2 I wouldn't put any faith in anything Tom Owen said.

3
They did what they set out to accomplish.

4 How do we go from "coons" to "goons" to "punks"?

5 Yeah,  Owen is trying to make himself credible. He's not.

6
Well, punk is STILL racist.  Cause I SAYS SO!!!

Why do you resist me much???

7 Yeah, the IdeaCatchers link doesn't work.

8 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable tyrant.

9 If you look at Trayvon's twitter pics and texts.....the word 'punk' comes to mind. ....He was working hard at trying to be one.

10 not the racial slur some people said they heard

Emphasis mine.

Note: "Some people."  Not "We," not even "Our anchor," or "Mr. So-and-so, our guest."  Nope: "Some people."  Because, you see, they're not biased.  They say so, so it must be true.  And if they're not biased, and he didn't say 'coons,' then they couldn't possibly have heard that word.

I f*cking hate the "passive voice," and I f*cking hate the MFM.

11 You would expect CNN to reflect the intelligence and moral character of its founder, and it does.

12

Coons might be a common racial slur in Florida, but here in Oklahoma I've never heard a person under the age of 50 use it.

 

SFGoth: DIAF. Some of us are okay with the idea of neighbors watching out for each other. It's too bad for the "punk" in question that he didn't consider the guy he was punching might have a gun.

So its your contention that its OK for Trayvon, to walk around a neighborhood he does NOT live in... but is not OK for Zimmerman to walk around in the neighborhood he DOES live in?

 

And I guess I should no longer keep an eye on my neighborhood, which has mostly 70-80 year old retired people in it... and call the cops if I see somthing weird???

 

and of course... self defense is totaly out of the question...

 

Its funny that it takes a Village to raise a child, so the States involvement in my Kids is OK... but it does NOT take a Village to defend a Village?

14 4 How do we go from "coons" to "goons" to "punks"?

Oh, so now you people need a flow chart?

17 Zimmerman may have been referring to a rock music genre that developed between 1974 and 1976 in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Rooted in garage rock and other forms of what is now known as protopunk music, punk rock bands eschewed perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock.

20 You know it takes a union to defend a village

21 It's too bad for the "punk" in question that he didn't consider the guy he was punching might have a gun.

On a similar note, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (the Dallas County mass transit system) has had a rash of shootings at rail/bus stations.  Their response was first to talk up their safety record, and then to ask legal CCW holders not to carry weapons.

Amazingly, that didn't cut down on the violence.

So now their big idea is that they'll put cameras up at all of their stations and having someone (in a central location) monitoring the cameras.

So they'll know right away when you've been shot, I guess.

22

Lawn. Off.

Fucking punks.

23 I can't believe no one has pointed out the fact that Zimmerman is 28 years-old - not 82. "F'n coons"? Really?!? He's as likely to have referred to the f'n punk as an "infernal scallywag"...

CNN's total audience is less than that of the Cartoon Network.  As a percentage of the registered electorate CNN's regular audience is around 0.29%.  Less than one-third of one single percent.  Ergo isn't this sort of like worrying about whether a hollow tree in a vacant forest makes any noise before it disintegrates? 

34 I think Rush was right today when he spoke about this--these are the things that the Media wants to be true, so they jump at every chance to "prove" them.  Because one of their core ideas is that all whites are racists and all blacks are saints. 

35

“Seasoned” NBC Producer Behind Edited Zimmerman Clip

 

 

Of course he was seasoned. You don't think a rookie has those kind of race baiting video editing skills. I thought I heard he was keeping his job too. Compare and contrast that with the ESPN editor and the Lin headline. No media double standard there. Bravo NBC.

36 Regardless of whether or not Zimmerman did something illegal, this had better cost CNN some cold, hard cash.  And lots of it!

Some blogger should put off of this (CNN's behavior) on a timeline demonstrating the malice/bias.  Save the page for future use.  Tag as 'example of media bias exhibit #567,326,523,487'

37 Apparently, CNN is trying to f*ck this chicken as much as possible.

38 #JusticeForLaytron

39 "but could reach no consensus on whether Zimmerman used a slur."

I've determined that CNN actually wrote 'coon-sensus' ... racists!

40 Nice to see Zimmerman has lawyered up. You should have a lawyer's card behind your CCW permit.

41 this whole shitshow is the epitome of the contemporary truism:
play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

unfortunately, the media too often remains immune from reaping what they sow, but the other actors in this comedy, from my ivory tower, appear to be on-schedule with the harvest.

my amazement never ceases with how the left believes attachment of the word "justice" to any terribly unsupportable effort somehow legitimizes their illegal crusades (e.g., "reproductive justice" = infanticide, "environmental justice" = scientific/economic dismemberment, "social justice" = selective bigotry, "hoodie justice" = lynch a hispanic with utter disregard for due process).

42 I remember listening to CNN's version like 5 times and hell if i could hear what they were suggesting I hear. Hell --conservative commenters were *hearing* it. Powerful stuff-the power of suggestion.

43 Is the cnn editor Maureen Dowd? didn't she also 'hear'something that wasn't there?

44 I was on the Daily Kos last night.  Just about every article and diary has something about how those rethugliKKKans feel about those "coons".  I must have seen that word used 30 times.

45

"We wouldn't even be having this conversation if Zim hadn't gone vigilante."

 

OR the non-retarded option:

 

We wouldn't be having this conversation if Travon hadn't gotten puffed-up, clocked Zimmerman in the nose, knocked him to the ground, and bounced his head off the pavement like a basketball.

46 Zimmerman should be suing EVERYONE.  Regardless of the outcome of this, he should have attorneys at the ready.

47 Best case scenario a lynch mob tries to exact revenge and he takes them out in self defense.

48 I notice we aren't getting like any, "we need a Reagan to save us" talk.  Which we were even up to a few months ago and as is usual in hard times.  My current theory is that post Reagan a lot of conservatives just kept waiting for the white knight with the sharp tongue and beaming smile to take on dc and the media etc. for us.

I have wondered if the 1-2 punch of, "well its Romney and he isn't going to do it" and then Breitbart leaving woke us all up to the realization noone is coming. Its just us. We have to take on the media.  We have to take on education.  We all have something we can do.  Editing a wiki. Saving a video. #StopTweeting etc..

I feel like this has been a mental/emotional and generally transformational hurdle we needed to cross that we all had put of for a very long time.  Breitbart made us not afraid to take them on.  He taught us we could win, losing was still better then not trying, and that they are old and soft and not used to being challenged.  For that I will honor his memory.

49 BTW, I heard a bit of Hannity today, and he was playing clips of the racists from the CBC on the House floor.  Truly, if they said this stuff anywhere else it should be actionable libel.

50 I'm pretty sure he's saying 'lollygagging whippersnapper'.

51 “Seasoned” NBC Producer Behind Edited Zimmerman Clip

I think that means he's (white) Hispanic. (Clearly they're referring to Adobo.  Although he could be cajun.  Definitely not Midwestern.)

52 I think he said skunks...maybe Zimmerman thought Martin was French?

53 When Owen, chairman emeritus of the American Board of Recorded Evidence, used a computer application to remove cell phone interference, the word became clearer, he said. After discussions with linguists, he said he became convinced that Zimmerman said "punks."


So according to the story in the link, "He provided CNN with a copy of the newly processed audio."....did CNN play that audio?  I can't find it at the link. 

54 Old Zim needs to get an advance on a book and move to Texas.

Indeed. If only Trayvon Martin's mother had done the sensible thing, and freed herself from the burdens of an unwanted pregnancy, this also never would have happened.

63

These duplicitous suckers of cock in the MFM should be ashamed of themselves (yeah, I know they're not).  I don't know if Zimmerman should be criminally charged or not; however, I'm perfectly content to let the local authorities do their job.  What I do know is that supposedly professional journalists were telling outright falsehoods in order to advance a particular agenda.

It's more than that.  The media has put Zimmermans life in mortal danger no matter how this turns out or where he eventually goes. 

78 MIAMI -- Isiah Thomas arrived at Florida International knowing that he was taking a risk. Three years later, the school didn't see enough reward. The Basketball Hall of Fame player was fired Friday by FIU, after his teams went 26-65 in his three seasons. His hiring came out of nowhere in 2009 -- "No one thought we could pull this off," FIU director of sports and entertainment Pete Garcia proudly said at the time -- and in the end, so did his firing. FIU announced the decision in a simple three-line statement. "We want to thank Isiah Thomas for his three years here at FIU," Garcia said. "However, we have decided to take the program in a different direction." Much like CNN, Isiah Thomas fucks up everything he touches

Never gets old.

 

80 Oh, and being a Liberal means never having to say you're sorry.

81 I don't know.  I've listened several times now and what I hear, is "I'm a white, male, bitter Republican who is clinging to my guns and Bible and I'm out looking for a minority scapegoat to empty a clip into and just forget about that Hispanic stuff."

82 Hate to break it to you rubes but "punks" is just another code word that screams racism.

83 Forget politics, we have to push back because, frankly, the MFM and the Proggers are fomenting race war among our fellow citizens.  That cannot be allowed.

84 And this story goes to something very fundamental about the US legal system that at the time was ver unique the concept of- Innocent until proven guilty--in a court of law. What is going on here is very antithetical to that.

85 I was having a discussion with a co-worker the other day and I mentioned how ashamed I am for our news media in this country for the way they've reported this case.

One, I shouldn't know who the fuck Trayvon Martin is as this type of incident happens EVERY DAY somewhere, and I don't need to know about it.

Two, we have TV's in my office with news running all day.  Just looking and seeing the pictures they posted, without doing ANY research on either man, gave me the impression that some mexican convict killed a 12 year old.

The ENTIRE news media fucked this story up SO BAD, I refuse to watch news channels anymore.  They don't report news.  They make (attempted) entertainment much like hollywood.

There is NO SUCH THING as a trusted news broadcast anymore.  Blogs and people in this country are the only ones you can trust nowadays.  Barely.

86 One of the side effects of this entire goat rodeo is that the "press" gave foul mouthed racists everywhere a new (to them) derogatory term that was already in the dustbin of history before they jerked it out again.

The term punk meant a prostitute in Elizabethan slang. A punkateero was a pimp. Maybe Zimmerman was speaking in Elizabethan cant.

87 I'm glad we finally cleared up what Zimmerman said before he chased Martin down and shot him.

88

Gee Ace, who's side are you on?  STHU.  Loose lips sink Soledad O'Brien, all that...

89 Damned teabagger lynch mobs.

Coons might be a common racial slur in Florida, but here in Oklahoma I've never heard a person under the age of 50 use it.

******

I'm also in OK and was thinking the same thing.  The media tried to attribute a 1970's/1980's racial slur to a guy that was born in the mid-80's.  That makes about as much sense as saying Zimmerman couldn't hear the police dispatcher because his 8-track was turned up too loud.

I lived in North Florida/South Georgia for several years in the '90s.  I've never heard anyone say it since the late '80s.

I sat down with her on the sofa and (as calmly as I could) tried to explain to her why the Republicans think it's okay to kill African Americans.

Since you were able to clear up the Audio, did he use the word ‘coons’?

Now, ZimmermanÂ’s attorney says the word was “punks”.  This has been confirmed by various experts along with Tom Owen.  Apparently, the symphony that is the human voice is a bit too complex for your trained ear.

Hey, Jordan- TX Legislature still in session?

Or, put another way: Your shinebox?  Go get it.

Hi Jordan. Is the Texas Legislature still in session?

130 9/11 call. Heh heh. Ya know what I mean.

131 In Oklahoma, we call our similar law the "Make My Day Law" which affords us the right to defend ourselves with deadly force, if we believe our life is in danger. .....I would really hate to lose this law....especially in these troubling times.

He said in the 911 call that he was chasing TM down to shoot him? 

FUCK!!!!!  Why are we wasting our time then!!!  Execute the bastard.  He's OBVIOUSLY guilty.

Sir, we're all dumber for having read your comment.  Please stop.

133 Doctor Fish Thanks fro the link--I have always remembered that photo and immediately recalled it when I read you comment. I was pretty sure it was about the same photo. That photo was famous--very powerful imagery. Emotional--that's one way the media manipulates opinion.

134 Jordan, you seem to have missed the part where he's stated he's lost Martin, and returning to his truck when Martin confronted him.

Or you're a f*cking douchebag.

Whichever.

GFY.

135 Pretty soon a Martin/Zimmerman situation will be even less likely in Oklahoma. We're about to pass Open Carry here. Martin would have been less likely to attack if he thought his victim might kill him.

136 And he's STILL the only punter that I've ever seen that didn't leave the ground when punting the ball While wearing a rolex...

Really? He said he was chasing Martin down and he was gonna bust a cap in him?

All I heard was that he was following him to see where he went and lost sight of him

No!!!  You're wrong!  Jordan knows the FACTS so we should all just stop talking about it and protest for Zimmerman's execution!!!  He's a racist, premeditated MURDERER!!!!

146

Certainly sounded like "punks" the first time I heard it, but I was willing to concede that our brains might just impose a word we're predisposed to hearing. 

 

Fits with the assumption that Zimmerman wasn't just following Martin so he could give him a flower, but if anyone is looking for any meaning beyond that, they're not being responsible. 

147

134.....I don't think it's going to happen. Not here, anyway. And certainly not now. The horse is already out of the barn. Thank God.

 

Wasn't our 'make my day law' passed back in the 80's, Soona? ....Seems like we were one of the first states to do it.

 

There's no way to know how many countless lives have been saved by having this law in place. ....They don't keep statistics on such things. Especially when pulling out a firearm makes the assailant back down and run, and no one even is hurt.

148 The headline I want to see is Zimmermann lawyer brings suit against CNN, Jessie Jackson, and yada yada yada

149 I heard "boy."

150 I understand more and more why we can't let these false narratives stand unchallenged.

My neighbor sent me the article by Shelby Steels  titled "The exploitation of Trayvon Martin"

The headline reads
"
The absurdity of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton is that they want to make a movement out of an anomaly. Black teenagers today are afraid of other black teenagers, not whites."
At first, it sounded OK. And than I got to the part that read

"

Two tragedies are apparent in the Trayvon Martin case. The first is obvious: A teenager—unarmed and committing no crime—was shot dead. Dressed in a "hoodie," a costume of menace, he crossed paths with a man on the hunt for precisely such clichés of menace. Added to this—and here is the rub—was the fact of his dark skin.

Maybe it was more the hood than the dark skin, but who could argue that the skin did not enhance the menace of the hood at night and in the eyes of someone watching for crime. (Fifty-five percent of all federal prisoners are black though we are only 12% of the population.) Would Trayvon be alive today had he been walking home—Skittles and ice tea in hand—wearing a polo shirt with an alligator logo? Possibly. And does this make the ugly point that dark skin late at night needs to have its menace softened by some show of Waspy Americana? Possibly."

I honestly couldn't get this neighbor to understand that half of what was in that last part was simple unproven conjecture on the Authors part.

Her response was that I was just looking for little details to derail the discussion.  I told her that I didn't consider the statement that Zimmerman was on the hunt for a black kid wearing a Hoodie to take down, and found it in Saint Trayvon was a small and trivial detail.

You think that look was bad?  Wait until after she's been anally raped and had her face curb-stomped at her first OWS rally.  THAT is going to be a bad look my friend. 

153 LOS ANGELES — Current TV has fired back at Keith Olbermann by countersuing its former host and asking a judge to rule he is not entitled to any more money from the network. The lawsuit was filed Friday in Los Angeles, a day after Olbermann sued his former employer seeking more than $50 million in damages. The complaint rejects Olbermann's claims that the network engaged in shoddy production and states it paid the "Countdown" host the most he received in his career. The filing accuses Olbermann of "an utter disregard" for his contract. The suit claims OIbermann's claims have damaged Current TV and it will lose money as a result of having to firing him. The network is seeking unspecified damages. A phone message for Olbermann's attorney Patricia Glaser was not immediately returned. This is one time I am rooting for the lawyers to run the bill up

154 "He said in the 911 call that he was chasing TM down to shoot him?" I don't think anyone, including Zimmerman, has denied that he was following Martin or that he shot Martin. We'll probably never know what exactly happened between.

155 The guys at the Gay Pride Parades have some decorum.

166 150: Stand Your Ground is fairly new. We don't have Castle Doctrine, but SYG is actually better IMO. The Open Carry law as it's currently written will only cover people licensed to conceal carry. It protects them from being charged if they print or accidentally expose their weapons.

Posted by: jimmahs phone at April 06, 2012 04:58 PM (N9a2w)

i heard He shot the attacker on Gramma's porch, right over there---> P

170 wheatie: I looked it up. SYG was passed in 2006.

171 Also heard Zimmerman was white, wait no white hispanic, gun clinger republican, wait no Dem   hispanic touch of white, that hates cops or doesn't but maybe Hates blacks or doesn't
one thing is for certain, he is in trouble! and a racist or not.

172 Has it ever been reported exactly where Trayvon supposedly went to get his "skittles and ice tea"?

173 Tami, i don't believe that video is out yet. i would think the store would have had one .

174 Tami: Early on I saw some kind of video claiming he bought them at the local 7/11 or similar convenience store.

175 I'm just curious what percentage of people who think zimmerman is guilty as hell also believe that OJ is innocent...Isn't there a picture of ronald goldman in a grey hoodie? I wonder what soledad obriens or al sharptons reaction would be if you asked each of them wether OJ was guilty. They would probably say well he was found innocent in a court of law....exactly.....and what was the jury verdict for zimmerman..... oh wait..... That's different....

176

173 wheatie: I looked it up. SYG was passed in 2006.

 

Right. ....But the 'make my day law' has been around longer. That's the one where you can shoot someone that comes on your property and is threatening you in some way. ....I think it was passed back in '88 or '89.

177 Every media toad and pinhead blogger is posting minute-by-minute accounts of the confrontation as if they were eyewitnesses, but none of them know any more than I do. Again, I don't think we'll ever know what happened between the time Zimmerman started chasing Martin and the shooting. These competing political narratives are too speculative for me to believe.

178 Posted by: digitalbrownshirt at April 06, 2012 05:06 PM (eHwT1)




This is a google map of the address where the incident took place.  I cannot find a store nearby where he would have gone.  You can zoom in and see the names of businesses in the area.  The closest thing I can find is a Sam's Club almost a mile away.

Tami.....I remember reading more than once, that the market where Trayvon was thought to have gone...was about .7 miles away.

 

But I can't swear that it is true....it's just what has been written.

183 Why did Zimmerman have to get out of his car?  Didn't he have a high-powered digital camera that would allow him to get live video of Martin and even zoom in on him?  He didn't?  If he had, maybe he wouldn't have had to do what "we don't need you to do [that]".

Say hello to my lil' friend! style

188 "Yet not so hard that you won't show up hear trying to tell others what to believe, and that GZ 'chased' Martin down? As trolls go, you're just aboutthe weeniest..." Following to me sounds like walking. Of course, you can follow someone who is running away, but 'chase' or 'pursue' would be better diction because they're more descriptive. Both of those words imply some level of haste or urgency that 'follow' lacks. Still, it's only semantics: Travyon was running. Zimmerman was following. At some point they met and Zimmerman shot him. That's about all we know.

189 Why did Zimmerman have to get out of his car? Didn't he have a high-powered digital camera that would allow him to get live video of Martin and even zoom in on him? He didn't? If he had, maybe he wouldn't have had to do what "we don't need you to do [that]".

Martin went behind the houses. Unless you've got a camera that can see through houses, you'd have to go on foot to keep him in sight.

190 Also, please allow me to revise and extent my comment at 192:

Douchebag.

191 The walk back continues. 

Pretty soon Nancy Grace will admit that no one got raped in the Duke case.

Nah, will never happen.

192 SFGoth: "...He didn't? If he had, maybe he wouldn't have had to do what 'we don't need you to do [that]'."

Why I didn't even think of that. Of the infinite what-ifs possible, that one never registered. I've done all I can. I'm spent.

193 Somebody quoted this ex Chief Bill Lee interview a couple of days ago:

"We can't discount (Zimmerman's) story, based on — not evidence we put anywhere, not testimony we put in anybody's mouth — but testimony of witnesses who were there, that called, and the physical evidence that's there. You can't refute it," Lee said in the early interview. "The conclusions that are drawn from the basic information is that George Zimmerman shoots a 17-year-old kid with a bag of Skittles and an Arizona iced tea can. And you know, those are facts: George Zimmerman did shoot Trayvon Martin, and Trayvon Martin did have a bag of Skittles and an Arizona iced tea.

"The fact that he had a bag of Skittles and an Arizona iced tea does not have anything to do with the facts of why George Zimmerman thought he needed to use deadly force."
