Twitter Has Yet to Yank @KillZimmerman Account; Where's the Media Outrage?
In the aftermath of the Gabby Giffords shooting, the liberal media were quick to harangue conservative Republicans for a campaign website that had depicted tiny images of crosshairs on different points of the continental U.S.. They represented targeted districts in the 2010 midterm race, including Rep. Giffords' seat.
But now in light of the ongoing coverage of the Trayvon Martin shooting, there's a different infamous set of crosshairs, this one over a picture of George Zimmerman, the Sanford, Florida man who claims to have killed Trayvon Martin in self-defense last month. That image is the avatar for a Twitter profile established on March 24 with the handle @KillZimmerman. Despite conservative bloggers and Twitter users' complaints, as of press time the Twitter handle is still live. What's more, the liberal media have thus far been strangely silent on the matter.
Also of note, other Twitter users have taken to including #killzimmerman or "Kill Zimmerman" in their profiles or user names in some capacity or another:

Because they'd love to report the story if someone were to succeed in the goal.

Tonight's NBC Nightly News shows the grainy surveillance video of Zimmerman at the Sanford PD. They point out that you can't see a bloody nose or scrapes on the back of his head. They asked an expert, who said he can't make a conclusion either way.
The narrative is that there is a conspiracy between the police and Zimmerman to make up a lie about self defense. They won't let evidence (or lack thereof) get in the way of the MSM liberal agenda!
Where are the Zimmerman lawyers?

Should this man be in jail? Yes.
But having a virtual lynch mob is not the answer.

....and they sent me an email that said I can't report people who don't offend or incite violence against ME! So, you have to be George Zimmerman to report this solicitation for murder, but GZ is too smart and he should not be posting.
I hope George's family calls Twitter directly to protest this.

Yikes. I am not exactly Zimmerman-friendly, but this is disgraceful. If something does happen to Z, or even to someone in FL who looks like him, both Twitter and whomever this tweeter is are going to be in a world of legal hurt.
Plus it's just plain disgusting.

What is not being said in all this is the comparison to lynch mobs of the past, who killed black men without a trial. This is the exact tactic, only on a national scale.
By inciting this hatred, black Americans are approving of, and justifying every KKK killing of black men in the past. There is NO difference in the mob mentality.
If we had a fair and free press it would have been pointed out numerous times by now.
Whitewashing Trayvon Martin

The Whitewashing of Trayvon Martin
Aesop’s shepherd boy cried wolf so often that villagers didn’t believe him when a very hungry wolf was really stalking his flock and the wolf ate all the sheep. Morals: Don’t lie and, when you do, you shouldn’t expect anyone to believe you when you finally tell the truth.
(See “The Trayvon Martin Bonfire,” http://bit.ly/H28Eaf, and “America’s One-Sided Race Card,” http://bit.ly/HnQeQC.)
Those morals should be studied by blacks agitating for the condemnation and execution of George Zimmerman for killing Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida on February 26th, 2012.
Since the case went national, we have witnessed an almost unprecedented upheaval attended by astounding lies and distortions from black leaders. Not since Rodney King was portrayed as an innocent and large areas of Los Angeles were burned to the ground in 1992 have we seen such an outpouring of organized venom and mischaracterizations designed to instigate public discord.
Any untimely death is a tragedy and the death of a young man is especially tragic. However, the circus atmosphere created by professional race-baiters, by the media, and by Martin’s parents in the wake of the shooting is a shameful disgrace which only serves to needlessly stir up racial animosity and demean Trayvon’s memory.
Contrary to initial knee-jerk media coverage but according to the Sanford Police Department’s “Incident Report,” Zimmerman, a part-hispanic, registered Democrat, shot and killed Martin after the muscular, six-foot two inch Martin ambushed the overweight neighborhood watchman and pummeled him while he was merely doing his job watching the gated neighborhood in Sanford.
There can be no reasonable doubt as to Zimmerman’s injuries. Police first attempted to resuscitate Martin and then administered first aid to Zimmerman who was bleeding from his nose and head, and a laceration is visible on the back of his head in a survellance video shot at the police station.
Statements were taken from six people who witnessed the attack in whole or part.
See the Sanford Police Department report here http://thedc.com/GUFFpi.
That neighborhood will never be the same, not because of Zimmerman’s self-defensive actions but because Trayvon Martin has become a cause célèbre for fomentors of black rage, a dead but potent tool to stir up racial strife, the bread and butter for such people as Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and the New Black Panther Party.
As they continue to arouse racial passions in black communities and as mostly-black high school and college students throughout the country stage misguided protests . . .
