    4000 African Americans murdered annually but take solace in the fact that the police are investigating everyone of them to find the murderers and prosecute to the fullest extent of the
    law.

    I trust you're on the problem, now, Boom.

    The background piece on Zimmerman presented here actually seems to be relevant to the killing; I haven't seen any of the background elements on Martin that could claim the same.

    Go back a few dozen pages to a number of Boom's posts. This was a back pages story too until it became clear Sanford PD had turned it into a grease fire.

    Some people are complaining about how NBC edited Zimmerman's 911 call.

    Sorry, I'm still more outraged that an unarmed 17-year-old kid is dead and the guy who killed him is still free than how the media is covering it.

    The software compared that audio to Zimmerman's voice. It returned a 48 percent match. Owen said to reach a positive match with audio of this quality, he'd expect higher than 90 percent.

    "As a result of that, you can say with reasonable scientific certainty that it's not Zimmerman," Owen says, stressing that he cannot confirm the voice as Trayvon's, because he didn't have a sample of the teen's voice to compare.

    NORTH MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Fourteen people have been shot and two are dead in what may be one of the worst mass shootings in South Florida history.

    The shooting took place around 9:30 p.m. outside the Funeraria Latina Emanuel funeral home at 14990 W. Dixie Highway Friday night.

    One of the victims, a 43-year-old man, died outside the funeral home, authorities said. The other, a 27-year-old man, died at the hospital.

    Aventura Police Sgt. Chris Goranitis told CBS4 News the funeral was for 21-year-old Morvin Andre who died on March 16th, one day after he jumped from the 4th to 2nd floor of the Aventura Mall parking garage in an effort to escape pursuit by Bloomingdale’s loss prevention employees.

    The Medical Examiner ruled his death a suicide because he chose to jump rather than be apprehended, according to Goranitis.

    I really haven't seen anyone else stepping up to claim they represent the black community like those two presume to do.

    So what if they do? Does it make it so? Lots of people claim to speak authoritatively on or about or for certain things. Many of them are full of shit.

    I think the point is they only show up when they can score cheap racist points and - at least in the Jesse's case - extort money from the target if it happens to be a corporate entity.

    Jesse can't make money off of black kids killing other black kids so he doesn't give a shit about the problem.
