“The mainstream media are not terribly interested in this story”

April 22, 2012 | Filed under Race,Trayvon Martin | Posted by Rick Rice

That and more from Robert Avrech who notices the lack of interest in an event that can’t be used to foist an agenda on the gullible and the emotive:

That’s because their outrage is only a tactic in the liberal war against Conservatives. Liberals are not really upset about Trayvon Martin’s death. They only view Martin as a prop in their kabuki theater. To be moral one must have consistent values. But liberals have selective values.

George Zimmerman is a “white Hispanic” who carried a gun and shot a black man. Thus he is an evil racist. If the liberal media even bothered to cover this story, which they won’t, they would designate Alton Hayes as a “frustrated youth who has no other means of expressing his legitimate grievances in a racist society.” It’s the same progressive thinking that justifies homicide bombings against Jews in Israel.

By the way, if George Zimmerman is a white Hispanic doesn’t it follow that Barack Obama is a white black man?

Mr. Avrech is referencing this story… a story that means next to nothing to those so moved by the Martin/Zimmerman tragedy:

Alton L. Hayes III, a west suburban man charged with a hate crime, told police he was so upset about the Trayvon Martin case in Florida that he beat up a white man early Tuesday.

Hayes and a 15-year-old Chicago boy walked up behind the 19-year-old man victim and pinned his arms to his side, police said. Hayes, 18, then picked up a large tree branch, pointed it at the man and said, “Empty your pockets, white boy.”
