My disdain for the mainstream media in the Martin case

[dreVol]

I forgot, who is that hack congressman that wore a hoodie in the house chamber to show his solidarity with Trayvon? Isn't Chicago in his district?

I imagine he also supports this BS.

Maywood, Ill. - Alton L. Hayes III, a west suburban man charged with a hate crime, told police he was so upset about the Trayvon Martin case in Florida that he beat up a white man early Tuesday.

Hayes and a 15-year-old Chicago boy walked up behind the 19-year-old man victim and pinned his arms to his side, police said. Hayes, 18, then picked up a large tree branch, pointed it at the man and said, “Empty your pockets, white boy.”

The two allegedly rifled through the victim’s pockets, then threw him to the ground and punched him “numerous times” in the head and back before running away, police said. Hayes and the boy are black; the victim is white.

Reuters has just done an informative story on Zimmerman's background. This type of reporting should have been done from the beginning.

I was going to post tht too. it paints Zimmerman in a whole new light and changes the context of his actions. although, people that were paying attention knew much of this, it just wasn't being reported by the elite media.

Wow that does and I really feel for him now. It was just I had heard all of that but then I'd hear the guy was a nutbag too so I didn't know what to believe. While he did have some issues for sure, overall it sounds like he had a real heart to protect himself and his neighbors, albeit a bit alpha in nature. I really feel sorry for the Jury who has the misfortune of handling this trial, it is definitely going to be a damned if you do, damned if you don't thing.

I'm still not seeing the political linkage here.
