When "Neighborhood Watch" Gets Out of Hand

Some "inconvenient truths" are starting to surface regarding the fact that the funeral director reported no evidence that Trayvon was in a fight (shouldn't the forensics people have a record of that?), and there is a police video of Zimmerman showing no visible wounds or blood on him after the alleged fight (again, didn't the Sanford PD examine and/or photograph him?).

This is starting to look like a cover up, and I'm thinking the original State Attorney is going to get taken down on this.

Robert Zimmerman, George Zimmerman's father, is a retired Orange County judge; probably part of the "good ol' boy" network that's all too prevalent here.

Actually, Zimmerman's father turns out is a magistrate, not a judge - less powerful.

It's not looking good for a police department with a history of racial abuse. The current chief was brought in to fix their previous problems. It's been said in the news it's still a Klan town.

I wish an arrest would be made, as then a judge can put a gag order on this entire public dog and pony show. But alot of that is Zimmerman's side quite willing to get venue changed, I'd guess. All the leaks from the police ....

Bob Cesca wrote a good column today about the right wing bullying scream machine going after a murdered black child, but the left is rabid, too. Yet the only way this case got attention is because the principles went national with their claim of police ignoring the murder of this kid, contacted their congresswoman, who requested and got the feds involved via hate crime investigation.

Who saw this coming..

Profit-seekers gorge on teen's case.

Websites are hawking key chains bearing Trayvon Martin's likeness. His parents have bought two trademarks, saying they hope to raise money to help other families. Trayvon clothes, bumper stickers, buttons and posters are up for grabs on eBay.

Karriem Muhammad, who runs Young Nation Apparel in St. Louis, is selling a hoodie for $35 with the words "Please Don't Shoot Me I Only Have Skittles And A Drink!!!" Martin was returning from a store with the candy and iced tea when he was confronted by Zimmerman
