I just read an article about how the media has completely mishandled both sides of story. So much misinformation, selective editing, and overall sensationalism.
An article the Tampa Bay Times did on the Stand Your Ground law that I thought was interesting. It talks about a couple other cases where SYG was used.

Abc news 'redigitized' whatever the fuck that means and in one frame you can see a welt.
fucking lol. Media has been disgusting
Did you see the video? they literally broke the image and redigitized it so in a way yeah they kinda did photoshop it.
You realize you don't have to stick up for him cause his father identifies him with Hispanics right?
he's mixed. mom's hispanic, dad is white. derp. his dad is calling him hispanic to downplay the racial aspect. it isn't really working that well though.
Are you saying that he isn't hispanic?
I'm just saying, one drop rule. It isn't like his dad is lying.
White people only like Hispanics for our food, labor, and big ass women. Hispanics and blacks equally hate whites and each other.
Yeah but saying he's Hispanic doesn't mean shit when it comes to downplaying racism. I mean, granted, I know a lot of people think that only white people can be racist, but that certainly isn't the case. If they're trying to pull the "He's Hispanic, how can he be racist?" card then they're fucking retarded.
Watching that video made me lol. ABC was given exclusive, high-resolution footage and no one else was? Yea, that doesn't reek of bullshit to me.
This is especially true when you consider that he claimed to have a broken nose but his shirt isn't stained with any blood, nor is his jacket. SOP for the medical staff is to address the wound, not clean his clothes for him. This was what, 30 minutes after he shot Martin? Obviously this is just more attempts on behalf of the media to continue to cast doubt until the charges are dropped or the American Sheep move on to the next big story.
I agree but his father actually said something to that effect in the very beginning. It was something like "this has nothing to do with racism, George is from a hispanic background and has many black friends" etc
Nah Leroy, I know the one drop rule well because it applies to me too. My mom's mixed and my dad is straight off the boat hispanic. I get that part. I'm saying it is naive to imply that people don't try to use that shit to their advantage sometimes. His dad's not lying, but see above. He's using it as a shield.
^ Isn't that why the kid was wearing his hoodie up?
"IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW~!! A BLACK KID WAS WEARING A HOODIE WITH THE HOOD UP BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING! OOOOOH, I'M SORRY OFFICERS. NOTHING TO SEE HERE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD NOW; IT WAS A FALSE ALARM!"
