There is misinformation and alligations from all sides. It's sad because it does nothing but muddy the water for real facts, which we may never know.

At least have the courtesy to admit you don't have evidence and it's just your opinion. Happens here all the time.

I talk out of my ass as much as the next poster, but I usually try to at least admit I don't have hard evidence when I do so.

There's also the FACT that the 911 dispatcher told Zimmerman NOT to go after the kid.

The pictures of Trayvon... the younger Trayvon.

Or Maybe..

Al Sharpton saying his body laid in a morgue for three days...

I am just saying the misinformation and allegations are flying from both sides of the aisle.

The man called the cops. He stalked the kid. They told him not to. He claimed "those assholes always get away" then he clled the kid a "fucking coon".

THe kid had no weapon, Zimmerman did. The kid is dead, Zimmerman has a bump on his head.

This ain't fucking rocket science.

9. What misinformation from the Martin Family
Mon Mar 26, 2012, 03:28 PM
Mar 2012

The 911 tape clearly shows that Zimmerman was tracking Martin. That is fact. It is also fact that Martin was unarmed and Zimmerman was lawfully carrying a 9mm. It is also fact that Martin is dead and that Zimemrman has admitted shooting and killing Martin. The Martin family had disputed none of this, however what they have said is why is the character of a dead 17 year old boy being maligned by people who know nothing about him. Why has the press not dug into Zimmerman's backround any fuirther. We know that he assaulted a police officer, we know that he has 2 domestic violence filing against him but the files are sealed. We also know that Treyvon Martin did not have any criminal record at all. Why would you attack the character of a dead person unless your client had something to hide. Enjoy your stay here, however brief it may be.

Michelle Malkin posted it on her site and then took it down.

The kid looked NOTHING like Trayvon. Damn idiots!
