So Where's the Gavel to Gavel Coverage for Brittany Watts & Daniel Adkins ?

Protectionist · Jun 24, 2013

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Right this second, 3 different channels on my cable broadcast is showing the Zimmerman trial, live coverage. Fox, CNN, and MSNBC are not covering it live, but they are constantly talking about it, with whole hour-long shows devoted to it, and continous coverage.

Did this happen for Daniel Adkins' murder ? . Not hardly. Did anything even close to this happen for the murder of Brittany Watts ? NOPE. And it didn't happen for hundreds of other black on white crimes either.

Right now, people reading this are probably saying >> " Who's Brittany Watts ? Who the heck is Daniel Adkins ? Well, that's because you didn't get the MSM foaming at the mouth, and falling all over each other trying to cover every minute and aspect of THEIR shooting cases, like they're doing with the George Zimmerman case.

When a black guy get shot, it's big news. Huge news. But when white people get shot, there's so little publicity about it, hey, we can't even tell you the name of the shooter half the time. And I honestly don't even know the name of the shooter in the Daniel Adkins shooting case, or if he even was charged. Last I heard he wasn't.

No comments huh ? Compared to the Zimmerman circus, this thread is about as quiet as Brittany Watts' and Daniel Adkins' graves.

Because it is far too common to be newsworthy....thus generally ignored.

Few have the fixation you project.

Perhaps it was a local news story which was covered extensively in Atlanta but the national media did not follow up on the trial because it was not newsworthy enough to grab everyone's attention. Had Brittany Watts been as seductive as Jodi Arias, it would have become good tabloid fodder which major news channels could not miss but all victims were too normal looking for a media circus. But I remember reading about the incident in April and there was some publicity surrounding it.

Did accused Midtown shooter target victims for being white? - Police & Fire - Midtown, GA Patch

Where is the outrage from the white community regarding this deadly shooting that could turn out to be the result of a moment of racial hate?

Are white people too apathetic to protest about the brutal slaying of this 26-year-old woman? Are whites too scared about being labeled a racist to protest the senseless shooting of a 22-year-old woman who has been left paralyzed from the waist down?

While tragic, I'm certain justice will be done. Odds are, Zimmerman will get 9 years for Manslaughter and Thandiwe will be put on Death Row for First Degree Murder

Zimmerman case is over. Game. Set, Match. Only question now is who dos George sue first ? I'd go after HLN and MSNBC and get Sharpton fired.
Next it;ll be George as new Florida Governor in 2014.

ROFL. Sorry, man. All this time I was taking you as some seriously demented right winger. I didn't know you had such a sardonic sense of humor. Kudos!!!!

My hat is off to you, sir!

You had me until you mentioned the lawsuit, which raised questions, but the governor had me floored! Awesome, dude. Really awesome. Job well done!....and a well deserved thanks for such a great sense of dark humor.

What humor ? We in the George Zimmerman fan club did a survey in Florida. It showed a possible 2.8 million votes for George over the not too popular Alex Sink, the very unpopular Governor Rick Scott, and the Oh-no-not-him-again Charlie Crist. Think it couldn't happen ? Forgot about WWE wrestler Jesse "the body" Ventura already ? (he was the Governor of Minnesota)

Then you answered your own question. Zimmerman received more votes than "Brittany Watts & Daniel Adkins".
