KSDK’s title and description:
“RAW VIDEO: Zimmerman Appears in Court
“George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, appears in court after being charged with second degree murder.”
Since Martin was black, and KSDK supports the hoax, its video editor emphasizes both his blackness and his having been allegedly “unarmed.” I say allegedly, because his hands counted as deadly weapons during the incident. Martin was smashing Zimmerman’s head into the pavement with his bare hands which, had Zimmerman not shot him, would certainly have severely wounded, and posed a strong likelihood of killing Zimmerman.
People have to realize that you can tell where someone stands on a subject by how they word things. And by constantly wording things a certain way, it sinks into the public consciousness and becomes 'the truth', regardless of the facts.
ReplyDeleteOn the news, 'they always say 'black' and always say 'unarmed'. The result-you assume this is a race crime since the race is being mentioned, and you assume Trayvon was just an innocent kid(unarmed=defenseless). The next time you watch the news, pay attention to how they word things and you will see how public perception is manipulated. It doesn't just happen with this case, but just about everything that is reported.
Oh, and aside of the fact that Trayvon was a 6'3" football player and Zimmerman was smaller and out of shape,how does Zimmerman know Trayvon was unarmed?
