No matter what happens at this point in this case. the rabid left have made sure of the impossibility of Mr. Zimmerman getting a fair and impartial jury.. should it come to that..Way to go libturds..
The unbalanced coverage of this is my biggest complaint. I have followed several cases that were wrongful convictions, which were overturned, and one thing many of those cases have in common is a bias media willing to convict them before they set foot in a court room.
We all have the right to a fair trial and I don't see how that is possible when the media taints the jury pool. How many people hate Zimmerman and are hoping like hell they get a chance to be on the jury? They will lie about being bias and say what they need to in order to get chosen even though they have already made up their minds and could care less about what is presented in court.
Umm..
If there was no media circus about this, there would be NO trial at all - the police were content to let Zimmerman go home, and ignore the dead kid.
He still hasn't been arrested yet, but it's nice to see how worried you are about whether he gets a "fair trial".
Would no trial at all been "fair"?
The media is repeating lies, which does not help bring about justice. So far, they've managed to rile people up and embolden groups like the Black Panthers to make death threats against Zimmerman. The press has vilified Zimmerman and carefully hidden anything negative about Martin.
We can handle the truth and the public deserves it.
The police did investigate and since then, we've heard from more witnesses who are backing up Zimmerman's account. It's quite possible that the police did the right thing. They were there and saw the evidence and talked to witnesses. I know it hasn't occurred to some people, but maybe the police got it right. I know that doesn't go over well with the lynch mobs, but must be considered. Of course, now they are under pressure and with threats of violence looming, they have to go over things again. Whether it will change the outcome of the initial investigation isn't known, but when people out there can't control their tempers, we end up with a volatile situation, so it's necessary to double check and be thorough. It would help if people could have an open mind till they have all the facts, but that'll never happen.
No matter who gets arrested in this country, they have rights. Like it or not. Some of the same people who would happily deny Zimmerman his right to a fair trial would not tolerate their own rights trampled if they found themselves accused of a crime. Remember, we all have rights or none of us do. I think our rights, like our constitution, are sacred.
Too many people have taken a little information and rushed to judgement and now won't budge regardless of what comes to light. Breaking through that mob mentality is a difficult task at best.
And many have noted that the press is selective as to when/if they mentioned the color of either the victim or perp. Color is the detemining factor in how any incident will be covered, but will only be mentioned in certain circumstances.
There are so many rules and exceptions to the rules in how liberals insist people should be labeled.
If a Latino is an illegal alien, they are simply referred to as Latino or Hispanic undocumented immigrants.
If a Latino is accused of attacking a white person, they are simply called male or female suspect.
If a Latino is accused of attacking another Hispanic, they are simply called male or female suspect.
If a Latino is accused of attacking a black, they are referred to as white or the brand new, just revealed "white Hispanic", but the latter is only used if people notice the obvious Latino ethnicity.
If a white person says anything at all that any liberal disagrees with, they are referred to as racists.
If people like the Black Panthers make death threats to whites and encourage violence, no one says a damn thing.
When people in Florida sell out all their t-shirts with racist remarks towards whites, no one says a damn thing.
I've seen so many posts about how Zimmerman is guilty. Zimmerman would deserve it if the Black Panthers took an eye for an eye, a life for a life. Zimmerman has been called names and many assumptions have been made about him.
Then the same people who make inflammatory and hateful remarks about Zimmerman have the nerve to say they want truth and justice. Really? If they are interested in the truth, then why do they resist any new information if it doesn't compliment their foregone conclusions?
Thankfully, even considering the worst case scenario here, this is a rare incident. We have murders daily by gangs and other criminals and the media and politicians yawn, yet they have chosen to treat this one tragedy as if it's an epidemic. They are creating a crisis in order to advance an agenda. The result of the bias reporting is deepening racial tensions and calls from some politicians to take away more of our rights.
I feel bad for Trayvon's family. No matter what the circumstances, they have suffered a great deal.
Maybe Zimmerman will end up in jail. Maybe not. While the media has been bias in how they presented the two guys to the public and have pushed only one possible version of events, the truth may not be so cut and dried.
