For the record, I'm all for Zimmerman getting the book thrown at him, based on what I know about that case.

But, this following article is correct - why is it this second horrible crime is so suppressed? I realize the kid didn't die; however, he was burned very badly and the nature of the attack was really awful.

The article's quotes and links showing other news stories actively suppressing parts of the attackers quotes is particularly bothersome. I don't get it. This *is* journalistic hypocrisy. This story should be a tagline on CNN's front page, just as the other vicious attack in Florida.

It probably hasn't percolated up through the media yet. It usually takes a loud mouth to start an uproar.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time i've heard of a douse another kid with lighter fluid story. What goes on in these peoples minds?

Anyone willing to concede this is comparable to tossing acid on someone?

This is more of a ratings boost for new organizations than anything in that Florida case. New organizations should be focused on other things, such as the massive amount of corruption in government and how they are used to cover it up. That'd be something worth watching

Not to sound inhumane but people get murdered every single day in this country. Shooting up some random story on the news when this is practically a daily occurrence and uniting people to bring out their torches leaves me to suspect that there is an ulterior motive

This is actually a good point.

Last weekend in the city of Chicago alone, gangbangers slaughtered ten people and wounded another forty. The youngest fatality is only six years old

So why does one shooting in Florida warrant weeks of national news


The media also fills their articles with outdated baby-faced pictures of Trayvon. Very few include that he was a towering 6’2” football player

“George ZImmerman, a white man,” or “shot by a white man.” Zimmerman is described by family as a multiracial Hispanic. His appearance is clearly that of a Latino/Mestizo individual. However, the media wants him to be white because that better fits the political narrative they are trying to create. Many news articles have also claimed the neighborhood is “mostly white.” This is also a lie. The neighborhood is only 49% white. It is over half non-white.


1.The witness reports that George Zimmerman was on the ground and Trayvon is on top of him punching him.

2.The witness says that George Zimmerman was screaming and yelling for help.

3.Police arrive and find Zimmerman bleeding on his face and the back of his head. He also has had grass stains on his back. All this confirms the story told by Zimmerman and the witness.

4.Police play the 911 tape for Trayvon Martin’s father, who tells police that the voice screaming is not the voice of his son.

The neighborhood this took place in has seen a lot of crime. Would you be surprised to learn that there were eight burglaries, nine thefts, and a shooting just in the past year? In fact, the local homeowners’ association reports that George Zimmerman actually caught one thief and aided in the apprehension of other criminals


In fact the Miami Herald goes on to interview neighbor Ibrahim Rashada, who is black. Rashada ?confirms that there has been a lot of crime in the neighborhood and indicates to the reporter that the perpetrators are usually black.

The media also characterizes Trayvon as a “model student.” In fact, he was under a five day suspension when the shooting took place. That is why he was staying at a house so far from his school on a school night. A lawyer for Trayvon’s family has blocked access to his school records. However, you have to do something pretty bad to get suspended for five days.

When I was in Milwaukee, say late teens, there was these two guys who set a nurse on fire while at some party up north in the farm country. We were at some other party on the south side when this guy started hitting on my buddy's GF, and a 4 on 4 brouhaha started to form while we were partying around this house. Little skirmishes and outbreaks between us and them...clearly leading to an outside slugfest. City punkers against out of town biker types.

Then someone told us that these were the guys who lit that nurse on fire. Suddenly a lot of people wanted to go outside with these clowns, who eventually were all standing there holding their motorcycle helmets as weapons. They ended up leaving in a bit of a rush.....which was smart for them. They were about to get a serious beat down from about 25 people.

Setting people on fire is not cool.

this story has been coming up a lot on right-wing radio in response to how much coverage the trayvon martin story has received.

it's a horrible story, but the obvious difference is the injury sustained by the burn victim vs a kid being killed. in this case, he was able to remove the shirt himself and put out the fire and had to make a trip to the emergency room. not to diminish the horrific nature of the crime, and no doubt that it warrants discussion (and the teacher in particular should be fired), but it's apples and oranges.

ironically, one of the things that people bringing up this story on the radio express frustration with is how much the trayvon story focuses on race, and then in their response focus on similar stories that are entirely focused on race. race is a dominant factor in the trayvon story, but honestly i think that's a small contributing factor and this story is also being driven by the discussion of gun laws and in particular Florida's "stand your ground" rule.

another factor of what drove the Trayvon story is the fact that the person who was responsible was let go, under circumstances that have been publicly called into question - which is really what fanned the story into a national concern. in this story, the suspects haven't been identified although an investigation is ongoing.

I just saw two witnesses tell Anderson Cooper quite the opposite. After telling their story they were asked, "was Zimmerman defending himself?"

No, the witnesses replied.

Now I realize that there is this super secret witness that the Sheriff is hiding, to be revealed later. rolling_eyes The same Sheriff that just announced that it sounds like Zimmerman said "f'ing cxxns" just before he chased after and shot the kid.
