Martin in reverse?? What kind of brainless idiot would even believe it the same thing in reverse? These kids killed for fun to see someone die, not in ANY perceived self defense.
“This is nowhere near self-defense…this was cold-blooded, first-degree, recreational, for the fun of it because they were bored, murder,” Limbaugh said.
Well, DUH. That's why they were charged with murder. And they ADMITTED to doing it because they wanted to see someone die, and for the fun of it. His argument collapses because, wait for it—they already admitted as much.
These three youths who killed this young athlete HAVE been charged and WILL (likely) pay the price, so what's the deal? Leave it to Limbaugh to make an issue where there is none, and where there is no relevance to the Martin case. But hey, that's what he does. He wants his rating, so he'll make it an issue others won't, and if others do he'll take the opposing side.
Are you implying that the media *should* give relentless sickening coverage to this crime, simply because they did with the Zimmerman/Martin crime, which is completely unrelated? I see they media beating crimes into the ground far too often (the most recent with the GA school shooting: the local media has been running it into the ground so much that it's sickening and unnerving). And I agree that the media pay undeserving and sickeningly continuous coverage to a large number or crimes. But what does the one have to do with the other?
I guess according to RL the media should blow every single white/black, black/white crime into a frenzy simply because they paid so much attention the the aforementioned (Martin) case. And that it's NOT anywhere NEAR "Martin in reverse," well:
I really don't see the point in this thread.

You and others don't seem to get it: Obama spoke out about the unsettling lack of investigation in the Trayvon Martin case because the local police and DA weren't investigating Zimmerman and had essentially dropped the case. In other words he spoke out because a miscarriage of justice was occurring: an unarmed black teenager had been shot to death by some cop wannabe with a history of run-ins with the law, and the creep wasn't even being investigated for a possible crime.

I don't care about the political issues concerning this crime. If they are found guilty of murder. I want to see them dance at the end of a rope. All three and in public. Our justice system is screwed up. It doesn't really punish criminals anymore.
2 dark, one light ... but just as black as Obama.

Peck seriously? You fail to see how they are related?
The ONLY difference is one white guy was involved with two Afro-Americans in the ruthless killing, so the Afro-American community get's a free "Race Card" on this.
THIS is not about race, it's about kids killing for fun. Which is wrong.
If 3 white kids killed an Afro American for FUN? How about 2 Whites and one black?
We'd have more trouble on your hands then you could shake a stick at.
THAT'S the point.
The White Man is now an expendible Race.
Tell your white children that they will perish...

They knew they didn't have a case. There was an investigation that lead to a person who defended himself well within Florida laws, and because of this he wasn't arrested, and correctly so, once again. When the media whipped it into a white on black thing and the President whipped it into a gun thing they were forced to arrest Zimmerman purely on political reasons.
The farce of the trial with nothing on the prosecution side showing anything, even after the massive involvement of the media, it still went to a full "not guilty" verdict. The DA was right to drop the case in the very beginning and knew it the whole time with their extremely weak prosecution.
