articles.nydailynews.com/2012-03-04/news/31122324_1_white-boy-fire-tv-stationAnyone see this on the news? Even knew it happened? I doubt many have because there is this unwritten rule that for white people to talk about reverse discrimination or even worse, a reverse hate crime, it's racist. Trayvon Martin is all over the news, but not this. First the media portrayed his case as a hate crime until they learned he was killed by another minority, not a white man. They first said he lived in the gated community he was walking through, but now say he didn't. Now the story coming out is he was the initial aggressor in the deal. Before all of these facts came out the liberal dominated media jumped the gun again and went at it as a white on black hate crime. They won't report on a black on white hate crime. That would be racist in this day and age in this type of media. No Nationwide protest like the ones for Travon where the Miami Heat, University of Michigan and thousands more pose bowing heads while wearing hoodies. I'm sure Will Smith won't get all over Facebook, twitter, etc about this real hate crime. Al Sharpton is supposed to be there for situations like this real hate crime, but he won't since it's reverse. No coverage from the liberal media, no Hollywood outrage, no civil rights and equality leaders speaking about it and no comment from our President like he did Trayvon. I'm not surprised, but I'm outraged. Anyone else?

Did you see Trayvon's family is trying to copyright the saying "I am trayvon Martin"? What a joke trying to make money off their kid's death. What a messed up world we live in.

I was just about to post that. She also claims the same media that jumped to conclusions in his and her favor at the beginning is trying to tarnish his image by reporting he was no angel and the reason he was with his Father and visiting the area was because he was kicked out of school for bringing drugs in.
One other point- all this bs about the hoodie being the "only" reason he looked suspicious, anyone who listens to the police scanner or reads crime blotters has seen almost every suspect is wearing one, just sayin.
If the guy who shot him had no legal reason for doing so, I hope he is convicted, but as the investigation continues it isn't looking that way. At least not right now. I wonder what this white kid did to be chased and set on fire? Can't think of any legal reason to do that.

It all started with a sucker punch that sent Zimmerman to the ground where Martin proceeded to bash his head on the side walk a few times after Zimmerman approached him. I am in no way condoning his later actions, but it is clear in witness testimonials who was the aggresor.

He was told by police dispatch to not pursue him after the altercation, but he did and ended up shooting him. So that is where the trouble for him begins.

I heard the call. Years ago when still in Flint dispatchers said the same to my Mother when my Dad and neighbor followed men who stole another neighbors car. Guess what? They followed them and they were caught! Can't expect a cop to be right around the corner.

As we seal Trayvons parents are speaking at Capitol hill crying racism. They are trying for that while facts from the investigation ate coming out their Son was guilty and a man defended himself and all the while nothing on the white boy chased down by black teens and set on fire.

As bad as it is that the young man died during this event, the media did jump to conclusion before getting the facts and is now politicizing it. All its doing is fueling the fire for violent protests and such. There has been a lot of violent heckling of innocent people going on down south and a looting at a walgreens store by some protestors, but I guess the media didnt have time to report any of that.

I looked up articles covering the Zimmerman / Martin case yesterday since I had not head about all the "drama" since the initial incident. I think Zimmerman had every right to do what he did and I would do the same. It is unfortunate that Martin passed away yes, but if you a little deeper he was no golden child.
I also read the article about the kid set on fire. Im sure there will be more details to come on that one.
These events are sad this day in age.
We all bleed red.

That racist midget Spike Lee "tweeted" Zimmerman's address (of course he hoped for violence) but it ended up being an elderly couples' address and they are now staying in a motel due to (just imagine). Meanwhile nothing like this has happened in the white boy victim of a real hate crimes case. |

Looks as if local police and the FBI's investigation wasn't good enough. Zimmerman is now getting the politically correct race card/ media influenced slap in the face. Score one for liberal lame stream media and Al Sharpton.  |

Charged with second degree murder. Zimmerman pleaded not guilty. Shoulde be an interesting trial.
