    What do you have that proves that the media is biased?

    If it was a game I would have won it long ago, in the very thread where you stated your bigoted tirade about Arabs in the aisles of airplanes.

    Sorry game over. So is this discussion.

    See the early posts in this thread. Some examples:

    1) pictures of Trayvon Martin from age 11, but only mugshot pictures of George Zimmerman

    2) Trying to play to people's sympathies by frequently mentioning that Martin was "only carrying Skittles"

    3) Assassinating George Zimmerman's character based on charges that were dropped in the past

    4) usage of subjective adjectives to describe Zimmerman such as an "overzealous neighborhood watch captain", and a "vigilante"

    This link is for Bigtexxx, Gwayneco and Sir Jackie

    Bigtexxx....stand your ground laws should have applied to the shooter in this case right? He felt his life was in danger.

    It's AMAZING that the Liberal CNN shows us countless pictures of the white victim and his family to persuade us. They are so bias right.

    This tragic story was not national news because the police did their job (IMO) and arrested the shooter and had him stand trial. But did the shooter have a right to stand his ground even though he's black? All the witnesses (even the daughter) says that the victim came towards the shooter once the gun came out.

    I just like to know how you feel about the black man being arrested and if he deserves to be set free based on your same logic that Zimmerman might be innocent?

    1) pictures of Trayvon Martin from age 11, but only mugshot pictures of George Zimmerman (Sorry but aren't any mugshots of Trayvon..shocking)
    2) Trying to play to people's sympathies by frequently mentioning that Martin was "only carrying Skittles" (That's just facts...people want to know if trayvon had a weapon and unfortuately he didn't...just skittles)

    3) Assassinating George Zimmerman's character based on charges that were dropped in the past (plea bargin...still attacked the officer..that happened. Dropping charges doesnt mean it didn't happen. I was speeding 2 years ago and they dropped the charges because I paid them $125)

    4) usage of subjective adjectives to describe Zimmerman such as an "overzealous neighborhood watch captain", and a "vigilante"[/QUOTE] (Again Facts...you're just upset that the guy you're rooting for isn't getting good press. Hannity needs to do his job)

    Bias media did it for this case too.....

    They're still trying to cover their behinds. He should have been fired, not allowed to merely recuse himself from the glare of public outrage. But the city officials can't/won't do that because they know have knowingly allowed this type of gross police misconduct to carry on for a long time and are themselves standing on thin ice. It's too little too late at this point.

    Ha...that's it?
    1- How do you know where they got the picture from, maybe that's the only picture they've been able to obtain from facebook/the family/ who knows. You are assuming.

    2- Is that not a...ya know...fact. Also extremely relevant in case people are wondering if Martin was carrying a weapon. You're reaching again

    3- Hmmm, prior cases with somewhat similar events against someone who just murdered someone. Yup, they only bring that up for bias, it's not relevant at all.

    4- Which of those things that you listed is he not? I'll wait and allow you to get your thoughts together.

    Seems someones dislike of the Lamestream media is getting in the way of his judgement...

    Just threw up in my mouth...I can't wait for heads to role (yes...i'm in witch hunting mode now)

    It's all a bunch of BS cover up. Lies

    Where is this witness that CONFIRMED Zimmerman's story? oohh you mean the NON arresting officer?

    And of course they didn't say Zimmerman's record was squeaky clean....The stupid father had it backwards. What they said was Zimmerman seemed squeaky clean. make sense.

    I do not think that Zimmerman would be found guilty under federal hate crime legislation. I have not had any dealings with the matter in close to ten years, but when I practiced in that area fresh out of law school simply uttering a racial slur was not sufficient.

    On a side note I agree with most of the self defense laws at the state level.

    I'm not usually one to care about typos/mistakes, but this is incompetence at its finest. A highly publicized case like this that is being examined with a magnifying glass and they make a mistake like that on their press release. Pathetic.

    Really unbelievable, especially with all the negative attention they have already gotten, and they are making it worse.
