White Supremacist Hacks Into Trayvon Martin's Email, Leaks Everything Online

[paperview]

i see a young black boy in this picture...what do you see ?

Someone that doesn't look like he is 12.

That's what they do.

they used the pictures that are available.

I don't believe that. I really don't. Anyone who doesn't believe the media would purposely distort a story should remember the Rodney King incident and how the media was the single reason why the riots to place.
