Trayvon

[JohnR]

I wish Mega Millions was tonight because in a rare lunar alignment I agree with both Larry and Dangles at the same time.

The media has gone beyond their job (not in a good way). They brought light to this where it was needed and this at least deserves another look deeply into the facts to make sure justice was not missed. If Zimmerman and this case did not get the full inspection that it deserves, it certainly should. The Facts. They investigated and helped bring to light a possible injustice. The law should be color blind and the media too. But the media has since joined the ranks of the race baiters like Sharpton and now are doing a disservice to Trayvon.

Guys like Sharpton need events like this to survive and drive the point home of White -v- Black. This is their money gig. Their self licking Ice Cream Cone. Their industry of Racism, Inc.

Unfortunately, we should NOT be hearing from the President on this "If I had a son he would look like Trayvon" comment. He started off so well, stating this was a local matter and that he should not comment, and that he was glad the state of FL was investigating more. And then he pours fuel on the fire. Good election material for firing up people.

What we need is a just the facts mam Joe Friday investigation. No race, no opinion, just the facts.

Sadly we are not as far along as a country as I'd hoped. No Black Americans, no white Americans, just Americans. We ain't there yet.

I agree John....just "Americans"! Jackson and Sharpton try to act as though they are against racism but the fact is they are just against racism against black Americans! They do exist just for times like these and they never make things better.....they are nothing but divisive users who exploit situations like these and turn them into a "black vs. white" thing!!! I would like 30 seconds with these 2 morons to point out who the racists are....its Jackson and Sharpton!!

"the real criminals?" They are criminals, yes, but the real criminals implies that the guy who follows and shoots an unarmed kid is not a criminal. That isn't what you meant, is it?

Zimmy, you liberals crack me up. You all still have egg dripping on your faces from the Duke lacrosse case. Remember that? In the immediate aftermath of that accusation, all the liberals were crucifying the accused lacrosse players, the NAACP established a college scholarship fund for the victim (who turned out to be a murderer). Do ANY liberals remember how that turned out?

Despite recent empirical evidence showing how stupid it is to jump to conclusions, all of the same liberal hucksters are now saying the exact same things about this case. Earth to liberals...they are investigating. A special state prosecutor has been assigned, and the Justice Dept is looking into federal violations. If Zimmerman broke the law, he'll answer for that. But how about we let the pro's determine which, if any, laws were actually broken here. There is a presumption of innocence in this country, and that applies even when the deceased happens to be black.

Paul, what did I say that's not true, exactly? Anything?

In the immediate aftermath of the Duke lacrosse case, before anyone knew what happened, the accused lacrosse players were excoriated by liberals in the media. They all looked very stupid when the truth came out, and the important lesson to be learned was not to convict the accused before the facts are known.

A few years later, we have this horrible situation in FL. The liberals are doing the exact same thing (the media nitwits, in addition to professional agitators like Sharpton). They have learned nothing from their ambarassing performance in the Duke lacrosse case. Zimmy implied that Zimmerman is a real criminal. Unless Zimmy knows something about this case that the media hasn't released yet, it's premature to conclude that...

I'm deeply sorry if my pointing out the irrefutable truth about the bias and incompetence of liberals in these cases, and their stubborn, inexplicable refusal to learn from their embarassing mistakes, has ruined this thread for you.

So you must know this as fact. Please tell us how.

Here's how he knows this as fact...because it supports his liberal narrative, and that's good enough for most liberals...Why quibble over trivial details, such as what actually happened for example? Details, shmetails...

I am not sure what you mean. "know this as fact?" What are you talking about? The black panthers? Yes, the bounty makes them criminals. As far as Zimmerman, there is no disputing that he followed the kid. The kid was unarmed. The kid got shot. No one disputes that.

I missed it...what crime has Zimmerman been charged and convicted of?

Funny, w/o those 2 you wouldn't have heard about it. While they do make jack asses of themselves at times, they do bring light to some racist acts. According to the FBI, with like 12.5% of the pop, blacks are targets of like 70% of all racial hate crime in the US. I'm sure that if those 2 stopped discussing racism, you'd step up though.

It's one thing to step up when it IS racism....its another thing to always "step up" and make it about race.

That is what those 2 guys always seem to do.

What they do is dilute what is actually the problem with racism in the country by always "Crying Wolf" every chance they get.

Sometimes you actually lost your job because you're lazy...not because your black

Sometimes the Man actually got the promotion because he's the better choice...not because you are a women.

if people stopped claiming it everytime something doesn't go their way....maybe it might finally get fixed....

Very interesting column....

Trayvon Martin case exposes worst in media | The Cutline - Yahoo! News

"NBC told the Washington Post that it has launched an internal investigation of the "Today" show's editorial process after its morning show aired an edited conversation between George Zimmerman and a 911 dispatcher recorded moments before the shooting. The investigation came after Fox News and others pointed out that the network spliced two parts of the call together, making it appear as if Zimmerman had said, "This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black." In reality, Zimmerman was answering a dispatcher's question:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.

Dispatcher: OK, and this guy--is he black, white or Hispanic?

Zimmerman: He looks black."

Damn that Fox news!!!

Allot of our problems are brought on by the media. It works both ways, less we forget the Charles Stewart case.
The media is not about the truth!!!!
