what pisses me off the most is that I fell for it. I judged Zimmerman before I had all of the facts. Now I know that I don't have all of the facts and whatever "facts" that I do have, I don't trust. People really do hate being made a fool. And the MSM has made me feel like a fool. I resent it.

The narrative was perfect. Angry white paranoid wannabe cop kills without provocation, an innocent skittle eating, basketball loving kid. And the cops let the wannabe cop go without asking any questions.

Now what do we know about Zimmerman?
He isn't your normal WASP, he's really more hispanic.
He was apparently getting his ass kicked by the kid that he killed. In spite of his greater mass

What do we know about Trayvon
Seems to be a wannabe gangster. Probably not so innocent. And certainly not the 12 year old kid that they showed in the photos.
Not sure about the skittles or the basketball. I mean, would a real basketball fan walk to the store during the game to buy skittles? I wonder if there were any drugs in trayvon's system. If I was a 17 year old kid looking to smoke a doob, I might tell my parents that I was going to run to the store to buy some skittles....

Anyway, now that the "facts" are coming in, it is so obvious that we shouldn't have believed the narrative in the first place. It was absurd to start with.

I feel like a conspiracy theorist now. I feel like I have to assume that everything that I hear in the media is a lie.

I hate that
