While checking facebook today, I came across a post about how the 'liberal media' is trying to stir up racial issues and hide the truth about Trayvon Martin - see for yourself:

Yep, it's got it all, Trayvon is really 6'2", and evidently a 'gangsta' and the media is only showing us his 12 year old picture...
It's disgusting because the comments under this post have people defending Zimmerman, saying he was getting beat up by the 6'2" 'gangsta' when he pulled his weapon.

Fortunately, someone showed up and presented the truth about this:
This is another Trayvon Martin facebook page being used to defend this horrific act.

The real Trayvon Martin page is here:
https://www.facebook.com/...

And it obviously shows that the pictures in the media of Trayvon are the same as his facebook page. And, seeing his Facebook page, his likes and friends, make this all the more sad and real.

I wrote back to the poster that the 911 call made by a neighbor clearly has a young boy crying for 'help' and 'no, don't' before the gun blast is heard.

I won't place the 911 call audio here, because frankly, it's too disturbing, and obviously not Zimmerman calling for help.

I am posting this, because I know people that will circulate this false photo knowing its a fake just to dupe people and to allow people to hold on to their racists notions of what happened in this tragic and criminal shooting.

Don't be fooled, a boy was murdered for no reason than a racist's fear and hatred, and defending him with this false photo is no better.
