What Do You Guys Think of the Treyvon Martin Shooting in Florida?

[tank_monkey]

Why call him anything? There is no need to say "he's black" or "she's white" or "he's hispanic" etc.... doing so just keeps groups segregated and promotes more racism.

Seriously Krupski? you Don't understand why Black militants or LIBERALS keep calling him white? You don't understand that they're trying to stoke the fires of racial discord because it serves their agenda? what rock have you been hiding under? I want a similar rock......

Come on I understand perfectly well what "they" are trying to do.

I'm just stating that things would be a lot better if distinctions WEREN'T made.

I think this is a crime as in murder, but it reminds me of a tv show of the 80s for some reason.

[mrkalashnikov]

I've taken the liberty of copying this poster's comments from another web site discussing the shooting:

"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 made public by a local Orlando television station on 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.

This past weekend in Chicago alone, black and Latino gangbabgers shot 10 people and wounded 40. The youngest fatality is only six years old. This received no national coverage. Why does this one shooting warrant weeks of coverage?

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?"

And on top of these facts...we now have President Barry weighing in with more inflammatory words, comparing the deceased to a son he's never had. Never mind the irrefutable fact that blacks kill other blacks (and whites) at a much higher rate in this country every year than the other way around.

This whole situation has turned into a propoganda windfall for the race-pimps and professional haters in the US like Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakan, Jesse Jackson, the entire NAACP, et al, make no mistake about it.

Plus, since the police already declined to press any charges, they will probably stick with that decision regardless so that they don't come out looking "incompetent" or "indecisive".

My guess is the local PD is operating on state and/or Fed instructions. Combined they will collectively destroy Zimmerman. State has anointed a Special Prosecutor. Feds are looking at civil rights violations.

So far as guilty or not guilty that will not matter.

Censored or not available? The media in this case can't report on a witness that they didn't know about. As I understand it the fact that there was a witness just came to light yesterday, are you saying that it was known that there was an eye witness back on 2/27?. The police don't seem to have made much of the investigation public. Zimmerman hasn't been making statements that I'm aware of but the young mans family sure has.

There is some information coming out now. A witness to the incident, that gave a report to the police that night but didn't want to deal with the press, has now talked to the press.

Martin attacked Zimmerman while Zimmerman was returning to his vehicle. Martin (whom I've read elsewhere is 6'3") was on top of Zimmerman pounding him when the shot was fired. Zimmerman was bloodied on his face and the back of his head. It was Zimmerman who was yelling for help, not Martin. You can read and watch about it here:

True Riddick, you are right. It would be Regional. Mostly in Big Cities, that have a large Minority Population. I did not mean to say in my Area, or anyone else's. However, Do you recall what happened with That Black man that was beaten by the L.A.P.D. with Batton's? I cant remember his Name, Rodney Something, but it happened in 1991. LA was on Fire, White People in Car's were being attacked by Black's in Masse. This was just one City, and one Small Event. Imagen a National Emergency on a grand Scale. This was after the Court had ruled on the Trial.

If our next civil war is a race war, the blacks are going to find out just how "bad" the crackers really are... they would de well to behave themselves.

Those people that were attacked by the black mobs were unprepared.

Having some forewarning and a little prep will result in far different results.

My opinion of this case is slowly changing to support the Zimmershooter but time will tell. Unfortunatly the special prosecuter assigned isn't all she's cracked up to be.

Cut and pasted the statements that jumped out at me. Wondering how Rev Al, et. all, had time to quit there protesting in Chicago to go to Orlando and how long till they fly back to Chicago.......

Chicago's turning into a war zone early this year, due in part to the mild winter and warm spring. Dozens of people getting shot & killed on the streets, including little kids.

Funny, none of the shooters have been white (except for police shootings, usually justified). What's even funnier...not a peep out of our assorted home-grown race pimps such as Jesse J, Father Phleger, Farrakan, & Mr Obama. And don't forget all the storefront "Reverends" w/ the bogus divinity degrees.

Yet they somehow find the time and energy to travel to Sanford FL to call for the head of a guy who may or may not, have been involved in a justified shooting. Or if their busy schedule precludes them from jetting down there personally, go on national TV and make incendiary statements trying and convicting Zimmerman in the media.

[coppertales]

was not reported is because the MSM editorializes their reporting to fit their agenda. Now that the fires of discontient have been stoked, whatever the witness says is no longer a factor.

If Zimmerman had a white person in his linage, that makes him white to the blacks, what does that make obummer? chris3

I believe this just about sums it up. Great post.

You can't argue with these statistics, but what they don't (and can't) show is how many Whites will rally to the aid of the minorities against other Whites. Plus you have those Whites who will not bother to do anything. Period.
This number will substantially cut into the number of the White "majority" shown here. Sad, but true.

ALWAYS I have maintained Bill Clinton is the first and only black president. Barry is white. Barry was using the Reverend Wright and his church trying to build some black creds....not the other way around.

I just don't care for the race pimps on either side, for me this comes down to the same as every shooting, was there a justifiable reason for the shot?
