They are not interested in what really happened....what ever that was or may have been...they want their pound of flesh for how they want it believed...don't confuse the issue with facts....eh?
Why are we seeing only posed pictures of the boy? What age is he in the pictures?
Instead of playing the same emotion only scenarios and extensive coverage of the racist opportunists in action stirring the crowds, the media should back off and wait for release of real information. The same old, same old racist drum beating is fast approaching overkill.

Bravo. Very well stated.
Also, Richie, I saw the current photo of the 17 year old. Unless a reporter is willing to dig and not care whose feelings get hurt when getting to the truth, we will continue to see the mug shot of Zimmerman and the photo of Martin from when he was 13 or 14 years old. I also read the Twitter account where he indicated he'd taken a swing at a school bus driver.
Does any of that explain what happened? Of course not. This is a country based on the rule of law. A grand jury has been conveyned to hear the evidence. I have faith in their verdict to determine if there is enough evidence to charge Zimmerman and allow the case to go to court.
