I am in 100% agreement with Britster and Cpt_noonie and Yorkiemom1 on this whole issue. The media had left A LOT OF THE FACTS FROM THIS CASE out of the news reports. They further edited a bit of the 911 call Zimmerman placed and made it a racial issue. Our wonderful president didn't help much either by stating if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon. The media further caused racial issues by calling Zimmerman a "white Hispanic." If that is the case, then is our president a "white African-American?" The media, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and our very own president have been the ones causing the racial tensions in this case. Zimmerman didn't say to himself, "I'm gonna shoot this kid because he's black." Zimmerman shot him to defend himself because Martin was on top of him beating him up. I would do the same thing if I were in Zimmerman's shoes. All this said, I believe the president is using this case to further his agenda to get guns out of the hands of the American people. "We should ask ourselves if we're doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis," Obama said.
This coming off the Sandy Hook shooting... another way to politicize this case and further Obama's agenda to disarm Americans. Okay, maybe I watch too many conspiracy theories, but it fits right into his palm. Had to put my 2 cents in this.
