After living close to Balitmore and DC for 20 plus years, and seeing how gang wars, drug deals, etc. get a mere mention on the local news and then off to obscurity for them, then let's turn to this case.
We had the NYtimes for God's sake, trying to term Zim as a "white hispanic"... What the hell is that? Then throw into the mix race hustlers like Sharpton, Jackson, NBPP all out to stir up the nation in 'hoodie marches' and foment racial division and tension. Where are these poverty pimps, and race baiters when the family in Baltimore was burned in their house for "snitching"? Where is CNN, and MSNBC when 98% of black homicide is perpetrated by other blacks?
Earlier you wanted to bring in Duke, and Twana Brawley in the mix as examples of Zim trying to shirk responsibility of the events of that evening, however, what you seemingly miss here is that both of those cases are examples of the Media, and race baiters getting it totally wrong, dead wrong! And in Sharpton's case, he should be in an orange damned jumpsuit for the Brawley crap, that, and Freddies Fashion Mart where he knowingly strove to incite racial violence. And in the Duke case, do you know where that young woman is today? IN JAIL! Where is Jackson with her collage education he said he would pay for? That disappeared with the camera's.
