Want to see what real bias (prejudice) really looks like

If you want to see what bias and prejudice truly looks like in America, look no further than the mainstream media coverage of the Sanford Florida incident involving Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman aside from being demonized and marginalized on almost every level prior to his arrest, is being saddled with what is fast becoming realized as the purposeful media brand of a murderer.

The parents of Trayvon and those in so called civil rights leadership roles and those in the militant segments of our society have all branded George Martin a killer or a murderer. It's not unusual or surprising from those corners of the community, the Black Panthers in particular, but when the bias and prejudice is so blatant by the media, the effect is inescapable and chilling.

George Zimmerman is no longer a person. George Zimmerman is no longer a human being. In the eyes of the media and others, George Zimmerman is to now be known and identified as either Trayvon's killer or the killer of Trayvon Martin. The constitutional provisions of presumed innocence be damned. We will have none of that in this media orchestrated and media fed frenzy to publicly lynch this man and to seek a predetermined conclusion of the facts.

Forget about prefacing everything with the word alleged when it comes to George Zimmerman, as these media hypesters and their paid 'contributors and analyst' are not the least bit interested in the bill of rights. George Zimmerman is a killer after all and a killer is what he will be called in the media and that is what he will be known by. I sincerely hope that the American people capable of cognitive reasoning and those not so thoroughly dumbed down by media inundation and lies can see how this man is being purposely demonized and publicly lynched by a complicit media and those whose only understanding of the word justice involves a lynch mob.

Trayvon Martin's killer showed signs of injury: neighbors

(Reuters) - Neighbors of George Zimmerman say he had bandages on his nose and head the day after he shot dead Trayvon Martin, supporting statements by the neighborhood watch volunteer that he was beaten in a confrontation with the black Florida teenager.
The extent of Zimmerman's injuries could be crucial to his legal defense under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" self-defense law, which allows the use of deadly force when someone has the reasonable belief he could face death or great bodily harm.
Police said Zimmerman, who has been charged with second-degree murder in the racially charged case, was bleeding from the nose and the back of his head and was treated by medics before being taken to Sanford police station after the February 26 shooting.
But public doubts were later raised by the release of a grainy surveillance video from the police station in which no injuries were readily visible.
Zimmerman later sought medical treatment for injuries including a broken nose, his former lawyers have said.
