facts behind the shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin without
drawing any conclusions, was that a widely viewed photograph of Martin
appears to have been altered, somewhat.
Here is what appears to be the original via the Miami Herald.

In absence of facts, Trayvon Martin case becomes a war of images and reputations online Here is where the media circus takes a decidedly ugly turn.

Even as protests spread across the country and celebrities from Sinbad to M.C. Hammer weigh in on the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, supporters of shooter George Zimmerman -- including some conservative websites -- are weighing in with attempts to turn Martin's image from innocent kid to dangerous thug.

Most blacks were upset about the no-arrest being made,so was I...Now, from the articles and responses from the the communities, I'm not so sure,they're sure about this after seeing the real pictures...This has turned into a media circus, granted a kid is dead,and that's a terrible thing, but I think this will endanger the case,more than benefit it...The truth always seems to come out,when given time...

the more being released the squeaky clean kid don't look so clean, i also thought this was a injustice but maybe we need more facts

This whole thing is a joke. The media just wanted a white vs black war and thats exactly what they created. Look at the pictures of George Zimmerman, he is obviously not 100% white. Not that it should matter. They were even saying "Zimmerman, who is white but insists he is hispanic". Words cant express how much that pissed me off.

The media has already convicted George Zimmerman, and all the blind followers have too.

Im not saying hes innocent, and Im not saying hes guilty...I wasnt there, and neither was anybody else....But I can tell you one thing, he sure isnt going to get a fair trial.

White father/hispanic mother= white in Zimmermans case
Black father/white mother= Black in Obamas case

for some reason if your half black, your always black
If your half anything else with white, your white.
Not sure why that is
