I don't know. Sharpton has been pretty consistent in his efforts to get people to stop shooting black kids for no reason. He can be annoying, but I don't doubt that he really does want to see that accomplished. Then he should spend more time in Chicago where I believe over 100 black teens have been killed in gun violence in the last year, over 40 in the first 3 months of this year alone.

C'mon, you know exactly what he's saying. If Zimmerman could be tied to the GOP in any fashion, you know Jesse Jackson and MSNBC would have blamed all of this on the tea party and the Republicans. You mean just like big Drudge flashing sirens saying that George Zimmerman is a Democrat? Wow, you found a link on drudge. You really did scour the underground of the internet to find this tidbit... And no, it's not the same thing.

Nice of Maxine Waters to weigh in with this gem: "there's stiff evidence that this was possibly a hate crime."
She is so stupid she should have to walk backwards.

I am pretty sure Al Sharpton has spent a lot of time in urban areas talking about black violence. Call me crazy.

Are there are any other black people you would like to criticize, Elvado, before you proceed in championing your disgust at the media? Just wondering.

Rather I look to the content of their character. Maxine Waters is a jackass. Al Sharpton is a jackass. So too are Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. I comment on people's actions and their statements. I have never, and will never, view people based upon their race or any other immutable characteristic. You may feel free to continue to do so.

I didnt say you viewed people by color. I was just asking if you were going to keep criticizing black people. Seemed like a trend.

Wow, this is about to become a whole other level of big. Even the fact of size and apparent strength is telling. This is really a strange episode, especially considering what was in the police report.

Just like the 911 call, one can see or not see whatever they want to in that video. The truth will come out, but that video doesn't show much one way or the other.

Does anyone remember the Duke Lacrosse Scandal? The biggest similarity here is that everyone is choosing one side or the other based on "evidence". Good luck to us. May it not become an even bigger tragedy.

May it not become an even bigger tragedy. With the exception that this is nothing like the Duke Lacrosse Scandal. This isn't a case based on conflicting witness reports. You can double quote evidence all you like, but Martin is dead, Zimmerman shot him, and Zimmerman followed him when the 911 dispatcher told him not to.
