And to think there are certain elements in our society that want to enable criminals like the guy who broke into this elderly couple's house by making sure we have NO means of legally defending ourselves even in our own homes.

How long will it take for Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to show up and blame that old white couple for abusing that innocent yout and taking advantage of him?

How long will it take for libbies to line up and demand the death penalty (which they abhor, except for men like Zimmerman), long before a trial takes place or evidence is presented?


How long before mobs line up demanding justice for the murdered woman?


How long before virtually all of the MSM presents this as front page news and keeps it going for weeks?

No he was stalked.

Apples and oranges, neither case has anything to do with the other.

It's nice to know that the Brits are all over U.S. news better than CNN, Fox, or MSNBC, I had not heard of this case before now.

Just a sickening case, he deserves the death penalty for this. Let the husband or her children pull the switch. I know that I would want to.

Trayvon wasn't an "average citizen"???

What was he, a celebrity, a star athlete or is this another one of those demarcations between Americans and Real Americansâ„¢?

Well there's a comforting thought.

Our Govt's welfare programs have taken this away and left us with people who have no morals.
What fracking government program was Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold receive? How about Michael Carneal, or Luke Woodham? I could go on but I don't want to spend the day typing.

Well here is what I think about the whole thing...

The death of Trayvon is a tragedy. The man who shot that kid should be charged because HE is the one who forced the issue. There was no reason for him to chase that kid down. it was a senseless killing.

Now the press is pushing this because we KNOW that there is a big debate over prejudice against blacks ...and that there are a disproportionate number of blacks in prison compared to whites. THIS is a case that supports ALL of that argument. So naturally...it will be pushed by the media. It is a racial firebomb...and it will sell papers and push the agenda for GUN CONTROl along with RACISM. Both of which happen to be left wing agenda points.

Now...on the other hand...the old couple assaulted...raped and murdered (the woman) in a home invasion by black offenders?? Well...that kind of counteracts the thunder from the other story...doesn't it? So if you are the left wing media, why would you push this into the national spotlight? It doesn't FIT the agenda. And to be honest...that kind of thing happens ALL the time and is onlyreported on the local level. Same goes for crimes by illegal immigrants against American citizens...happens all the time and you rarely hear of it. Simply because they left doesn't want to incite anger against a group that they favor.

Yes...and this administration promotes it even more by nominating Sonia Sotomyer for the Supreme court and other liberal justices for high posts.

Bottom line...the left wants to disarm Americans..and don't think for one minute that if obama wins another term that it's NOT on his agenda.

The PRESS!!!???

The damned story is from the London based tabloid the Daily Mail, otherwise the story is local and according to my search is pretty much staying that way.

You misunderstand...I meant that the press is pushing the Trayvon Martin story.
