March 20, 2012, 9am CDT--no mention of Trayvon Martin on FreeRepublic

[KansDem]

No mention of his killer either.

Not that this should suprise us.

But a free society based on democracy should debate the pressing issues and its controversial events, whether you like them or not. Apparently, FreeRepublicans want to ignore what happened in Florida.

So much for "freedom-loving 'Murikans."

1. No mention ANYWHERE on the site, even in the archives.

This has been an issue for weeks and NO ONE on the site has even thought to have brought this up. If a news item doesn't fit a freeper's preconceived notion of something, it doesn't exist to him.

2. I have seen a couple of posts over there about this

but that site's so pathetic that trying to find anything in the archives is a herculean chore.

3. After the recent 911 tape of Zimmerman calling Trayvon a coon they don't want the fact that

....ardent racism still exist to show up.

Then there's no arrest of this guy...

This crap is a tradgedy

4. I was just over there and they had an earlier thread.

From what I read (just the first page) most of the posters think the shooter was in the wrong. The rest seem to be complaining about the media's coverage and the involvement of civil rights groups.

5. Thanks for the link

Some of the comments are amazing--

6. That thread just shows how obvious this whole thing is.

Even some of them see it for what it is.
