how many of these reports are legitimate stories of retaliation attacks and how many are trumped up and spun that way.

See that's where it doesn't matter. Most sheeple read that and believe its true verbatim no matter how twisted it is. It gives people ideas and makes other people live in fear, the main purpose of mass media isn't to spread truth it's to spread fear.
Here's an excellent read regarding the media's culpability in all this. It's written by Larry Elder who is black, BTW.
The Media Downplay Murder When It's Black-on-White and Black-on-Black - Larry Elder - Townhall Conservative Columnists
The Media Downplay Murder When It's Black-on-White or Black-on-Black
By Larry Elders
Why did the Trayvon Martin case become such a huge national story?
Is it because an innocent black teenager lost his life at the hands of a man, George Zimmerman, who "racially profiled" him? Is it that the victim is black and the shooter was not? Is it because the major media push the narrative that white anti-black racism remains an "unresolved" national issue? Is it because "civil rights activist" and MSNBC host Al Sharpton demands the shooter's arrest, threatening peaceful civil disobedience and "economic sanctions"?
If violent black-white crime generates headlines, where were the media after the sickening racially motivated assault that occurred in Long Beach, Calif., on Halloween night, 2006?
Three young white women were brutally kicked, punched and beaten by a mostly black mob of 30 to 40 teens and adults. According to witnesses, during the rampage the mob yelled: "We hate white people. F--- whites!" Yet only two local papers reported the story, and one -- the Los Angeles Times -- published its article a full week after the attack! National Public Radio got around to mentioning Long Beach a month later, but only to raise the question of whether blacks, given America's history of racism, can even commit a "hate crime."
The way The New York Times covered the 1991 Crown Heights, N.Y., riots shows how the major media downplay black violence. A Columbia University professor called the three days of anti-Semitic rioting "a modern-day pogrom."
The Crown Heights riots started after a 7-year-old black child was killed in a traffic accident when a car driven by a Hasidic Jew went out of control. The Rev. Sharpton led 400 protesters through the Jewish section of Crown Heights, with one protester holding a sign that read, "The White Man Is the Devil." During the ensuing nights of rock- and bottle-throwing, nearly 200 people suffered injuries. Surrounded by a mob yelling, "Kill the Jew!" a young Talmudic scholar, Yankel Rosenbaum, was stabbed to death.
Last year, on the 20th anniversary of the Crown Heights riots, Rosenbaum's brother wrote: "It was Sharpton who repeatedly bellowed to the rioters, 'No justice, no peace!' And Sharpton claims his remarks at Gavin Cato's funeral were misinterpreted. Here is what he said ... : 'Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights. The issue is not anti-Semitism; the issue is apartheid. ... All we want to say is what Jesus said: If you offend one of these little ones, you got to pay for it. No compromise, no meetings, no coffee klatch, no skinnin' and grinnin'.'"
But according to a New York Times reporter, Ari Goldman, the Times insisted on reporting a false narrative: That during the riots Jews were as likely to be the aggressor as were blacks. Frustrated over the misleading reporting, Goldman said he called his Times editor to complain, "'You don't know what's happening here!' I yelled. 'I am on the streets getting attacked. Someone next to me just got hit. I am writing memos, and what comes out in the paper? 'Hasidim and blacks clashed'? That's not what is happening here. Jews are being attacked! You've got this story all wrong. All wrong.'"
The New York Times simply did not want to hear about the one-sided nature of the riots. Nor is accurately covering the extent of black-on-black crime apparently news that's fit to print.
Following Trayvon Martin's death, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, "Blacks are under attack" -- presumably by the George Zimmermans of the country. And Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., a black lawmaker and former member of the Black Panthers, stood up on the floor of the House. Against House rules, he donned a hoodie, presumably to demonstrate the unfairness of profiling a black man based on his clothing.
Rush later described himself as "an African-American father whose son has been killed on the streets." Rush implied that his son, like Trayvon Martin, was an innocent black victim of random street violence.
The details remain murky about the death of Rush's son. But Rush's son, Huey, was allegedly working as a drug-runner. Evidence suggests that Huey was targeted. One of the murder suspects said Huey had been paid $100,000 to procure drugs that he failed to deliver. And tragically, in 2002 another member of Rush's family, Dennis Rush, was convicted of first-degree murder and attempted armed robbery during a narcotics transaction. The crime had nothing to do with randomness or profiling.
For many in the media, the Trayvon Martin case is a referendum on "race relations" in America. But the case is really a referendum on the media. The media are intensely interested in covering white-on-black violence, even when rushing to do so -- as in the Duke lacrosse "rape" case -- compromises the truth. But the media are far less interested in reporting about the No. 1 cause of death of young black men age 15 to 24: homicide by other black men.

If that article is correct (which it probably isn't), why did they guy mention Martin?
The reality is that the entire Trayvon Martin case has no relevance whatsoever to anyone outside of immediate friends and family members (and the future lawyers and persons sitting on the jury). If you've ever watched the nightly news in a major city you will have seen a story about a white person killing a black person. Hell, I'd gamble that you'd see this a couple of times a month. Now multiply that across the entire nation, and what do you have?
This a routine thing that goes on. No one should care; it means nothing. It's all being blown out of proportion just to mess with peoples' minds and make people even less trusting and caring of others. If you really want to fight back in this case, treat everyone with respect and dignity and don't be afraid to smile and say "Hi" to other people when you're going about your every day.

Factional wars are inevitable.
Our educational system no longer teaches the tenets of Americanism that transcend Race or Religion.
Inscribed on every American coin are the words "United States of America," "In God we Trust," "E Pluribus Unum," and "Liberty."
The disciples of "diversity" not only seek to divide us, but to put us at odds with "We the People."

Man, 78, recounts assault by 6 youths in E. Toledo - Toledo Blade
Here is the fun part...
At his home Monday, Mr. Watts said he has never allowed weapons inside and that when his four children were growing up, they were not allowed to play "cops and robbers, to kill the Indians."
During the Vietnam War, Mr. Watts, who served in the military from 1950 to 1961, refused to let his boys play GI Joes.
There would be no more killing, he said.
But now, Mr. Watts says he plans to buy a gun and obtain a permit to carry it.
"What happened to me … down here on the corner, that changed my perspective on humanity," Mr. Watts said.

Maybe it is doing something weird on my phone, but I think the one I posted was the local article on the same event. But it is different articles.
I just wanted to point out the victim is gonna go out and get a chl.
George Zimmerman should sue the shit out of NBC for libel and slander for editing the 911 tapes to make him sound racist. Then he should sue cnn for editing it to sound like he said coon. Then he should sue Sharpton and Jackson for encouraging people to commit violence against him, and his family. And sue Spike Lee for attempting to have him murdered by tweeting what he thought was his address knowing there is a hit out on him in an attempt to have something violent happen to him.

Divide and conquor my friends.
with a national election looming in the distance.....coincidence???
Oh, probably not. We must have "The One" have another get-together on the White House lawn so that he may lead us to the Promised Land of racial equality, perfect health care, and economic bliss.
