There's way too much focus on Zimmerman

37. I absolutely agree

The media is screaming, "George Zimmerman!" when it should be screaming "Institutionalized Racism in Sanford!".

Their focus should not be on vilifying George Zimmerman but on the police conduct in this case. And the murkiness of the law itself. They should be getting legislators to explain the law and how it applies to different scenarios. Get it down on the record. Get the cops down on the record about their interpretation of the law.

Nail down witness accounts and their interactions with the police. Get it on the record. The point being to show discrepancies between the official version and what really happened that night.

The big story is how the violent death of a teenage boy was handled. That no charges were brought and little investigation done. And no one noticed for three weeks.

We know Zimmerman will eventually be charged so stop hounding him and inciting some type of vigilante mob mentality. Zimmerman will have to tell his side of the story in court. The real questions about how the police conducted themselves and why they didn't take this death seriously are the important ones. Two days without trying to identify the victim is a disgrace! The media should do some real work and actually get the story from officials as to why they dropped the ball. Then things might actually change. If the media's end-game is Zimmerman's arrest then nothing changes. And from what I hear and the way the sound bytes are edited that is their "safe" end-game. Cry for Zimmerman's arrest and then drop the story into the memory hole.
