The Color Of Crime

Much has been said in the last few days following the Travon Martin case about race and how race relates to crime. I felt it needful to share these statistical charts. These are U.S. Census Bureau statistics from Chicago in 2010, so they are quite recent. The first shows the racial demographics of Chicago. The ones following show assorted crimes and which races are committing them. No further comments are necessary.

Media Misrepresentation Of The Trayvon Martin Case

Amidst all the hype related to the Trayvon Martin case, there is a bit of misrepresentation that needs to be cleared up. The photo of the baby faced African American teen is a four year old photo.

Here are some more accurate representations of the over six foot tall football player who was shot during the course of his assault of Robert Zimmerman, who can be heard screaming for help on the 911 tape shortly before firing the shot that resulted in the death of Martin.

This is being reported as though Zimmerman hunted a baby faced little teenager and shot him in cold blood. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
