This is not an isolated incidence of media racism. We'll see more of this nonsense soon.
From Yahoo! News:
The tragic story of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed Florida teen who was fatally shot last month by a neighborhood watch volunteer, is now garnering national media attention. And the release last week of calls to police during the incident are bolstering demands for the shooter, George Zimmerman—who has yet to be detained by authorities—to be charged in Martin's death. Meanwhile, some are arguing that a permissive Florida gun law played a role in the tragedy. And Monday night came word that the U.S. Justice Department is probing the matter.
Here's what you need to know about where things stand:
What happened?
On Feb. 26, Martin, a 17-year-old African-American and Miami native, was visiting his father in Sanford, near Orlando. Martin was watching the NBA All-Star Game at a house in a gated Sanford community, and at halftime he stepped out to buy some Skittles and an iced tea at a local 7-Eleven.
Zimmerman, an armed neighborhood watch volunteer who was patrolling the area in an SUV, saw Martin returning to the house and became suspicious. A violent confrontation ensued, which ended with Martin being shot to death. Zimmerman was found bleeding from the nose and the back of the head, standing over Martin.
How did the police respond?
Zimmerman, a white Hispanic, [Emphasis mine. F.G.] told police he acted in self-defense, and has not been charged with a crime. "Until we can establish probable cause to dispute that, we don't have the grounds to arrest him," Sanford Police Chief Billy Lee said last Tuesday.
Roto-Reuters jumps on the bandwagon:
Justice will prevail in shooting case: Florida Governor
AFP also charges Latinospanics with being white:
A black political group offered a $10,000 reward on Saturday for the killer of an African-American teenager, amid a nationwide uproar which has prompted a rethink of America's race issues.
The New Black Panther Party (NBPP) displayed a wanted poster on its website with a picture of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot Trayvon Martin, 17, last month.
"WANTED!!! For the murder of Trayvon Martin... ALIVE, not dead or harmed," the poster read...
Due to time constraints, we now move to further action...
Sanford police told AFP they were ignoring the NBPP's call to capture Zimmerman, a white Hispanic...[Mea culpa. - F.G.]
There it is again.
Of course, the level-headed left-fascists at Time magazine know the truth: White Hispanics don't kill, guns do...
Can Trayvon Martin's Death Alter Our Race and Gun Cultures?
...If that task force's findings lead to the eventual repeal of stand-your-ground in Florida and other states, then Martin's death will have served a purpose greater than just the cancellation of a lawless law. It will have helped to put a brake on the runaway train that is America's gun culture. The U.S. gun lobby is expert at pushing the outside of the statutory envelope; but stand-your-ground represented a historic rupture of that limit, a break with centuries of British and American common law that confined the deadly force response to violent invasions of one's home -- known as the "castle doctrine" -- and required citizens to walk away from perilous situations outside that domain.
Just as a 911 dispatcher instructed Zimmerman, a white Hispanic, [Ditto. - F.G.] to do the night he shot Martin.
