Is a Nuetral Discussion of the Traynor Martin George Zimmerman Case Possible?

As it apppears that rightist and leftist groups have attached their own agendas to this case I ask is it possible to have a nuetral facts only discussion free of any agenda about this case?

I think probably not.

Yes, I have to ignore a lot of hyperbole in that thread.

Are you simply assuming that anyone who posts something which doesn't accept your opinions as fact must be 'one of them'?

Or do you have some definitive proof? Say in the form that was already asked for in that thread?

No I just noticed right across the net after reading the various sites linkted to that several people are using it as vehicle to push an agenda regardless of the facts.

it was mostly following the links from the original thread to sites on both sides of the spectrium no assumptions at all.

An also reading the acocunts in the US papers my partner gets them on subscription.
