Wow, you know that? Were you there? Have you talked to Zimmerman? Have you read the statement he made to the police? You do know that he was questioned for hours. Do you have the transcript of that interview?
Being dead makes you a human being, like every other imperfect human being in our fallen world.Being dead doesn’t turn you into an angel.Okay, you know what I mean. Just because he died, doesn’t mean that everyone forgets what he did while here on earth.
Way back on the first thread I mentioned that Obama had a problem with speaking before he knew everything. I joked that it would be bad for him, Obama, if it was later found out that Martin was involved in the break-ins. That hasn’t happened, but we have found out that Martin wasn’t the sweet little boy shown in the picture.
Some people clearly have an agenda of trying to impugn a dead child’s reputation. I posted earlier on how Michelle Malkin took a picture first referenced on Stormfront that was not of Trayvon Martin specifically with an agenda of making him look worse and Zimmerman look better. This picture was not even of Trayvon.And this type of info would be used in any prosecution, just as any of Martin’s past actions (if true) would be used by the defense.
Why are people not accepting that this kind of information is important to the overall picture, rather than “they’re trying to impugn a dead child’s reputation!!!”?
Race-baiters? Obviously you haven’t taken a close look at the ‘race’ sections of a variety of forms…On the “white Hispanic” thing:
Trayvon Martin: Latino Silence over Zimmerman Draws Fire

The shooting death of unarmed African-American teenager Trayvon Martin by a Latino man in Florida has provoked a national discussion about racism, ethnicity, and racial profiling in America—with the media referring to the shooter, George Zimmerman, as a “white Latino,” a term that has been greeted with derision by some.
Now critics are questioning why prominent Latino rights groups have remained on the sidelines of the discussion of race and the case.
Tweets indicate that a number of people are paying attention to his race --and questioning what a “White Latino” is. These discussions, while valid, show how little mainstream America knows about Latinos and minorities, experts say.
Does Race Play a Role Even Though George Zimmerman is not White?
“This is much more complex than simply saying this guy is Hispanic and we (Hispanics) have to defend Hispanics,” said Angelo Falcon, president of the National Institute for Latino Policy. “There is a whole question going on like, ‘Are Hispanics capable of being racist?’ ‘Why are they calling him a white Hispanic?’…

Well, I can answer pretty easily why they are calling him a white Hispanic.Because first they called him white, in order to put race-baiting into high gear. But then, as GZ’s photo was released, and he looks at least partly Hispanic, the race-baiters had to do something because continuing to call GZ “white” looked more and more ridiculous - thus the race-baiters came up with this compromise of calling him a “white Hispanic”.
Do you imagine I have said that? I have not.Why are people not accepting that this kind of information is important to the overall picture, rather than “they’re trying to impugn a dead child’s reputation!!!”?
Just to clarify, this interview was with Robert Zimmerman, his father.
The only relevant information would be a history of violent or aggressive behavior since that is the only untoward behavior that is reported or recorded in this incident. Was Martin involved in violent/aggressive acts? None of the flak I have seen aimed at him, indicates that - therefore it is simply gratuitous smearing of a dead child.And this type of info would be used in any prosecution, just as any of Martin’s past actions (if true) would be used by the defense.

I’m aware of that fact, but I wouldn’t say there is any clear motivation on Malkin’s part. I’m not sure how you have came to that conclusion.
We have 911 calls, we have interviews with friends, father, brother. Nothing has been presented to show that Trayvon was doing anything other than walking and looking around.
And he didn’t elaborate on why, so no point in assuming.
Google “Trayvon Martin Bus Driver”.
I agree with avoiding rushes to judgment, but seriously, using a picture that originated from Stormfront in such an emotionally charged debate, strains the brakes on my logical processes of deduction to breaking point.
This is complete denial. One could infer that a criticism about the photo used was an attempt to impugn people as there is no other reason to criticize a photo. This is the first case I’ve read about where people are offended that a photo of a dead person makes him look too innocent and need to find another photo that is a better representation of this person so that we will see the case differently. Last I heard, judging based on appearances was wrong.
We are not listening to a court of law. Zimmerman is under no obligation to say anything to anyone, but the police. He gave a statement to them, which is more than I can say for Martin’s girlfriend.
What I’ve got are lots of unsubstantiated rumors spread by adults who should know better:

Really, in Florida? I though the law required release of all investigations?
Why does Zimmerman’s testimony or lack of it limit our right to say what we feel?
