The Lynching of George Zimmerman.

[Felch]

While I've nothing against a little experimentation, anything that has her "landing" in my lap sounds a little rough for my tastes.

Sorry, I forgot to include the context.

[Docfeelgood]

No apologies necessary, I left it ambiguous on purpose.

ACK!

[Docfeelgood]

If Zimmerman was lynched then why isn't he dead and hanging from a tree? This seems like just another desperate attempt by the right wing to pretend they're the victim instead of the murderers, as usual.

TM had a burglary tool in his locker at school

Is the word 'screwdriver' not glamorous enough? The police were the ones who used that 'burglary tool' line but then completely failed to find he had actually commited any crimes.

TM had stolen property in his locker at school

No he didn't.

See Ken? Words do matter.

No he didn't.

Where do you know this from?

No he didn't.

Yes he did. It was jewelry that matched the description of items recently burglarized from Zimmerman's neighborhood.

So maybe he stole it, maybe he didn't, but that's pretty good circumstantial evidence.

By going back over the reports and filtering out the assumptions.

You can obviously explain then why none of the items in his possession were found to have been stolen?

[regexcellent]

Not found to be stolen by whom? Or are you referring to the fact that he was merely suspended from school for the third time in a matter of months rather than criminally charged?

By the police, which is why he wasn't charged with a crime. If the items were stolen then he'd have been hit with possession of stolen goods at a minimum.

The OP video says that the school recored it as found property, not stolen. Something to do with statistics.

I was looking for something more tangible than that. The point is that most of 'the reports' have been highly biased to the point of being outright fiction.

The police didn't find it was stolen, so what else could they record it as?

It's not hard to look and see what the final result of an investigation is. The police looked into the jewellery and didn't match it to any items reported stolen. Seems pretty tangible.

Hey doofus! Get back with the other elves!

This is contradicted by other claims.

I am looking for something resembling the truth and am having a very hard time finding anything that can be relied on. Searching Trayvon Martin stolen jewelry yields no major media sources. HuffPo is one link and there are a lot of others that don't pass a sniff test. This might lend credibility to the claim that the major media created a narrative and did not report in an unbiased fashion.

Do you have a source for this?
