this one is not fake, and the comments from his twitter feeds don't help
I completely agree, and to say that the media skewed this incident (radically!) in favor of one side is a gigantic understatement.
But I'm just amused that even Grand Ol' Pal PL54 can't just say, "I fucked up, but there are similar pictures out there that are real"
Instead he pulls his same old "libs libs libs" shit.
To say that the guy marches lock-step with the rest of the mouth breathers is putting it mildly.
If you say the photo i put up is not correct then i will tak eyour word for it. Trayvon is a kid who got caught up in thugging it up. It didn't work out well for him. That is sad for him and his family. Glad to see you are not a total idiot when you realize in fact this whole thing is another attempt at the race card by one side. One that is risky in a swing state.

I believe the picture of Zimmerman in the orange was from a 2005 or 2006 arrest, and not the picture of Zimmerman immediately after the incident. I don't think there's a picture of Zimmerman from the night of the shooting.
Testes I got that off of Drudge. He was taken to the police station that night according to the story. Video from within the station supposedly reveals no visible injuries to his face/head nor blood anywhere on his clothes.

You guys do realize that he was taken to the police station AFTER being worked on by the fire department for ~45 min? So I guess it is less than surprising to me that his face was no longer mangled and his cloths had dried out...
Does that have any baring on whether the shooting was justified? Not really, but it also does not lead me to believe that it "proves" there is a giant "conspiracy" that the police and prosecutors are all in on with Zimmerman to kill a black kid and get away with it.

One thing the video proves is that Zimmerman was arrested that night. He just wasn't charged.
"The biggest problems that we’re facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all."
NBC News is being excoriated in some circles – with competitor Fox News Channel leading the charge – for selectively editing audio of the 911 call placed by George Zimmerman just before he killed Trayvon Martin.
The NBC segment in question featured anchor Ron Allen and ran on the Today show on Tuesday. On Thursday, Sean Hannity and guest Brent Bozell played the NBC version of the 911 call and compared it with the unedited version.
In the NBC segment, Zimmerman says: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.”
The full version, though, unfolds like this:
Zimmerman: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good, or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.”
911 operator: “Okay. And this guy, is he white black or Hispanic?”
Zimmerman: “He looks black.”
After playing both versions, Hannity said: “They forgot the dispatcher’s question! How could NBC, in good conscience, do that?”
“This isn’t bias, this isn’t distortion, this is an all-out falsehood by NBC News,” answers Bozell, who runs a conservative watchdog group called the Media Research Center.
“When you hear him say, ‘he looks black,’ anyone watching that believes that there are racial overtones to what this man did,” Bozell says. “How could you not believe that? It goes with the narrative of the profiling. The only problem is, they edited out the dispatcher asking him, ‘what does he look like?’”
NBC News declined to comment.
Zimmerman, a volunteer community-watch participant shot and killed Martin on Feb. 26 in Florida, and some Democratic lawmakers and civil rights activists have called it a hate crime, accusing Zimmerman, who is Hispanic, of racially profiling Martin, who was a 17-year-old African American male.
“This is NBC News, Brent, and this is what they did at a time when emotions are running very high in this country,” Hannity said during his Thursday night TV show.
“Tom Brokaw, Matt Lauer, I wonder if they’re proud tonight?” Hannity asked.
I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First I shall thank you, the Gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies where I have experimented with some of the newest and still the oldest methods for control of slaves. Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious King James, whose bible we cherish, I saw enough to know that your program is not unique. While Rome used cords of wood as crosses for standing human bodies along the old highways in great numbers, you are here using the tree and the rope on occasion.
I caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree a couple of miles back. You are not only losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed, gentlemen...you know what your problems are; I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems, I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them.
In my bag here, I have a fool-proof method for controlling your black slaves. I guarantee everyone of you that if installed correctly it will control the slaves for at least 300 years. My method is simple, any member of your family or any overseer can use it.
I have outlined a number of differences among the slaves, and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust, and envy for control purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies, and it will work throughout the South. Take this simple little test of differences and think about them. On the top of my list is "Age", but it is there because it only starts with an "A"; the second is "Color" or shade; there is intelligence, size, sex, size of plantations, attitude of owners, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, East, West, North, South, have fine or coarse hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of action--but before that, I shall assure you that distrust is stronger than trust, and envy is stronger than adulation, respect, or admiration.
The Black Slave, after receiving this indoctrination, shall carry on and will become self refueling and self generating for hundreds of years, maybe thousands.
Don't forget, you must pitch the old Black vs. the young Black male, and the young Black male against the old Black male. You must use the dark skinned slaves vs the light skinned slaves, and the light skinned slaves vs. the dark skinned slaves. You must use the female vs. the male, and the male vs. the female. You must also have your servants and overseers distrust all Blacks, but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on us. They must love, respect, and trust only us.
Gentlemen, these kits are your keys to control, use them. Have your wives and children use them. Never miss opportunity. My plan is guaranteed, and the good thing about this plan is that if used intensely for one year, the slaves themselves will remain perpetually distrustful.

The above passage is from a famous hoax, and actually was probably written closer to 1970 than 1770, but it describes the reality we live with every day to the extent that it has taken on a life of its own for the past 40 years. Here people are speculating about the minutiae of a case which, while tragic, is not important while very real issues of liberty are being decided outside the public discourse.
You are all divided. You are all conquered. Wake up.

I just watched a good five minutes of reporting on this and couldn't tell if it was CNN or the Onion.
People are protesting against due process and demanding the shooter be locked up.....and evoking racially motivated crimes from 50 years ago in which people were not given due process and simply lynched by angry mobs demanding their own form of justice as justification?
They did say that Chaka Khan is going to give a performance to "raise awareness of the situation".
It's nice to see things like this allow so many people to try to be famous.

I think most of the black outrage reflects their barely under the surface anger at the white man's system: justice system, economic system & educational system.
I notice that the national news and race baiters in charge Sharpton and Jackson missed this horror story of rape torture and murder. Perhaps because there were no hoodies or Skittles involved.
In a powerful demonstration of the way the Internet has opened up the mainstream media to intensive second-guessing, bloggers are charging that news outlets have ignored the rape and murder of a young Knoxville couple because of the racial implications of the story.
The two victims were white; the five defendants are black.

If you think about it, this whole event has probably boosted the local economy down there. What do people say about making an omelette?
Is it just me or does Reba McEntire look like Dana Carvey in drag?
Anyway, back on topic, racial bias is a way of life for everyone, not just nigs. EVERYONE, including black folks, prefers their own kind and would rather help out their brother than someone who's racially half a world away. It's human nature. Someone with some balls needs to ask these nigs if they'd be out marching for justice if it were a white kid murdered by a black guy. Unfortunately, "journalists" today are just mouthpieces for the PC establishment so I doubt you're going to hear anyone asking the real hard-hitting questions. Instead we'll be getting a Chaka Khan charity concert.

When Sharpton ran for President in the last election, he actually made sense in a lot of things that he said - sad to see him swing back to try to appeal to extreme elements. Perhaps he has a new book that he is working on.
Some Internet postings have suggested the killings should be treated as a hate crime. But Police Chief Sterling Owen said: "We have no evidence to support the notion that this was a race-based crime. We see this as a cold-blooded murder."
The entire "hate-based" crime notion is idiotic though, as long as you have it, if the races were switched in this case, especially in the south, that would be the lead headline of every story.

My goodness, the kid was beating Zimmerman so mercilessly that onlooks were screaming for help! Good thing Zimmerman had a weapon to repel such violent force I guess.
