Has this been reported on ANY main news site?

Of course not.  They're only looking for stories where a black individual gets hurt/killed by someone who may sorta kinda be white.


You won't see the video in the title post on any major news sites for the same reasons that you don't see the one right above you on any major news sites or the thousands like it, because its not that big of a deal.

You just want it to be far more than it is, so you can use it to make bitter comments against what you've chosen to view as unfair favoritism towards black people.


Had that been a black tourist in a place where he wasn't the supposed to be, the same would have happened. Go to Eastern Europe and walk through a white ghetto filled with hoods and see if they will come up and give you a hug out of brotherly love. The guy wasn't attacked because he was white. The racist element is something you and the others in this thread have chosen to add at and for your own convenience.

And I bet in the same breath you'll tell me Zimmerman was a racist.

Edit: To your above comment.  Actually the police did do their job.  They questioned Zimmerman at the scene. They took him in hand cuffs to the station for questioning.  At that point, the prosecutor didn't think they had a strong enough case since the only thing they had to go on was Zimmerman's story and 2 eye witnesses who saw Trayvon beating on Zimmerman, while Zimmerman yelled for help.  Of course, that wasn't good enough for the angry mob of race baiters.  No, they HAD to see an arrest and charges pressed against him. 

Now if you want to be mad at anyone for not doing their job, you should be mad at the media.  Even when the info was all there from Day 1, they made this about race.  They reported Zimmerman as white, when he is Hispanic.  They only released images of Trayvon from when he was like 12 or 13 (still haven't seen any recent pics officially released), not him as the 6'3" 17 year old young man.  They only showed Zimmerman in his mug shot from a few years ago, when he was much heavier and more intimidating.  They edited a 911 tape with the specific intent to make it look like he was only singling Trayvon out because he was black, when it was the dispatcher who asked him Trayvon's race.  They tried to report Zimmerman was saying "fucking coon." Then after they enhanced the tape, something they could have done from the get go, he's actually saying "fucking cold."  They finally showed the video tape of Zimmerman being detained after the incident (most people thought he was let go right at the scene) to try and show there were no wounds on his head, but after enhancing that footage you can see the lacerations to the back of his head.  How anyone can still believe these networks is beyond me.
