great observation, tell it to the race baiting Obama & Sharpton. The reason why this is a story today is because the Democratic News Networks make it so. You know, the guys that create the news and tell most what is important. Finally, the OP has the man convicted within a matter of a few days.
You're calling your own boys the "fuckers" here. Most righties seem to want to let the process do it's thing.
Righties want the facts to play out because a black man was killed. When a white man is killed or a dem is involved in a scandal you righties already have your minds made up and have concluded your own facts.
We know the necessary facts. Zimmerman is a wanna be cop who calls 911 everytime he gets a chance. FACT. Zimmerman was advised not to follow the victim. FACT. Zimmerman shot and killed an unarmed man. FACT. These facts draw a very easy conclusion. I don't need to see testimony from his father or anybody else to come to my own conclusion.

No card or game...just fact. Can you explain why every right winger here is practically a legal aide on Zimmerman's defense team? If the right wing is gonna be racist and then complain about "the race card" then I would advise you guys to stop making decisions based on race.
Everytime you guys line up on racial sides you complain about someone else pointing it out.
What? Who is complaining? The fact is "race" has always been an "unresolved" issue in this country. It was here before I was born and it will be here after I die, after my children die, after my grand-children die...it will go on and on and on...it's here to stay. I learn to live with that fact while liberals love to be whining about it. That's a FACT!
I find it hilarious to use a castle stipulation when you pursue another person out in the street, get into a altercation and then fire away killing them expecting to get off. So, if we lived in Florida, i could see you out in the street, confront you... call out your mother your wife call them whores whatever it may take to entice you into a physical altercation (that even if Martin attacked him first) and then once we do, i can pull out my gun and kill you. I wonder what the odds are that SYG will be overturned or at least partially suspended once this trial is up? I would say fairly heavily chalkish. Something in the -500 variety.
Just because is an issue is based on race and a liberal points out when that is obvious it doesn't make it a play of the "race card". That is becoming the tired excuse of the right to justify their racist positions. The right wing(with the exception of a few like fetch) have done nothing but defend Zimmerman and crucify Martin from the start.
I don't whine about race but as you just stated.."Race will always be an issue in this country." It"s not playing a card in this situation....race has become the primary issue and it is as much repubs fault as dems. Hard to hear but the truth.
A tale of two cities. Justice, Vegas style.
Summerlin backyard shooting ruled self-defense.
The man who shot and killed a would-be burglar in his backyard last month will not face criminal charges.
After reviewing the case, the Clark County district attorney's office decided the man acted in self-defense when he pulled the trigger March 20 in his Summerlin home.
"The homeowner was acting in defense of self and defense of his (home)," Assistant District Attorney Chris Owens said.
The shooting, which happened about 9:30 a.m. on the 2100 block of Spurs Court, near Town Center Drive and Sahara Avenue, killed Demarcus Carter, a 19-year-old with a history of committing residential burglaries.
The resident shot Carter multiple times through a backyard window, police said. Carter, who was unarmed, died in the yard.
Authorities did not identify the resident. Neighbors said he was in his late 50s and began renting the home about six months ago. They described him as a quiet person who kept to himself.
Owens said evidence suggested Carter was casing homes to burglarize the morning of the shooting.
"A neighbor saw the deceased casing other homes. He was knocking on doors and wandering around by the side yards," Owens said.
Investigators think Carter scaled an 8-foot cinder-block wall to enter the backyard where he was shot. The entrance to the yard was closed by a padlocked iron gate.
Owens said investigators found physical evidence - supporting the homeowner's statement - that a break-in was occurring at the time of the shooting.
There were fresh pry marks on a door to the house, a screen from a back window had been removed and when the shooting happened, Carter was "in the process of jimmying a sliding glass door," Owens said.
Carter was struck at least five times, Owens said, including once in his face and once in his back after he turned to run away.
The homeowner told investigators that before the shooting, he made eye contact with Carter, who then kept trying to break in, Owens said. "That's consistent with the physical evidence at the scene," he said.
Carter's criminal history included an arrest in April 2011 on 13 felonies, including burglary, grand larceny and possessing stolen property, according to court records.
Sources said Carter had a lengthy juvenile criminal record and gang ties.
In the April 2011 case, North Las Vegas police arrested Carter after catching him breaking into a home and stealing valuables, including an $800 watch, according to an arrest report. Police had Carter and another teenager under surveillance because they were suspects in several area break-ins.
During his interview with police, Carter confessed to several other burglaries. In one instance, Carter told police he stole a class ring from a home and gave it to his mother, according to the report.
When she asked where he got the ring, Carter told his mother, "I stole it from some little white boy," the report said.
His mother, Vierla Johnson, pawned the ring for $800 and gave the cash to Carter and his friend, the report said. Carter traded his mother marijuana for the money.
In addition to the home burglaries, Carter admitted to taking three televisions from a CVS Pharmacy and stealing a laptop charger from a Radio Shack. When police searched his property, they found a stolen laptop and several hundred dollars in cash.
And he was suspected of stealing two televisions and a PlayStation 2 from a home in the valley, the report said.
Carter pleaded guilty in June to three felonies and was sentenced to three years' probation.
He was arrested again in February after violating his probation. He admitted to the violations and was returned to probation two weeks before his fatal encounter.

I would love to see Zimmerman's drivers license to see if it lists him as a caucasian. This guy is as much white as Obama is black.
Race shouldn't be an issue, but the media always have, and always will force it down our throat. I bet Sharpton and Jackson shit a brick when they found out that Zimmerman wasn't some blond hair, blue eyed man of northern European descent.

Suspect: I Beat Up White Man Because I Am Mad About Trayvon Martin Case
Maywood, Ill. - Alton L. Hayes III, a west suburban man charged with a hate crime, told police he was so upset about the Trayvon Martin case in Florida that he beat up a white man early Tuesday.
Hayes and a 15-year-old Chicago boy walked up behind the 19-year-old man victim and pinned his arms to his side, police said. Hayes, 18, then picked up a large tree branch, pointed it at the man and said, “Empty your pockets, white boy.”
The two allegedly rifled through the victim’s pockets, then threw him to the ground and punched him “numerous times” in the head and back before running away, police said. Hayes and the boy are black; the victim is white.
After being arrested, Hayes told police he was upset by the Trayvon Martin case and beat the man up because he was white, Cook County State’s Attorney’s office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said, citing court records.
Martin, 17, was fatally shot Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who was charged April 11 with second-degree murder. Zimmerman is Hispanic, while Martin was black.
Hayes, 18 of the 1200 block of North Woodbine Avenue in Oak Park, was charged with attempted robbery, aggravated battery and a hate crime, all felonies, Oak Park police Detective Cmdr. Ladon Reynolds said.
Hayes was ordered held on $80,000 bond and remained in the Cook County Jail on Friday. He will next appear in court May 11. The boy was referred to juvenile court.

Subject: You might not have seen this about the Trayvon Martin case
[FONT=arial,helvetica]WOW,WHAT IS AMAZING IS THAT THE MEDIA IS SHOWING THE WRONG "STUFF"!!!![FONT=arial,helvetica]
Do you wonder why the Mainstream Media is using a seven year old photo of this thug?
[FONT=arial,helvetica]www.members.beforeitsnews.com/story/1939/020/Was_Trayvon_Martin_a_Drug_Dealer.html[FONT=arial,helvetica]
Maybe because his current pictures from his Myspace and Facebook pages show him as he really was the day he was shot...a 200lb+, 6'1" gangsta. His family and lawyer tried to scrub the true information but it didn't work...the real story is out now.
He was on a ten day suspension from school, but of course they sealed the records so the public doesn't know why. Look at the messages from his twitter account, SLIMM @NO_LIMIT_NIGGA. This guy was a thug and nothing less. Had the media shown his current pictures like the one of him flipping off the world or doing his gang signs, it would not fit into their innocent little boy just going for skittles story.
The reason Zimmerman was not charged is because their was an eyewitness to the entire event...you have to look real hard to find that story too. He attacked Zimmerman, broke his nose and then went back to beat him some more when Zimmerman finally used deadly force to protect himself.
This is nothing but the story of a gangsta attacking the wrong person in a concealed carry state and getting snuffed as he should have. Welcome to the real world kiddo and if you want to attack people without the risk of getting shot, better go to Chicago where the average law abiding citizen is not allowed to protect themselves!

We can protect ourselves with certain approbed shotguns.
The pistols are a different story. You need to go to classes which are a pain in the ass, and you need to have extra insurance and prove it to be ABLE to ge a pistol.
It is completely fucked up, but we do have a chance to get a legal gun here now.
