Old photos may be deceptive in Fla. shooting case

(03-30) 13:43 PDT West Palm Beach, Fla. (AP) --

When he was shot, Trayvon Martin was not the baby-faced boy in the photo that has been on front pages across the country. And George Zimmerman wasn't the beefy-looking figure in the widely published mugshot.

Both photos are a few years old and no longer entirely accurate. Yet they may have helped shape initial public perceptions of the deadly shooting.

“Guess the criticism must be getting to them”

Maybe, but they know that people remember the first story. No one’s paying attention anymore now that they admit they’ve got egg on their face.

Good thing Americans aren’t as dumb as they think we are. If we were we’d be Europe already.

The media vermin knew exactly what they were doing using older photos. They were following axelgreasy orders to hype the racila divide meme. When the chaos hits, I sincerely hope that the meaid whoredom are among the first casualties because they are orchestrating the break down of the Republic by exploiting vulnerable minds so they continue to herd up and vote democrap.

I wonder if they’re getting tipped off that the true story is much different than they portrayed. If so, it’s Richard Jewell all over again. And if so, Zimmerman will be able in the near future to hire his own security guards.

So SF Gate, wat up wit dat??

You got a picture updated for Zimmerman, and you be spewing the same BS for a 13 year old Trayvor?

Common, show an updated picture of the black kid, or did you guys run out of gold ink, so you can’t capture the teeth bling properly?

Lets see:
Zimmerman = white guy killing black kid
Turns out hispanic = “white” hispanic
Trayvon = 12-14 year old cute little boy photo
Zimmerman photo = mugshot orange shirt
gated community = apartment complex with a fence

Any way these pukes can distort and stir up crap they will do it to satify their desire to destroy.

Good thing Trayvon was not packing a Koran when this happened.

The stoopit part is the only likely way to be a “White Hispanic” is if your lineage of Moorish origins.

Then again, that would make them “Arab Hispanics”.

Or sumpin lye dat...

That ought to be the icing on the cake, there. But you still have the liberal sheeple out there that will believe anything they are told and eat up any “newspeak” that is churned into their brains.

I’m still waiting for Geraldo Rivera to identify himself as a “white Hispanic” . . . after all, his parents are the same as Zimmerman’s, only in reverse (Hispanic father, white Jewish mother).

You caught that, too, huh. Not only did they not show the updated picture of a 17 year old thug with tatoos and flipping the bird gangsta style, they only report that he's wearing a white undershirt and has gold teeth.

The thing that has most bothered me about this case is the mother using her son’s death as a revenue source.

Trademarking. My God.
