(57,596 posts)Troll memes (be aware also of any news story that has them):
"There has been speculation on BOTH sides"
"The story may not be how it was first reported"
"Zimmerman had a 'broken nose' and 'smashed head'"
"Zimmerman was blindsided as he returned to his truck" (or any variation of the 'Martin attacks' meme, i.e., Martin tried to grab the gun, etc.)
"Zimmerman has gotten death threats/is depressed-sad-remorseful/has cried for days/can't come forward and tell his story because of the 'bounty'"
"Race had nothing to do with the shooting because Zimmerman is latino and had black friends, relatives, etc."
"There isn't enough evidence to charge Zimmerman"
"The media has been led by emotion/too sensationalist/run with too much hearsay/incited mob mentality/worsened racial harmony and the story will change when all the facts (bullshit, yet-to-be-made-up-memes) come to light"
"Zimmerman made the neighborhood safer, and was only on the lookout because of a rash of burglaries done by person or persons unknown who fit Martin's description"
"There's nothing wrong with following someone 'suspicious looking'"
"The media is being unfair and trying to sway opinion by showing the "younger" Martin photo and the Zimmerman mugshot"
"Certain people are using this case to meet a political end"
And anyone trying to make this "just" an issue or arguement over who attacked who first while disregarding everything that led up to that moment, as it the entire case hinges on that determination...
Feel free to add some more...They're getting churned out pretty regularly now...
