That's the liberal media for you!

I have to agree. It's interesting how that works.

To them the Colorado gunman is already more of the garden-variety mental case. But Zimmerman is the DANGEROUS law-and-order type. SCARY!

Good grief you whiners! The Colorado shootings happened less than 24 hours ago. Think back to that time with GZ. He was a "Neighborhood Watch" volunteer.

I was thinking the same thing, it has been about 24 hours or less since those shootings took place!

What on earth is the OP thinking? Most people knew nothing about the Trayvon Martin killing within 24 hours of the crime.

If someone shot your child Zimmerman style, would you be saying the same thing?

It's bc Holmes is a nut.

mohawkx · 07-20-2012, 08:51 PM

It's to be expected. Holmes entered a packed movie theater with the intent to slaughter as many people as he could. Theres no issue there. there's only one side to the story.
Zimmerman shot an unarmed man either by being vicously attacked or acting as a vigilanti. There's issues there that neither side can agree on. Makes sense the media would flog that story.

Don't confuse thinking with emotion. Most people on here are emotional. That's it.

The Zimm story didn't get flagged 'til the race baiters stepped in. Then it became a free-for-all and instant internet experts were created.
