Why does the media show a five year old picture of Trevon?
The photo that main media uses to show Trevon Martin is a five year old photo. More recent photos show the tattoos and the gold grill in his mouth. His Facebook page shows that he was a drug dealer(self-admitted.) The media portrays him in a not so true light. What happened should not have happened and I think Zimmerman was wrong and should be punished accordingly. My question is why the media thinks its ok to give out false information just to tug on the heartstrings of people? My motto is live by the sword, you dye by the sword. If I were to wear a white sheet and a pointy hat and walk down the street. People would think I was a member of the KKK, right? Well what if I wore baggy pants with my underwear showing and a baggy hoody to hide my face, and I was doing this in a place where there had recently been break ins? Would it be wrong for someone to think I was maybe a member of a gang and was scoping the place out to rob them? I got way off subject there, sorry.
Im so sorry for the misspelling. Im also sorry you missed the whole question.

Because it's a white-ish guy killing a black kid, the media will try to promote this story as much as possible and milk out all the possible racial conflicts/issues and prosecute Zimmerman for it. Zimmerman's already been called guilty by the media despite them holding back and twisting a bunch of the evidence. These kind of situations are the kind the media loves to show and blow up. Yet, when it's a black kid on a white kid, it won't get much attention.

The Facebook page was a different person. http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/martin.asp The real Trayvon Martin didn't have a grill or tattoos.
Here's more recent photos. http://globalgrind.com/news/trayvon-martin-family-...
The media uses the first pictures that they can find, usually an outdated one from the parents.

Left wing liberal mental illness is the reason the facts and photos of Trevon were falsely portrayed. Their agenda of racism for political gain is startingly clear. Stiring the pot of unrest gives them a ripe story line and always keeps people of color victims no matter what the true facts are.

No one has ever been known to "dye" by the sword. In dyeing a piece of cloth, you change its color.
To "die" by the sword means that you lose your life to it.
Also, two "dies" are a pair of dice, as you know.
You are welcome.
