Typical Hannity - Let's not forget this is the same guy who took up for the cop who ended up pleading guilty to sodoming Abner Louima with a broomstick.
-----
On Thursday nights show, Sean Hannity addressed the Trayvon Martin story. Mentioning the 911 call and talk of George Zimmerman possibly uttering a racial slur, Hannity agreed the case is tragic, but asked, Is it possible it was just a horrible accident? We just dont know, he said.
Regarding the possible racial slur, he said: There were reports all over the media that he might have made on one of these 911 calls, Zimmerman, that he made have made a racial slur. But there was one report I know out of Florida today and their opinion was, its only an opinion, that in fact it wasnt a racial slur.
The question here is, Hannity said, Is this a case of a young minority person walking through a neighborhood and being targeted because they are minorities?
He continued: Could this be a terrible tragedy? Could this just be, you know, a case where Trayvon was running because he thought he was in jeopardy, [...] Is it possible it was just a horrible accident?

(15,996 posts)It wasn't just a horrible accident. It was a racist nut job, possibly one of your listeners , that decided to stalk a young man and kill him. That in no way fits the definition of an accident.
What does fit the definition of a horrible accident, Mr Hannity, is what happened one might when your father wasn't wearing a condom....

(15,189 posts)Shit Hannity just solved this whole thing. Zimmerman may have extended his hand to help Trayvon up and the gun went off. Typical Faux Noise bullshit. I wonder if it would have been an "accident" if a young white boy got shot instead, and the shooter was black and 100 pounds heavier, and with a record, and the 911 tape had racial tones in it. Amazing.

(1,405 posts)Two different words with different meanings. That's how language works.
As Rush says "Words MEAN things" Perhaps the only thing I agree with him on.
When you are cleaning your gun and you shoot your ankle off... Possibly an "Accident"
When you chase down a youngster and place a bullet in his chest...Probably not an "Accident"
Don't ever get that man in the same room with me because probably there will be bad consequences.

(12,939 posts)The Martin murder is growing into a watershed moment in our country. And to answer Mr. slopehead-no, not since Zimmerman stalked and pursued him.

(19,114 posts)These FOX idiots are about a breath away from saying something truly racist. Before this story wanes someone at FOX is going to say black people are to blame for this boy's death, that's what they're hinting at already, but when they say it, heads will roll.
Nothing like a story like this to bring the racism to the surface.
