Get over it. It's not some kind of racist media conspiracy.

Seriously??

Have you been following the media coverage of the case??

The left-wing mainstream media has effectively convicted Zimmerman without a trial and seems to be encouraging a lynching.

MSNBC has been criminal in its coverage. Multiple commentators have assumed Zimmerman guilty of murder - Lawrence O'Donnell even described the incident as an "execution."

The media has inflamed the case by using race and critical to their racist agenda is the portrayal of both participants in racial terms.

To add insult to injury, the media has even distorted the case by concluding that "stand your ground" laws are relevant when simple self defense may be applicable.

I don't know whether Zimmerman is quilty of anything or not. It's entirely possible that he shot Martin in self defense. Evidence made public thus far seems to support this possibility. It's not even clear whether there is appropriate evidence to warrant charging Zimmerman with anything - let alone second degree murder. It will be interesting to see if the full evidence supports the DA's decision to charge Zimmerman and whether racist public hysteria pressured the DA into an unjust decision.

This is beginning to be reminiscent of the Duke Lacrosse case.
