Hardly. Nobody was really interested in the course of the investigation, especially the fact that a witness stepped forward and the shooter had injuries consistent with the witness' testimony. Nope. Everybody was more interested in creating a hagiography for this poor dead kid and using it to stir the pot.

And, while we're at it, why do the Al Sharptons of the world hate vigilante action in some cases and endorse it in others? After all people such as Spike Lee tweeting the former address of this Zimmerman cat to everybody on the planet nearly led to some innocent people nearly coming to harm. A bit hypocritical, if you ask me.

And here is how it actually went down:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.

NBC issues apology on Zimmerman tape screw-up - Erik Wemple - The Washington Post

This is why I can't stand so much of the TV and even internet media. There should be some regulations and fines for incorrect information, especially when these media companies purposely tweak it to fit their hidden agenda. I hope as time goes on, everyone sees what a bunch of BS artists half these news companies are.

More than a bit hypocritical. Downright transparent, unapologetic hypocrisy.

Republicans, many whites say 'enough'
Which Republicans? Black Republicans? Gay Republicans? Other?

Which whites? Anglo, Nordic, white hispanic, blancos, semitic, aryan, mulatto?

I can't take it seriously until the race of all individuals named in the article is settled.

You don't think Martin's parents and family were interested in why nothing, really, had been done?

Why don't you ask Al Sharpton?

Spike shouldn't have done that.

It is now being reported that Zimmerman was a community organizer that led a protest of the Sanford police in the past over the death of a black homeless man in the community.
