Trayvon Martin & George Zimmerman: "The Huge Hypocrisy of the World" & The Media
They are at it again, the self-serving media. The courts excluded "irrelevant" personal history information for Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman, as appropriate in a trial for the facts of the matter of the killing of Trayvon. But, that's not a conspiracy, that's an appropriate legal procedure. It is otherwise with our "money-mad media", they have all conspired to keep facts of Martin and Zimmerman from the American public debate on the matter--because it doesn't serve their economic or political interests. Though the following facts may not be relevant to the murder trial, they are relevant, perhaps, to understanding the reality of the situation. If the following are indeed facts of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman they ought to be included in the discussion of the matter.
Anyone who wants to know the facts can easily google "Trayvon Martin jewel theft" to discover that he (in February, if I recall correctly) apparently burglarized a home in the area and made off with gold, silver, and diamonds." He was stopped by the school police, when he was appearing suspicious, and the officer found 12 pieces of jewelry and a burglary tool in his back-pack. Because of the politics of the school police, they quit arresting Blacks at the school, because it was making them look bad and perhaps jeopardizing their pay raises. This is what is reported and has been uncovered by seemingly responsible journalists--if it is not true the record should be corrected. The jewelry was confiscated and taken to the police office--the local family who had been burglarized was not even at the time informed of it. Trayvon was not even arrested, but just let go. If the police had done their job, Trayvon would have had to account for his actions and who knows, if that were on his record. how he might have otherwise responded to Zimmerman. The police, it would seem, have responsibility for their own malfeasance. They may have even committed a crime in their handling of the case.
And, by the turning of the worm, George Zimmerman was not the helpless wimp that they tried to make out, but had been arrested for domestic violence and assaulting a police officer in a bar--when the policeman was questioning a friend of his for selling liquor to a minor. Zimmerman reportedly slugged the police officer in the face. Is it possible George's father being a Judge (and maybe ethnically Jewish?) had anything to do with George get off easily, as he appears to have? Perhaps race or ethnicity or position of influence may well have had an influence here, too?
Not one news network, that I know of--this includes CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc., not one of our great leader "talking heads" has dared to mention any of this. They are too busy making money by glutting the networks with the case and pushing their political agendas--all of them!.
If this information, which is easy for anyone to google is not true, please let me know, so that I can correct this comment or just delete it for want of the truth.

•In 2005, Zimmerman, then 20, was arrested and charged with “resisting officer with violence” and “battery of law enforcement officer,” both which are third-degree felonies. The charge was reduced to “resisting officer without violence” and then waived when he entered an alcohol education program. Contemporaneous accounts indicate he shoved an officer who was questioning a friend for alleged underage drinking at an Orange County bar.
