Trayvon Martin

They wont ever go to trial if the local police and his daddy who is a judge covers it up.

and this is the problem. we know hardly any of the facts of the case, yet there are a multitude, rallied and stirred up by the likes of al sharpton and the black panthers, who have already decided that if zimmerman doesn't fry then it was a race based decision made by racist police. These things do as much negative for race based unity as anything else.

Politicians have always played on what's popular to garner votes. Obama, bush, clinton, regan, etc. That's nothing new. So again what is your point? And you are right kids of all races get murdered every day. Until we as a society stand up to these monsters and say no more and stop arguing over trivial items such as was the kid wearing a hoodie or did he point his middle finger on facebook we will still keep dancing around the real issues.

The point is Obama, Sharpton, Jackson has made this into a racial ordeal. It has all been done through the media, why? Was it because he knew he wasn't going to get re-elected?

What about the lead investigator of the case (who happens to be white) who wanted to file manslaughter charges against zimmerman but was over rulled by the powers that be?

How is President Obama not going to be elected? Do you republicans have some secret canidate that you plan on revealing to the world at your convention?

i'm not saying the guy doesn't deserve to fry. i am saying we don't know. if martin was (as some reports say) slamming zimmerman's head into the ground, that changes everything.

in fact, if that happened, i think manslaughter would be more in line with the charges. However, anything short of murder one is going to result in some very bad reactions.

Don't be grouping everyone together now. I am just saying that he made such a big deal about Trayvon and there is other kids also being murdered. It is amazing that now Obama is leading in Florida, hmmmm minipulating the media to get votes. Something "new" isn't it?

That's strange. I was watching TV last night and the "Republican talking head" was actually praising Obama for not getting overly involved in the case.

except for his "if I had a son he would look like trayvon" line. The president of the US helped make this an issue of race. Outrage at the case I would expect, not adding to the racial fire.

I even seen white people make reference to Trayvon being their son. Believe it or not some white people do have compassion for blacks. President Obama was not making this into a racial issue. Thanks for trying.

looking like and acting like are 2 different things

guess what, obama saying "if I had a son he would LOOK like trayvon" is him making it about race. He didn't say "he could be my son" or "that could have been anyone's son." He made it about race. You can act like you don't see it but that doesn't make it false. thanks for trying though.

and spare me with your "some white people do have compassion for blacks" crap. that is exactly what i'm talking about. it should have nothing to do with black and white. I have compassion for the kids family and it has nothing to do with the color of his skin.
