Ever notice how it is almost always “Zimmerman” and “Travon” in the news.

Last name the stranger. First name the friend.

Never would the headline read: “Source: George says Martin circled his SUV, frightened him”

Very interesting. You're right.

Good catch.

“Referring to Martin by his first name and Zimmerman by his last is just one small tactic in the national media campaign to make Martin’s death an enduring symbol of white racism.”

It could also be, last name - the adult, first name - the child, but I wouldn't necessarily put too much weight on it.

It could just be that they used the most distinctive names, (which, of course, helps tell their deceitful story).
