Do not be idiotic...first, it's you're. And secondly, blaming the media for this retards action goes beyond the pale. Now, forget the discussion and attack me for using the term "retard." I'm holding it for you....

Eh. Never really paid to much attention to grammer. But if it upsets you then I'm glad I didn't.
That word really has never bothered me but since you and Rupert like it so be it.

And when I use that word, I just say Tard. Kind of has that new hip sound to it.
I was going to ask what happened to the spell check on here. But whats the use. We have TTC

The story paints a picture of someone who was wound up a bit tight over a rising crime rate in his community, definitely not a racist who was simply looking for an opportunity to shoot a black person.  It's unfortunate that the usual race-baiters can't seem to see that.

I'm not sure what this has to do with anything? Whether or not he bought the weapon intending to use it in the way he used it, he still (probably) murdered a kid. The uproar was about the police having (apparently) initially failed to do a reasonably thorough investigation, coached some witnesses, and failed to interview other witnesses.

That's what this should have been about all along.  It wasn't, and it was cobbled into something much more salacious by deliberately altering the facts of what actually transpired by selectively editing tapes, photos, and video footage.

No, the big uproar the national media and the usual race-baiters tried to foment was about supposed "profiling" and why a "white hispanic" man hadn't been arrested for shooting a black kid.  They played the race angle very hard in case you missed that part.

"They" who? Does that include me?

Played the "race angle" .... it's still to be studied as integrated it may be into the crime.

Nobody's missed anything...lots still to come out in the future drama over the law, the evidence, and the verdict.

Wait and we will see.

Given the department's history and the allegations of witness coaching I don't think it is completely unreasonable to think race may have been a factor in the initial policework. I don't remember media figures calling Zimmerman himself a racist. I'm sure some blogger or commenter did at some point, though.

What part of him saying he beat and robbed the man because he was white. Doesn't constitute a "Hate Crime" ?
