Aw, fuck..MSNBC's showing 7/11 security cam footage of Trayvon Martin "moments before he was killed"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

7/11 security cam of him buying his Skittle and ice tea. Can only imagine how his parents will feel when they see this.

1. It sickens me. I can't imagine how they must feel with the coroner's report.

I can't imagine how they must feel listening to the 9-1-1 tape and hearing their son described by a murderer. I can't imagine how they must feel listening to Zimmerman apologists give him every excuse in the book for stalking and killing their son. I just can't imagine.

2. It would be nice if the news stuck to reporting the news

This has no bearing on the case and doesn't make the public any more knowledgeable than before. They just needed filler.

3. LOL Right. Anything that might appear favorable to Trayvon obviously has no bearing

on the case. Everything in Zimmerman's favor is rock solid and must be disproved.

After releasing a report that Trayvon had THC in his system, a fact that by the way, I would argue is inadmissible because the prejudicial impact far outwieghs any probative value it may hold, what makes you think that a video of Trayvon showing his demeanor and actions shortly before the murder, and yes I said murder, has no bearing on the case?

LOL You guys kill me.

7. Huh?

Video evidence that he bought candy and a drink at a 7-11 prior to being killed has no merit.

It doesn't add anything new to the storyline because we already knew all that.

Seeing the footage on a loop doesn't make us any better informed than before.

How is that an outrageous statement?

8. Wait one fucking minute.

"Video evidence that he bought candy and a drink at a 7-11 prior to being killed has no merit. "

Who the fuck said this is evidence? I certainly didn't in my original post.

"It doesn't add anything new to the storyline because we already knew all that. "

Who the fuck said it added anything new to the "storyline?"

"Seeing the footage on a loop doesn't make us any better informed than before."

Who the fuck said the purpose of this post was to make you "better informed?"

Try reading the original post, do your best to understand its intent, and maybe you can save your agenda for a thread where it's more appropriate.

12. My statement was that the news should stick to reporting the news

then I presented my reasoning as to why this isn't news when people became outraged by my statement.

That's all.

Reread the progression of this conversation.

13. LOL, Amerigo

marry me

[obamanut2012]

4. Like the trace amount of THC doesn't have any bearing, right?

5. My big problem has been

The press calling Zimmerman, a "watchman" or a "security guard" . The press has gone overboard excusing his atrocity by giving him a legitimate title. He was an unemployed paranoid personality disorder with some kind of authority complex. Again he is no more than a cowardly, crybaby, wanker, with a powerful Republican family.

9. Seems like about ONE THIRD of the media calls him a "SELF-APPOINTED Neighborhood Watch Captain."

That same one third regularly reports on the fact that the rules of teh ACTUAL Neighborhood Watch Association does not allow firearms.

So we have a self-appointed Neighborhood Watch Captain who...even if he was LEGITIMATELY "appointed"...is breaking one of the fundamental rules of his "position."

We have a guy with a history of domestic violence (plus assaulting a police officer) who was carrying a concealed weapon on his self-appointed rounds and had the misfortune of running into a kid who, while being murdered, fought back.

Let's see what the courts do with that.

6. If I were Martin's parents, I would sure as hell not watch TV news for some time to come.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

10. Remember when FR --

was claiming Martin had obviously stolen the iced tea and Skittles because there had not been a receipt found on his body (and, oh yeah, he was a young black male=thief)??? Fuckers.
