look at the hate from the left VIDEO: AFL-CIO EXEC: CONSERVATIVE POLICIES KILLED TREYVON. It has officially begun. The move to blame a political party for the death of Treyvon Martin has officially started with AFL-CIO Exec. VP Arlene Holt Baker calling “conservative, right-wing policies that are to blame”. I’m surprised Baker isn’t publicly bashing the Florida state Representatives and Senators that sponsored the “Stand Your Ground” bill. When in doubt, blame a conservative. (DAILY CALLER) – AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Arlene Holt Baker told The Daily Caller that it is “conservative, right-wing policies that are to blame” for Trayvon Martin‘s death. [...] “The same folks who want to kill workers’ rights in the work place are the same folks who want to kill voters’ votes … and now they are literally supporting legislation that is literally killing our children.” Baker told TheDC that conservative policies, like Florida’s “stand your ground” law — which states that an individual has the right to defend himself if he feels that his life is in imminent danger — are to blame. “When you look at whose behind it, you find that the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a very conservative think tank comprised of corporations and very conservative representatives at the state level are behind this.” Quote via: The Daily Caller.

"Yes, we know you know the right wing spin." Do you know the difference between spin and fact? Spin is showing pictures of an innocent kid, not reporting extremely pertinent FACTS about the case and investigation to sway public opinion in a desired way, making sure to call him white even if he's mixed etc... The facts are: a call to authorities about a suspicious person, a direction to not follow him, a broken nose, a gash on the back the head, grass stains on the back of his shirt, multiple witnesses hearing someone yell for help, and a dead body. The story is, "I was heading back to my car after be directed to, he confronted me, he assaulted me, he went for my gun, I shot him". It's pretty simple after that. If you don't believe the story, you have to find facts that conflict with it so you can arrest him and bring him to justice. You don't start out by claiming the worst, riling up the country, putting lives at risk, destroying careers etc...
