I'm just gonna leave this link here.

It's Piers Morgan...a British Man....ripping a black reporter apart for trying and convicting George Zimmerman without there even being a trial yet.

"But you haven't lived here long enough, you just don't understand the YEARS of hurt against the black man in America..."

Piers: "Pfft yeah okay you hack."

Watch it, good stuff.

Also: Let the courts decide this, I personally think he was justified...but we'll see IF it goes to trial. And that's a HUGE if.

Coming from the man who made it his profession for years in convicting people before their trials its a bit rich.


P.S. Keep the treasonous bastard.

Britain xx.

It's clear that Zimmerman lied about what happened to police, and that the Sanford PD themselves grossly mishandled the case. On that basis alone I'd think it does warrant a more thorough investigation, which is supposedly underway as we speak. On top of that, thanks to idiots like the Black Panthers and Spike Lee, offering bounties for Zimmerman's capture and twittering about where Zimmerman is supposedly hidden (when really it's an innocent, elderly couple who then receive death threats) I think there really needs to be a trial, if only because there are enough crazy people seeking Zimmerman's death despite there being no conviction that Zimmerman probably wouldn't be able to lead a normal, safe life if this is just left hanging.

In the new "enhanced" video of Zimmerman being taken to the police station, you can now clearly see there are lacerations on the back of his head. That doesn't mean everything he's said is true, but it does back up some of it.

We just need all the evidence. It's a real shame that the media and especially the black community don't care about all the evidence and have already convicted Zimmerman.

Meh.

Or they could get rid of letting people walk around with a gun on them. Seems to me that carrying a gun and hoping someone attacks you so that you can shoot them is maybe not the most healthy attitude.

Yeah, cause that is the reason I have a CCW... liberals...

Never said there wasn't any bias on either side: as said before on several occassions, BOTH sides that claim to know for a 100% certainty if he is guilty or innocent of a hate crime before court has decided are biased. Anyone claiming Zimmerman should go free without trial is just as much biased as anyone saying he should be hang for racial murder right now.

Then again,

"Yep, completely stable and rational people attending those rallies."

Can I loan this non-argument/insult/insinuation/character murder of opposition/strawman/etc. for later debates?

[Malorn]

Meh.

The killing of Trayvon Martin is a Rorschach test for American society. This tragedy reveals a deep divide in our political imaginations and communities. It also is a mirror for the fissures of race, ideology, and party that still vex and befuddle us to the present.

Some folks imagine themselves, their children, and members of their communities as Trayvon Martin. To their eyes, Trayvon is a symbol of how American society all too often devalues the lives of people of color.

Other people imagine themselves as George Zimmerman. To them, he is a "victim," a "good" man who only wanted to protect his neighborhood from crime and "suspicious" people. Moreover, the assertion that George Zimmerman acted out of racial bias in his hunting and killing of Trayvon Martin is personally offensive to them.

Because Zimmerman is “them,” and “they” are Zimmerman, he is quite simply a "law abiding" citizen who is being made a victim of "reverse racism," "race hustlers," and "the liberal media."

I thought this was a good article and pretty accurately describes how this whole thing appears to me.

I agree with the snippet from the article you showed...The whole politicizing of this whole thing is just sickening.

I personally feel I keep getting tugged in twenty different directions. Seems everyone is bringing their past emotional baggage into this debate...whether its racial tension issues or gun control issues(both sides).

But never say they might be biased! D:

For how could they be! Everyone else is biased! D:

It's Fox News. Nobody cares what Fox News has to say about any particular issue.

How very closed minded of you Warborn.

Why don't you read the bottom of the report:

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Which means the AP reported it initially, and Fox News Re-Reported it (in their own words to avoid plagiarism and accusations that they steal their news from other news sources)

Why don't you stop with the bullshit hate of Fox News for a second, and read the report.

Edit:

Since you seem to be irrationally biased against Fox News...for obvious reasons...here it is at CBS news...it might be a little easier for your liberal sensibilities to see it at a liberal news source.

Liberal News Source For All You Liberals Out There.

I also want to say I love how you dodged the reported information that Zimmerman's story that he was under attack might have merit.

inb4 he was stalking and profiling....you've said it many times before.
