The ‘rabid’ hate
aimed at Trayvon Martin

Washington Post, by Jonathan Capehart

Original Article

Posted By:NorthernDog, 2/5/2013 9:49:18 AM

Eighteen years ago today, Trayvon Benjamin Martin was born to Sabrina Fulton and Tracy Martin. Nearly a year ago, their son was killed by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer in a gated community in Sanford, Fla., who viewed Trayvon as “a real suspicious guy.” Instead, the unarmed teenager was found with a bag of Skittles and an iced tea from 7-Eleven and a bullet hole in his chest from Zimmerman’s Kel-Tec 9 mm PF-9. Zimmerman now awaits trial for second-degree murder. A trial that his attorney is trying to delay. But he will have his day in court.

Comments:
No hate for Trayvon, but for a media that continues to portray him as an angelic 12-year-old instead of who he actually was on that tragic night.

Still clinging to the narrative in the face of the evidence.

They want to either convict an innocent man or, failing that, cause a riot. They´re evil.

The hate isn´t aimed at him. It is aimed at the culture that teaches kids like Trayvon that there are no consequences for thuggish behavior. It is also aimed at a media that wants to make everything about race, when the reality is that almost nothing is about race.

I wasn´t aware that St. Trayvon is 11 years old, but there´s his picture.

Sans halo, of course. The press wouldn´t go that far.

And the W-P continues to use the ´innocent looking little boy´ photo. Nice touch.
The request for a delay in the trial of zimmerman is related to the fact that the obese nifong-like angela corey is not providing evidence, as required by discovery rules. Zimmerman´s attorneys have a right to all evidence available to the prosecution, prior to going to trial. And it takes time to verify the evidence.

Were it not for the "media", people like Capehart would not be able to get jobs and would therefore become community organizers, decidedly a non-job.

How dare a non-black confront an "African-American" from casing the neighborhood. Non-blacks should bow and allow theft, murder, or whatever the Chosen Minority wants to do.

I don´t hate Trayvon at all. I feel sorry for the poor kid. He bought into the gangsta style.

Liberals classify anything that resists their agenda as "hate". You can´t just disagree with a liberal, you must hate them. Notice not "hate their agenda but hate them personally. It´s vastly over the top hyperbole but they are going for the emotional win so they make insane claims to reach their goals. The compliant MSM echoes the sentiment and it become propaganda.

The evidence shows that Trevon Martin was a stranger walking in an area that had problems with break-ins. He was noticed by Zimmerman, a resident, and reported to police. Somehow, a confrontation ensued. Apparently, Martin was angry enough to begin pummeling Zimmerman severely. Zimmerman lacked any wounds showing he was aggressive (scraped knuckles) and Martin showed little damage from the altercation besides the gun wound. Zimmerman, in fear of his life from an aggressive assailant, shot him in self defense.

There is evidence missing to completely support this narrative but none to contradict it.

Liberals don´t want this to become yet another over reaction story and a re desperately spinning it but it was a vast over reaction to a tragic situation.

Hate Trevon Martin? We barely know who he is. He was clearly angry in this confrontation. If he had controlled his temper the outcome would have been very different. The police would have arrived sorted it all out and everyone would have gone on their way. Too bad he didn´t control his temper.

Trayvon was acting suspiciously in an area that had recently, and repeatedly, fallen victim to criminals matching his discretion.

Trayvon had a violent past and was known to use drugs.

Trayvon stalked and attacked a voluneer neighboorhood watchman, stating he intended to kill Zimmerman, and beating him on the concrete sidewalk.

But for Zimmerman having a pistol, he´d be a dead man.

But for racist media and the racist president, Zimmerman would be celebrated as a hero.

Read the comments that follow the editorial.

Every lie-beral argument is based on falsified and fake ´´evidence´´ that the media released that was all proven to be false. Yet, because the MSM reported it, they still believe it it all true and base their opinions on that fake information.

Even though Zimmerman was a Hispanic man, he is going to be sacrificed in the court of PC as ´´an evil white man who was hunting for some young black hide´´.

Meanwhile, in Chicago, how many black males have shot and killed other black males with clear and intentional intent to murder them since Zimmerman defended his life from this thug???

There is no rabid hate for Trayvon, but the media wants to portray this kid as a saint. He was caught at school with a bag full of jewelry, with a flat head screw driver in the bag. The evidence suggests he might have stolen the jewelry. He was suspended from school five times in three months. He is loitering in a neighborhood that has high crime. Evidence shows that Zimmerman had given up the chase and was getting in his car to go when Trayvon wanted a fight. So the kid is dead; he should have just walked away, but his kind always wants to prove a point. And his mother wants to get rich using Trayvon´s incident.

Besides the media-driven images of an angelic little 11-year old riding ponies, other reports emerged describing Martin in his teens who was increasingly adversarial and had a history of sucker punching complete strangers.

That M.O. of Martin explains a lot of what Zimmerman may have encountered that rainy night.

BTW, Martin innocently buying skittles and Arizona iced tea prior to the incident may be only part of the story. Those are key ingredients to a fad hip-hop urban concoction known as ´purple drank´, ´sizzrup´ or ´lean´. Mixed with cough syrup containing promethazine or codeine makes a highly addictive depressant.

Capeheart can´t get it through his programmed head that this is not about hating Trayvon Martin.

He needs to take a good long look at ambulance-chasing lawyer Crump who turned this case into a public relations campaign, with Ryan Julison and the help of ABC newser Matt Guttman, on the way to another big fat personal injury check for the Martin family and a nice big fat check to Crump and his law firm.

Capeheart is looking in the wrong places. But that´s what Capeheart does.

The reason for his emergence with this story is that there is a hearing in the case today.

Capehart, he wasn´t shot because he was ´a real suspicious guy.´ He was shot because he was trying to split Zimmerman´s head open on the sidewalk. You can try and live in a magical world where bad ´journalists´ create reality, but in the real world punk ´gangstas´ who attack armed people sometimes get shot. Figure it out you propagandist.

Hey Jonathan: How about publishing a picture of Trayvon as he appeared at the time of his death, instead of when he was a youth? Also, how about publishing some background on his run-ins with the law?

What? It doesn´t fit the narrative? I see.....

Yes, I admit it. I must be a racist.

I hate all black criminals and thugs.

I hate all white (and Asian, American Indian, Latino, etc.) crominals and thugs just as much, too.

It´s just that because there are so many more black criminals and thugs than non-blacks, that it becomes noticeable.

Is going gluten-free
healthier for everybody?
The Week, by Staff    Original Article

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

The US defence department has delayed an intercontinental ballistic missile test that had been planned for next week at an air force base in California amid mounting tensions with North Korea, according to a senior official. Defence secretary Chuck Hagel reportedly decided to put off the long-planned Minuteman 3 test until next month because of concerns the launch could be misinterpreted and exacerbate the Korean crisis. "This is the logical, prudent and responsible course of action to take," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The test was not connected to the ongoing annual

BOISE, Idaho — Authorities in eastern Idaho are investigating the shooting deaths of two men and a woman whose bodies were found in a home that contained a marijuana grow operation. The deaths took place sometime between Thursday afternoon and evening by someone who had some type of relationship with the victims, the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office said. The bodies were discovered Friday outside Holbrook, a town of about 400 people just north of the Idaho-Utah state line. Authorities said a 2-month-old was found under the arm of one of the victims — 27-year-old Yavette Chivon Carter.

Climate change is expanding sea ice in Antarctica, a paradoxical finding that appears to be the result of melting glaciers, according to a new study. As freshwater glaciers melt, cold water sinks into the ocean, keeping the sea colder than it would otherwise be. The fresh water is less dense than seawater, so it floats on the top layer of the ocean, which in turn stays cooler. That makes it easier for the seas to freeze again in the Antarctic fall and winter, scientists say. This negative feedback is expected to continue, they added. Sea ice levels

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth.
