The “new” iPad continues to impress me. I decided to take advantage of “The Daily” offer for a free two-week subscription since the publication is designed to take advantage of the iPad’s high-resolution display.
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his News Corp. owns The Daily, a publication built for the iPad and Murdoch hopes, “the next generation of readers”.
Today The Daily features a news story, “Self-Appointed Cop” about George Zimmerman, who last month shot an unarmed person in Florida last month.
Police records show officers responded to more than 400 calls in the past 14 months from Twin Lakes, a gated, walled complex of 260 stucco town homes. Those include 50 suspicious person reports, eight burglaries, one other shooting and nine thefts.
Zimmerman is Captain of the neighborhood watch volunteer group in his Sanford, FL neighborhood. On Feb. 26 he shot Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin, in what police have determined to be “self-defense”. Zimmerman told police the teen started an altercation, and then — in fear for his life — Zimmerman pulled a weapon from his waistband and fired. Martin died as a result of the gun shot.
Zimmerman, who has not been charged with a crime, said he fired in self-defense. Police say they don’t have evidence to arrest Zimmerman, who has a concealed carry license. Florida has a self-defense law called “Stand Your Ground”, which allows citizens to protect themselves if they have reasonable fear of being killed or seriously injured.
The liberal main stream media is engaged in an orchestrated “witch hunt” designed to try and convict Zimmerman in the court of public opinion, though he has not been charged with any crime.
Inflammatory articles like the one written by Deborah Hastings in the March 19, 2012 The Daily are evidence of the slanted anti Second Amendment bias of the Media. The mainstream media is the most organized anti-gun group in the United States.
Hastings intentionally wrote a biased story, designed to prejudice readers against Zimmerman in particular and Second Amendment civil rights in general. The story is contributing to the lynch mob mentality that most of the main stream media is stirring up in this Florida shooting.
Hastings included bias reporting like, “He would circle the block and circle it. It was weird,” Teontae Amie, 17, told the Miami Herald. He was known for being really strict.”
Hastings included even more inflammatory remarks in her story, “Sanford, which is 49 percent white, has a history of uneasy relations between law enforcement and African-Americans. In 2010, it took police seven weeks to arrest a man- the son of a police lieutenant- who as caught on videotape punching a black homeless man.”
OMG. Call the record keepers at Guinness! There is such a history of uneasy relations between police and African-Americans in Sanford that it must be a world record. Yes, ONE incident in 2010 is the only evidence that Hastings provides to prove her theory. In the bias reporting of Hastings, “a history of uneasy relations” between police and the black community is one incident.
Hastings further demonstrates her lynch mob mentality by reporting, “George Zimmerman, 28, called police 46 times between January 2011 and this past February 26, when he shot to death 17-year-old high school student Trayvon Martin, who carried nothing but a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea.”
No evidence is presented in the story, as to why police believe Zimmerman fired in self-defense. The fact that Zimmerman fired after being attacked by Martin, who appeared to be under the influence and was wandering around suspiciously in the neighborhood while it was raining, was not mentioned in the story.
I’ve emailed Hastings at The Daily and will keep posted on any responses I receive. Here’s the text of my email:
I‘m surprised at the left wing anti-gun bias in your article on the Orlando area shooting today. The main stream media is the most bias group when it comes to Second Amendment civil rights . Unless guns are in the hands of criminals or being illegally exported to Mexican drug cartels by the attorney general, the media constantly demonstrates the radical “Brady Bill” bias. Your job as a journalist is to be objective, report the facts and leave your personal bias out of the story.
The fact is, that no arrest was made based on the law and evidence collected by law enforcement authorities in Orlando. You did not write a single sentence on why the shooter felt threatened. He obviously was able to articulate that fact or he would have been arrested.
Please provide me the email address of your editor so I may express my feelings on his lack of journalistic integrity also.
You can find out more about me by googling Bonzer Wolf or reading “about me” on the Bonzer Wolf web page.
You may find today’s posting about the brainwashing of young people “against guns” interesting. Eric Holder speaks directly to the anti-gun agenda, which you are spreading by writing slanted stories instead of reporting the facts.

Due to the the main stream media call for a public lynching, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division and the FBI will step in to investigate the killing of Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin, the U.S. Department of Justice announced late Monday.
“The department will conduct a thorough and independent review of all of the evidence and take appropriate action at the conclusion of the investigation,” the Justice Department said in a statement. “The department also is providing assistance to and cooperating with the state officials in their investigation into the incident. With all federal civil rights crimes, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person acted intentionally and with the specific intent to do something which the law forbids — the highest level of intent in criminal law.
“Negligence, recklessness, mistakes and accidents are not prosecutable under the federal criminal civil rights laws.”
DOJ needs to start investigating State governments like Illinois, California, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts and others for violation of citizens Second Amendment Civil Rights. Second Amendment civil rights violations BY THE GOVERNMENT is by far the most abused civil right in U.S. history.

The announcement coincided with a statement from Florida Gov. Rick Scott asking the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to offer “appropriate resources” in the case.
Police Chief Bill Lee told The Miami Herald last week that he’s comfortable that his investigators were fair and thorough.
“I can say very confidently we would welcome any outside entity that wants to come look at what we did,” Lee said last week. “They are welcome to come here and look at it. We have not done anything but conduct a fair and complete investigation.”
He dismissed accusations of irregularities and insisted that investigators found no probable cause to arrest Zimmerman, because there was no evidence to disprove his version of events.
The press is using their Constitutionally guaranteed freedom to stifle our right to keep and bear firearms. The media is the most dangerous enemy of Second Amendment rights in America.

Once again, Second Amendment rights are under attack by liberals who piss on themselves every time they even see a photograph of a gun. The debate on gun control in America comes down to this: People who lose nothing if guns are banned because they don’t use them demanding that everyone else be disarmed. A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.” — Sigmund Freud
