As soon as Investigator Angela Corey said this was about “justice for Trayvon”, you knew Zimmerman was in trouble.

That being said, I am reserving judgement on what I think happened until I have more facts.

If Trayvon did attack Zimmerman, then Zimmerman had every right to defend himself.

If Zimmerman pursued Trayvon, started a fight with him, and then shot him, then it changes things.

We don’t know what Trayvon was up to that night. Was he really just walking home from 7-11 with a snack, or was he burgling? Did Zimmerman catch him doing something, confront him, get attacked, and then shoot him? Lots of questions still.

To me, the biggest story is the way the media jumped on this thing and fanned the flames without having the facts. They showed photos of Trayvon from when he was 12, rather than more recent pictures of him with the gold teeth. The media was definitely trying to influence opinion. They doctored a tape to make Zimmerman appear racist. They insisted he said “coon” when it turns out he said “cold”. They showed photos of Zimmerman in a prison jump suit. They insisted he was white, then “white-hispanic”. They repeatedly told us that Martin was carrying Skittles and iced tea, as if that alone absolves him of any possible wrongdoing (because everyone knows you can’t do anything bad whilst carrying Skittles and iced tea). The media allowed Al Sharpton to lead a protest, and then host a show covering the protest.

The media jumped to conclusions without the facts. I’m not going to do that. Need more facts.

By the way, can you believe that we are back at the Orlando courthouse? What is it about that place?

Don’t forget about her calling for prayers for Trayvon’s “sweet parents”.

Zimm is being Nifonged here. I can only hope he not only comes out of this as successful as the Duke boys, I hope he comes out alive.

Meanwhile our racist A-hole AG is promising to look into this matter. Not the laws that have been broken by the New Black Pampers and the Hate Crimes they have committed. No sir.

He is looking to see if Z is guilty of any trumped up federal charges.
