That doesn't fit the liberal narrative. So it must be false.

Because the media initially thought Zimmerman was white...then it was too late to stop the snowball effect once they discovered he was not...and then thought they could connect it to Stand Your Ground initiatives, which also played no part.

Even if Zimmerman was Cambodian, this would still be headline news.

No it would not...just as the information in the OP points out. That is the whole point of the post.

Yea, thats pretty jacked for the parents. I have to read up on this I guess, I haven't payed any attention to this really so I honestly have no clue whats going on.

The article brings up interesting points, but it has nothing to do with what happened in Florida. People are outraged because an innocent minor, minding his own business, was stalked and gunned down....and his killer remains free. Nothing would change if Trayvon and his killer were white....except naturally the black community would care a lot less.

Yeah, read up on it....it's honestly one of the most intriguing/bizarre incidents I've heard about in a while.

there may be race issues, but they certainly take a back seat to the rest of the problems here. That does not make the actual race issues moronic.

6 year old girl was shot along with 38...why aren't you discussing that ..they had 38 shot and 10 deaths in a WEEKEND or some shit !!! Where's the outrage about that ? Thats why this event is sad..RIP to young man who was killed ...but I have heard the story he actually assaulted the shooter who was going back to his car and was handing out a beating after coldcocking him..so I don't know..I heard thats why the cops let him go and there was a witness who said the same thing ..

Thats just what I hear but of course there are always 2 sides to the story ...it's just turned into a "political opportunity" and some have gladly( Sharpton..who has wrongly accused many many innocent people countless in the past ..Duke lacross..some guy of rape..who WAS INNOCENT ..ALL OF THEM ) rushed to judgement ...

I would think it's a crime of some sort ...but what ...manslaughter ? IDK ...what are the real facts..the witness said Zimmerman was ASSAULTED and was being brutally beat and ..the screams on the 911 call ...those have been confirmed as Zimmerman...

So IDK ....people -black-white-brown-yellow ..get shot every day ..sucks we live in a violent society. But we do
It's now a media/political circus ...thats what I see.

Well...if that ass beating is going to take your life...where I'm from..you kill the guy. If someone assaults me and I have a gun and he WON'T STOP . That guy will either be in the ER or dead. That may have been just what happened.

C'mon no matter where you are from..you do that !!!

Let's say I'm freaking Bruce Lee..and curb stomp him ..or yank out his eyes? Would that be OK in defense? Would that be OK if Martin allegedly ..walked up on the Zimmerman guy and coldcocked him ( according to a witness) and proceeded to beat on him?

IDK if Martin just socked him up and split..right??? ...but it sounded to me like the witness said he was slamming his head into the pavement..This is all the stuff thats coming to light..AFTER this RUSH to judgement..ya know..

SO THAT WOULD BE TIME TO KILL ANOTHER MAN.

What if it was the other way around and Martin killed Zimmerman in self defense ? Would Shapton still be protesting? Probably not....scratch that ..OF COURSED NOT . ...no matter what it was ":Whiteys" fault ...errr the Latino/White...ya know ?
Racism isn't freaking out of control and this was just an everyday act of violence that some jumped on to to get folks riled up ( election year ) Even the POTUS is talking about it ....it's sad because its a life and this event shouldn't be a political tool ...I'm not even calling it murder ( maybe it is..maybe it isn't) ..because I don't know exactly what happened.

RIP to Martin anyways.

phear, why do you always stoop to painting groups with a broad brush? Why do you always stoop to being rude and insulting? What does it accomplish? You are far more intelligent than Low5Point and Gr8ythunter, but when you write things like this, you don't appear to be.

Sorry randy, but I've got to ask. Where is the evidence?

We have a 911 call that says Zimmerman was told not to pursue, and he did. But what does that prove, that he's an idiot sure, but guilty of cold-blooded murder?

We have Zimmerman's word that he was being attacked.
We have injuries to Zimmerman's person that support that version of events.
We have witnesses who support that version of events.

We have a 911 call in which we hear someone calling for help. The Martin family says it's Trayvon's voice. But the police and witnesses say it was Zimmerman. So who knows?

So again I ask, where is the evidence that the police were wrong to release him? Where is the evidence that Zimmerman was not acting in self-defense? Because the police aren't going to lay out charges unless they can prove them. And I'm still waiting for the evidence that proves Zimmerman a liar.
