(37,573 posts)but the actual story made it sound current, unless you either see the date in the link or read the date on the story. The second post in the thread said "well what has the Zimmerman trial taught him?" so other people were seeing it as current as well.
And the first story made it sound like the victim would live, when in fact he died six weeks later.
But I should not expect you to take my word for it http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3322630
But I expect to see this trend. For example, in the year 1 BT (or 2011 being one year Before Trayvon) there were 193 black people killed by white people (and 448 white people killed by black people and 2,447 black people killed by other black people, but pay no attention to THOSE facts behind the curtain.) http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6
193 is 3.7 per week and that was Before Trayvon remember. So now in the year 1 AT each one of the 3.7 murders of black people by white people will be waved around as ANOTHER ZIMMERMAN and each one of those 3.7 victims will be waved around as ANOTHER TRAYVON. As some sort of proof that the non-guilty verdict opened the flood gates of hell.
But why stop there, when such stories can also be dredged up from the past to show what a scourge gun-toting white people are to this country?
