Just caught up on the last six or so pages. Two uses of the term "black folks" and something about my penis. Good to be back on topic.

Well it's not politically correct to report those. I don't understand it. Maybe Cythim can explain it. He'll find some way to explain how it's "racist."

Website Offered Gun Owners Shooting Range Targets Of Trayvon Martin
By Adam Peck on May 11, 2012 at 2:00 pm
Targets featuring the likeness of Trayvon Martin
An unidentified individual from Virginia is hoping to cash in on the tragic death of Trayvon Martin by selling gun range targets meant to resemble him.
While the targets don’t feature a photo of Martin, they do depict a silhouette of a hoodie clutching a can of iced tea and a pack of Skittles hanging out of the pocket, details pulled directly from the descriptions of Trayvon Martin on the night of February 26, when he was shot and killed by George Zimmerman.
According to a local news station in Orlando, the seller of the targets readily admits he’s hoping to make a profit over the tragic shooting of a teenager:
In an email exchange with reporter Mike DeForest, the seller wrote, “My main motivation was to make money off the controversy.”
The seller would not disclose how many paper targets had been made, but said in an email, “The response is overwhelming. I sold out in 2 days.”
Some of those targets were sold to two Florida gun dealers, according to the seller.
The listing, which appeared to have been posted on the online gun outlet store gunbroker.com, has been removed, although as of publication the Google Cache of the page is still available. For $8 plus shipping, anyone could purchase a 10-pack of the paper targets.
Mark O’Mara, the lawyer for Trayvon’s killer George Zimmerman, strongly rebuked the targets, calling it “hate-mongering.”
Gun owners, even those who believe George Zimmerman is innocent, were quick to criticize the targets and the person behind them. “Even though I fully believe Zimmerman was justified in shooting, Trayvon was still a human being and does not deserve that kind of disrespect in death,” one member of the firearm owners association told the Orlando station.

What? The racism displayed by the media for the failure to report hate crimes by blacks in response to the Trayvon shooting? It is shameful that they call Zimmerman racist based on knowing half the story yet refuse to invoke the racism card on these hate crimes inspired by revenge for Trayvon.

Med exam on Trayvon killer reveals Zimm took a beating

A medical exam of George Zimmerman, the man charged with murdering unarmed black Florida teen Trayvon Martin, reportedly shows that Zimmerman suffered a series of injuries that could back his claim of self-defense.
A family doctor looked at Zimmerman the day after he shot the 17-year-old in February and said Zimmerman suffered from a “closed fracture” of his nose, two black eyes, head cuts and back pain, according to ABC News.
One of the cuts on his head was nearly an inch long and the other was about a quarter-inch.
Zimmerman, 28, also had bruises on his upper lip and complained about stress and “occasional nausea when thinking about the violence,” the report states.
The doctor did not diagnose him with a concussion but said it was “imperative” that Zimmerman see “his psychologist for evaluation,” ABC said.
Zimmerman had been previously prescribed Adderall and Temazepam, used for attention-deficit and insomnia respectively.
Those meds can cause side effects such as agitation and mood swings in less than 10 percent of users, the network said.
Zimmerman, of white and Hispanic descent, went to the doctor to get permission to return to work.
He declined hospitalization immediately following the shooting and rejected his doctor’s advice to schedule a follow-up exam with an ear, nose and throat doctor.
The extent of Zimmerman’s injuries could help his claim that he only shot Martin (inset) in self-defense.
He told cops that his head had been pounded into the ground and he pulled his gun after Martin reached for it first.
But a special state prosecutor has said Zimmerman started the fateful confrontation after profiling Martin, who was returning to his father’s girlfriend’s home.
An Orlando TV station reported that the FBI is also investigating Zimmerman for potential hate-crime charges.
Zimmerman, who is hiding out at an unknown location while out on $150,000 bail, could face the death penalty if convicted by the feds of murder. The FBI is questioning witnesses to the shooting, WFTV-TV reported.
The medical report came as a collection of evidence was released as part of pre-trial discovery.
The evidence, which includes 67 CDs worth of documents, also includes video of Martin on the night of the shooting, his autopsy report and video of Zimmerman being questioned, ABC said.
It includes video of Martin at the 7-Eleven where he bought Skittles and iced tea before the shooting took place.
Special prosecutor Angela Corey’s office also included in the filings a list of witnesses it plans to call, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
George Zimmerman’s injuries:
* Broken nose
* Two black eyes
* Two cuts to the back of the head
* Back pain
* Bruised upper lip

Sources: Medical report says Zimmerman had broken nose, other injuries after fight
(CNN) -- A medical report by George Zimmerman's family doctor shows the neighborhood watch volunteer was diagnosed with a fractured nose, two black eyes and two lacerations on the back of the head after his fatal confrontation with Trayvon Martin.
The medical exam, which was taken a day after Zimmerman's February 26 altercation with the unarmed 17-year-old, says Zimmerman suffered a "closed fracture" of his nose, according to two sources who have detailed knowledge of the investigation.
Zimmerman, 28, is accused of killing Martin on February 26 as the African-American teenager walked back to the Sanford, Florida, house where he was staying, after visiting a convenience store. Prosecutors have said Zimmerman, who is a white Hispanic, killed Martin unjustly after profiling him.
Zimmerman, who acknowledges shooting Martin but claims self-defense, has entered a not guilty plea in the case, which has not yet been scheduled for trial.
Zimmerman faces a second-degree murder charge in the case, which has gripped the country, caused nationwide protests and has shined a light on race relations and gun laws in Florida.
After the shooting, Zimmerman told police that Martin rushed him after they exchanged words, knocked him to the ground and repeatedly hit his head against a concrete sidewalk.
The medical report appears to lend support to Zimmerman's claims. It also mirrors earlier statements made by Zimmerman's father, brother and lawyer.
Zimmerman's brother spoke of the medical reports in a March interview with CNN's Piers Morgan.
"We're confident the medical records are going to explain all of George's medical history," Robert Zimmerman Jr. said at the time. "You return force with force when somebody assaults you. George was out of breath, he was barely conscious. George (would have been) dead if he had not acted decisively and instantaneously in that moment."
The Martin family has questions about the medical report, said Benjamin Crump, the family attorney.
"The family has very strong positions about this family physician's report that was done the next day," Crump said. "What we do know is on February 26, the ER personnel did not believe his injuries were significant enough for him to go to the hospital. They didn't even put a Band-Aid on his head. That's important."
Also Tuesday, CNN affiliate WFTV reported that Martin's autopsy showed the teen had injuries to his knuckles when he died.
That evidence could also support the theory that Martin and Zimmerman fought.
Crump also responded to that report Tuesday night.
"He was fighting for his life," he told Anderson Cooper. "Let's not forget that Trayvon Martin was fighting a man with a 9-millimeter gun. We also have to remember that he didn't start this fight. George Zimmerman got out his car and pursued Trayvon Martin."
On the night of the shooting, Zimmerman had called 911 to complain about a suspicious person in the neighborhood, according to authorities.
In the call, Zimmerman said he was following Martin after the teen started to run, prompting the dispatcher to tell him, "We don't need you to do that."
Zimmerman apparently disregarded that advice.
A timeline of the case against George Zimmerman
Sanford police initially declined to arrest Zimmerman, saying there was no evidence to contradict his claim of self-defense under Florida's "stand your ground" law, which allows people to use deadly force anywhere they feel a reasonable threat of serious injury or death.
After weeks of protests demanding his arrest, a special prosecutor appointed by Florida Gov. Rick Scott filed the second-degree murder charge against Zimmerman.
He was arrested on April 11 and briefly jailed. He has returned to hiding after his release on $150,000 bond.
------------
That bolded part is important. A lot of legal experts have said Martin's autopsy would prove if there was any altercation between the two. I'd guess something like this is what they're talking about.
