and what if.....JUST WHAT IF.....contrary to all the emotion....evidence, that nobody has yet.....does not warrant an arrest? a trial?? a conviction???

Let's all hope that select mob "justice" does not prevail....because you could be next.

Until you live through a near mistake created by emotion and lack of evidence some of you being duped by the media's representation of justice being sought (by racist opportunists) have no idea what you are pursuing when making up your mind without the facts.

How about the hundreds of thousands of crimes/murders happening every day that are not getting the media and racist opportunities spot light? Are they not entitled to the same mob representation? Only if and when the media decides it is worthy of their pursuit to suck in the sheeple who thrive on it.

Check the References at the bottom of this Wikipedia page on Trayvon Martin. It also says its is a current event and may change very quickly.

I do not see any problem with Wikipedia for current politics and the like. Especially, if there are a lot of References you can check up on via the web.

Mob Justice
 

Ok, I guess the mob says let's just drag the shooter out and hang him. There is no need for evidence, justice..It's just a waste of time..Let's lynch him now
and that can be our new way of handling justice. Why wait..Of course if
anyone get's picked up for a crime we will do the same. Look at the new
Black Panthers..They have put a $10,000 bount on his head. Doesn't that sound familar, (e.g. Tomestone, etc.). The mob don't need a lousy Sheriff..The mob can handle this, they can march on his home, or cell and just drag him out and hang him. Where are the domonstrations against this
type of mob justice. Who is marching for fair justice? I guess they are hiding 'out behind their windows and watching the mob go by. All these old
movies where the citizens stood up for justice was just hollywiood rubish.
It is not important that he get a fair trial. What is important is that a mob
can accuse him and hang him. How sad we have been reduced to this!!
Many don't remember but in the 60's a reporter was asking questions on the
LA docks and ran into a man by the name of Eric Hoffa. He went on to become a major speaker for democracy and justice. He became very famous
and originally was just a Long Shoreman in LA. One thing he said was that
we have to be careful not to become a nation of "cowards". What is mob
justice without a trial of your peers? Is that mob justice and being
corwards?:mad:

buggyone: You and I agree. However by manner and action Sharpton Obama, et al are making this racial. zimmerman is a miniority whatever that means in today's world and he has black family and friends.

It is not fair to anyone to have an emotional crowd creating an Oxbow Incident mentality. Look what happened in the Casey Anthony matter.
Recall how many cases of murder went unanswered or a number of years and for a number of reasons until a break in the case changed things and the party of interest then became the named suspect and then proceeded to indictment, trial etc. Just because the Sanford Police had not yet arrested Zimmerman doesn 't necessiate that they were in the wrong

Sharpton and Obama wouldserve their purpose better by speaking out against black on black crime rather than use events such as this to bolster their positions. ITS PLAIN TACKY. And these goings on only drive a deeper wedge between the races.

By the way I can't remember when I ever agreed with Geraldo Rivera. However, I actually believe there is truth to his allegations of the "hoodie" as a cause because wearing one especially in warm weather leaves me with the impression that ther person is hiding something in the same manner as a person who covers up his mouth when speaking. Hmmmmmmmm. I am going to get on his website right now and email him and tell him I wholeheartedly agree with his assessment.

What happened in the Casey Anthony matter is that she got a fair trial of her peers and was acquitted, after the taxpayers of Florida paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for her defense since she was indigent.

janMcn: Okey dokey

It's like arguing with my ex-wife all over again.

People demanding an arrest and a trial of the shooter.

So the reaction is that the 'mob' wants to haul him off and lynch him.

Ok, maybe I missed some of the more extreme rhetoric, but every story I've seen SO FAR has been calling for Zimmerman's ARREST. The "mob" doesn't want him to get off scot-free based on the admittedly un-sworn evidence that is continuing to pile up.

This is like when I argued with my ex-wife that maybe, sometimes, I might like to hear a "thank you" from time to time and she would go all hyperbolic about how I wanted her bowing down and lavishing praise 24/7.

Logic
 

There is some logic here that should be understood. There are groups who
have a $10K reward just to tell them where he is, there is Sharpton marching around rable rousing, there are people wearing hoodies to demonstrate that although he was wearing a hoodie he was still a nice guy, there is the eye
witness who said it was the guard being attacked, (key word here is eye
witness), there are "citizen marches" against the guard, and many and many so ons. AND THEN YOU HAVE THE POLICE WHO HAVE HEARD THE FACTS AND HAVE, AS YET NOT FILED AN ARREST WARRANT. WHO DO YOU BELIEVE THE ONES WHO HEARD THE FACTS OR THE ONES RABLE ROUSING? THEY ARE THE MOB!!! 'ENOUGH SAID'..!!:popcorn:

all one needs to do is acknowledge who the rable rousing leaders are.....enough said?

The death of a youth regardless the real cause is not the issue. It is nothing more than a media hyped, racist PERFORMANCE by the politicians who are doing NOTHING MORE than shining their political apple, including Obama.

Those with the higher the rank seem to have need to play the race card...how else can they get the black vote? It certainly is not based on what the blacks in political office have done for their following.

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.
