Why would you say that?

The alleged criminal in this case was arrested. Assuming it's proven he did it, I would anticipate him going to jail for a long long time. In other words, the system is working the way it's supposed to.

That's not the case with George Zimmerman. He's not been arrested because the Right wing media is too busy trying to make Martin look like a criminal.

That is horse**** it got into the national spotlight when your leaders the Revs (and I use the term loosely, neither has a church) stuck their nose in.......

Uh no, in BOTH cases the system is working perfectly. A criminal was arrested for raping and killing a woman.

A man walks free because of the law of self defense has taken over and there is insufficient evidence he is guilty, thus he walks.

I'd call that the system working beautifully in BOTH cases. Just because you FEEL that self defense isn't real, it is. Just because you WANT the hispanic dude arrested for defending himself doesn't mean it should happen.

This post proves your bias.

The point remains. You're comparing apples and oranges here. The two situations are dissimilar for the reason I mentioned.

Does anyone remember the Duke Univ. case a couple of years ago where some white students supposedly raped a black prostitude and how Jackson and Sharpton jumped all over it and stirred the racial pot and wanted to crucify the white Duke students involved and then we found out it was all a sham and the white kids were innocent..........Was there ever and apolgy from Jackson and Sharpton? I think not........Does anyone see any similarites in this case?

You certainly live up to your "very conservative" label. The revising of history is right in line.

Because although both are tragic, they are local stories, not stories worthy (in my opinion) of national media attention.

That's not the case with George Zimmerman. He's not been arrested because the Right wing media is too busy trying to make Martin look like a criminal.

You are delusional... All the "right wing media" has done, is point out how the liberal media and left wing kooks nation wide have, vilified the shooter, portrayed him as a racist, and tried to portrait the victim as an innocent teen who was stalked and murdered because he's black. This is stirring up unnecessary racial tensions when there has been no trial, and all the evidence hasn't been made public.

The "right wing media" should be applauded for pointing out the baseless and unjustified ****-storm the left is stirring up.

The left wants to forget about that and pretend it never happened... That's why nobody has bothered to respond.

Pfffet I don't exactly see resounding support for Al Sharpton. BTW look up Twana Brawley. Now there is a doozey of a story.

Grim, your bias clouds your eyes. You see what you want to see. If there was merit in your view, you would address the actual points made.
