    you can't help but notice this media frenzy though. It's everywhere you go. I don't watch the news anymore either, but every website, every web based news outlet....

    i can. i dont have cable tv and when i read about the story i read the less sensationalistic sites like bbc. the brits take a "those silly americans" type of attitude when reporting american news.

    Holder is another one... dood is bound by blood it seems to turn this Zimmerman fiasco into a Federal case as well. What about the recent killings of two tourist crackas in florida, or the MSU shootings... why don't these murders fit the bill for an elevated crime of hate? In this day and age anymore it seems nothing is racist unless it is white on ?color?.

    Holder can suck a tailpipe. The entire Barak Obama administration is full of fucking weasels who do not deserve to breathe the same air as everyday Americans. And this is coming from someone who considers himself, socially liberal.

    I'm conservative in some ways and liberal in others... but this has gone from a self defense case to predator gone wild. Their was never going to be any other outcome for this, and we get to watch them sacrifice this guy to appease the masses and avoid more black civil unrest. Welcome to the new gestapo where they can fabricate evidence and make you a national scape goat.

    So where is the black community when thousands of black men and women are gunned down a year by other black men and women? If this was a hate crime I would be the first one out there protesting along with the family of the victim, but this has just gotten stupid.

    The more and more I am around people, the less and less I give a shit about them. Im turning into Sabanfan.

    I feel sorry for some of you and your narrow viewpoints. So now he's a thug? Why, because he got caught with some weed? I've said it before on here, if some of the people some of you classify as thugs ran into some real thugs, they'd shit their pants. That kid was no thug. He was, by all accounts, a normal kid of this generation. They're just about ALL a bunch of dumbasses. And come on LaSalle, noone believes GZ left his house to go hunting for blacks. You're sensationalizing is no better than the media.

    Most of you assume the Al's and Jesse's of the world don't care about black-on-black crime. They do. You think there are never any rallies screaming for an end to the violence in under-privileged black communities. There are. All the time. You just don't know it because it's not newsworthy and you can't relate to it. It is not a common experience for you.

    In regard to THIS case, picture this:
    You're the parents of Trayvon Martin. He's been killed and you do not know why. You're asking questions and they're going unanswered. You're calling people of authority in Sanford and being ignored. You have not seen a police report. Everywhere you turn, people who should be trying to help you find closure, are evading you. They all happen to be white. Are there motives racial? Maybe, maybe not. You tend to believe not...just a case of a community protecting their own. So what do you do? You start making calls. You get this on the national news. You call Al and Jesse's networks, because, for all the negativity associated with them, they command the medias attention, for better or worse. Now everyone knows what you're facing and can understand your plight. Many people with pick sides, and that's fair. Many will pick sides along racial lines. That's expected. But at least, the incompetent clusterfuck that is the Sanford Police Department is now in the spotlight. All their other coverups are revealed, including the one relating to the very man that took your son's life. This is a culture. Why was this investigation so badly mishandled. Why didn't the police interview all witnesses. These are questions you've been asking for over a week and you've been ignored. They cannot ignore you anymore.

    As sensible people, you realize the case is going to be a tough one to prove, but you want everyone to understand that Justice for Trayvon is not just about putting Zimmerman behind bars, because that's a tough sell in a state where Casey Anthony is free. Justice for your son is also about putting the brightest spotlight you can find on the Sanford police department. THAT'S you're real target. Not Zimmerman, who probably won't do very much time even if he's convicted of manslaughter. You can accept that because of the nature of the case. What you cannot, and will not accept, is no charges being levied at all.

    So, you guys can call them race baiters, which they have certainly been guilty of in the past. You can point the finger at everyone on the other side of the debate and question why it's racial (while ignoring that the debate lines are markedly racially divided). But in reality, it's not an issue of race. It's an issue of entitlement.

    You realize the hate crime allegation is because everyone thought he said "fucking coon" right? The comments and content of the 911 recording is what created the hate crime allegation...not the simple GZ shooting TM.

    I agree, you are turning into Sabanfan:D . What happened?

    Yeah but even Trayvon's parents even said it was an accident.
