Trayvon Martin's Murder

BTW, the New Black Panther Party isn't a 'real' organization. THey are hyped by Fox as some militant Black group, but they have no relation to the Black Panthers of the 1960s and don't have a national membership.

You've got about 10-20 guys calling themselves the 'new' Black Panthers and conservatives are shook.

I just hate hearing them mentioned like they represent some distinct political constituency.
 
Well that makes it worse then, doesn't it. Giving press conferences and flashing Dead or Alive posters. Like I said none of 'em, from the Left to the Right, are doing Tray any favors.

It's sad, because it mis-directs the sympathy from the victim to the perpetrator. Trayvon doesn't need their help to "make George look more guilty" because in the end, they make him look "less guilty", when he might not very well be. There are already people calling for him to sue NBC for endangering his life, never mind that's exactly what he did to Trayvon's.

When TIME magazine received enormous flack over darkening OJ's face on the cover to make him appear more sinister, the same is being said of the Sentinel for running Zimmerman's photo from a 2005 arrest...the sympathy shift and the mistrust of what is being reported begins. Soon, no one will believe any word they report on the case, even if that word is the TRUTH. This is where the victim gets it twice.

From the moment Zimmerman decided to arm himself in his capacity as Neighborhood Watch bulldog, in a county with a police department that racially profiles... and from the second Zimmerman fired the fatal shot, Justice went out the window for Trayvon.... The ensuing botched investigation, the media circus, and those groups seeking to capitalize on this tragedy for whatever reason, further darkened an already muddy pond or is it really an ocean?

No question.

The more agenda and political it gets, the more chance for him to walk. I said at the beginning (like in Casey, OJ) when you throw in the opportunists - from the New Black Panthers, to the NRA, to CNN and NBC news producers editing 911 evidence calls to suit their angles..when they muddy up the water, the victim eventually gets lost in all the muck.

The bottom line (from what we know) is a teen doing no wrong was chased and killed by a wanna-be-zealot and he wasn't arrested.

How did CNN and NBC edit the 911 calls?

How do the New Black Panthers affect anything? They no lobbying power? Just a bunch of loud mouths with no political power or relevance.

Without further research, I can't comment on any insight into CNN's doctoring bits and pieces of events surround Trayvon's death, but NBC has found one of it's producers guilty of skewering the facts/evidence in regards to the 911 calls Zimmerman made....

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/upshot/nbc-fires-producer-over-edited-zimmerman-911-call-201124740.html

I also believe that many of groups who took sides in the aftermath of this tragedy did nothing to further the cause of justice for a young man gunned down in the dawn of his life... A "bounty"??? Really??? The "new" Black Panthers may have done nothing more than piss on a gasoline fire by going "thug" and polarizing an already racially divided nation... Their mere insertion (publicly) mobilized the counter causes...

Groups with firm beliefs, one way or the other are coming out of the woodwork to support "their" cause/side, while a body sits cold in the ground...

The media on both sides found traction in Trayvon's murder and has effectively spun their message to appeal to every and any audience that would be otherwise following Survivor or Jersey Shore or whatever program people normally devote attention...

In the end, even if charged, Zimmerman cannot and will not be tried because of the media circus that has tried this case on skewered fact, personal interest, and viewer share....

Everyday, new information comes out, contradicting previously released information... Leaks and lawyers are trying this case in the press, while the Feds have been mum...

Without trying to pick apart personal opinions and interpretations of everything that we think we know about this case, why don't we just wait for the facts....
 
As far as I know only NBC is guilty of editing the Zimmerman 911 call to make it sound as if he volunteered Trayvon's race instead of being prompted by the dispatcher.

Doesn't change the facts, but it doesn't help when a major network shades the intent of a murderer who's believed to have committed a hate crime.

Here is one link on CNN. It reports that after enhancing the audio again, but removing the external noises that they didn't do the first time, CNN's experts have switched their stance from Zimmerman uttering "coon" to "cold."

The video is half way down the page.

Gotta be fair after listening to it 8 times it does sound more like cold than coon. Interesting how they spent more time on that instead of figuring out who screamed help.

I've said this before: The Legacy of Ronald Reagan Era especially to low income minority communities was Reaganomics, leading to "Greed is Good" mindset and the rise of the drug and gang/thug culture. That shit killed the sense of solidarity & common sense most of us had before then. Even when people left the community to better themselves they still gave back in some way to help inspire others and help keep the community strong and united against the ignorant shit and people outside the community. You had your few bad apples of course back then but nowadays everyone is out for self and trying to out "bad apple" everyone else it seems.

The ripple effects of Reaganomics are everywhere in America today....

Under Reagan's administration, hundreds of Air Traffic Controllers were fired for being unionized and demanding better work conditions....

I could easily cite at least 10 instances in the recent past where Controllers have "lost the ball" or were found negligent in one way or another, but the most recent instance happened today....

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/04/pilot-requests-emergency-landing-tower-calls-b-s/

This post has nothing to do with the death of a young man yet to pursue dreams, but intends instead to amplify the underlying perpetuation of a war between perceived haves and have-nots....

As he lies covered in dirt and his killer walks free, we argue minute points while everyone with a business interest walks to the bank.... Reaganomics in raw form....
