New facts coming out point to the young man being suspended from school. Drug residue in his book bag.

Also wondering why the only photos being shown are old photos of Martin. He was a big 6'2" guy. Where are these photo's?

I think the media is complicit in attempting to publicly portray him as a little kid.

Indeed! My searches for up to date photos have failed. Something wrong here.

A boy is dead...that is sad. There surely needs to be investigation into this. A man admitted to shooting him. All details must be considered and hopefully whomever and whatever caused it comes to light.

Having said that I agree with you and I have been ranting on this media thing for years.

If, and I am not saying it will happen or should happen (my big mouth has been quiet on this, unlike many others, because I do not know anything)....but if we find to the contrary of what the nation is feeling now, this story will die overnight....just stop.

My problem on this is the media.

"Former NAACP leader accuses Sharpton and Jackson of ‘exploiting’ Trayvon Martin"

“The epidemic is truly black on black crime,” Bryant said. “The greatest danger to the lives of young black men are young black men.”

“Why not be angry about the wholesale murder that goes on in the streets of Newark and Chicago?” he asked. “Why isn’t somebody angry about that six-year-old girl who was killed on her steps last weekend in a cross fire when two gang members in Chicago start shooting at each other? Why is there no outrage about that?”

Bryant said he worries that “people like Sharpton and those on the left” will make Martin’s death a campaign issue in the presidential race.
