Have you been following the George Zimmerman trial?
Most recent development has actually come from a blunder made by CNN while broadcasting courtroom footage. On one of the court documents they were showing, it included Mr. Zimmerman's home address, phone number, and even Social Security number! CNN neglected to redact the sensitive info via the normall blurring/pixelating/blackboxing that they would normally display over the sensitive parts of the document. Whether this was by accident, or whether it was because CNN has a bias against Mr. Zimmerman, it was a bad thing to do, and may result in a lawsuit against CNN.
What is your opinion on this aspect (and all other aspects) of the Zimmerman trial, and incident that led to the trial?
Do you think the killing of Trayvon Martin was self defense, or a racially motivated murder?
Re: Have you been following the George Zimmerman trial?
It was a racially motivated self defense.
Though there are plenty of young black men who were killed by other black men this case gets special attention, because a light skinned Latino did it. Of course the media puts emphasis on "white", because they want to frame it as a "racist white man lynches innocent black boy--look how racist white men are" story. In reality, this is an anecdote with little statistical significance.
There are a lot of insecure black people who will use cases like this to rationalize all their failures in life. This is a win-win situation for them. Either Zimmerman is found guilty and they get the blood they wanted, or Zimmerman is acquitted and they have another scapegoat. They need this. It'd be racist to take it away from them.

It was self-defence. Racism is the new Communism. Both are meaningless Bogeyman Words used to taint somebody's Name and Reputation and ruin their Lives. They did it in the Fifties with Communism, and they are doing it now with Racism. But, he will be convicted because the "Victim" is African-American, and the "racist" Charge has already been painted on Zimmerman, and it is like punching the Tar Baby trying to eliminate the Charge of Racism. Zimmerman was a part of the Neighbourhood Watch and had notified the others in the Neighbourhood Watch he had a legal Permit and was carrying a Gun in his Tours of the Neighbourhood.
My Question is why was Martin trespassing. Was it a gated Community?

What do you think about CNN releasing Mr. Zimmerman's dox on TV?

C.N.N. needs to be fined by the F.C.C. and sued by Zimmerman. And the Judge needs to throw C.N.N. Reporters and Cameramen out of the Courtroom.
