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...

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.

I can vouch for that.

Actually this case attained mass hysteria not because of Washington but the fact the police chose to not even arrest a man who had just shot and killed an unarmed teen. 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.

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!

Complete speculation of which you have exactly zero facts to back up your very slanted argument. Zimmerman tutored black children in his spare time. Hardly the MO for a racist. Fox News drives the idea that black people are scary? Wow! You drink deeply of the stereotypical liberal Kool Aid! I've never once seen Fox News do that at all! Not once! Ever!


I have seen MSNBC claim that the GOP hates gays, blacks, immigrants, women, muslims,...........never on Fox, but almost exclusively on MSNBC do I see this kind of intentional division.

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...

worst GOP choice, if you can't stand a moderate, bi=partisan who despite being a rich boy, actually has some decent policies regarding non rich and everyday folks... I can only imagine the gagging the neo-cons will have when voting for him... I'm actually glad it's Romney...

I agree that I should have included Harding; Grant wasn't much good as President, either, despite his greatness as a general.

Bush is responsible for starting the "Arab Spring" Middle Eastern by freeing Iraqis.  But I'm sure you can think of plenty of things that GW did that outweigh that positive attribute.

I love this post. and like I said kick starting this topic, it will be a very interesting trial, it has all the ingrindients to make it sensational... but it also at the core addresses a very vague law that can grant permission to murder a person, and race is a factor, whether anyone likes it or not... the second it is addressed, everyone either points out the 911 calls or other crimes involving race... this is America... we all can get sucked into the politcal vortex, especially since it was  done to call out grandstanders while grandstanding, who doesn't like that dog and pony show?  I thin kit's very good that every american is aware of this, especially those who I see blaming the media, the president talking about black crimes... it points out how much fear we still have...
this case will raise anyone willing to look at themselves, to see if they live in fear... not rational fear, like if you actually are in danger... the fear that drives you to carry a gun and sit in a car, call the police when no srime has occurred... and in the end an unarmed child is killed... what happened in between, was fear... we know the child was in fear, whether he ran from his killer or attacked them, he did so out of fear... I know real fear and imagined fear... and the matter of law in this case, will hopefully address this, it should be interesting... stand your ground could be a law that saves lives, but in this case, it was used to improperly, you can not call 911 get out of your car carrying a weapon and claim self defense... hence, we have 2nd degree murder charges...
Regard;ess of the trila, i as a person do get to decide and have my own opinion, even if it goes against the law. What I do know is Zimmerman killed a child, that is known and already on record. Do I think he murdered the child on purpose...? My answer is, based on prejudice and fear, yes he did... and it goes beyond racial profiling... fear is so deep, that we don't see it and can't admit it.  that is Zimmermans burden, not mine. He was pissed at someone, punks and people getting away as he said on his call... that's prejudice enough for me, not racist... there's a difference... most racism, like I said, is deep, we don't even see how the fear drives us when we living in fear based on an idea we have had our entire lives.
I am going to look forwar and follow this close, and I will request again, civility and respect the mods on abusive political rants and attacks... this thread isn't about Romney vs Obama or which prez was worst... I do understand we have a history of racism in america, and it will come up.. but please, be nice!
Let's respect that George Zimmerman, probably feels like shit and knows he made a huge mistake and Travon is dead, forever... these are two peoples lives one gone another ruined and countless family and friends hurt... let's not add to the pain.
