Here's an interesting article: 

"The media is getting the Trayvon Martin story wrong," Michael Brendan Dougherty wrote on BusinessInsider.com, comparing it to the 2006 Duke lacrosse case, in which three members of the lacrosse team were accused of rape, resulting in a media firestorm and public outcry. The accuser's case unraveled, and the charges were eventually dropped.

I hadn't thought about the Duke case. But the Trayvon Martin case definitely reminds me of last year's Strauss-Kahn case. Part of why I'm giving you such a hard time, in fact, is that your recent posts are yet another example of a PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR you have, one that I've pointed out to you before.

Do you remember writing the following? 

The judge held this scumbag without bail! clo 

You wrote that on May 16, 2011, about Dominicque Strauss-Kahn, a scant three days after THAT story broke. Not much was known yet. The public certainly hadn't heard Strauss-Kahn's side of things. And the police were still investigating. Yet you'd already branded him a scumbag. Why would you do that?? Because you presumed guilt: White man. Black woman. He's obviously a scumbag.

That's how you apparently operate.

You're biased, almost always against "white" (ha!) males and for your political slant du jour. That's your problem. You do this over and over, and it makes it very difficult for those of us who know you... who even LIKE you... to take your opinions seriously. Over time, after watching you overreact - and INCORRECTLY, no less - to a few things like Trayvon Martin or Dominque Strauss-Kahn, it plays hell with your credibility.

I just wonder . . . WHY?

re: "Trayvon has NO criminal record, Zimmerman does."

Ah, the advantages of youth. Kids start with a clean slate, and then either mess it up or keep it clean. It all comes down to the content of one's character, doesn't it?

I'm not sure why you're so infatuated with this youngster, "tall drink of water" or not. The more I learn about the suspended, drugged-up little thug, the less there is to like. 

"With a single punch," the Orlando Sentinel, citing police sources, reported Monday, "Trayvon Martin decked the Neighborhood Watch volunteer ... climbed on top of [him] and slammed his head into the sidewalk several times, leaving him bloody and battered."

"That is the account Zimmerman gave police," the paper said, "and much of it has been corroborated by witnesses, authorities say."

As Dan Linehan, a blogger at Wagist.com, pointed out, correspondence with Martin on Twitter before he died alludes to an incident with a bus driver. "Yu ain't tell me you swung on a bus driver," Martin's cousin wrote to him on Feb. 21.
