The Trayvon Martin case has now reached the pinnacle of absurdity. The following ABC News report shows that George Zimmerman received some rather significant injuries during the altercation. This is a far cry from their previous report which claimed video showed Zimmerman had no injuries at all:
The autopsy report on Trayvon Martin has been released and it shows damages to his knuckles. It also shows that he was shot at a distance from 1 to 18 inches. According to another recent ABC News report, the police reports and the witness statements also back up George Zimmerman’s version of events:

Oh, by the way, it turns out that Trayvon Martin tested positive for marijuana. I guess you never know about those skittles. But facts never get in the way of liberals. The State Prosecutor is still planning to try him for Second Degree murder. This is so unjustified that even Alan Dershowitz is embarrassed and outraged. To add insult to injury, Eric Holder has the FBI investigating in the desperate search for “some” evidence of a hate crime, so he can seek the death penalty.
I know there are always two sides to every story and strongly belief that the legal system should be allowed to work. But enough is enough. It is increasingly clear that the liberal left tried and convicted George Zimmerman in the court of public opinion because they were absolutely desperate to find evidence of angry white people attacking innocent black children. Now, after finally seeing some of the hard evidence, it is obvious that the media got it all wrong. At best this was disgracefully inept reporting. At worst it was deliberately distorting the facts in an attempt to generate racial outrage. Sadly, this succeeded when people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton rose to the bait and could not resist biting at the racial outrage apple.
George Zimmerman was presumed guilty because he looked white. Incredibly, when it turned out that Zimmerman is actually Hispanic, the media invented a new term, “white Hispanic,” to try and justify their racist opinion. Zimmerman had to be white, otherwise who would think he was guilty? Trayvon Martin was assumed innocent because he looked black. Trayvon Martin wasn’t shot for “walking while black,” George Zimmerman was prosecuted for “defending himself while white.”
The media was right about one thing. This is a racist hate crime. It is a hate crime against George Zimmerman. Congratulations to ABC for running this story. CNN is also starting to report more accurately. Of course they still had Dr. Drew on so they could “explain away the marijuana” but at least they reported it. Both CNN and ABC botched it big time at the start, but now they are doing a much better job of reporting this fairly and accurately. It is important to recognize it when the main stream media does get it right.
I think the backlash on the Trayvon Martin case is about to reach historic levels. It should! If George Zimmerman was a black man facing criminal charges because of such flimsy evidence there would be “Free George Zimmerman” signs all over the country. Sounds about right!

Yes sir, Terry!!!
I kept telling folks that they needed to quiet down and wait for the facts of this incident to come forward…and they are as we speak. Frankly speaking, I am incensed that many in the black community would always jump to their biased conclusions without considering the facts. It is getting rather tiring.
