, just to check and see if anyone by the name of Trayvon Martin had been picked up. No Trayvon Martin,” the father told NNPA publishers. “My next call was to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Department to see if any kid had been picked up.

“My third call was to a non-emergency number at the Seminole County Sheriff’s Department and I informed them that I was filing a missing person’s report.

Interesting. The third possibility - in his father’s mind - was that Trayvon was missing. After he decided he hadn’t been arrested.

“Tracy Martin was unaware that his honor roll son, who was visiting from Miami, had been killed around 7 p.m. that Sunday.”

Honor roll son. Man, these guys are full of crap, aren’t they?

Lipstick, meet Pig!

Sorry, I just can't stop that voice in the back of my mind that wonders, in a ripple in the pond sort of way, how many lives Zimmerman saved that day.

That’s what we’re dealing with. Who on the MSM is going to have gonads to tell it like it is?

Those tapes – which show that Zimmerman disobeyed the 911 dispatcher’s directive

Saying "We don't need you to do that" is not a "directive." It's a suggestion. In addition to the myriad other misleading statements and mischaracterizations in this writing.

This is the first time I've seen Zimmerman described as "non-Black." Ridiculous.

The wagist blog has been doing all of the heavy lifting investigative reporting on the Trayvon case. They were the ones who found his Twitter account and the gangsta handle he had and those recent photos of him with grill teeth and tats that belied the angelic innocent image that the press swallowed hook line and sinker from the Martin family lawyer.

The reporter Dan Linehan from Wagist has been attacked from all sides for his stellar reporting. Even his editor wrote an editorial today saying that he had done stellar reporting, but then apologized for the content. I suggest that everyone go on wagist and commend Dan Linehan for his stellar reporting: http://www.wagist.com/2012/dan-linehan/misconceptions-in-the-trayvon-martin-case

..................................Sharpton led a rally Thursday night of more than 30,000 people in Sanford, many of them arriving from around the nation. Referring to the police chief, Sharpton said, “We did not come here for a temporary leave of absence. We came for permanent justice – arrest Zimmerman now.”.........................................

I would like to see this many people interested in the nomination of the Republican nominee to DEFEAT obama!

They repeat the 911 dispatcher’s words like they are magic.

A dispatcher saying “ok, I don’t need you to do that” does not equal a police command. Nor does it mean that no matter what happens next, you are guilty.

The stupid reporters keep repeating this phrase to anyone who says Zimmerman was attacked, then they zombie-like keep asking “ do you still believe that even after the dispatcher said THIS!”

This is about formulating and judging by public opinion, or how the New Black Panthers put it, “...because the New Black Panther Party member doesn’t “obey the white man’s law,” but rather the “street people’s law.”

You need to post this to it’s own thread IMO. Then have maggie attach her “how to create a race riot” information

And here’s the story from three days ago from www.wagist.com that dug into Trayvon’s thuggisth background. Lots of mainstream reporters took their lead from this reporting:http://www.wagist.com/2012/dan-linehan/was-trayvon-martin-a-drug-dealer

Now the reporter’s boss on this piece is half apologizing for the reporter’s stellar reporting, where the mainstream media never bothered to tread. I recommend giving credit to the reporter, Dan Linehan. http://www.wagist.com/2012/dan-linehan/was-trayvon-martin-a-drug-dealer

Wow. Accurate ... but not exactly.
Yes, Mr. Zimmerman is 'non-black'...OK
Yes, at one point Mr. Zimmerman confronted Mr. Martin and fatally shot him in the chest... But according to eye witnesses, supported by the available physical evidence, this confrontation and fatal shooting occurred while Mr. Martin was attacking Mr. Zimmerman, broke his nose, and was sitting on top of him in the process of pounding his head into the cement.
Kind of some important details to leave out... But at least the reporter got the 'non-black' part right. That was important. And Mr. Martin was an honor student. Also important (but not those three suspensions from school ... that wasn't important).

In 1993 Curry published a bold depiction of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas with an Aunt Jemima handkerchief on his head on the front cover.

Also, if you listen to the 911 call, you can hear Zimmerman stop running about 5 seconds after the -request- was stated.

He said OK, then obeyed it.

Can you please explain why you labeled this as a "must read? It is another regurgitation of the same one-sided story that the media has pushed on us for the past 2 weeks.

Poor little thug Trayvon was stalked by a 'non-black'. Yada, yada yada ...

Why the desire to give this propaganda the wide viewing of this forum?

From the article: “I had [his girlfriend] call juvenile justice, just to check and see if anyone by the name of Trayvon Martin had been picked up."

How sad that being picked-up by the police appears more likely than, say, being hit by a bus.

Zimmerman was only following obama’s advice from 2008. “If they bring a knife to the fight, WE BRING A GUN”. Ain’t that right, kenyan? Too bad your “son” decided to pick a fight that night. He lost.

I actually read a good amount of the Twitter feed and I’ve seen the picture with the shiny grill. But I haven’t seen the pictures showing the tats. Do you have a link?

So I thought that Martin laid in the morgue for 3 days before the father found out.
