by the media - all the tales of black people shooting at rescue helicopters, Lord of Flies behavior in the Superdome were reported as "facts".

And refugees from NO were gunned down by the police - just because they were black.

Racist vigilante murder is all the rage these days among conservatives.

Let us hope that Zimmerman gets what those racist NO cops got.

hard time.

JEB and the FL GOP are co-conspirators in Trayvon's murder.

yup
