FLORIDA, July 1, 2013 — On a cold late February evening in 2012, unarmed seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin was fatally shot by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. Zimmerman claims he killed Martin in self-defense.
Since then, Martin’s history of truancy, firearms-related issues, and marijuana use, among other things, has come to light.
After a special prosecutor was commissioned, Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder and is currently standing trial.
Evidence indicates that Zimmerman suffered head injuries the night Martin died, though exactly how and why remains a mystery. What can be certain, however, is that the shooting’s aftermath has been highly polarizing.
It has also drawn considerable attention to the oft-overlooked central Florida port city of Sanford, where the shooting took place.
On Thursday, The Conservative Tree House, a popular right-leaning blog which features very detailed coverage of the Zimmerman trial, released several documents from a Freedom of Information Act request.
Doesn't matter if GZ is guilty or innocent. The media and the blacks will have their pound of flesh, one way or another. Why take the chance of getting the blacks all riled up and tearing up a few blocks or convicting one man to prison?
