The legacy of Zimmerman/ Martin (Updated)

Man, 78, recounts assault by 6 youths in E. Toledo

"The boy, again, allegedly told his friends to "take him down.""

"At one point, the victim recalled being lifted from the ground so one of the boys could "drop-kick" him in the chest.

"One boy, he said, put his foot on the back of the victim's neck, with another shouting, "Kill him."

"While Mr. Watts was down the boys kicked him, over and over, shouting, "[Get] that white [man]. This is for Trayvon ... Trayvon lives, white [man]. Kill that white [man]," according to a police report.

"The boys fled when a man shouted at them, according to the report."

NBC Stonewalls On ‘Zimmerman Edit’ Probe    "Given how central these 911 calls are to this story, it is impossible to believe that these staffers "who have been working on the Trayvon Martin story for several weeks," would not have known the 911 transcript word for word.

"Which puts the lie to their claim that nobody at NBC noticed the "mistake" at the time it aired.

"No, they are only "in shock" that anyone noticed and called them on it. That isn’t supposed to happen. Which is why they are so desperate to get back their monopoly on the news.


Update: Breaking: NBC Fires Producer Who Created False Zimmerman Audio

While NBC has taken a good first step toward rectifying the situation, until the network releases the name of the person and explains its theory that the edit was not deliberate, its credibility is still under question.

From Weasel Zippers: Obama Campaign Scrubs Website of Alarmist Videos Targeting Black Voters…

"The Daily Caller has a compilation of the vids that were removed including the one that invokes Saint Trayvon."

In one video that the campaign yanked from the “African-Americans for Obama” section of its website Tuesday, actress Tatyana Ali seemed to predict that a second Obama term would bring a host of benefits to African-Americans once the president no longer had to concern himself with campaigning.“What really excites me … is that a U.S. president has only two terms,” a laughing Ali said in the footage that the Obama campaign scrubbed from its website Tuesday. “In the second term, ‘it’s on,’ because we don’t have to worry about re-election.”
