Some interesting speculation on the Nameless Scapegoat (N.S.) whom NBC is blaming for that editing "error" that had George Zimmerman telling 911:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.


NBC sued over Trayvon tape


Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman is suing NBC over the network’s botched editing of his 911 tape

NBC launched an internal probe after producers misleadingly edited the 911 call placed by Zimmerman just before he shot the unarmed Florida teenager. The edit made it appear that Zimmerman had immediately told police that Martin was black, when the full tape reveals he only did so when responding to a question posed by a dispatcher.

Combined sections from two different parts of the tape gave the false impression that Zimmerman had said: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good or on drugs or something. He’s got his hand in his waistband. And he’s a black male.”

NBC News brass reportedly interviewed more than half a dozen staffers during its internal investigation, and at least three employees were let go.

Newly Released Documents Detail the Department of Justice’s Role in Organizing Trayvon Martin Protests

Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained documents proving that the Department of Justice played a major behind-the-scenes role in organizing protests against George Zimmerman. Zimmerman is on trial for second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in February 2012.

Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the DOJ on April 24, 2012. According to the documents JW received, a little-known DOJ unit called the Community Relations Service deployed to Sanford, FL, to organize and manage rallies against Zimmerman.

If you go following someone, with gun on your belt and know legally you can use it and claim self defence then you need to be locked up.

This is the sickest aspect about US gun laws.

I'm with you - we shouldn't allow police officers to carry guns - nor soldiers.

In fact until the last few decades, British police did NOT carry guns.

A little earlier, Australian police did not carry guns either.

Carrying guns by police has encouraged criminals to do the same.

That's true - just like all those commercials about how bad smoking is and how dangerous drunk driving is has stopped both completely.

Wait a minute ...

NBC's Defense: "But mom, everybody else is doing it." "It's George's fault."

Legal Team Sets Sights On NBC...

NBC Universal Media responded to the Zimmerman complaint by noting that other media outlets played up the racial angle of Zimmerman’s deadly encounter with Trayvon Martin.

The company also noted the pivotal nature of the second-degree murder case:
f Zimmerman is convicted, that fact alone will constitute substantial evidence that the destruction of his reputation is the result of his own criminal conduct, and not of the broadcasts at issue which, like countless other news reports disseminated by media entities throughout the country, reported on the underlying events.”

That formulation is now null.


And now we find that the DOJ's CRS division has violated another American's civil rights by sponsoring anti-Zimmerman rallies.
But who will you complain to? The DOJ?
Looks like they will have to investigate themselves again. <_< :lol:
