    I'm not talking about the actual crime. I'm sure that was racially fueled. I'm talking about the police/public response to it. Everyone can see that this was a horrific crime. From all indications in that article, the police are doing everything possible to catch them. In the Trayvon case, people and the police are accepting the word of the admitted killer as the truth because no one else saw anything (what sparked the incident). So what if he has a minor head wound. He could have attacked Trayvon, and then at some point hit his head and then shoot him (not saying that happened, but it is a possibility) If the killer was black or Trayvon was white, the police AND general public response would have been different.

    There are always going to be racist individuals, some more overt than others. But that isn't the point here.

    This one sentence summarizes today's major media, and their obvious agenda.

    Yes, their grand agenda. Trayvon was only in the national spotlight because of the apparent lack of action by the police. The actual killing isn't exactly newsworthy, at least on a national level. Neither is this beating.

    Sounds just like the Zimmerman/Martin case. The facts are almost identical . . .

    In his Jerry Maguire voice, he said, "I LOVE BLACK PEOPLE!"

    Not so sure why they were so heated over that. But I'm not surprised. It seems like every time something happens to a black man, and a man with skin lighter is the instigator, it's racism. When it's reversed, it's swept under a rug by the media or made out to be "a random crime caused by people being themselves". It's no wonder racism continues to thrive here in the US - our media continues to provide the atmosphere.

    On a side note..... The heat is off of Casey Anthony quite a bit. I'd say she can return to Florida, but she's best staying out of the sight of black people.

    Can't imagine anyone stopping anyone beating her, so she'd be too easy a target for this "black-on-white retaliation" the NBP are pushing for.

    The police questioned Zimmerman for 5 hours the night of the shooting, took witness statements, took photographs, and hadn't closed their investigation of him or the death of Trayvon Martin. The national media picked it up because Barack Obama made it a national issue by saying that his make-believe son would look like Trayvon, and the race hustlers like Al Sharpton swooped in with their agenda. Since that point, the President sits back while racial tensions inflame. Obama has yet to say anything about the New Black Panther Party putting a $1 million bounty on Zimmerman's head. That's pretty fucking telling, IMO.

    Seems obvious to me what's going on, and it's designed to incite poor black people by giving them a scapegoat, and to confuse stupid white people who don't follow politics and the art of political manipulation.

    Did you read that part that pertained to Trayvon Martin? That's the only reason I posted this article.

    Also, you're right in one thing. This dude was white, while Zimmerman is Hispanic, so the case is not at all identical.

    Reminder: Racism requires power. Ergo, it is impossible for non-whites to be racist.

    Believe me.... don't I know it.

    It's fucking retarded. I read somewhere that the NBP are not racists - they are freedom fighters rallying the black man to supreme and divine equality. Yeah, you morons ain't bringing yourselves up - you're just trying to bring the white man down. Fighting, looting, using names to descriminate, etc.... makes you no better than the racist white man you hate. Chumps.

    Where they say that is justice for Martin?


    Who is Martin and who is Zimmerman in the example you give? As I see it, the incident you posted dealt with a group of black men who were armed and had an agenda against a white person who was not armed. Is it similar in that Zimmerman was armed and had an agenda against black people and Martin was unarmed?

    That was my point. You made it sound like the national media is ignoring this new incident because the guy is white. My point was that neither, on the merits of the crimes themselves, are newsworthy. What the outcry was about was was apparent lack of vigor that they were pursuing the case. All the time we hear the 911 tapes almost immediately, or at least by the next night on the news. In this case the parents had to sue to hear them. Why was that? From the outside, it looks like Zimmerman had a somewhat plausible story. But there is no way in hell that a black man would get off with the same "yeah, I had been following him and yeah, he wasn't armed, and yeah there is no evidence that he was causing mischief, but he attacked me and I shot him" story. There is no way the police would have bought it and no way that story would fly in public eye. And that is why this is a race issue and why there is a need for those 'race hustlers' (I personally don't like Sharpton and can't stand listening to him).

    Moral of the story. Don't start shit and then shoot a black man just because he has a hoodie and likes iced tea and skittles.

    New article on Zimmerman. Some interesting pieces of information in it. Turns out Zimmerman is part black, too, and the grandmother who raised him as well. :MARIS61:

    Who is the Uncle Tom that went into business with this racist piece of trash?

    But I thought he was a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain?

    Kudos to Reuters for actually doing some investigative reporting. Interesting that the 263-unit community's newsletter recognized Zimmerman as their go-to person for reporting the frequent crimes on the property.

    I really don't know why this is still a story.

    *People are shot every day

    *People are fucked over by the justice system every day

    The only reason why this is a story is because people have to have something to rage about every week, and the media just holds onto stories longer than the national attention span cares about them.
