Calm down, you seem to be coming a little undone here. You keep missing the point. In the case of your OP, a black man shot and killed a white man, he's claiming the Stand Your Ground defense, he was still arrested and still has to stand trial.
Zimmerman shot and killed a black teenage boy, he claims the Stand Your Ground defense, he hasn't been charged with anything, won't have to stand trial (as of yet) and will never have to prove that he was defending his life.

Since you are on a rampage to expose race related issues where black on white crime is flourishing, maybe you should also spend some time discussing and posting the Deryl Dedmon story.
Remember? He is the white man recently convicted of the racially motivated murder of a 49 year old black man.
We can spend our time pulling up race related stories all day but I am sure folks would get tired of hearing it.
I think what people want to hear are stories where there is gross injustice. Systemic injustice or personal injustice. I think those are more worthwhile topics of discussion.

C**ns being edited out serves to make it less racial, not more. It's not edited, I'm fairly sure that Zimmerman never even said that word, I think he said a**holes. What people are more outraged about is the fact that the police handled Trayvon Martins case extremely poorly and in this one particular case it does seem like they were being callous and careless because it was just a young black male.

I don't know if this is relevant to the discussion or not...but...last night I was watching Nightline ABC and they falsely reported that the the shooter in the Zimmerman case was white, when he was in fact hispanic.

but how was this a racially motivated murder?
It sounded like a regular murder to me.
as is the other one
different 911 tapes where you can't make out the word coons and then the one I clearly heard the word coons
yet cnn airs a professionally altered tape where it was still inaudible
someone doctored a tape to get the racial edge going to keep beating the white thing to death

Tonight on AC360: Florida Shooter claims 'Stand Your Ground' defense
Just minutes after we pulled up for our interview with Kanina James, the tears began to flow. We found her sitting on the front porch, alone, and still in pain.

I guess this is not racist? Not even national news until now.

hispanic/jewish lets be honest
Are you truly trying to tell me blaming white people for a crime a hispanic/jewish man did isn't wrong?

unless you can show me a lack of reporting about this crime from 18 months ago, your argument is dead in the water. you don't know what was reported on this, you only saw that Anderson Cooper was doing a follow up on the story and how this little girl has handled the tragedy and, without looking at the date, you assume that there's no press coverage because a black man killed a white man.
guess what, there are plenty of murders each day. Black on white, white on black, white on white and black on black.
you could have picked a more recent story but, then, there'd have been press and, as previously mentioned, your argument would have been dead on arrival.

Wrong.
Zimmerman said "blankity C****". That expert is dead wrong.

One of the news channels here in florida had an audio expert listen to the tape,he came to the conclusion that Zimmerman is saying "f--kin PUNKS" Not coons like they're claiming.Either way,the guy should be locked up for shooting an unarmed kid.As for your op,that happened a long time ago.I don't see the connection you're trying to make.
