what press do you feel it needs, they have the guy in custody? right, do you feel the story needs to be palyed as much as much as the Zimmerman?Martin story has? What's your point on this... are you familiar with the killing of Kenneth Chamberlain Sr? No national press on that either...

This story would only merit extensive coverage if the thugs had not been arrested or charged. As it stands, it's just another senseless crime; raising it in this context is a distraction and stinks of racism. The use of the terms "colored" and "Negroes" in the article tips their white hand.

The Chamberlain case is one that does deserve attention. Notice the similarities to the infamous confrontation between Prof. Skip Gates and the Cambridge cops. A black man isn't safe from the police in the USA; even in his own home.

49 people were shot in Chicago during the St. Patrick's Day weekend. At least 10 of those shootings resulted in death. One of the deaths was that of a 6 year old girl. Why has this gotten little to no coverage? Because all the victims and all of the alleged shooters were black. It does not play into the liberal narrative of blacks as victims. Yet, George Zimmerman is the most hated man in the black community. This idiocy is promoted by the DOJ and the WH. Welcome to this Obamanation!

What happened to Trayvon Martin is a tragedy. However, is it anymore of a tragedy than the 1000's of young blacks that are killed annually by other blacks? Of course not, but it gives Shakedown Al Sharpton and Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson something to latch onto and rally the inner city African American base around. Namely this,-white folks hate you, and you must vote for Obummer to protect you. It's fucking pathetic.

Could it be to distract attention from the fact that black unemployment is at a record high of 25.2% since The Great Divider Obummer took office (It's actually higher now btw)? Gee, ya think?!

http://www.floridapoliticalpress.com/2011/09/02/black-unemployment-up-25-2-since...

He sucks. I knew he would. He does. Everyone that has any ability at independent thought knows it. Deal with it!

Oh, and since when has the media ever used the term "white Hispanic"? Gee, I wonder why they would say that? Pathetic!

One and done.

ABO 2012!

Had they done that and allowed the justice system to take its course and decide based on the facts it would be just another story.

one huge diffenrece... charges filed for the killings and cases were they weren't or hadn't been... as was the case with Martins killing until just yesterday, when arrest and charges were made... that is why people get upset over race, not because of the crime, but the investigation or lack of... in the USA violent crimes are rampant... and if you look at the stats, most murders that are commited and prosecuted are same race on same race... black edging out white something like a 10% more (fear of blacks to be discussed soon)... both are very high numbers... we live in a very violent society... anyone whose response to the Zimmerman arrest and that an unarmed teenager was killed with there's blacks killing whites, sickens me... the young man was killed b/c of his color, his skin color created fear in his killer aka prejudice... the whole point of this neighborhood watch was they were looking for black males who apparently had been robbing homes and people... the police allowing Zimmerman to walk after, was a travesty. Allowing the boys body to sit 3 days, a travesty... his family didn't know where he was... his fathers girlfriend lived on the complex he was killed in... he was there often... if your repsonse to this travesty, is to point out how white people have been killed in crimes by black people, than there is something very, very wrong with you... and if you don't see it, please start a new thread... this thread was to be on the arrest and trial, and folow the develpoments, race has been an issue, this is about how race played into this event... but this isn't meant to debate if racism exists... save that for somewhere else, please... this case will be huge, especially to our youth, who have gone well beyond race, sexuality and many other of the old vanguards ism's... this case will help bring out current laws into what our culture has begun to move away from, which is our old prejudices... it's clear by some responses, people like to respond with what is commonly used as the Fox News driven idea, that black people are scary and if they are discriminated against, we will show you just how afraid of them you should be, because they commit crimes against very nice law abiding white people... you make me sick with your foulness.. May travoyn watch over and protect you all!
p.s. this isn't about being liberal as well... that is a load... I don't know one conservative he feels this issue is driven by politcs, and all agree it was a racist act... welcome to Texas, we stand our ground here too... we don't take kidly to idiots! please move along!

With all due respect gimmekeef. Obama inserted himself into this by claiming, "If I had a son he would look like Trayvon." Not only that, but the DOJ, Eric Holder (the most racist AG ever!) has completely ignored the very real, and repeated threats, put on the life of George Zimmerman. They put a bounty on his head FFS, and from the DOJ? Crickets. Add the media's blatant disgusting love affair with Obama and their twisting of the facts, and despicable editing of the 911 call, and you can easily see what they are doing, and why they are doing it. They are laying the narrative for the angle they want the public to believe. That narrative is highly biased and is designed to fan the flames of racial outrage, and to reinvigorate the African American base of the Dem party. It's all politics. Every last bit of it!

It's pathetic, but it's predictable. This fucking clown of a president is trying to divide this country as much as possible. From the bullshit made up "war on women", to the worse case of class warfare I've ever seen from a president. He wants blacks against whites (or white/Hispanics), poor against rich, illegal immigrant against natural citizen, unions vs right to work states, gay against straight, and on, and on, and on.............He sucks. I knew he would. He does.

WORST PRESIDENT EVER! NOT EVEN CLOSE!

It's in many articles. Why you speculate about him being Hebrew or not I don't understand.

Tutoring, is that what he was doing that night... alone in his car, with a gun... calling 911 b/c a kid walked by eating skittles wearing a hoodie in the rain... shooting a kid in the back, we all earned a huge lesson from that tutor... maybe the lesson is... don't be suspicious looking around complete fucking nutjobs! Blame the victim... I love it... Make the killer look like a good guy... good job Riffy... I bet knowing the kid smoked weed really bugs you, seeing how you would never do that when you were a teen... or even now as an adult. naything else about Zimmerman should we know, did he work on curing cancer, help old ladies cross the street... don't matter, he assasinated an unarmed kid... hunted and stalked his victim... defend away! You think he would have called the police if a white kid had walked by eating candy and drinking sweet tea?
with heavy sarcasm and complete contempt for what you're defending... no signs of any of those things you mentioned in GOP policy and lawmaking and especially not in the GOP race for nomination, like Santorum or Gingrich for example...

All BS sarcasm aside... Fox News completely drives the narrative of reverse racism, whenever an event like this takes place... No slant at all. If this was a black man killing a white child, this is a different event altogether... you make the point by doing that here in your post about a shooting on St Patty's day...
I hope you don't feel the need to resort back to your political rants, which you have begun already... you could ruin a picnic on a perfect summer day with Van Halen playing and the brew flowing freely with your belly moaning about how unfairly rich white people have it... you defend the undefensible, with great vigor, I will give you that much... I could see you in the crowd that was calling for a dictaor after FDR beat Hoover... those who bemoaned how communism was coming and maybe national socialism could save the USA, it saved Italy... They came close too, Macarthur himself contemplted it... imagine that... he was such a bright bulb he gave away the Phillipines b/c his ego was stronger than his common sense, he loved to defy FDR, even at the expense of american lives and american interests...
History is a great way to predict the the future...
so if you get this thread locked and feel the need to bash away at the greatest president ever, Barrack Huisein Obama and his lovely wife and daughters... go ahead and remember one thing... your posts on politics, suck with teeth and I'm proabalby the only one who reads them, no one else cares dude...
