EastCoastNiner Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Alright, here it goes. Reading the story and hearing about it when it first happened, it certainly seemed like Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin for little reason. Zimmerman probably should have stayed in his car and not approached Trayvon. The police reports and witness statements aren't completely on the same page either. Some claim the screaming was Zimmerman in the audio tapes, and some claim it was Trayvon. From what I've read and heard so far, I'm leaning towards saying Zimmmerman is in the wrong here, but I'm not going to say he's 100% guiltily right now. However, a few things about this case and other cases amuse me and anger me. The liberal media is trying to make Zimmerman seem like he's a white man in order to build their "sexy" story about a white man killing a black boy/young adult for what seems to be little reasons. Shall we examine how the media is changing Zimmerman's image on television and on the internet? Here is what he actually looks like: http://www.myfabulousstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/george-zimmerman.jpg Here is what the liberal media is trying to make him look like: http://media2.abcactionnews.com//photo/2012/03/20/George_Zimmerman_20120320013947_320_240.JPG They're trying to make him as white as possible to make their "sexy" story. Oh, and here's the past that pisses me off the most. I don't want to say Trayvon's murder isn't as bad as some other murders, but here's a murder case that got ZERO attention from CNN when it happened. When I say zero, I mean there was legitimately not ONE trace of this story in CNN's online data-base. Once they and other media outlets such as MSNBC, ABC, etc, were called out by Fox News and other media outlets that covered the story, those stations tried to cover their asses by starting to barely cover the story: Here's the story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom Here's your convicted murderers: http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/replicate/EXID30576/images/montage-knoxville3.jpg Hmmm, I wonder why this case wasn't covered by most media outlets...... Oh, because most media outlets are afraid to be labeled racist for reporting stories about black on white crime. It's truly pathetic. Oh, where were Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson? Why didn't they come out to play? Oh, and I'll leave you with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5IhFvIjnpI&feature=player_embedded 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I do think Zimmerman is wrong here but I also beliee there's more to this than we know or may ever know. Zimmerman sustained a broken nose and head injuries. IMO he went too far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Interesting report tonight on Dateline NBC about the situation. Definitely recommend watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkinDerozan Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Watched the Dateline thing about it. It's really hard to tell whats going on. The kid had skittles, an iced tea and $22 on him. No knife, no gun, or anything that would warrant the need to pull out a gun. Its really awful for the parents, family and friends of Trayvon. If it wasn't for the fact that Zimmerman was injured, it would be pretty obvious that he was in the wrong. Oh and also, they had a friend of Zimmerman on the show was was black, and said he has never seen any racisim from him. I think it was more the fact that it was a teenager with his hood up that made Zimmerman suspicious of him. I know first hand, that there are a lot of people out there that have a stereo type on teenagers as peopel that are just out to steal shit and vandalize.

From everything I have read and hear, Trayvon Martin's father did not say that is was not his sons voice screaming for help, but rather that he could not tell if it was his son for sure because it was hard to make out who was yelling. There's some other crap in this article that is factually wrong as well. Not to mention that you don't have to do something SOOOOO bad to be suspended from school for five days. The author (if I can even call him that) of this article wanted to make it seem like Trayvon Martin committed some terrible act to be suspended from school. I'm keeping an open mind, but I'm closing my mind about this article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimmerman sustained a broken nose and head injuries. IMO he went too far though.Yeah, I agree.Something isn't adding up. There must have been a scuffle. Some eye witnesses say there was a fight, others say there was no physical alteracation, just verbal. Black Panthers put a 1 million dollar bounty on Zimmerman.That's not right either, Black Panthers are 100% in the wrong to put that out. The thing that gets me is no arrest? I don't get that. He still shot & killed the kid. Zimmerman absolutely deserves his day in court, but the fact he's a free man blows my mind sry And Flash if ur gonna post a pic of trayvon [expletive]ing around might as well be fair and post that Zimmerman has had criminal history and been accused of domestic violence.

Flash Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I also didn't know that ZImmerman had a record but it shows that in once instance the charges were dropped and in the domestic dispute charges were never even filed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully justice is served. I'd say it's like 80/20 the guy is guilty from what I've read. But no one knows for sure ever in a case like this. so many variables Edited March 26, 2012 by JYD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
