Whats my opinion? That the media edited out a question just before he said "Hes Black"? The dispatcher asked if he could make any identity, he said , IIRC, "It looks like hes black", media reported the call, edited the question, made it sound like he just said the guy was black,, thats not opinion, thats indisputable, proven & admitted fact.

i dont just form opinions, i pay attention, then think.

And it all goes to show if the criminal gets to go home and clean up and take it easy for 45 days before being arrested, all the evidence is washed away.

Have we learnt nothing from CSI ?

It was raining, Trayvons hands should have been bagged to check for Z's DNA but I think the police dept didn't want to arrest him or charge him with anything.

yeah, that thinking thing, that's your opinion working there. The intention behind the editing is unknown, the results of the editing are it works against Zimmerman. The intention may vary from simple time savings (in broadcasting every second really does count), to "this tells a better story" to, "this makes better drama for tv" to "my boss told me to" to a differing of priorities about word usage.

if you want to base your opinion off the result, then just remember that voter ID laws have the result of working against minorities, does that make those laws racist? based on the result you'd have to say yes, even thought their intent may not be racist, their result is. with the editing, the intentions may not be defamatory, but their result kinda is.

The shooting of Trayvon Martin, it turns out, was that most perfect of crimes. The jury was packed with sure-fire Zimmerman supporters. The "fix" was in.

George Zimmerman Juror B37 Hates the Media, and called Trayvon ‘A Boy of Color’, Oh, and she is already writing a book...Quote: "When he was finally charged, I predicted that any group of jurors from central Florida would let Zimmerman off."

The police corruption / ineptitude tied the prosecutors hands. this entire case stinks to high heaven. In Florida, it appears that it is legal for any person to shoot another so long as the claim that they felt threatened. That law is rotten to the core.

Florida gun shows aren't filled with Confederate flags because they're red, white, and blue. The heart of racism lives there.


Today, Trayvon was buried from the bullet he caught
They lowered him down in the rain
But when the shadowy sun sets on the one
That fired the gun
He'll see by his grave
On the stone that remains
Carved next to his name
His epitaph plain:
Only a pawn in their game.
