Never letting a good crisis go to waste. Chuck Schumer and the opportunistic left-wing seek gun controls, and review of defense law. Oh, SURPRISE.
WASHINGTON – New York Sen. Chuck Schumer is calling for hearings into Florida’s controversial “Stand Your Ground” law in the wake of the killing of teenager Trayvon Martin.
Appearing on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday, the Democratic senator argued that the law, which empowers a person to use deadly force when he or she is under serious threat, impeded investigations into killings like Martin’s. George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman who shot Martin, has held that he’s protected under the law.
“I think we should examine this law,” Schumer said. (read more)
First ABC began backing down. Now, less than 24 hours later it’s NBC’s turn. In two stories, both attached to the Trayvon Martin Case, NBC needs to walk back from their prior reporting:
In the first story NBC is forced to admit that George Zimmerman DID actually have a severe cut and swelling on his head consistent with his statements to police. The stolen and leaked ABC tape was selectively and intentionally manipulated.
MSNBC Admits Zimmerman had head injury. (more…)
Sharpton Explains How He Manipulates Media On Race Cases
If you watch the video above you will understand better why Trayvon Martin’s girlfriend “DeeDee” has not been permitted to give sworn testimony, or a statement to the police. (more…)
“ARREST THAT MAN“, don’t charge him with anything, just “ARREST HIM”…. That’s the cry from Al Sharpton, Ben Jealous and Jesse Jackson at the Sanford Rally today.
SANFORD, FL – The purpose of today’s rally is for Sanford PD to bring Mr. Zimmerman to justice,” said Benjamin Todd Jealous, National NAACP President and CEO. “We are all united in our call for justice to be done here in Sanford. And it’s clear that this community is coming together around this call for Mr. Zimmerman to be brought to justice. (more…)
OH no you don’t…… ABC is trying slowly to back away from their specific and intentional narrative. They are trying to regain some credibility. However, they will NOT be permitted to walk away from their culpability in this false intentional manipulation. We will hold them to account. Here is their latest attempt to walk away innocently whistling, after specifically and intentionally falsifying their reporting:
(ABC News) Old Photos May Be Deceptive in Fla. Shooting Case – When he was shot, Trayvon Martin was not the baby-faced boy in the photo that has been on front pages across the country. And George Zimmerman wasn’t the beefy-looking figure in the widely published mugshot.
Both photos are a few years old and no longer entirely accurate. Yet they may have helped shape initial public perceptions of the deadly shooting. (more…)
MOB JUSTICE – MOB PIECE
It’s beginning to all make sense as it comes together. When Al Sharpton was hired by MSNBC just about everyone was scratching their head trying to figure out why. If you look at the decision merely from a historical -Walter Cronkite qualification- reference, it made no sense at all. But if you look at the decision from a -Jerimiah Wright qualifications- reference, it makes perfect sense.
The latest declaration from Al Sharpton takes us even closer to understanding the “bigger picture”. Today Sharpton announces: He Will Call For An Escalation In Civil Disobedience Until Zimmerman Is Arrested.
He still works for MSNBC. THINK ABOUT IT.
(Orlando Sentinel) — If George Zimmerman is not arrested in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin soon, the Rev. Al Sharpton will call for an escalation in peaceful civil disobedience and economic sanctions. (more…)
Since we posted this initial thread exposing the manipulation by ABC news in their stolen “expose'” video, the Sanford Police Department has released the “official” copy of the same surviellance footage from the CCTV system from the police station. The official versions carry the “Sanford Police Department” stamp in the upper right corner.
However, various media outlets are not NOTIFYING viewers when they scrub the stolen footage and replace with the “official” footage. More evidence of the media manipulation. *As a note in the “official” footage a “butterfly bandage” is clearly visible on the bridge of the nose of George Zimmerman.*….. /SD
Oh what a tangled web is weaved…..
A police surveillance video obtained by ABC news shows George Zimmerman’s arrival at the police station following the Trayvon Martin shooting. It is being used by people, and manipulated by the media in an apparent attempt to bolster their case that Trayvon did not attack Zimmerman.
Watching the video many Trayvon advocates, and those with a vested interest in selling the Trayvon family story, are saying the video is damning to Zimmerman because they cannot make out any significant injuries to his face or back of his head.
However, there is something more evident, and far more damning, in the video than most observers are focusing on. A BFD (I’ll explain after the video).
Despite the screams from within those with emotional rabid biases on the Trayvon Martin VS George Zimmerman case, to discuss “Character” is not “smear”, nor is it racist.
If Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton are going to go on national TV to wage a media campaign with Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and their team of more than half a dozen lawyers, denouncing George Zimmerman to be a “racist vigilante”, and “wannabe cop” while decrying their son as angelic victim they have introduced the “character” aspect into this discussion.
No-one knows what happened in that 1:30 seconds of unwitnessed and unrecorded face to face confrontation between Trayvon and George. However, if the background behavior and history of Mr. Zimmerman is “vital to the case”, then so too is it necessary and appropriate to apply the same standard of understanding to the behavior and history of young Martin.

Bobby Rush proves that big D after his name stands for “deliberately dense dipwad”, when he decides to strike the radical pose… and in the meantime ensure his reelection in 2012. According to Rep. Gregg Harper (R) — Rush was violating the rule against wearing hats.
“The chair will ask the Sargent of Arms to enforce the prohibition on decorum,” said Harper, acting as speaker. “Members need to remove their hoods or leave the floor.”
You can fast-forward to 2:35 for the unveiling.
Rush insisted that just because someone wears a hoodie that doesn’t make them a hoodlum. (Has anyone pointed out the similarities in these two words to Congressman Rush (Big D)?
The New Black Panthers think they’re above the law. Why? Because of one man…Eric Holder. If this stuff isn’t met with resistance, what person or group will be next on their list? Putting bounties on citizens heads, as well as soliciting kidnapping while traveling over state lines is a felony in Florida. So, where’s the Florida Attorney General?
