This case is going ballistic. It will be bigger than the Duke 'rape' hoax.  :ready-to-eat:

Here's what I don't get- when I think of a black, or a Mexican, or a White guy, not involved in criminal behavior- I think of them walking around in 'normal' pants, not baggy; I don't think of them walking around in 'hoodies' with hoody covering their head (like Trayvon Martin), but with a normal sweater; I don't think of them just walking aimlessly around the street, but 'walking with a purpose'.

What really 'grinds my gears' is that these people associate themselves, via their deportment and dress, with how 'gangsta's' act. Then, they are mad when you actually stereotype them with criminals- well if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and acts like a duck.... but these people are apparently too stupid to get that.

My dad, who is lebanese and would be considered a racist by most people standards for his criticism of American blacks, has a very peculiar history; when he owned his produce market, one of his best friends was a black man. Actually, he was a Catholic black man; Cornelius King; God rest his soul, I'll never forget him. The strongest 70 year old man I'd ever met- he was as strong as a 40 year old, and looked no older than a day over 50. My dad isn't a racist- he's a human being, and will and should be able to criticism a people as a whole, if the majority of them act like bafoons. This doesn't mean he should have to give his daughters over to them (never mind what some people here tell you), or never be friends with any of them.

Does this mean there's no such thing as a racist? Nope- surely there are people who are actually hateful against other human beings based on their skin color and race- Protestants are infamous of this, as are many Catholics who are sympathetic to their ideas. But using a basic human instinct- like gathering information about a population (human, animal, plant, etc) and making a general determination on it is not racism; its human nature.

The second term will see the blood of 'white' people flow in the streets.

Riiiiiiiighhhhttt....

Trayvon Martin was on top of Zimmerman punching him when he was shot! Media has known since Feb. 27th.  Talk about media censorship and mass blackouts of the truth.

Trayvon Martin was on top of Zimmerman punching him when he was shot.

Besides the fact that almost all media outlets have lied about what race George Zimmerman is (he is a Latino/Mestizo), they are also censoring major important details of the case. Some have even published wild opinions about the 911 calls as if the opinions were factual statements.

Would you be surprised to know that the statements of the eyewitness are being censored in almost every media story about the shooting?

1. When police officers arrived, George Zimmerman had a bloody nose and was bleeding from a wound on the back on his head.
2. The eyewitness who called 911 said Zimmerman who screamed for help.
3. The eyewitness also reports that Zimmerman was on the ground and Martin was on top of him beating on him.

This information was public knowledge at least as early as February 27th.We now have 22 days of rampant media reports that omit these facts. Once you see what information the police had, it is obvious why they did not arrest him. They were simply abiding by Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law. Police are now required to have evidence that a shooter was not acting in self-defense.

How many times have you heard the phrase “Trayvon Martin was a cheerful person,” but you had never heard the words of the eye-witness to the shooting?

Each time you see a “mainstream” news outlet rant about the Zimmerman/Martin case, ask yourself why these three facts mentioned above are missing from the story. Ask yourself why the media is called Zimmerman a white man instead of a Latino. Ask yourself if you think the story is really news or is it agitation/propaganda designed to advance a political agenda.

Even if you think Zimmerman was completely unjustified in firing his gun; ask yourself why 99% of the now thousands of articles are solely from the point of view of the grieving family without trying give a balanced account of the events.

Looks like Zimmermann is a wanna-be cop who was eager to use his gun.

My sympathy is for the family of Trayvon Martin.  

Well don't be too quick to judge Elizabeth, you weren't there, not in his shoes, don't know exactly what was going down at the scene. And people panic when in these situations, fear is a major factor.

Besides that, some folks are getting damn tired of being victims.

BTW, have you ever been a victim of a violent crime?  I have and I have members of my family murdered because of such crimes, it's no joke and tears a family apart.I have numerous times and have been attacked and harassed because of the color of my skin (Not black) amongst other things more than once in my life.

I don't know exactly what that kid was up to but i wouldn't doubt for a minute it was no good. Or maybe he just wanted to prove a point so many blacks have this chip on their shoulders that they can say or do whatever the hell they want, whenever they feel like it and maybe this Zimmerman was not the guy to push around that night (or day, I'm not sure). whatever the case, I have a sneaking suspicion that ol "Tray-von" was looking for trouble and like my father used to tell me, you go looking for it hard enough, you'll find it.

The bottom line here is, people need to leave other people alone, that's what always worked in civilization but seems a good proportion of our population just don't get it. So, that's when poor, innocent lads like little T Martin wind up full of holes.

I know there is much more to the story here than what we're being fed.

Also- do you notice that there is no image of a 17 year old for Trayvon Martin? The picture of him is one which is an "undated image" and which has been described to as an image of Martin when he was "younger". Interesting they don't use an image of a 17 year old black 'man' but a black 'boy'.

Geraldo is now in on the act-- he is calling 'hoodies' possible murderers.
