The Trayvon Martin shooting

[IMADreamer]

Fox News is interviewing Zimmerman tonight.

Among other things, he's said that he wouldn't change anything, because this was "God's plan", and that he loves his own children, even though he doesn't have any yet.

Of course that's what he will say if you are going on Fox News to defend youself you gotta invoke God, Country, and your pro life feelings. That will get all the Foxtards on your side. Plus he killed a black guy, hell they'd make him king over there at Fox if they could.

Fox News' Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman "coverage" doesn't have an agenda at all.

All networks have an agenda with it or they wouldn't be airing anything. This is not a national news story, but ABC, first, and all the others jumped on a racial end of it. Where's all the coverage of black kids getting shot elsewhere around the nation? Oh yeah, no way to sensationalize black-on-black crime.

The national coverage did not come solely because of race. One of the main reasons this is a huge story is the fact that Zimmerman was allowed to go home, little to no investigation was done by the authorities, and it took a month and a ton of outside pressure to make an arrest happen. This guy shot another guy--the victim being armed with candy and iced tea--said "it was self-defense", and was allowed to go home. That's a story.

I've seen the media on every side of this issue.

My point exactly....The Jury saw all the facts presented to them...by legal counsel...not was presented to them by the media

17 year old kid gets followed by car then foot, armed only with skittles. Gets shot by guy following him. Guy following him that shoots him gets acquitted. Total BS.

He can't be found guilty of the shooting based on the evidence they appeared to have. I'm still somewhat shocked the recordings of the cries for help weren't admissible. In any case, in my mind he's still guilty of creating the situation and I think he might yet be found guilty in a civil trial. He appears to have had had chance after chance of avoiding confrontation, yet he kept on for reasons I don't understand.

I think Vidor's post above says it all. Gun vs skittles. The person with the gun has to take some responsibility for that situation.
