Say it ain't so

What is the world coming to? Clint Eastwood on reality TV? Oh, that's so sad.

Distorted version

Guilt or innocence aside, see the video where Trayvon's a foot taller than the store clerk? When will we see the media using grade school pictures of George Zimmerman? Biases are so damn obvious!
