they absolutely were....showing pictures of when he was 9 and 11??? Totally were trying to oversensitize the issue and make it resonate with the mob.
It was downright disgusting...the media coverage is just as much of a tragedy as the death of Martin.
One of my former students was savagely murdered when he was 22. I found out about it via an early morning telephone call from a reporter who wanted to know if he could come to my house to photograph this student's yearbook photo. The photo, if I had said yes, would have been 4 years old and looked totally different from the young man who lost his life.
Newspapers are in a feeding frenzy when it comes to sensational stories. They grab their info wherever they can get it, not with the intent to sway public opinion, but in an effort to be the first to get the story out there.
The main word in your post is "if". Surely you know that if is a very important word in anything like this. I say that because of the fact that Zimmeman didn't do as told to by the 911 operator. What I am getting at is that IF the dog hadn't stopped to sh*t he would have won the race. So often people fail to see that all the things about ifs and buts are so very true. The man did go after the young man, much larger than his 12 year old picture makes him appear to be, lost him and got taken from behind. As more and more comes out from neighbors it becomes more and more obvious that Trayvon may well have hidden himself and then attacked.
The media had too much to do with all of this and we nearly had race riots from the fact that people thought a boy was attacked and shot.
Roy - I don't think there is any doubt whether or not GZ got out of his car. You can hear him breathing somewhat heavily once he says that TM is leaving - it is apparent that he is following him - on foot. Or perhaps he is doing push-ups inside his car.

Compare what Trayvon Martin looked like to George Zimmerman on the night of his tragic death to the picture the MSM continually spread around in their shameless attempt to influence public opinion against Zimmermann without giving a chance for all the facts to come out.
Whether Mr. Zimmermann or Trayvon Martin was more responsible for the events that led to Trayvon's unneccesary death is irrelevant(except for in the justice system). The MSM is guilty of manipulating the information the public received in order to produce a bias. They shouldn't be taken seriously ever again.
Actually, Trayvon Martin looks innocent in the 7-11 video as well.
What isn't "innocent looking" is your agenda which is quite nefarious and sinister in nature.
Four of five years older than he was in that picture. The media screwed this one from the very beginning with that picture of the so innocent looking little boy when he was much larger and older.
And I have absolutely no doubt that they did so on purpose - or that those who provided this picture (I don't know where it came from) had a reason for choosing one that showed a much younger TM.
How do you know what they could "easily" have done?
Because it was weeks after the shooting. The Martin's attorney went to the media to get the story covered. This wasn't a rush coverage where they had to get a picture quick. This was a packaged story that was a couple of weeks old. The media had time to investigate, time to get more current pics, etc. They chose to accept the pictures and stories that were packaged by Crump & team, and every time more evidence comes out, the media and all those who continue to believe Crump's spoon fed story looks like idiots.

You really are sure that all the neighbors who have come forward and said that they saw Martin sitting on the other man beating him about the head and shoulders are all liars, aren't you? Get off this racial sounding crap and talk like the person you are.
I don't think he is saying that. It sounds to me that all he is saying is that TM was minding his own business. GZ saw him and thought he looked suspicious - and started this chain of events.
On the 911 call, you can hear how he says that he saw a suspicious-looking guy who is now checking him out. In other words, had GZ just kept on driving, TM would have just kept walking because there would not have been anyone to check out, and not a soul in the world would have any discussions about it.
Police would have shown up, checked on TM, and acted accordingly. That, however, is not what happened. GZ started these events. For all we know, all TM was doing was walking home from the store while "looking suspicious."
It's not against the law to leave your car. It's not against the law to watch a suspicious person or suspicious activity. It's not against the law to ask someone what he's doing.
Of course not. Still, common interpretation of law holds that a person who starts a chain of events is responsible for what follows.
It's not against the law to make a left turn, but if you do so into oncoming traffic, you are responsible for the aftermath.
