Remember Chris Cervini? Three years before we ever heard of Trayvon? Or Roderick Scott three years before Zimmerman? Probably not but WHY??? Look where we are going as a result.. thenewamerican.com But it’s clear who’s most guilty: the media (and the market empowering them). As to this, remember the unarmed 17-year-old shot by that grown man some years ago? Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman were, respectively, their names, right? Wrong. I’m talking about 17-year-old white kid Chris Cervini, shot to death by black man Roderick Scott in Greece, New York, three years before the Martin incident. Unlike Zimmerman, Scott is built like a brick outhouse, is a highly trained martial artist, and never had a hand laid on him by the teen. As with Zimmerman, Scott said he thought his life could be in danger and was acquitted by a mostly white jury. Unlike Zimmerman again, however, the Scott incident never became national news and a federal case. For the record, I accept both verdicts. The point, though, is that if the media didn’t present a skewed picture of interracial crime, there might not be an obsession with channeling Orwell and appointing government as mind reader.
