Don't Rush To Judgment In Trayvon Martin Case
IS THIS CASE GOING TO LEAD TO THE NEXT RACE WAR?

The death of Trayvon Martin has led to yet several media dust-ups. The case has been a minefield for commentators.
Fox newscaster Geraldo Rivera blamed Martin’s hoodie for the
shooting. Filmmaker Spike Lee tweeted the wrong address for Zimmerman,
forcing an elderly couple to flee to a hotel. Lee apologized and offered
compensation. Rivera said he was sorry his comment was a distraction,
but continued to argue that in certain circumstances. a minority youth
wearing a hoodie “is a 911 call waiting to happen.”
No better are those scouring the internet for photos — some fake — of
Martin in gangsterlike poses. A picture of a teenager flipping the
bird, real or not, does not settle a thing.
Organizing a posse to take down Zimmerman is reprehensible. So is blaming the victim. Neither approach serves justice.
Public outcry led to investigations that might never have happened.
The wise course now is to reserve judgment until all the facts are in.
It might be noted that the most popular pics circulating the msm these days are of Trayvon Martin at age 17...... or is it age 12?

Barefooted Nana ∞ijm♥∞AFCL 2012/04/10 04:09:33+13It's all part of the smoke and mirrors. I believe it is not finished and should not be judged until the people who are paid to do their jobs finish it. Why in heaven's name has the FL authorities not done any thing about the NBP is beyond me.






















The fact of the matter about the incident, which is the physical confrontation, is nobody outside of the case knows exactly what happened. So I find that people seem to know what happened from media reports quite amusing. Also, the onus is on State of Florida to prove Zimmerman was not defending himself. That is the beauty of self defense, it puts the onus where it should be, on the state, not on the individual.

We have the MSM using a photo of Trayvon when he was 12 or 14, not the one accurately depicting his current size and appearance; we have NBC news modifying a sound-bite to remove the question asked by the dispatcher as to the race of the "suspicious person" Zimmerman was following, making it appear that Zimmerman simply volunteered that "he looks like he's black,"; and we have ABC "enhancing" Zimmerman's word to make it appear that he used a racial slur.
This is indeed a sad day for the MSM, as well as the race-baiters like Spike Lee, Al Sharpton and Bobby Rush (former Black Panther turned politician.).
MLK is rolling in his grave. The New Black Panthers, Sharpton and others are calling for riots and killings. And 'our' president is sitting back and enjoying every minute spent on this distraction.
Incredible.
Most people are over the leftwing race war already.
Only I hope the FBI is being true to its charter, and not preparing a railroad job.
HOPE & CHANGE is being replace by RACE AND BAIT! :(
