Why was no one outraged over this when it happened?

No media outrage, because the media can't milk it into a bigger, nastier story. Some things attract viewers which sells advertising. All about corporate profits. The media doesn't care about Zimmerman and martin. They are hoping for riots and fear mongering news....news that will keep people with some money glued to the TV. All the while soaking up those commercials.

Think about this too. The O.J Simpson trial. There was so much attention on that. This was about Black man charged with murdering a White woman. It received plenty of attention.

OJ was a sports hero to many blacks. The media wanted turmoil from it when they could show white racist cops railroading the successful black man with planted evidence. LAPD is still trying to shed the image of Mark Fuhrman and how he soured relations with blacks in LA.

Point being the media will go with anything they can milk. They could milk the Simpson case, they could milk the Zimmerman case. How come no one is milking the case with the 4 White persons in Joliet,IL who murdered two Black men and then did other bad things to their bodies?

The fact that four people killed one person is disgusting. But those 4 are going to be punished.

Still waiting for you to explain what the outrage is supposed to be over?

Why should there be outrage, except maybe that a life was taken needlessly. Innocent lives are taken by criminals every day. Why should this one spark outrage?


And you know damn well that if the colors were reversed there would be outrage. The normal people Sharpton, Jackson, and others would be on the warpath. And the ignorant would be raging. Look at Zimmerman.

If the CNN presentation is true (questionable at best), they deserve a fair trial. Followed by a first class hanging.

If that was the case you'd be defending the accused

Name one legitimate journalist on MSNBC! They don't just stir the pot, they frikkin manufactured it.

Why don't more people talk about Larry Kudlow, a total moderate on left leaning media.
